The Friendship Point Catch 22

You get friend points for graffiti - both tagging in friends' towns and cleaning up your own. I haven't tried cleaning graffiti in someone else's town, so I'm no sure how that works yet.

(Guess thus puts an end to the notion that graffiti-R-bad.)

I'm still not sure if graffiti isn't "bad". I did a bunch of neighbors buildings and I dropped down to 2 stars for righteousness. I would have thought EA would filter that out since we now get friend points for cleaning our own graffiti. It's all so confusing.

wait, what???

whats with this collecting/neighbor thing??? I have to NOT collect the stuff on my houses so you guys can collect it?! and how do you make characters "open" to my neighbor clicks?? its pretty annoying when I visit someones farm, search everywhere and nothing is clickable.... why is that? is it beause someone already clicked it and the farm owner hasnt collected it yet or what?

can you guys click the characters on my farm that are busy doing jobs??? sure seems like it.

I think someone clicked my cletus crop and made it grow instantly...is that possible to help a neighbor like that?

Try to graffiti your neighbors for this event, if your crop does a friend and tap it and it will regenerate it back to life to give you a chance to collect it again.

if my crop dies?? how does it die?

Bah - just buy some training walls and you'll never have any trouble with Righteousness dropping. :wink:

Lvl38 Righteousness = 173pts. Jail, Police Station & SWAT Van all are worth 10pts, so if you hide 14+ training walls (worth 10pts each), you'll have 5* Righteousness permanently, regardless of your graffiti habits or leaving Sideshow Bob to roam your streets at will.

. However, friend points make it difficult "be a good neighbor." If we are perpetually expected to have our town's buildings open for tapping friendship points (not just random money prizes that can collected at any time) in order to gain free prizes, how does a player accommodate the need to collect from their town buildings with the need to leave something for their neighbors to tap? It's a bit of a puzzle. I want to collect money from my town buildings, yet I also want to be sure my neighbors have something to tap when they visit. In encouraging neighbors to increase their visits to other towns, EA has, in effect, made it difficult for some to collect from ther towns.

I totally agree. I think that if ea had let the buildings be tapped more than once by visiting friends (like you used to be able to) this would be an okay addition to the game but as it is I'm just not sold. I have just been clearing any tapped buildings and leaving anything that's untapped for my friends. But that's only because I don't need the money generated from buildings. For newer players it would be a lot harder to have available buildings for visitors. I do think that in a couple of days the problem will resolve itself when people lose interest/taper off from visiting. I saw somewhere that a completion eta for all friend prizes (collecting from 100 people everyday) is 13 days. I do think that by not allowing the buildings to be tapped more than once by visitors puts new players at a significant disadvantage. I've had most of my friends for a very very long time but if you had a lot of newer players as friends collecting friend point would be very challenging and frustrating.
But at least there's not a wheel to spin :lol:

Let's not forget about Krustyland, you can collect from there as well.
