It's posted all over other forums and reddit since last night. Would have expected a patch today by now. Get in while you can though.

So is this basically the same tactic as buying multiple rat trap trucks/bloodmobiles, only with a better XP to cash return?

Yes, but the Rat Trap trucks and bloodmobiles only give you 10% XP base rate, before any multipliers are added. The Rat Trap truck costs 150,000, so 10% of that is 15,000 XP. All KEM stores are 220 cash, and have a base rate of 2000 XP, which means you get approximately 900%. You also got an extra column of land with this event, so put that land to good use. 900% compared to 10%, this is too good an offer to pass up.

At first I thought it was a mistake but maybe they have given up on making it harder and are just letting us do it. Not complaining.

Have the KEM's changed in look? For some reason they feel like they look different. Might just be me.

Ah ok, cheers. Thought I may be loosing it. Might still be!

i didn't want to fill my town with KEMs, what i did was use 150 Kems, used people doing Duff gardens, SH Furniture store and Coffee shop for quick xp (apx. 22people total when not doing Monorail tasks). XP collider running 10 days constantly, also ran people on hourly tasks. With in game cash i bought rat trap trucks and sold them immediately. I hit 939 on Monday without making my Springfield look like an Apu nightmare.

This is probably something we all want to keep quiet about.

I have to assume that this is the beginning of the end, though, that there will be an update shortly that will gut the XP you get for them. If not, it will be RAINING donuts and all purchase restraint will be out the window.

I feel like a noob, but I really don't understand KEM farming for donuts. Can someone explain it in small words? Because I may have just bought, like, ALL the KEM.
