Oh God if I knew I was going to be the first to vote I wouldn't have picked that one

I've been through this exercise once with my B-town. Well sort of. No RL money. The stacking glitch had been fixed. etc
But why the rule of no taking advantage of glitches? From other things you've said it seems you are trying to reproduce the experience of a player who doesn't even use the various TSTO sites at all! Yet you are not willing to give up walkthroughs. My point is that if you have access to walkthroughs then you have access to people who can share glitch info. Even addicts talks about the glitches (eventually).
Excellent point. On the issue of glitches ... obviously, if we find out about them somehow, we could (and probably would) use those in our main towns, so it's not as though we won't know about them. I mean, we WILL be on the forum for insider-information.
My point was to discipline ourselves to play our NEW towns without taking advantage of them. More like a new player who DOES come to the forum to get advice but comes along at a time that they've missed playing glitches, and have to earn money the old-fashioned way. Like, I keep hearing old-timers say "I can't imagine what it would have been like without the stackable handshakes". I also wonder how it would have affected me if I knew I wasn't eventually going to get that houseboat I wanted. I knew I was going to get it because I had the Endless Bob tactic, so the stress of that event was MUCH less for me.
In this challenge, I meant to have us experience the frustrations, and to hear the posts of "don't worry. Just keep playing the event regularly and you'll get all the prizes." (That is, the ones that didn't always fully appreciate the role "luck" was playing in their own achievement.)
This would have to be hybrid. Do we use-every-bit-of-much-insider-information-as-the-forum-gives-us? Or do we use the insider information that a player will have access to even if they start the game a year from now and play the game to its completion during a period that happens to be glitch-free? What would THAT be like?
Thoughts?
