When you first started playing TSTO

Mine was Valentines Day 2014. I was able to get at least four of each prize and a few more for some of the common
ones.

Whatever the very first one was. I've been playing so long I can't remember what the first one was, anyone?

The first event was Halloween 2012.

Whacking Day, I think. I started on a Friday night in Feb 2013 when a big blizzard blew into town. Decided I may as well check out this game my sister had been trying to get me to play. The power stayed on (thankfully), I was homebound for 3 days because the plows couldn't get to my neighborhood, and my Springfield was born.

She and I were each other's only friends until the Clash of the Clones event. I loved seeing other people's towns and spelled out my name in pumpkins hoping to be added as someone's friend. It wasn't until after Stonecutters that I found the forum and figured out that the way to get all the event prizes was to have friends (and read LPNintendo's walkthroughs)! So, I played for well over a year with only one friend :D And that is my life story!

First tie-in got DRC, first event was Halloween 2012 and still ranks in my top five events!

Halloween 2012 I started weeks before the first level update came out level 21

Xmas 2012

If I'm correct I started just before Clash of Clones. I started playing and said "I don't get this game" and came back a few days later to have to download another huge update where everything changed to castles... Then said "I don't get this" and didn't come back until the last couple of days of Clash of Clones. That's when I decided to do some research and try to figure the game out and found these forums.

Then THOH 2014 hit So I have the Barbarian and his castle (level 1) from Clash of Clones.

This is when I started too...in my case DH was playing for about a year before me so I'd already heard about the ups and downs of the game. Just kept plugging away at it, and here I am at level 51!

Halloween 2012- played this game since the first.... Soooo many months of nothing. Lol

probably hallowen 2012 unless whacki day was before that... its been so long ago.

Late into the Stonecutter event. This is my 45th week.

I started in November 2012, after the Halloween 2012 event ended. I had several friends who played during the Halloween event and loved it, but I didn't start until later. The first Thanksgiving was going on when I started, which was maybe considered a mini-event? I know that I got Fat Tony from some sort of a tie-in, but could only do 2 tasks because I was at such a low level, his play the violin and get rid of a problem tasks were the only 2 I could use. That does seem like such a long time ago.

My favorite event was Xmas 2012, which was my first full event. I knew what I was doing by then, and had enough neighbors to be really fun. When level 25 came out after that, with Burns Manor, I was like, "Wow, this is awesome!"
