move graffiti buildings to landing area?as soon as I realized clickables are kaput, i re-arranged my town and moved 3 out of 4 graffitables to my landing zone and everyone, i mean 95% graffiti them. Sometimes one will do 2 out of 3, but that's rare.

Why?Some people are under the mistaken idea that graffiti is bad.Some people don't want to take the time to search for your graffiti-able buildings and just tap the first three they see.It's not worth a lot of FP, so not really a big deal as far as I'm concerned. If my neighbors graffiti, cool. If not, that's cool too.

I just switch one building for another... towns are not met to be set in stone... not in my head I guess. Actually, for every event, I re-arrange. I moved farm, channel 6 out of landing zone and moved Moe's, police and town hall in. I didn't move the school - that's too hard to do - would have to move Otto's bus, high school building, waterfall too, just a ton of work. 3 out of 4 not bad.

most people probably can't be bothered looking around your town for more useful things to tap. people with lots of friends might just want to go thru them quickly so just tap 3 buildings close to the landing zone.or they don't know it's useful and think it's bad because it reduces righteousness (they don't know about the training wall trick)

I'm fortunate to have so many forum friends, I get tagged all the time :)It also happens that my town hall and police station were already in my landing zone, and the school not far away, but I do have neighbors who seem to prefer skipping those (even when they're available) and finding a far corner of my town. I don't mind too much; like I said, I'm cleaning graffiti multiple times a day.Still wish they'd add spray cans to the cooling towers and the retirement home, since those don't pay out. Neighbors not being able to tap the plant just seems wrong, and we've always needed more graffiti (whether everyone thought so before now or not.)

Why?

Some people are under the mistaken idea that graffiti is bad.

Some people don't want to take the time to search for your graffiti-able buildings and just tap the first three they see.

I always graffiti when I can, regardless of whether the friends are from the forum. I do look but some SF's can be pretty big these days so if I can't find a graffiti building, I will just tap whatever I can find. I have one neighbor opening if you want to add me, OP. I love having forum members as my neighbors and I don't have near enough of them;)

Good idea about cooling towers!

Agreed. It can be frustrating, but remember, this isn't a race. You're going to get your prizes...we all will. Just enjoy the game and these forums along the way! :D
