it's 5 emblems for clicking on the lodges, so it's theoretically possible to get 300 emblems a day. But frankly it's a pain unless you are extremely diligent. Visit them anyway even if it's just for one emblem, they can see you visited them and if they are decent friends they will return the favor to you.

any idea how many emblems r needed for the final prize?

EmceeHammer wrote:any idea how many emblems r needed for the final prize?34,000 before the end of the event, you need roughly 1,250 per day. The 240 unearned emblems won't make or break you, not visiting your neighbors probably will since they can see who visited them and may not return the favor if you don't visit them.

EmceeHammer wrote:Is it even worth it to visit friends for 60 measely emblems a day?It's not what you can do for yourself, it's what you can do for others in this event. Look at it like this, if you visit a friend, even if you DO NOT earn emblems during that visit, your friend has an opportunity to earn 15. Now if you stop visiting friends and get deleted, you LOSE that opportunity to earn the 15 emblems that one friend would give you by them visiting your town. Yes, it can get bothersome especially if you have the max FP, but just know that this event is HEAVILY reliant on friends visiting your town, so if you are that"bad friend" you run the risk of losing a lot of friends because they NEED you to visit. If you lost 10 friends due to you not visiting you will lose 150 emblems PER DAY that can hurt.

You have to be keeping some sort of tally or spreadsheet to figure out who isn't vising your town daily. Or you could always guess. Either way, my inactivity counter is never past 24 hours, I log on multiple times a day so there's no way they are going to delete from "inactvitiy." You can't say that its "heavily" reliant when you get 30,000 emblems from the #1 daily quests. Among the rest of the quests, robed guys, visiting friends once every few days, or having other friends visiting and checking daily I probably get 20-30 friends at least from my list visit will make almost 150 emblems a day there will be plenty of room.

Like others have said, you risk being deleted if you don't visit your friends, plus it still counts as FP points so you can either collect those or get an occasional free donut. By visiting friends they at least get an extra 15 emblems because you did what any good friend would do "visit your friends"I've deleted 10 friends from my list today as they haven't visited once during the new event, why because they collected their 60 emblems from people starting at #1-a in their list, I fall at "r" so get missed a lot by selfish or lazy friends. Mind you I started out with about 5 friends visiting a day, now I get an average of 20 per day, not bad when you consider I've got 70 friends in my list.I'm not a greedy player and don't visit friends and only hit their lodge for the 5 emblems or just get my 60, I visit each friend everyday regardless of an event or not. I might need points etc but so do my friends, especially the new players.Friends in my list don't get deleted if they are rebuilding, if they haven't visited their town for 3 weeks I just think they are on holidays and wait until the fourth week to see what happens, friends don't need to visit me daily but if they ignore me continuously bye bye

Without friends you would not get to about 1/2 way finished with all the items. You need around 1250 emblems a day to complete the items. With the 400 max from #1's quests, and 100 from the parchment quests, you still need 750 to reach BARE MINIMUM. At max if you only hunt for lodges you can only get 300 emblems meaning that you would still be 450 short. The robed guys are derived from friends visiting your town. The more friends that visit, the more robed guys show up.

It seems that way with mine. I check my Springfield at LEAST every two hours and if I have had 6-7 friends visit, there will be 4-5 guys running around. If I had only 1-2 visit I usually only see one guy.

Is this confirmed? It's the first I've seen this idea. I just assumed they were generated over time, like ghosts or bunnies were.

If I go into my town and the lodge is tapped, I take note of who it was. I then tap all my other pyramids and if that name doesn't pop up, I write it down and wait about an hour. If that name hasn't tapped any more buildings, they get a strike.

You only give it an hour? It's often twelve hours between me tapping some lodges and going back to do normal taps. :shock:

Sometimes, I get the timing right with one of my neighbors, and we'll trade lodge taps until we both have three. That's always nice.

The lodge gives five emblems while any other building only gives one.

I tried to spread my tapping around through the night and morning, but frankly that didn't work out well. They will all get my taps, but they won't be lodge taps anymore...

And the trading of taps has only worked with two tappers so far, and I suspect only because they were also awake doing the Number 1 tasks at the same time.

The lodge gives you (as the visitor) five emblems instead of one. We get sixty actions per day that allow us to earn emblems, so a lot of us try to use all or most of them on lodges. Some people leave it at that, some people go back and complete their taps so their neighbors get more emblems. (It's also considerate to not tap the lodge if you aren't able to earn emblems, so someone else can tap it and get five.)

My first 60 taps are Lodge only. I run through all of my friends multiple times until I get those Lodge taps in. Sometimes I get to tap the Lodge 3x for the same neighbour. (obviously playing at the same time I am) After tapping 60 Lodges I start again and complete tapping all my friends (ignoring the Lodge, so others can tap it). I usually get my 60 taps late in the evening, so the rest is done the following day.

I don't keep taps on who visits me and what they tap. It's just too much effort.

I do this ^

I don't think I'll be deleting any of my lazy neighbors. I play many times every day, but I don't think I could clear my lodge often enough to satisfy a full list of very active neighbors. I've already EARNED (ooh I love say earned instead of won) Mr. Burns and the money pool, so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing any enjoy the ride 8)

I'm clicking on the camera things!

Me too. Did anyone explain this? I am new to the forum and it has been very helpful.

Now I understand why some "friends" were only tappin on the lodge. Never realized there were diff. Numbers of emblems for it and the other Bldgs. :wink:

You know some people actually keep a written log about who visits them and then they will delete those who don't. It's not just about activity on origin account.

I think everyone should visit all their neighbours to help others receive emblems. Besides, there is a chance to get donuts from neighbours towns, so yes, it is worth the time.

While I delete inactive friends, I think keeping a running tally/written log is a bit excessive. That would take so much time, it's simply not worth it.

As for the OP's question, yes, it's definitely worth it. You can get a bunch of money (if you're maxed out on your friend points) and I'm always getting the free donuts. Normally, I get at least a couple free donuts a day by going through all my friends. Also, as others have said, if you want to keep your friends and if you want people to click on your buildings, you should reciprocate. It's a bit unfair to expect people to click on your stuff if you're not willing to do the same. What's the point of having friends if you're not going to click on their buildings?

They are time related you will get 1 robed figure every hr in your town, with a max of 6 in your town at once. There is no bank, so they won’t store up for you after that 6 max.
