Perhaps if it happens it will be linked to eggs.

The less eggs you have left in inventory the more donuts you get.

This would be a cool way to reward the players who are team players and to punish those who are stingy &/or lazy.

Just a thought. Idk.

    People with over 5,000 snakes will get 30 donuts.
    People with over 10,000 snakes will get 75 donuts.
    People with over 15,000 snakes will get 150 donuts.
    People with over 20,000 snakes will get 200 donuts.
    And finally, people with over 25,000 snakes will get 250 donuts.

    If this chart is correct I best get back on my game and start collecting snakes as I want the 250donuts :mrgreen:

    Always nice to get free donuts so not really bothered as long as I get some cos I need donuts hmmm

    I posted this in another thread, but I thought it deserves its own thread. I've got a theory that on May 10, (actual Whacking Day), we'll get these donuts that are mentioned in the game files, but haven’t made an appearance…so far:

    "You've just found the super secret bonus!"
    30 Donuts
    75 Donuts
    150 Donuts
    200 Donuts
    250 Donuts


    But what’s with the different amounts? I believe that they will be awarded based on how many snakes you’ve accrued throughout the end, at your final tally, as a ‘reward’ for how ‘dedicated’ you’ve been throughout the event. Perhaps on a stepped basis such as this. Or something similar:
    People with over 5,000 snakes will get 30 donuts.
    People with over 10,000 snakes will get 75 donuts.
    People with over 15,000 snakes will get 150 donuts.
    People with over 20,000 snakes will get 200 donuts.
    And finally, people with over 25,000 snakes will get 250 donuts.

    It's just a little too suspicious to me that the event ends the day before Whacking Day. I think the 12 donuts we got yesterday are a taster of things to come!

    It would be ironic if people stopped trying to get snakes after 12,500 because the prize boxes only have a crummy 1-3 donuts, or $750-$1000 cash...and then this "Super Secret Bonus" gets revealed at the very end. :shock: I bet some people would be kicking themselves if they could have gotten the full 250 donuts, but because they stopped trying, they only got 75 donuts... :mrgreen:

    Anyone agree with this prediction? Or have any other predictions on what will happen at the end of Whacking Day? Donuts? Extra Prizes? Nothing?

    I like the way you think mwdalton, always on the ball! :)

    This was my theory in another thread as well mwdalton... Great minds think alike! i think this is going to be the secret bonus.

    I may be off a bit on the science, McTattie...EA might throw people under 5000snakes a bone. It might be more like this:

    1-4999 snakes gets 30 donuts (so must have at least started Whacking Day)
    5000-9,999 gets 75 donuts
    10,000-14,999 gets 150 donuts
    15,000-19,999 gets 200 donuts
    20,000+ gets 250 donuts

    I hope they do, but i do not see them doing this, i think possibly when whacking day is over with the new update i think we may get the "you've just found the super secret bonus" and get some donuts for completing the event.

    That might be more like it but I think getting 250donuts is still a long shot let alone the 30 off :mrgreen:

    EA has thrown us curved balls before, though. And this IS quite a hard event, if you haven't paid donuts to get the Elite Whacking Licence, logs, stumps or rocks, or gamed the system with egg buddies.... :?

    I'll get some major street cred if I'm right! :D

    I feel it's necessary to point out that I could just be completely full of baloney, so let's not get our hopes up too high. :wink:

    I dont understand how it would be a super secret bonus if everyone got it automatically.

    Seems more like the # over the required 12,500/22,500 would be the 'super secret bonus'.

    It's a 'super secret' bonus if they don't tell us about it in advance, which technically they haven't. (Apart from the game files)

    But your point is well taken. I thought that at first, but I think this system is what will happen.. I guess we'll see!

    I think your right about when the doughnuts will be distributed but I think you have the number of snakes required too low. My guess is that the 30 will start at 26,000 and it will move up from there.

    I wonder if it might be related to the Whacking Day quest lines. Ignore for a moment the main whacking day quest line which gives you snakes upon completion of each task. And also ignore the quest lines that require premium purchases, Lugash and Ninja Homer.

    That leaves five quest lines they throw in with not much benefit to complete - Gymnast Lisa, Duff Stadium, Bare-Chested Willie, Drederick Tatum and Miss Springfield. With five bonus level prizes, this matches up.

    Complete one Quest Line for 30 Doughnuts, two for 75 Doughnuts, three for 150 Doughnuts, four for 200 Doughnuts and all five for 250 Doughnuts. Why else would you bother taking Homer off a Snake Hunt for 24 hours to visit Duff Stadium?

    This is all speculation. Could be completely and totally wrong.
