Goo Club: The 100,000+ Crowd

montywash

Hahahaha, this thread cracked me up.

I didn't get the glitch but don't fault those that did for tapping insanely, I'd probably have done the same.


And you didn't tell us your total.

bradyc79

Yes please post your total, still very impressive.

But don't assume everyone that high had the glitch. Did you see some of the things built around ghost zappers for auto collecting?

Love your badges! (You haven't posted yours yet). I did make TotalTapper a special 1,000,000 goo ribbon with a little possessed Todd on it, but yours are GREAT.

What about my 100K gremlins and 10K ghost bombs??

all get thrown in the trash

I'm personally @ 1.1 mill and I'm not the highest on my friends list

:shock:

Wow. That... wow.

I am at 240,852 and likely won't hit the 250K mark. I didn't get hip to the vacuum tip until a week or so ago.

1.1 Million. When I consider the other side effect and the great things it has done for my town - Barney's, for example - I can only imagine what you've been able to do. Cheers and Holy Crap!

how many donuts did you guys with the glitch get?

Indeed I don't. If someone got over 100K without an infinite possession, they should definitely get something better than my crummy vacuum.

I was well on my way to joining at least the 50K club. I was already at 20K when I glitched, without a ghost zapper or anything but friends and time. (Although, I must admit I became a *master* last-ghost-multi-tapper until that got fixed. I still regularly do 6. )

But, you know, once Luigi got possessed, so did I. The event can't end fast enough for me. I've already built a nice expensive lot for Luigi's restaurant and I'm giving him time off until he gets called up in the level 36 quest I haven't been offered yet. Poor thing. I've abused the heck out of him all month.

It's tough to say because I also bought $35 worth of Golden Scratchers over the course of the event. Which is more than I've ever bought in a month. I still can't fathom the phenomenon, and I sometimes wonder if I was part of an experiment.

I saw it in his post and love the little possessed Todd, and your badge design in general. I sheepishly posted an old screenshot to the 50K thread, but didn't make good on it out of guilt. I knew matching my goo count to real players was entirely unfair. Hence, my tongue-in-cheek response for those "guilty innocents" among us.

Edit: to make clear which thread I sheepishly posted on, the original bretttolmstead post at: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9759147.page

As the event winds to a close, and I see cool awards being proposed for Goo-Related accomplishments, I would now like to address the lucky b**tards among us, myself included.

We didn't ask for it, but it came to us: the infinitely possessed character. On October 12, I tapped a possessed Luigi. He popped out a goo and went back to normal for a split-second. Then he was possessed again. I tapped again. More goo. And once again, possessed.

I spent close to a month of my free time engaged in an activity that became known around the house and office as "Tapping Luigi". Later, I was "Vacuuming Luigi" (you can imagine the vulgar alternative).

I know that I am not alone. We have kept silent on these boards, for the most part.

The first rule of Goo Club is you do not talk about Goo Club.

Our neighbors knew - they must have - or assumed we were using hacked games. But, no, we were just lucky recipients of The Glitch.

So, to recognize those among us who don't really qualify for the other awards going around, but still put in a time-consuming effort with our little goo factories, I present the Goo Club Vacuum Awards.

Gold for 250,000 goo +


Silver for 200,000 - 249,999 goo


Bronze for 100,00-199,999 goo


I made little versions for those who want to brag while still hiding their heads in shame:


Post your screen shot, come out of the closet, claim your vacuum.

Edit: Credit to spAnser's http://www.tstonews.com site for the nice vacuum image I used, by the way.

I earned my 58,000 goo the old fashioned way:)

That's why you get the cool badge, and also why I don't feel like I deserve the cool badge.

There is no club for those of us with 48k-49,999 goo. Those of us who were so close but won't make it to the 50k club because we took a week off during October for life reasons.

Yes there is, it's called the looser club!
No, just kidding Seriously, you deserve a badge too if you want one!

Dear lord!

I feel sad that I slacked off on tapping and that my phone broke
this last week. Maybe I could have come close to these insane
collections. I can only imagine how much real life time was spent
with your vacuum. Congratulations to your dedication!!

AKA the "I don't have a life" club.

brettolmsted

OP - I must say, you did a great job making the badges. I myself will be using one of them as my second account got the permanent possessed glitch just last week and I sat and held my finger on the screen for days.

So one of my accounts got 60K the old fashion way and my second account got the gold vacuum

P.S. I think it was a great idea for this badge. You should not feel bad about the glitch. I love good glitches that help us get free things in this game (harpies, SP tile, permanent possession). Again great job!!!

so... there was a glitch for the event? How did it work, i guess i should have checked the forums at the start of the event.

There was this glitch when one had a permanently possessed character and that way they could get a lot of goo...and donuts.
