    I've taken the opposite approach. As the end date looms nearer, my hope has faded so I've started tapping glitchables again because why the heck not. I have two prizes left and now instead of getting money I'm most often getting 50 gift cards, which is at least 100x more infuriating than 1000 money.

    Of course I just keep spinning, just keep spinning, just keep spinning spinning spinning, but all enjoyment has been sucked right out of it.

    On a positive note: I loved your post and I love your badge. That is the first badge I've actually cared to put in my siggy. It's great! :wink:

    Credit for that cool badge goes to beeblebrox900. You might want to check out his (?) posts in this thread.

    He made a couple more that are pretty cool. You might especially appreciate the I Hate The Wheel Badge. :lol:

    Now that they've extended the event for another week, maybe our luck will change. :wink:

    To my neighbors in this thread: giving you 5 bags each, and will keep doing so until end of event. Not much, but I'll do what I can!

    I have a backlog saved up, since I quit visiting neighbors for a week thanks to wheel-completion-burnout. :oops:

    Thanks, UCLA! :wink: Been meaning to tell you I really like your UCLA. :D

    Hi Neighboorinos! I am exactly in the same boat, I have over 133k gift cards and still missing the Clausco. So whenever I see a glitchable at a neighbor' I have to decide: click it or not ! I just hope I will clear that wheel soon enough, and get to my normal game, because my characters have been looking for Homer and Lisa for over a week now !

    Wow, I'm really making the polar bears sad lately. Just dropped five bags in your town too.

    Praise Jebus you're luck will change.

    Aw, thanks! I saw someone post a TX longhorn made of traffic cones a while back, and thought 'hey, that's cool' and then ran into the problem that there are zero decorations in the game which are UCLA blue. So I went with the river option.

    The 100k unlucky club is great but we also need to try to figure out who has the highest card count at the end of the Christmas update WITHOUT clearing the wheel. That person should receive something special.

    wxjunkie0, that is a great idea. That gives those who don't clear the wheel something to strive for.

    I'm trying to think of the award. "The biggest loser" award badge?

    Or, how about a badge with Gil on it and a quote like
    "Oh, boy Gil's movin' up to the big time."

    Not neciserily a friend, but good luck with getting the rest of the prizes on the wheel. :)

    Hi, My name is lisaseviltwin, and I'm a card ****. :shock: :oops: :lol::lol::lol:

    Big shout out to lisaseviltwin - it was because of your awesome town that I found out about the glitches!

    Thank you, thank you!

    I hope that one day my little town will look half as good as yours!

    You've GOT to be confusing my town with someone else's town. :lol: I just started plunking buildings down during Halloween & still haven't properly organized things. The only thing I had going for me is that I really made an effort to get my neighbors to visit the forum to find out about the tile glitch & then the ones that followed. :D

    You're still working on clearing the wheel, right? If so, I'll save you some gift bags. :D BTW, really like your avatar and sig. :thumbup:

    Not confusing your town - it is really nice!

    Still working the wheel...need Claus Co...I'm not too hopeful that I'll ever get it. My corn will be ready in 3 days, so I will have something nice to focus on, instead of that danged wheel.

    Agreed. My hope faded back in 2013.

    I think I'm about 115,000 cards in and just got Claus Co to clear the wheel this morning. I was ready to give up hope after a two week dry spell, especially since I had started with the advantage of having everything from last Xmas.

    Just keep plugging away. I think people know what's going on with collecting cards vs. tapping glitches. At some point it becomes a quest not to decend into madness.

    Oh Jeez, don't apologize! Tap what you need to. It's all just pixels, right?

    I love how you've spelled out your needs in your LZ. If you have a minute, can you screenshot that? Now that the community prizes are done, I'm trying to concentrate my gift bags on people still trying to clear the wheel. It helps a lot to see a note like yours. (Or conversely, to see wheel goodies near the LZ.)

    Feel free to tap whatever you need to in my town. Big hugs, and good luck with that wheel!

    123k+ and still have Helter Shelter & Snow Monster/Yeti on my wheel.

    My apologies to my friends, but I won't be tapping "glitchables" right now, as I am locked in some kind of mad, quixotic quest to clear The Wheel. (So far, the windmills are winning.) :oops:


    My trials with The Wheel aren't so much making me angry as they are making me sad. :cry: Or maybe that's just the holiday blues. Don't know, but I'm going to keep trying until either my luck changes or I become a multi-millionaire the hard way - one $1000 spin at a time. :?




    P.S. Also owe apologies for being absent from the forum so much - I even have PMs to catch up on. :oops:


    I wish I could give you my spin tokens. I have 105. I was one of the lucky ones who lucked out and got everything in the first three days. I did spend about 250 donuts though, which after reading the horror stories here is a trifle...

    I enjoy you as a neighbor and have missed you here on the happiest place on Earth.

    I hope that EA offers these items up for sale at the end of the event so at least, if you want, you can buy these things.
    Here is a crazy cat lady in hopes that EA gives us her in the much anticipated level 38 update.

    I am also tilting at the wheel! My resignation has set in though. So if I happen upon your glitchable, I'll tap it. But I'm still pretty much collecting cards in the hope that I'll hook that whale known as Claus Co. Call me Ishmael.
