i think i found a glitch with channel 6 news handshakes

Nice find. You can also do this with squid port, the air stage & Cletus farm. They receive 3 taps if you space your visits giving the neighbor time to collect.

    is handshake the official term of going to a friends city and tapping one of their buildings?

    if so, i tapped on a friends channel 6 news 3 times in a row -- tapped, went to friends list, went back into friends city, and was able to tap again, then repeat for the third time

    this is probably already known
    yes this is well known, but thanks for sharing just incase we didn't know :mrgreen:

    it's the argument of the day. Are those glitches? find out now.
    anyway no it's known. I did it also with simpson house once when a friend didn't have any other tappable

    The neighbour has to clear each one before the next one actually registers in their town. It might look like it's working on your end but you do have to space the taps out over the day as CoffeeMars pointed out.

    btw It isn't a glitch. Someone used that term back before Halloween when the SP tile feature was discovered and the term has unfortunately stuck. You'll notice that most tasks are character generated and result in thumbs up when done. The big 4 (Sp tile, stage, farm and Ch6) are building generated and result in unique icons. These are special features that allow multiple handshakes (one handshake per building for every time you log into your town).

    thanks

    it happened so fast, it's surprising the owner of that city cleared the taps

    it was literally, tap, exit, enter, tap, repeat

    As dgwglenn points out this work for Channel 6, Squidport , Cletus farms and the stage. These are all farms as you have to put something in to get something out. If future updates bring the same type of structures, you can expect they will work the same way (or this feature will be removed for all)

    ok i just created a profile so i could test this. its TJ1100CL if anyone would like to add it.

    i check farms, squidports, and tv stations daily for all of my friends.

    so i tested, and as you said, you can do 3 quick enter/exit visits and tap the tile 3x.

    BUT - they dont register as three unique taps on the receiver's side. in fact it looks like a good way to WASTE TWO TAPS.

    HOWEVER - as already stated if the town owner clears the first handshake you give, you CAN give another. Wait fir that one to be cleared, an then you can give the third.

    so YES you can give three tiles per day, provided you work the alternating giving/accepting with that neighbor. same with crops and tv broadcasts.

    this is why ppl develop feeder towns. its a lot of log in/log out and you have to keep a "base handshake" (dont tap the last one) to keep the completed tile/crop available.

    its one of the few generosities in the game. enjoy it while you can!

    So, i get the going out/in deal with a feeder town or friend tapping more than once, but do I have to clear the "top" handshake before more than one neighbor can tap my tile? Meaning, if multiple friends visit me in one day, can each "add a tile" via handshake, or do I need to clear the top one each time?

    I'm trying to figure out how to fully exploit the Squidport glitch/gift (glift??) :)

    No it's no waste, I give my feeder town 3 tiles a day from my main town, it's annoying logging in and out every tile but I get 3 tiles in 10 min

    This has been known for quite some time. Same goes for tiles and crops.

    No, you don't have to clear them. I've had over 10 handshakes on my tile before. I never have less than 2 just for safety sake. Darn christmas update took that away from me because I have so many tiles.

    Sure, you can go in and out on all the glitches & benefit. However, they only get 1 handshake.
