    Ok well first of all I could not clear this event and heres why. I had finals and I was studying a lot. I still managed to play daily but not as much as I normally would. But hey I managed to pass all my finials so no summer school for me :D but either way here's what I dont get. Why would you want this event to end? I mean does it affect you in any way? Its not going to push back any updates. No one is making you tap on emblems. Plus if you did you still get doughnuts for it. I mean like really just because you cleared it doesn't mean you have to hate on us who did not have time to finish it.If this event was any other time I would of cleared it and guess what I would want it extended for people who could not clear it. So ya in my opinion we should all want this event extended because it only helps players and does not hurt them at all.

    Actually YES it will interfere with an update. We always get a 4th of July update, and while it may be a short one, it is still a new one.

    While I agree that it's very possible to finish the event completely, you have to understand that some people not only have jobs, but also their own families, may need to work more than one job, they can have social lives off the grid. Not everyone has the time like I happen to have this past month to complete it.

    A friendly reminder. :)

    Amen!!! Add to the fact that my game wants to stop working half the time, slow down/freeze, or when I visit friends give me money/xp/fp but no emblems.

    Whatever.....as much as I enjoy the game, I am finding myself caring about it less and less. I actually am enjoy the family guy game soo much more. No bugs or issues and it's actually funny. It might take longer to do things but they don't cram a crap load of high priced items in the game. Just my opinion.

    You only get 60 emblems from visiting friends. This has been went over time and time again. You only prosper in this event by having friends visit you and giving you buildings to tap in YOUR town.

    Sorry, this is of topic, but... Are you kidding? This whole event has been cramed full high priced items! It just seemed like a shameless money grab to me in the end.

    Anyway, on topic... I don't think they will extend the event, but if a lot of people are asking for an extension, I don't mind if they do. And even if they don't, people are allowed to ask for an extension on a public forum without having their private life questioned.
    Keep in mind that you may be able to extend the event a little by not updating until the game forces you.

    My game crashed on the 22nd and the only way they could fix it was to roll my game back to the 15th. Lost all the emblems I got in between and they wouldn't refund them - one extra day will allow me to get the table

    I finished EVERY #1 task from the beginning, and it wasn't too hard. You just had to commit to it and set an alarm here or there to make sure they were finished on time.

    lots of people are not so addicted to a game to set alarms and disturb sleep to play a mobile phone app..

    lots of people cannot check their phone at work or school every 2 hours to get the tasks done for many reasons.. (some being a boss that works close to them who might not like the fact you are playing a game during work to unlock prizes among many other reasons)

    whilst i finished the event you seem to think everyone can devote the same amount of time to the game as you which is not the case and why many people have not completed it.

    I think it's pretty selfish of someone to come onto a public forum and to write a thread about how everyone that disagrees with his view, are wrong.

    The OP was a bit harsh. Not saying he didn't have a point, but it does seem a little incosiderate of other peoples lives. I mean if the event was extended no one would get hurt so why complain about an expansion. Oh well what can ya do right...

    By the way I love your signature! :thumbup: ape to Homer is just so fitting haha! :lol:

    It's possible for anyone to finish unless they literally started this week or so, then it's understandable or some other instance (Hospitalized, No internet access, etc...)

    I started a week late due to a vacation I was in with my fam. Also even with work, wife, 10 month old & other commitments & responsibilities, I was able to finish with about a week left or so. Didn't think I would make it at first, but I did. I even played my other games (GTA 5, Call of Duty, etc...)

    I understand people wanting for an extension, but extensions in the past have only delayed other updates from happening. And considering July 4th is nearing, it's highly unlikely an extension will occur.
    Just out of curiosity, how do you know other events have been delayed because of an extension?

    If that's really true maybe it's not worth extending the event. Sucks for those who didn't finish I guess.

    I don't believe one cannot have a toilet break every 1-2 hour of study or work.

    While u are in WC, just login TSTO from your phone, take less than 1 minute to clear No.1 task and move on.

    I agreed with whoever started this thread, those who can't complete the event is just giving themselves excuses.

    Even if EA extend SC event for another 1 month, there will always be someone who complain they need more time.

    Can never satisfy everyone.

    I was under the impression that nothing had been delayed by extended events in the past, so why would it now?

    I don't mind either way if they extended or not.

    How will it interfere with an update, we get them all the time during events like the last level update.
    We had (1) 4th of July event 6/28/13. That's 1 event out of 2 years, and if we get 1 this year it will be 2/3. So yea we always get them.

    Stop your dumb thread. Here's why. Everybody is different and has a different use of their time, which could lead to missing no 1 tasks. A 1000 a day makes a huge difference.
    And you had to have had very willing and nice neighbours who visit your Springfield often to gain a lot of emblems instead as visiting others gave a limited amount.
    It's a matter of different experiences. Is it so hard to imagine that?

    And why complain about an extension if:

    - it can give you extra donuts
    - you already had an update with new items during the event, so new stuff is always possible
    - there is always time between events, so why the rush - unless you have a problem with giving others the ability to get all the prizes.

    The timer on the event expired about 2 hours ago, and I hope we see an end to this event before the end of the day. While I sympathise with those who didn't finish the event, I think EA allowed ample time for players to collect all the prizes. I can see by the emblem counts that all my neighbors (full list) completed the event.

    At the end of the Easter event, many players (including myself) avoided the update hoping to collect a few more eggs, hoping for a chance at the gold-egg prizes we had not yet collected. In my (and my friends) case, more time only resulted in more beach blankets and fence pieces.

    No one expects a 10:00 train to delay it's departure because they arrived at the station at 10:05. If you missed the train, hopefully next time you will arrive a few minutes earlier...or not. The July 2 end date was announced at the start of the event. Time to move on.

    Don't forget the extra time you get! The end had to be an App Store update so just wait until you are forced to update!


    Okay I am under the assumption of an App Store update but they usually are! Splash screen goes back ETC.

    You never know with EA!

    I joined the game late so i won't & don't expect to get everything, having extra time is great if the next event isn't due for a couple of days then whats the problem. People asking for it to end now seriously? Why? How does it affect you? Short answer..... It doesn't! You just don't want others to have more of a chance to get more. Very selfish and a bit spitefull you should be ashamed of yourselves

    If you did not spend enough tone on the game and did not get all the prizes then tough. Don't go asking for an extension of the event. You will have to stick with what you got. Simple
