    I have 3 characters 'stuck' doing Stonecutters quests - Bart, Homer and Krusty! I understand I will probably still get XP and money, but I have other quests I need Bart for, can I take them 'out' of these quests?

    If they're in a building, just store the building. That should take them out of their task.

    If you just need Bart, you can also store his treehouse and place it again.

    This just happened to me too. I was hoping to get my last three donuts :(

    After the update everyone on the #1 task was off task.

    and I've been forced to update. I was less than 200 emblems away from another 3 donuts.

    NOOOOOOOOO!!!! :cry::cry::cry:

    I was also 30 minutes away from completing No. 1's 3rd task.

    WHY EA WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

    I had just collected my donuts a few hours before the timer ended. I didn't update right away, but when I went to visit neighbors, noticed that only a few were still on the Stonecutter version. By that time I was about 800 away from the next award, I had already completed my #1 tasks for the day and without having a lot of neighbor visits, I knew I wouldn't make it. I also tried to hang on after Easter, but was forced to update within a day after the end of event. Unlike Valentines Day, the last two events have ended on time, pretty much. I think we need to plan on this in the future.

    I was eligible to start the 3rd task at 4:08am but I had to be at work at 4:00am. Didn't get the chance for a "potty break" :wink: until around 5:30am.

    Seriously, next time I'm just going to be 10 minutes late to work and start the task.

    Can't believe people complaining about extra donuts... I couldn't complete quests and get all prices/character skins etc because I only started playing on 14.6... you are lucky to have finished everything!

    Sorry your event experience was less than stellar. I wasn't lucky. There were no wheels and no misery boxes. No luck involved. Completing the event with enough time to get extra donuts was solely due to very dedicated tapping and lots of good neighbors :mrgreen:

    If you're new to the game, take heart, you'll do much better next time. It's hard to complete an event when you're lower level. If you aren't a newer player and missed the first half of the event due to circumstances in RL, RL trumps TSTO every time. If you missed the first half of the event because your game didn't work, send politely phrased rage emails to EA tech support until they compensate you.

    FWIW free donuts are really important to some players. For some, it's the only way to obtain premium currency. I've recently found myself in that boat due to my son's medical expenses.

    If you need a dependable neighbor for the next event, PM me, I think I have an opening.

    Same here I missed the next round of donuts by a couple of hundred. My third task was a 6hr and I got a forced update with an hour left. It was nice while it lasted. Now back to reality where EA wants you to spend donuts not give you them.

    Thanks. I only started playing the game on 14.6 but still managed to end up with over 30,000 emblems and most of the prizes (except the anvil), with some of the parchment prizes. I really played a lot, every day, throughout the day...it also took me a few days to figure the game and all the bits out.

    I understand real life is more important, that's why I don't spend money on the game...so I know donuts are important but since I will never have all the game components anyway, I don't get too excited about them.

    I added you as a neighbour, I am quite reliable as well :)

    I too am a tad dissappointed that I am being forced to update this afternoon. While I am a lvl 42 player, I have a new feeder town I created just before the event started, so was playing catch up the whole time. I managed to get all but the anvil...and would have gotten that tomorrow if I had been allowed to continue.

    Oh yeah...this also means that I basically stayed up past midnight last night for nothing. But like someone in another thread said...now I can finally start going to sleep before midnight!!
