Reasons for not participating in the event?

If they have other games in their profile, they might be playing those and not TSTO.

    Ah, I see. Still curious if anyone isn't participating in the event though. :)

    I assumed they have no idea how to play this game. They probably don't do tasks from their task book and just assign the characters whatever they want. The only reason they have the tree is because they had no choice.

    I removed the last house farm out of my friends list today, other than that I now have a list of 98 who play regularly

    Also some might not be playing because of religious/philosophical reasons, I can see why some Christian groups would be against it, all the decorations etc. being against their ideas about what Christmas is.

    Not sure why those same would be playing a Simpsons game, but hey, there you go.

    Trolls don't have a monopoly on the ridiculous contradictions one can live with and still take yourself seriously.

    Regardless of philosophical reasoning etc... you'd think they'd be happy to log in for the Mapple Store, Bowlarama and Try'N'Save. Three limited edition buildings that will look fantastic after the Xmas update is gone and one of which came with Barney!

    I tend to agree with your point about the timing. Xmas coins certainly don't seem to be as easy to collect as the sweets during the Halloween event.

    I confess that I have used donuts to pay for a few Sata's Sacks in order to buy the Bowlarama and Try'N'Save but I guess I justified that as it's like paying for premium buildings which I had no problem paying for in the past.

    I have one neighbor that added me quite awhile ago, he or she has a pretty decent town but has not done any of the Christmas things at all, the only thing they have up is the tree which was given to us for free anyway, I think I might delete them soon, I want to have real fans/players as my neighbors lol

    My theory is that many players are young and aren't playing on a device that they have full access to. If you cannot login to iTunes and App Store and update the Tapped Out application, then there's no Christmas tree and Christmas update for you.

    I've been brutal and deleted anyone who hasn't got Christmas decorations, including a real life friend! I've got to say I've gone from hating the house farms to loving them, so easy to collect coins!

    Got a bit ruthless tonight while Santa coin hunting.

    Any of my friends who haven't decorated any houses got the chop and some of them had been playing today.

    Perhaps they were simply not interested in participating in the theme and don't want the extras that it brings, but can't understand why, almost what's the point of playing at all?

    Many we're probably using the iPod 2 that apple no longer supports. And so they got no update.

    I have to admit, I deleted everyone who was either not doing Xmas or was getting the limited edition buildings but not decorating.
