Gonna have about 45.5 hours to get Bont. Pretty much the dictionary definition of squeaky bum time! It may take a small donut spend at the end to complete it but for a while I didn't think I'd get anywhere near. I'll also have the nerds for most of the second act so that should be a little easier.
My secondary town is going to be cutting it close. I've been pretty regular about logging in, but I only have Scorpio for premiums. My main town took longer than I would have expected, since I have all the premiums. I haven't even gotten bonus boxes yet. This event seems pretty hard compared to past ones. I hope everyone who regularly logged in gets Bont, but it looks like that's not the case.

No it seems this event is very freemium unfriendly. I have a circle of RW friends who play, and none of the freemium players will be able to complete Act 1. I have 16 characters collecting intel, and am on a minimum of 4X per day and I am still 8000 from Bont.
Unsolicited friends requests are all denied.Please PM me.

Exactly.
Totally feel bad for the freemium players! If TSTO starts becoming like FGTQFS I will be so disappointed. I spend money here for premium because I never "had to" and I have spent a large amount over the last. 4-5 months. Completely exceeded my "allowance" I designated to the game in the beginning.
Solid non-stop grinding for 40 some odd days with premiums is not my idea of fun!!!
FWIW, I'm a freemium player with Duffman as my only premium intel earner and he's only earning half the time because the rest of the time I have him making yoga mats. I send 5-8 people at a time to collect intel and I earned Agent Bont yesterday afternoon. I've never had a problem earning event prizes.
Although, I really wish I could've earned more of those prize vouchers during the most recent holiday event.
Some of these replies make me feel a bit better about where I'm at. Started a couple days late and haven't had time to play as much as I usually do during events, and I'm absurdly behind. Definitely not getting Bont Even on days when I've checked in every 4 hours the intel number has just been crawling. Maybe not having premium characters makes a bigger difference this time around? I also haven't been visiting a lot of friends, because time constraints. Haven't struggled like this on an event in a long time, even when I've played about as intensively. Eh, c'est la vie!
Yeah with the amount of premium characters they have collecting intel it probably does make a big difference if you have them or not.
I need 10000 more to get bont in 1 day and 11 hours is it achievable?
I've got 9000 to go, not expecting to make it without using donuts to complete but it depends on whether you have any premium characters helping you or not. I've been hampered by the disappearing men in tan issue for a day or so, and also dismissed Intel daily challenges early on because I've never needed them before, until I realised how tight things would be. With those I'd have been ok.
Certainly looks like EA are trying to make it so that at least one premium purchase is needed for people to be comfortable in the event. That's fine for people past level 60 where it's easier to farm donuts but it's a nightmare for anyone still trying to get to that point. I have a lot of lower level neighbours and it looks like a few of them have just given up during this event. Unsurprising, really, when you consider the land required for both this and around the world is crippling for a small town with a lack of cash, even if you get free land tokens. Add to that the difficulty getting through the event completely freemium and you can understand why folk would jack it in.
I finished this act with about 5 days to go. I'm currently at 118K intel. So about 7 rounds of bonuts, I have every single character that earns intel so that helped big time getting this act done early

You can do it!
And still 2 days to go. You got this!

Was getting worried there a bit! I have all but 2 or 3 of the premium characters too. Dang
Only 17 donuts away from getting the nerds so that'll sort Act 2 out.
5 men in two hrs, you got that
