Personally, I would love if everyone experienced the original Halloween. By far the best event. Zombies let loose were priceless. Egging houses and tossing toilet paper in trees was the most fun when visiting neighbours. I wouldn't mind a repeat.
I started when they released the game in February 2012. As a long time player, I sometimes long for the slower pace we used to enjoy. If EA implemented some of the models from the past and incorporated them into the now, we would have a better balance.
this is the only big event I missed, and thanksgiving 2012, but it was a mini event. First big event for me was xmas 2012 and it was so slow and relaxing and fun. Just tap santa coins more or less and watch the snow fall.

Superheroes, Stonecutters and Tap Ball were my favorite Events. My favorite Halloween Event included tasks of sending the children Trick or Treating. There were times when Id just open the game to watch them going house to house.
I think they should repeat the Christmas, Valentines and Halloween that weren't available to android players (I have played every event) since origin came to android. There are very few original apple only level 20 capped players left.
Oh and whacking day. That was fun (and my now husband still hates this game because I made him log in while I was at work to tap snakes)
I wish I was around during Stonecutters... I bought a lot of the items when they came back for donuts, but I still didn't get to experience the event or get all the items. I would be happy if that returned.
But I think if they did this they could maybe combine it with a new event, and if you were around during the old event that returns, you can just relax and only focus on the new event.
Set it up so that the first part(s) of the event are the original event so that people who haven't played them before can ignore them, then add new content for everybody.
Not that it's gonna happen. EA wouldn't be able to sell all the prizes from previous events.
I think the correct term is ArmpitAttack
If you notice the first one was tapping his/her armpit, while the second did a blitzkrieg followed by a bear hug attack, therefore:
Armpit+Attack.
Certain of the mIni games are fun, yet I highly doubt they'll redo past events if it means releasing content for free when they can release it for donuts.
I still suggest a Swap Meet event to obtain previous event content (some freemium some premium) obviously it'd come with its appropriate questline, however the only way to replay previous events is with a time machine, and eve if ea released a time machine event there is no guarantee that all content that was freemium will remain freemium, or what content will be released.
Also they should do a Ray Magini event that is purely building skins, seriously what if I like the white house design but want it red or yellow or polka dot?
Not repeating events in place of new content, but how about making it so the events become like levels. You reach, say, level 30 and Stonecutters is available until you reach level 35. Get to 40 and Superheroes is available for 5 levels. Same quests, same content but the limitation is levels rather than time.
Obviously a bit of programming to deal with, the game is already over 1gb on my iPad and I presume they remove the event content once it's over.
It would not work:
1. A lot of content has already returned - for Donuts.
2. To offer old content - there would need to be a "fair" replacement. Saying new content - then there will be players upset they couldn't get everything. Say donuts - what would be a fair prize? 50 donuts? 250 donuts? I wouldn't want to tap snakes, collect blue eggs, or even tap bandits for hours on end to win something pitiful, like 50 donuts or less.
3. Say you participated in the event in the past but didn't finish - would you have to start over?
4. Say you bought the friend helper donut thing. Where you get more event currency visiting friends - would it still be around/active?
5. Those events that had generators - would they still work?
I missed Stonecutters so I wouldn't mind experiencing it and I didn't start playing until act 2 of the Superheroes event and I didn't have any friends to visit

I do miss his candour
noun: candour
the quality of being open and honest in expression; frankness.
"JoshJeerer says it's going to suck -- helpful as always, Josh."
LOL
Unless they cut the main events (e.g. Wild West) down to 6-8 days and the mini events (e.g. Chili Cook Off) down to 1-2 days..
Spending 40ish days, only to repeat it, would be torture..
