    But if they clean everything up, you'll have the Simpson house to tap after 45 seconds, the Kwik-E-Mart after 3 minutes and the brown house after 5. I don't care how addicted a player is, no one is constantly clearing their Simpson and brown houses throughout the day. I believe the saying goes, "One does not simply have time for that."

    No,no,no!

    If you have a building that's ready to tap your friend can tap it.
    If you have a building that you tapped your friend can tap it.
    If you and your friend tapped your building your friend can't see it to tap it. Why? That's because your building hasn't generated a handshake for you to tap yet.
    If your friend taps your building they have to wait for the building to generate a handshake and you to collect it, before they can tap on it again.
    You have to clear handshakes, everything is tapable but the building that has a handshake on it.
    **** are you talking about? Most buildings still have timers on them, they can't magically be tapped before the timer runs out.

    **** don't you understand
    Build building = no tap
    Building done = tap
    Building not tapped = tap
    Building tapped = tap
    Building tapped & friend tapped = handshake = not tapable until cleared
    Your building is always tapable from the time it finishes building, the timer has nothing to do with it. Except when it has a handshake = less time (4hr wait =2hr wait approximately), you have to wait for the building to finish and generate a handshake and clear it. Then like the rest of the buildings it's ready and the timer has got nothing to do with tapping it.
    If you cleared your building 5 times I was only available for your friend to tap once.
    You cleaning a building that has 2 min to reset doesn't mean you friend has to wait 2 min to tap it, it was already to be tapped.

    I have a suggestion instead of just saying it how about you test it out and take a few screenshots with the time shown in each picture. One from your main town and another or so from a feeder town or vice versa that way you can show everyone if you're right.

    Sorry if it sounds mean I wasn't trying to be I was actually being sincere about that

    I've tested it. If you clear a building, your neighbors cannot tap it until it regenerates the $ in your town. That's how it works for me anyway.

    I've tested it posted in another thread and confirmed. I didn't do pics, and don't want to do it again just so you can say pics are fake. I you don't want to believe it don't.

    I don't doubt you I'm just saying that others might not believe you without proof. I clear every building whenever I can handshake or none but I always have something tappable

    You should doubt him because he's 100% wrong. He keeps posting the same wrong info over and over but he only bothered to test it once. He used two devices and didn't give the server time to catch up to his actions in the main town so he thinks neighbors can still tap things even after you clear them, which is completely false.

    Aaron, a challenge. Clear your entire town. Tap on everything clear everything. Then visit with a feeder town. Give the server a minute to catch up. Then visit with a feeder town. I guarantee you'll have nothing but the Simpson house to tap. Guarantee it. If you are right, EVERYTHING will be available to tap. I'll be waiting right here for you.

    Ooooh can't wait to see the response to this challenge! :lol: hehe

    Today? Or in the past? I urge you to do it exactly as I said. It will be crystal clear whether your town is full of things to tap or empty. Also, you said you didn't do pics and then you posted a pic of a piece of cake you ate in a different thread. What's up with that?!? (how was the cake?)

    Let's see what's 100% wrong hear.

    If you have a building that's ready to tap your friend can tap it.
    Coorect

    If you have a building that you tapped your friend can tap it.
    Correct

    If you and your friend tapped your building your friend can't see it to tap it. Why? That's because your building hasn't generated a handshake for you to tap yet.
    Correct with revision If you tap the handshake you'll still have to wait for the building to finish = ready to tap

    If your friend taps your building they have to wait for the building to generate a handshake and you to collect it, before they can tap on it again.
    Correct with revision If you tap the handshake you'll still have to wait for the building to finish = ready to tap

    You have to clear handshakes, everything is tapable but the building that has a handshake on it.
    Correct

    Build building = no tap
    Building done = tap
    Building not tapped = tap
    Building tapped = tap
    Building tapped & friend tapped = handshake = not tapable until cleared
    Correct x5

    Your building is always tapable from the time it finishes building, the timer has nothing to do with it.
    Correct

    Except when it has a handshake = less time (4hr wait =2hr wait approximately), you have to wait for the building to finish and generate a handshake and clear it.
    Correct with revision you'll still have to wait for the building to finish = ready to tap

    Then like the rest of the buildings it's ready and the timer has got nothing to do with tapping it.
    Incorrect you'll still have to wait for the building to finish = ready to tap

    If you cleared your building 5 times It was only available for your friend to tap once.
    Correct

    You cleaning a building that has 2 min to reset doesn't mean you friend has to wait 2 min to tap it, it was already to be tapped.
    Correct
    Let's see
    14 correct 3 revisions
    1 incorrect
    I don't know what % that makes me correct but you are

    You should doubt him because he's 100% wrong.
    Incorrect

    He keeps posting the same wrong info over and over
    Incorrect
    but he only bothered to test it once.
    Correct (now Incorrect)

    He used two devices and didn't give the server time to catch up to his actions in the main town so he thinks neighbors can still tap things even after you clear them, which is completely false.
    Incorrect

    3 Incorrect
    1 correct (now Incorrect)

    Both
    Only one handshake per building, wait for timer. Untapable building means your for a handshake to clear and finish.
    I didn't say I don't post pics I said I'm not going to post those pics.
    That's what's up with that!?!
    Good.

    You are making this too complicated. It's not complicated. If you collect the dollar sign over the Burn Manor, your friends will not be able to tap that building until 48 hours later, when the timer resets and it's available to you to collect again. The only things available for your friends to tap (besides graffiti) are things ready to collect in your main town. That's it. If it has a handshake over it, then your friends can't collect it. If it has nothing floating over it, your friends can't collect it.

    I already gave you a simple way to test this for yourself, but you are apparently refusing to try it. Fine by me. Just stop posting wrong info over and over again.

    I already told I did it 2 times and I am correct both times.
    A building has to generate money to be tapped, and it can only be tapped once per generation.
    So if you tap before a friend taps your friend doesn't loose the chance to tap it's still there.
    The reason you don't see a building to tap is because it has already has been taped (handshake) and hasn't been cleared and/or finished generating money.
    I proved myself over and over again with facts proven true twice by me and once by the other guy who was arguing with me
    You can only get one tap per building PERIOD per generation of money
    You tap once in your town then it regenerates.
    Your friend taps and it is untapable till you clear handshake and the building regenerates.

    You tell me what in bold face is not a fact that I keep repeating as fact, to your showing nothing as fact.

    As far as I can understand your bolded statements, they seem correct (if unclear and confusingly worded). Where you're wrong is in the unbolded part:
    AARONRTD wrote:

    NO. Just no. This is not right. If you collect the dollar sign, your friend cannot tap it after. Not until the timer runs all the way through again. You are literally the only person on the whole forum who thinks this. The other guy wasn't convinced by your arguments, he got bored because you're not listening to what we're saying.

    If you can find another person to agree with you, I will break a monocle in shock.

    Anyway, I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you should be wondering, "Hmm, if I'm right, why doesn't any one else on the whole forum agree with me?" It's worth contemplating.

    PS. I'm glad the cake was good. It looked delicious.

    Yea I tested exactly what what Aaron did and I can confirm that the only way a friend can tap a building right after it's been cleared is if you speed it up with donuts (which I didn't do) or if they tapped it a long time ago and the timer has like an a hour left (just an example)

    So that's the only thing wrong! I proved it right I guess to myself because you clearly don't want to listen.
    I visited myself as a friend looked, back to friend friend screen, visited, back, and visited. My results were immediate I didn't have to wait wait for servers to catch up.
    Now like I said before I taped my building and visited and was able to tap the same building that you keep saying I can't.
    It's not server lag, because it takes my slow phone along time to go back and fourth when visiting my main town.

    Well, to me it sounds like you've got a glitch that no one else seems to have.

    I'm sorry but if you have tapped a house or building, then your friend can't handshake it for you. It's just not possible. If this seems to work for you, then you have a pretty awesome glitch, of which you should be very grateful,but the rest of us, do not have this facility and in the last 12 months of playing this game, I have never had this facility.

    Ok so here it is I did it in reverse main town on iPad4 visiting small town on iPhone4 for faster results, and saw the same thing but this time I went back and fourth 3 times to see if it changed (and a hell of a lot faster, don't know if that made a difference).
    Result you can tap in a friends town after he taps his building-if you were in the town before he tapped it (what you see you can tap even if that person is tapping it before you)- or if you got there within a few seconds.
    So if it takes you 1-5 min to load town do you load 1-5 min old data? I can't answer that.
    But you can't tap after that perfect timing and have to wait till it regenerates.

    So I'm done I'm going tap all my buildings throught the day and visit my friends towns and tap on the few buildings left or check back after a few minuts, I'm not in a hurry after all buildings do regenerate quickly.
    Hey being half right about something better then nothing.

    Yea I don't know how long after you tap it becomes available to tap. But there is a waiting period and I didn't wait around to see if you had to wait for it to finish completly.

    I know your friends reset it because when I cleared my friends handshake over my Krustyburger it had 4 mins left on the timer

    I just did KB and had to wait the whole 14-15 min.
    Yea I know the original design was tap on a friends building, people? And you can cut that time- in half? If it was immediately of after some time I never new or paid attention. Then came stackable handshakes, and removed so who knows wats going on.
    Btw if your meant to speed up your task by having friends tap it, how can your friend speed it up if you don't tap it.
    Think this feature has been removed or is glitchy at best.

    This is not an exclusively online game. Each Springfield exists on the devices as well as the server. As you play on your device, progress is periodically saved to the server. The Springfield that you see on your device is not the same as the Springfield your visitor sees until everything syncs. I would expect this sort of thing to happen.

    The multiple towns also explains why people playing on a second device often get a warning that the first device didn't save.
