    I am on 28000, so if they extended it a week I could make it. As I go to school I can only usually get 2 of the 4 tasks done during the week (max 3) so haven't got there. Shame that the 1 event you have to login often wasn't in the holidays.

    Dear EA
    We are several players from Denmark and we wish for an extension due to difficulties in completing no 1 's tasks in time. When time reset it's 0200 hrs and since we also have a workplace where we cannot play it's been difficult to complete in time. I've been playing for almost 2 years and this is the first time it's been hard to earn enough points to win prizes. Especially since you cannot send the characters to a job where they can earn emblems instead of money. Also why can't you earn emblems in friends town in same amount as when dealing with friends point. It's way to little you earn when visiting (not money)
    Hope for extension - we are all around 22-24000
    Thanx ?

    It's been said before but I think it bears repeating: the people who are actively posting on this forum probably also represent the subset of people who play this game most actively. A quick pass-through shows that about half of my neighbors haven't reached 35,000 emblems yet. Many of them are very close (33,000 or more), most of them have been visiting me relatively regularly, and they've all had things available to spy on whenever I've gone into their towns. Not everyone has (or wants to have) as much time to dedicate to events as we the obsessed do. :)

    Denmark is the only place to get a late start time, and the only place to have a job? That's not meant as rude as it sounds, yet the situation is very similar the world over. If I didn't finish, like many events before, I'd be ok with it. I can't have everything.

    I'd personally like to end the event. I did actually loose sleep over it, so much as occasionally setting my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night. I was luck to have that kind of time during this event. It's time to move on, however.

    Even though I earned all the prizes about 2 weeks ago I sympathize with your situation. I guess I was lucky in that the tasks reset at midnight for me and because I rarely get more than 5-6 hours of sleep a night I could get the first task started before going to bed most nights. I've only missed the 4th #1 task 3 times during the entire event and that actually happened on weekends when I slept in late :)

    I was on the fence before since having a way to earn more donuts is always a plus.. For you and others in your situation I vote to extend it. If I were in your shoes I would be asking for the same thing. Good Luck!

    I have yet to complete an event. It's not a huge deal for me, I guess. I was on vacation in Japan when Stonecutters started and half of my friends list removed me for being inactive (SORRY I WAS IN JAPAN, FRIENDS) so when I got back stateside I played hardcore and still, I'm probably going to just barely make it to the table, if I hustle. That being said, I'm ready for new content!

    If this event ends on time I will be about 20 emblems short of collecting all the prizes :(

    I just dumped about 30 friends who never even updated to the event and only have about 10 friends (out of over 50) who visit daily. I could totally use an extra day or two :oops:

    I played everyday but I don't have the stone of shame yet, the number 1 tasks must have been critical...

    I'm at 30800 so pretty close to 35000 IF they decide to extend the event, I was gone for a week but still played when I could but the internet I had the hotel I was staying was slow so playing tapped out was dreadful, so I did suffer a little bit and honestly if I wasn't gone for the week I would have the 35000+ but I understand everyone's position as well and agree that a extension wouldn't hurt anybody as it would benefit those who haven't gotten the prizes a chance and those who have already completed the event extra donuts.

    I have a little bit over 1000 left that I need. Most events end up lasting longer than they say they will, I'm surprised they gave an exact date for that reason. I only need about one more day, but I'm in the process of today's tasks from number one so I might make it there. I have 60 donuts left also, as long as they don't end it early, I may just rush it once i get to the 60 donut mark. Doing the hourly tasks did get somewhat difficult with having an 8 hour work day, but I was able to get pretty close while still having a life ha. Good luck at finishing to everyone who's super close like I am! Fingers crossed!

    Considering it was 1000 a day - that made up the meat of the event. Neighbor's visiting you was #2, and clearing them in a timely manner. Finally was the quest line and parchment puzzles - those had bonus amounts.

    The robed men were basically pointless, visiting friends was mostly pointless for yourself, but you needed daily visitors - so it was best visit them all so they would all visit you. If friends weren't visiting you, it was time to get new friends.

    I think it was like a little over 1000 a day to complete the event, and #1's tasks provided exactly that.

    Really hope they extend it by another week.

    Just throw in a small 4th of July update or a new level for those that have already finished it to keep them happy and give them something to do.

    I have 32,723. Since my name starts with L I get less visitors than others. I missed out on several of the 6 hr task days and I've visited everyone daily. My overall level and friend level are maxed out with kbbl. 5 star Springfield and krustyland. Not fair that I have just over 2,000 emblems to go. I need 2 more days. I hope they don't force the update and I can continue doing #1s tasks until I get the anvil. They should've let you get at least 120 from visiting neighbors. I visit and don't get anything in return. Maybe 10-15 visits per day when I see others that have every building spied on! If anyone hasn't gotten the 10 donuts by tapping on homer while he's sitting on the table do it now.

    I'm going to have to delete everyone and get only loyal neighbors! Some of them don't even have the stonecutters update.

    I don't care if they extend it or not, as I don't mind a little more time to gather donuts. But I can't believe these "I couldn't play because I had to work" comments. Seems kind of immature to me. That's the thing about work...it doesn't always leave you time to play games, and that's how it goes.

    I'm ready for it to end. One of my favorite events thus far but I've been finished for like a week now. I'm over it.

    I find that TSTO events always last way too long for my liking. Extending events is just torturous.

    Thank you!
    I have to agree!

    I've got everything but if a lot people need a few more days I am all for it.

    A lot of the emblems I tried to collect from neighbors never got counted because of crashes. I have since fixed the crashes, but I believe I would be able to finish in time if those missing emblems had been collected properly. So, a small extension would help. I would hate that I missed the last prize because of the crashes.
