Not spending anything on this one, don't drink their Kool-Aid this time and remember that they will change what happens and drop random characters we can buy.

Really not digging these leaderboard prizes. Really, only 100 players will get the gold house skin? So do you win all the other prizes? Since it's confusing as #4 is a character, so only 10000 people will get that one. A skin for Stewie in which only 50000 people will get. This system sucks. Why not community prizes? This will really show how many people really spend their cash on this game. I imagine this event will turn the freemiums off the game (or somehow convert to premiums), and will likely tell the premiums thanks for spending your cash, can't wait to see you next event! This will also give us an estimate as to how big the player community is. I wonder if the player base isn't that big, then the majority might get to #4 and get Don Corleone? The last 3 prizes seem to me to be just for bragging rights; a spending contest to see who has the biggest wallet. |

My god these guys at TinyCo are dicks. Now NONE of the Star Trek characters and skins earn anything. Why piss off your entire player base and include them just to take it away an hour later? Probably something to do with the leaderboards I bet. Those that have all the characters would be a higher advantage? Especially those with all 7 or 8 premium ones from Star Trek. That's money made, they need to insure to entice those same players to buy the new premium stuff. In my books, this change is strike 1. Hit 3 and it's time to uninstall. Really pissed how hard those crystals were in Star Trek, was hoping this was more like Halloween or Christmas where characters had 24s to earn currency. Seems the hats and cookies are going to be a grind now. |

Make sure you are hiring Goons when you can. it's like the firemen, but you make additional currency. Takes 15 cookies to create, you get 25 for the reward. So you net 10 per Goon (max at 3 at a time) plus the hats you earn with it.

Seems it was patched. Riker didn't drop anything now. I don't see it in the rewards for all the others either. I'm guessing it was a typical TinyCo "oops" because the FAQ was all Star Trek info when it first launched. |

Between big spenders, regular spenders, and freemiums. I'm guessing there will be a clearly defined line between the last two, for sure. |

I'm taking a month off from playing events in both this game and Tapped Out; getting ready to move and going on vacation. Enjoy! I'll check in once in awhile.  |

Got the RV and you can hire 5 more 6 total, the next one costs 1,000 cookies. Update You can have 6max (5 queued for now), so that means you can set up 3hrs of wait time. To make more you have to use them, if you can't you'll have to wait. I don't know how the second trailer is going to work. |

It will almost certainly not be for coin so they might have it for clams. Or cookies and then load the box with repeating useless crap. |

It's not that I want to see you take a month off. I'm just happy for you that you're going on vacation. Moving may be another story. Last time we moved it was such a PITA that I swear I'm not doing it again until I can afford to buy all new stuff and leave everything else right where it's currently sitting. |

2 more wingtip shoes and the fat father is unlocked.
Yeah after I hit the first personal prize, used that to buy the building and RV. Now queuing up 6 which is great. Almost to 10 clams now as well. Love how 4 of the first 5 prizes is currency. The clams are always good, but the cookie prizes are mostly pointless. Will need to look up if any additional characters earn stuff as most are in storage.

They had stolen 235 clams from me (down to 100). I messaged back and got 125 (in addition to reimbursing the 335 clams) for my troubles. so they obviously scanned for hackers before the event started. Seems it should be fair, unless people re hack after getting that message. |
