Shout Out! And the July Finalists Are….

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well June has come and gone (and we’re a little into July now!) and that means it’s about that time to pick our Tapper of the Month!  Our cross blog monthly contest to find the Tapper of the month between TSTO Topix, TSTO game and TSTO Addicts has been set up because we want to feature YOU!   Your town, your words anything/everything about YOU!  Each month we’ll pick a handful of readers across the three blogs to be featured in our Monthly Shout Out, where we’ll feature your town and some fun information about you.  Then at the end of the Shout Out we’ll let the TSTO Community vote for their favorite.  That winner will be declared our Tapper of the Month! This has been a fun process for Topix, game and Addicts!

We’ve enjoyed getting to know each of you through your submissions and we really loved seeing your creative work on display!  We received many submissions for the July Tapper of the month and had a tough decision to narrow it down to just 5, but we did it!  The writing staff of all THREE blogs came together and collectively agreed that all 5 of the finalists were Tapper of the Month material! So check out the top 5 and be sure to vote for your favorite!  Remember the Tapper you choose could be the Tapper of the Month and be featured on Topix, game and Addicts for the month of July AND win a $10 gift card!  So choose wisely!

Now with out further ado the finalists are…… In no particular order

Here’s some more info about Vlisserman:
“Hello tappers of TSTO-addicts.com!
Holland here! (so excuse my english please 😉 ) I love reading your blog, it’s been very helpfull so far and an inspiration to keep on tapping.
Today I finaly did it: I stitched my town for you guys to enjoy!
A few things i did I want to point out for extra inspiration:
– The skating ring / olympic area
– Woodlands with a few bungalows for rent
– Squidport is an actual port with docks for my boats
– Downtown is always growing, slowly pushing my houses to the side but making it a real shopping centre!
– Wax museum became a real statue museum including some ice sculptures (looks better in the winter)
I added my Krustyland too. Love my Valentine area and haunted house.

aayars04 and her TSTO Town!
Here’s more about aayars04:
“Hi Addicts!
My name is Amanda and my origin ID is aayars04. I’m 26 and from a small town in New Jersey. I’m married and have a 1 1/2 year old son. I enjoy reading, the outdoors, spending time with my family, and of course TSTO! I’ve been playing TSTO for a little over a year now. I love TSTO, it’s just such an awesome game!  It started out as just a game to pass the time, but it soon turned into an addiction! I enjoy getting new buildings, decorations, etc and always take a lot of thought as to where I want to place everything. I also like how each level update brings new things-quests, buildings, characters. And the holiday updates are always fun too! Also, playing this game is a HUGE stress reliever (lol); it’s nice to come home from a stressful day at work and just escape into my Springfield! I also enjoy all the information and advice here on TSTO Addicts blog, you’ve definitely helped create an addict in me, haha! I find myself checking out the posts regularly to get some ideas or to see what’s worth spending my precious donuts on. So thanks for having such a great blog! I hope you all enjoy my town! It’s been such a blast designing it and I’m proud of how far it’s come!

Thanks for the opportunity to show my town off a little! Take care,
aayars04″

CXonor13 and his Springfield!
Here’s a little more about CXonor13:
“Hello! I am CXonor13 (Conor) and I am from Co. Louth, Ireland.
I started playing The Simpsons: Tapped Out in January of 2014 and I have been hooked to the game ever since then! My absolute favorite aspect of the game is the designing aspect, I always love making faux 3D designs and re-creating some of my favorite scenes from the show. 
I also love seeing some of my favorite characters walking around my Springfield and tapping through the great questlines! (Still waiting for Cookie Kwan and Lindsay Naegle though lol! 😛 )
Here are just a few screenshots of my Springfield! Sorry I cannot provide a panoramic view, I am absolutely clueless at that lol!”
