Heya Superfriends!
Wookiee back with another meeting of TSTO Anonymous for all my fellow addicted superheroes, vigilantes, caped crusaders and supervillains. Usually during an event, right around this time, I see lots of disgruntled comments but it seems like this event is uber popular (as it should be to Geeks like me). Without the normal need for a cup of sunshine to drive away the proverbial Kryptonite dragging you down, I figured we’d have a more upbeat meeting this time. Maybe a little humor, some insight or maybe just some rambling by yours truly. Who knows? I’ll just welcome you to the meeting and see where it goes. Make sure you find the right room.
Oh good… you made it! So, while I was trying to think of a good topic for today, I tapped away in my town. Dang I love bonking those criminals on the head. Whether in skull caps or rainbow clown fros, it’s just very satisfying. Oh wait, I accidently tried to smoosh President Lincoln. Sorry Abe… nothing personal. I know you’re not wearing a kaleidoscopic wig but your black presidential garb does look strikingly like a criminal when I’m being unobservant. Yes I appreciate your accomplishments during the U.S. civil war… what do you mean I’m an ignorant walking carpet? Jeesh… why can’t Mr. Honesty in a Hawaiian shirt just accept my apology?
And then inspiration hit me… forgiveness. Isn’t that one of the 12 steps of this program? I double checked the very first post ever for TSTO Anon and lo and behold it is. Step Nine: (FORGIVENESS) Made direct amends to such characters wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or just not make any sense.
Well, Elton John may have sang that “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word” but I’m going to give it my best shot. Since it’s always a good idea to start your apologies with the women in your life… here I go…
Miss Booberella… I am so sorry for mistaking your beautiful vampiric form for a criminal. There are so many reasons I’d beg you to forget my tapping but for now I’ll only give two, errr… I mean three. I love you.
Marjorie… my sweet. I know your Homer’s sweetie but when you dress up in all black and Elphaba’s make-up, I’m quite certain the sky finger can’t help but hit on you. I’m so sorry dear and beautiful Witch Marge. I will endeavor to be more diligent in the future.
Yo yo yo padre. I couldn’t help seeing your sweet rapping skills and giving you a high five with my finger. Just an FYI… if you ride your sweet motorbike more often, I might try to squish you less. Both me and you have a thing for your man Jebus so hopefully we can let bygones be bygones.
Don Vittorio. As Vito said to Don Corleone, “”I knew that Santino was going to have to go through all this. And Fredo – well… Fredo was well… But I never… I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I don’t apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused – to be a fool – dancing on the string, held by all those bigshots. I don’t apologize, that’s my life ,but I thought that when it was your time that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone. Governor – Corleone, or something…”
Hopefully that clears up this confusion and we can fuhgedaboutit. Please pass on my condolences to Legs and Louie as well. A tap or two may have mistakenly gone astray towards those goodfellas also.
Don’t judge me to harshly Judge Snyder. A tap or two among friends is nice right? You know I’m the fuzzball who loves to help you keep in shape and go on those 24-hour vacays. I seriously dig your casting skills. Nice brown pants btw. Hopefully the “clown is down” for this forgiveness arraignment.
Sorry to say Frenchie but I’m really not to sorry. Your country’s revolution and Napoleonic warlord have been cloggin my brain at present courtesy of an upcoming midterm and it’s left me none too cheerful. Also, your clumsy antics do sometimes look like the criminals tippy toeing in town. Sorry for ocassionally giving you a friendly little jab. I’d apologize more I suppose if I didn’t know it’s pronounced Chowdah!
Mr. President. Unlike the aforementioned Napoleon, you were a great General who after being appointed leader of a free nation, stepped down to live out your days. You didn’t want to be king. No, you were more than willing to live out your days chopping down cherry trees and hunting for Hans Sprungfeld in my town for the rest of your days. I am deeply sorry for mistakenly tapping you. Out of this whole slew of characters, you are the least crimnalistic of the lot. My apologies and kudos for being you. You’re a real American hero. Thanks for being the cool G Dub.
And last but not least… ol’ Honest Abe…
You know, you ARE one of my favorite U.S. Presidents but I’m still smarting over that walking carpet remark. What do you mean the voices I’ve been hearing are all in my head? That’s it, it’s time for a long period of manual labor in Wookieetown. No more Hawaiian shirt relaxation for you to save you from being smacked by the almighty Hand of Justice. I’m sure I’ll forgive YOU later.
It’s kinda funny to me that this list of characters for the most part could all be considered criminals just like the banditos we’ve been clearing in our towns. A seductive late-nigh horror hostess, a witch, a priest, the mafia, a judge, a French waiter and two presidents. You think EA is trying to say something. I’d say the connotation comes from the color black but Johnny Cash is no criminal and he’s the Man in Black.
Anywho… I’d love to hear your thoughts about my randomness. Got any characters you should apologize to? It doesn’t have to be just for resembling criminals. I could probably write even more for all those one-finger push-ups I’ve made Willy do, etc.
We could also address real apologies if you like. I am sorry I haven’t been around this site as much because of school, etc. I am sorry EA wasn’t able to please everyone with the content of the event but I’m not sorry for what I think is an amazing round of content this go around. Sure the collecting for the Collector buildings is a skoshi slow but in the midst of everything else, I am super stoked for this goodness. Besides, those buildings aren’t even the best things from it. I guess I could also find my loved ones I’ve neglected with blogging, studying and work and let them know I apologize for Time. Well. Spent. but the best part of love is never having to say you’re sorry. Well that and doing your best to really not mess up lol.
While I don’t think it’s necessary to bust out your rolodex and start apologizing to everyone you’ve ever harmed, it couldn’t hurt to apologize to someone, pixellated or not. In Stephen King’s Carrie, he wrote that “sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emtoions.” I guess in this case it’s good to drink the Kool-Aid? If nothing else, you could use this ramble as an excuse to bust out that dusty Hasbro board game in your closet. You know… the one that wasn’t made into a movie.
What do y’all think? Sound off below with your thoughts or just to let me know I’m crazy. I assure you I know but the reinforcement never hurts. I hope y’all are enjoying the superhero event as much as I am. Like always, we end this meeting with the TSTO Anonymous Serenity Prayer:
“EA, grant me the serenity to accept the updates I cannot change, the courage to recommend the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Stay classy, much love and TTFN… Wookiee out!
“You’re crazy.” is what I was waiting for someone to post, nobody did.
I’ll say it.
You. Are. Crazy.
Worst. Comment Section Replies. Ever.
Now that I think about it.
So am I.
After reading this post,
I got out “Sorry!” and did 4 games.
Sorry!
Now, somebody please reply,
“Worst. Apology. Ever.”
or something else like that.
Overall,
somebody reply and call me crazy.
P.S.
Unknown0001:),
Unknown0002:(,
and me, Unknown0003:l,
are all the same person.
Put that together, add I’m a freemium player, and you now know what type of TSTO player I am and a bit of who I truly am.
p.s WE can see who you are, and all your comments since you started commenting here… so WE know it’s you. 😉
Worst appoligy ever! And dido for the excuses below ……
that said……Im sorry.
Bahhhhhhhahaha
I’m sorry Legs and Louie. At first I thought you were Feds during Christmas, hopefully I didn’t point the Feds in your direction.
Now I think you are criminals.
Please don’t interigate me. I can’t swim.
I’m also sorry for you, Disco Stu.
After I kept accidentally tapping Skinner thinking he was a criminal, I decided to look for anything with a ‘fro.
I know you don’t have a rainbow wig nor dark clothes and I am sorry for it.
I am also sorry for you, Moe.
The only bush I have in my town is the burning bush. Wait! This is your fault, Moe, not mine! You keep going to that burning bush.
Last, but not least, I am sorry all of you friendship prizes. I don’t have any friends, so all I have is Other Springfield. I will get to you all one day.
Why no friends? You are missing out. 😉
I’m a loner.
Plus, I don’t see the point of adding them. The only thing I heard of that seems interesting is Cool Lisa.
I’m also a loner in real life.
Well… you are HERE. With the rest of us nutty Addict in the Addicts Insane Asylum, so you are no longer alone. 😉
Benefits of Friends? Once FP hits MAX, chance for Free Donuts is a plus. And now with new prizes… Canyonero!! Woohoo! 😉
And once you add them, they are just there like “Other Springfield” — you don’t have to talk to them…. In fact, you can’t talk to them in the game.
Friends are critical to getting the best prizes during events!
Dang…. walked in the wrong room. Sorry folks.
*stage whisper* I think it was the right room — I thought I heard a “better them than me” from inside that bundled coat….
Wookie, i do believe you covered practically all the characters LOL!
I would just like to add and say i am sincerely sorry to my IPhone, which has constantly been abused over the last 3 years ( thank you Springfield ) thru my constant beating on its screen with my thumbs and fingers! It’s truly amazing you have not cracked your screen with all the continuous tapping i have put you thru! I swear i am not a sadomasochist but my love of the Simpsons makes me do this! Nothing personal, my sweet IPhone!
hi can someone help me i am supposed to tap on homer 10 times and not sure how this works love the game thanks

Just ignore the task pop up telling how much time he has left when you first tap him. Leave it open. Just keep tapping him.
This probably isnt the right place to post, but I just collected 4000 pie bombs for a chance at donuts, right? Only this time I got to the 4000th one by tapping buildings in friends’ towns. After returning to my Springfield and tapping on and collecting the 2 donuts box, the bonus donut window popped up again and I earned 3 more.
Did I get lucky or has anybody else experienced this glitch? It wasnt from maxing out the level bar, I’m still only half way to the future level 51….
We never report good glitches. 😉
Same thing happened to me!
I’m sorry to Mother Duck, her ducklings, and the frog, for all the times I’ve accidentally sent Shauna and Jimbo on those terrible tasks.
Haa! I love this post. There have been many times when I’ve been in a neighbors town and I’m like Why. Won’t. You. Pop?! Because it’s not a criminal. Oopsie. The Zenith City unlocks are agonizingly slow but I have to say, as a freemium player, I’m earning sprinkles like a mofo! Usually I only get to the bonus part of earning a spin for doughnuts once, maybe twice per event, but so far I’ve earned over twenty doughnuts, averaging a spin about every day/ day and a half. Woo hoo! Mama’s got her eye on a couple things so keep ’em coming. Thank you Bunny for the spin trick!
Please tell me, what is the Bunny trick everyone’s talking about? I’m close to the first 4000 bonus pies and would love to earn those donuts!
you can find details here

I’m sorry, Ralph, for all of the yellow snow I made you eat when Janey was earning extra $$ on the Moon Bounce. It was the only 4-hour task option I was left with for you.
I’m sorry, Stampy, for keeping you cooped up in the Simpsons House all the time. But I guess it’s better than sending you to live at Discount Lion Safari…
I’m sorry to all of the alcoholic characters (you know who you are) for constantly enabling your addictions. (At least I’m frequently sending Mrs. Hilbert to AA meetings…).
On a separate note, how cool would it be if all of the criminals in real life wore rainbow afro wigs, all black clothes, and tiptoed around town like that? It would make it SO much easier for the police to spot them (unless the IRL police were like Wiggum) and for citizens to avoid encounters with them (even if they are stealthy, with all that tiptoeing).
I’m a touch embarrassed by how much that rant struck true to my life.
Sorry for asking this question, but I not sure what the answer is.
What is the maximum number of friends/neighboureenos you can have (including Other Springfield)? I thought it was 100 in total (at least through Origin–i don’t have fb conected to my game), but looks like I had more. I just unfriended at least a couple of people who had not played for a few weeks; yet, it looks like I’m still at 99 friends?
sry
*…I’m * not sure what or where answer is. “
Only 100 Origin. Other does not count. Facebook does not count.
If you are trying to add more… check for Pending requests. Sent by you and sent to you. Those tend to add as a “friend” while they sit and wait.

RE: Stole my burrito & Toadman.
I was away from my device less than an hour and came back to find a force update prompt as well. I started it before checking here and no new dialogues started, as well as no new items.
But I seem to have less clown criminals tip-toeing about.
Just imagine Kook-Aid being splashed over Carrie, rather than … that other stuff.
Wookiee-
The only thing that might possibly be any better than this event and update is this post.
All addicts reading this site need to start a non-sarcastic, legitimate slow-clap for this one.
Well done, good sir!!
Do I need “friends” in order to win prizes for the Collector? My only friends have stopped playing, so I no longer have the ability to click on their buildings. I’ve tapped about 50 criminals since unlocking the Collector and only have two knife sets to show for it. At this rate, it would take years to collect enough parts to build anything.
Friends will be a HUGE part of events. So keep what you have and add more… or remove what you have and still add more. Otherwise your potential to earn Pie Bombs and needed items will be very slim.

Did anyone else just get an IOS update but I can’t see if anything changed?
I can’t check it right now (my iOS device is at home) but most likely it’s just a bug/glitch fix
I’m sorry to Janey. Maybe when you get older and a little taller you won’t look so much to me like a slouching, slinking criminal.
Also sorry to Legs and Louie; but in my defense you are criminals, just not the ones I meant to tap. I know this is a back handed apology and I’m sorry for that too.
I’m sorry, Sideshow Bob, for thinking that you are a criminal and that I should tap you for event currency. Er, wait, you are a criminal. Hey, EA, what gives?
My game is forcing me to update to the Super hero event, but I already did when the event started. I’m afraid to update again. I have a bad feeling. Anyone else get the prompt to update?
Are you on iOS? Apparently iOS got an update…personally my iPod is at home so I can’t double check it.
I am on iOS. I’m going to put off updating for a bit until there’s more info. Thanks Alissa.
An update hit Android and iOS last two days. Mainly just a patch. Essentially the ONLY noticeable thing you will see is that the game now “saves” your spot. For instance if you were in the middle of a questline and got kicked out, you would normally come back in and have to start the dialog all over. Now, it comes right up to where you last left off.
It is a cool feature, seems to be working so far. The rest… just simple fixes.
Hello-my name is Steve and I’m a TSTO addict…I’m an almost hourly tapper and very OCD when removing crooks from my town…I’m not sure if being this compulsive is ruining my neighbor visits..not that I will stop, but if I am clearing all the crooks-does it make it harder for neighbors to get their share of crooks?
And btw possibly the best.event.ever…my only gripe is I wish tapping crooks dropped more stuff for zenith city -the marginal benefit of crystals for upgrading “tap radius” and squad building is meh, IMHO
What you see and what a neighbor sees when they visit are separate. So no worries. Tap Away.
Great post. I have definitely been guilty of tapping everyone mentioned above. I too am very sorry. Judge Snyder, I think we need some pardons.
I’m sorry that i can’t battle enough felons to get these much needed handcuffs. I’m sorry for the neighbors that are not playing the game, so please accept my sooooooooooo sorry to delet you from my friends list. Sorry for tapping legs at three in the morning because I can’t see straight thinking he’s a criminal. But wait legs is a thug that works for fat tony. So maybe you deserve a tapp every now and then. Sorry that I have to wait for issue three to begin. Soooooooo ready to move on.
I was so happy with this event when they fixed the dine at the rotating restaurant tasks for skinner and selma and had them finally put in proper order. Now with the new level they have the seriously gossip task for all the investorettes out of order. It makes it kind of frustrating when you’re in a hurry trying to send all your characters on the same length tasks and you get to those certain ones and you have to scroll down to find the task you’re looking for or if you’re not paying attention you send them on the wrong one
To Character: Principal Skinner:
Sorry Principal Skinner for accidentally tapping you at least 10 times now.
I know you don’t have a giant clown wig, but I accidentally tapped you thinking you were a criminal.
To the Rest of You Guys:
Hello fellow addicts!
Here’s something funny;
Me: (taps on Skinner thinking he’s a criminal)
Skinner: I’m writing ALL of your names on the detention list in my mind.
Me: No! I don’t want detention!
Guy Next to Me On the Bus:
(gives me a weird look because I’m talking to an animated character on my iPad.
(true story);
Question to Other Addicts #29:
Should I save up to craft the
Zenith City Loft or Zenith City Store Front?
Whichever you like best!
Zenith City Loft it is!
I’m the first to get bored of events and not try because the prizes went worth getting. So I apologize to EA for doubting this event. I like it (all except the ZC buildings) and I am thoroughly entertained.
Wookiee, someone else you should apologize to is Han Solo, for not checking out his engine before he took off. 😉
Thank the Force he’s still with us!
Losing one Sci-Fi icon in a week is more than enough.
Haha! 😀
I’m sorry Legs and Louie, Puritan Flanders, and even Skinner! Sorry for my hasty judgements and smacking over your head!
Issue 1 one was a bad time for any dark dressed, slim character …
Um… I mistake Arnie Pye for a criminal on a regular basis when he’s doing his 24hr Investigative Report. (Also Legs and Louie, but you already mentioned them.)
Hah. Excellent post which echoed many thoughts on my mind.
Add to that the fact that I just unlocked “Cool Lisa” and now I’m waiting for a chance to send Bart on that part of her quest and I’ve got entirely too much for him to do.
As a plus, I noticed that for one of Helen Lovejoy’s tasks, you can simply send Milhouse twice. (I’m being vague to avoid spoilers for anyone). That actually makes me feel better about it.
