Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

A little update just hit our games…Springfield Cleaning

I’ll be back with more in a bit, but for now know that Homer starts things off and you’ll get a 6s task for Marge and 5 Springfielders. Followed by a 6hr task for 5 Springfielders. Once you start the 6hr tasks (ie send your first character on it) Gil will popup with a new offer. He’s back with rebate donut deals! Some new items and old returning. I’ll break them all down in a bit..

More details below the fold…

So we’ve seen these types of deals from Gil before. Black Friday comes to mind. But even last year he had a Yard Sale/Back to School Sale. So we should know the drill by now.

You’ve got to pay full price for the item & then you’ll be rebated back the donuts. So they’re discounted, but not up front. And then some items will disappear after a day or so. While others won’t unlock until a day or so passes. The entire Gil Promo will end on the 19th, with various items leaving on different days between now and the 19th. So make your choices wisely..and quickly.

So here’s what Ol’ Gil has to say about the deal…

Gil: How would you like a house with no skeletons in its closets? Just in the drywall itself.
Moe: Wow! That house has my name on it! No, I was wrong. Someone spray-painted “MOVE!” on the wall, not “MOE!”
Gil: Yeah, it’s a fixer upper…meaning you’ll have to fix it to get it to stay up.

And if you refuse it…

Gil: Fine! Gil doesn’t need you. Gil doesn’t need anyone. All Gil needs is Gil. And lots of other people. And you. Gil desperately needs you. We’re good, right?

And you can always go back to the deal at any time via your menu…just tap on everyone’s favorite salesman..

And here’s a quick look at what he’s offering…

Some of it is unlocked right now…others won’t unlock for a few days…

Ok so let’s break it down further…

Available for the WHOLE Event…

Nature Pack- Available until April 19th..100 Donuts. Includes Springfield Greenhouse, 5 Apple Trees, Butterfly Tent, Cherub Bird Bath, Kang Topiary, Kodos Topiary, 5 Orange Trees, 10 Rose Bushes & 1 Tree Swing. That’s a lot of bonus % available for that. (Apple and Orange Trees offer .50% bonus each (so that 5% right there), Kang and Kodos Topiary offer .50% (so another 1%). And the Tree Swing also offers a .50% bonus…I have to check on the Butterfly Tent, it is premium but I don’t know off hand if/what a bonus % would be. But it’s at least 6.5% with that bundle…for those that saw what was posted eariler, forgive my stupid math.)

Available until April 17th…

Moe’s House- 110 Donuts, with a 40 Donut Rebate. So a net cost of 70 Donuts. (yes, i’ll be doing a should i buy on this…and yes it’ll include what it does and if there are tasks there…). Earns $135, 15xp/4hrs.

Wave 1…Available until April 15th 0800 GMT..

Pricing below is what I see in the files, I’m publishing it so you guys can anticipate what’s ahead. However, I don’t guarantee the information. EA has the right (and has been known) to change prices. So use it as a guide, but don’t yell at me if it’s not correct when they unlock

Street Cleaner- This is a new item. 90 Donuts, with a 35 Donut rebate. So a net cost of 55 Donuts. I think this is going to be treated like a character. So no bonus % awarded with it. There are files that indicate it’ll have animation when tapped..and it’ll move around your town, “walk”, like NPC do. Should be interesting… (yes, a Should I Buy will be posted once it’s released and I can see what it actually does)
