Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Can you believe it’s almost our 3 Year Anniversary?! Yea, we can’t either! We’ve been blogging here at TSTO Addicts for nearly 3 years! How crazy is that?! On Sunday August 14th we will be celebrating 3 Years since we starting bringing you Tapped Out Coverage! Wow does time fly!
So…on that note, just as we’ve done for every Blogiversary in the past…we figured let’s get to know more about YOU! (this is a feature we know a lot of you love)
Yes that’s right…we want to know more about our AMAZING Community of Tappers we have here at TSTO Addicts so we’ve put together another little poll ….the results of which we’ll share in the coming days! So we hope that you’ll take a minute to answer the poll questions so we can learn more about you, and you can learn more about each other!
Oh and don’t forget to ask your questions to us to learn more about Bunny, Wookiee and I!
If you’re having trouble using the form above, here’s the direct link:
Addicts 3 Year Blogiversary Poll
Thanks for being a part of the AWESOME Community here at TSTO Addicts & for taking the time to participate in our poll! You guys seriously rock!! 🙂
Have you participate in any of our last polls? (6 months, 1 year, 2 years) What do you think the results will show this time? How long have you been a part of Addicts? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you! 🙂
Me 50 please? (Or do I really want to know, lol)
Woohoo !
TSTO has come a long way for me since March 2013 (3.5 years)!
Thank you TSTO Addicts (everybody) for making the game app experience so awesome! 🙂
Happy 3 year blogiversary! I’ve only been playing since the middle of 2015 Superheroes, and addicted since! Going through the poll reminds me how far anyone can get premium characters/combos while playing freemium 🙂 Thank you for being a great resource from the beginning!
Hold Everything! !
Am I the only one who spotted, ……the poll is just a distraction,
No mention of the blogiversary video? ? ?
We the people, demand our blogiversary video !
Who’s with me?
😃 🇬🇧
Not just a video, I want a parade, and fireworks and, and… what the heck let’s just make the site’s anniversary a statutory holiday 🙂
A tapper in the oven? How could you?! 😉
ikr that just sounds wrong lol
What’s a Poké-master?
Maybe a chef who has mastered the art of making delicious Poke?
I think it’s someone who uses Facebook and poke’s their friends a lot. I’m not on Facebook or any social media, but I have heard the expression poke Facebook friends before.
Surely it is someone who has lots of very strong Poké-mon…
😄😄😄
Someone who has perfected the art of poking. My grandmother recently held that title, may she rest in peace.
Hello rappers! Thanks so much to admins of this site for sharing amazing information over the years . I’ve been playing the game since September 2015. and been obsessed with it ever since. Can’t say what’s my favourite character/building (premium) because I’m a freemium player, and so far my only premium characters are Moleman , Bumblebee man, Blue haired lawyer, Squeky teen, Kearney, and perhaps some other I accidentally got via mistery box. My premium buildings include She & she lounge, which I purchased because Helen Lovejoy has a thing for it 😂 i also got Apu a month ago,that skin we got for 4th of July.
In my opinion nothing introduced to the game cant be my most or least fave… Until Superheroes event a month ago. Until then i was entering the game 5-8 times a day, and i couldnt believe myself for thinking its boring. Because it was. Big time. I also hated the fact that im constantly asked for an update thats larger than my phone memory. So i barely played this. Since the minute it got over,i went back in and once again im on my phone 24/7 😂😂😂 Anyway… My favourite event was definitely Halloween 2015. It was my first event,and also im a huge Halloween fan, even though we dont celebrate Halloween here in my country. Christmas was also amazing, its my favourite holiday ever, so seeing it in the game was so special to me. Only thing i didnt like was Superheroes event and i feel guilty for not liking it 😂 Im very sorry i missed Stonecutters event, i adore that episode and will eat myself inside out for not knowing the game exists while it was on.
So, thats it from me. Thank you so much TSTO addicts, and happy tappaversary! 😊
I couldn’t answer many of the questions such as favorite this or that.
Also couldn’t answer which bathroom I use as under the Obama transgender laws, I’m not too sure.
Lol I thought about putting an option in for that…
It’s not at all complicated. If you identify as male, you’d use the men’s room. If you identify as female, you’d use the women’s room. No big deal.
Character / building combo:
Favorite – Barney and Bowlorama
My Springfield just didn’t feel right until Barney was unlocked! Got him on the first rebate deal offered.
Least – Chester and Shed
I don’t want a 1/2 built shed and a fake Fresh Prince of Bel-Air character that has never been on The Simpsons show.
(Both answers were same as last year)
Character:
Favorite – Jimbo
I know SVT is going to win and he is super helpful, but I’m gonna pick Jimbo because of the visual tasks and his character on the show.
Least: Funzos
I never even considered buying those… ever.
Building:
Favorite – Aztec Theater
Looks cool. I wish Bad Dream House was an option because the flashing color lights animation makes it my absolute favorite. I would like to always have it animated.
Least: Stacy’s dream house.
Not really interested in a Barbie dream house knock off lol.
Major Event:
Favorite – Xmas 2014 (I got this mixed up with 2013 on the poll and selected the wrong answer lol. 2013 had the stupid wheel! Ugh.)
Stonecutters was great and will probably win, but it was fun dropping off and receiving presents. Halloween 2013 was very fun too with the gremlins running around and collecting goo. Maybe I should have picked that one..
Least – Easter 2014
Stupid Red and Blue eggs, Easter baskets and Easter mystery boxes! Missed out on Hugs Bunny and Shary Bobbins and still don’t have them.
I prefer the mini events over level updates.
Mini Events:
Favorite – Fire Department
Least – Valentine’s Day
Been reading Addicts since it started. I was reading the other site that closed down before this, and know for sure I was reading before the Halloween event.
Thanks for 3 years of making the game more fun Team Addicts.
I skipped all the least favorites, I don’t have any.
I did too. None of the above should have been an option!
Is there any particular reason why the Pride Month 2015 event is listed under “Least favorite major event” but not under “Most favorite major event”?
Hah, good catch.
Very good point. I also wondered why it wasn’t under mini event as it was short but sweet.
Yeah I noticed that too – I was ready to list it as my favourite!
Sorry to Alyssa, Wookie and bunny if my posts keep repeating, my phone is glitchy, just delete the duplicate lol
Check all that apply… Wife…. girlfriend… Are you sure this is anonymous? 😀
Why not Brazil? I haven’t kept track very well, but looks like at least 2 or 3 Brazilians here, plus the Olympics…..
Hillary wants my vote. She’s got it! (It was in an ad on this page. It counts!)
I go off of the top ranking countries for visits….
And that ad is from your viewing history…not this site. 😉
I get the first one. I don’t get the second one…. I’ve never been to a Hillary site nor even an article on the subject…. there’s zero way it could be me…. Does a site on general American history count? That’s all I can think of.
I can promise you its not from me. I’m firmly #nevertrump #neverHilary #ifonlyiwas35iddoabetterjobthanthose2jackasses
And I forgot #imsickofthisdamnelection
It’s an ad…. I didn’t think it was you. Just on your site. I mean, I also didn’t look up gross feet problems but that ad’s shown up, too. 😛
#soamiandiamnotamericanorlivethere. 😀
All right! Does this mean the “no talking politics” ban has been lifted? The media hasn’t been reporting much about the election so I’m dying to hear what everyone thinks about it….:) JK
Lol not a chance
Ads are absolutely based on your browsing history.
…. (and other punctuation)…
I think you meant to say “partially-based on”. Imagine that someone does no other browsing on a device or account and therefore gets no ads at all… They have to give out some sort of ad to begin with. Customization afterwards, sure, but even then there’s going to be Hilary wanting to get the word out to everyone not just those who already support her…..
Brazil is there – it just got a more accurate name, “State of denial”. 🙁
Hey, if you live there and are happy with the name, then I’m happy, too.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president (insert your least favorite president here), his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”
Hey love the poll and also I’m kinda of hybrid of freemium and premium and donut framer. Also who oldest out of bunny, wookie and Alissa and where did first meet each other
Great poll, definitely prefer the mini events after superheroes 2 burned me out.
Started playing 4 years ago, i’m now married and a dad with full time job but still find time to tap. Happy blogiversary guys! *freemium since day 1*
I’ve never realised how long I had been playing TSTO until I was going through the list of events and realised there were only two events that I *didn’t* do (2012’s Halloween and Thanksgiving events) – and that was despite being at university at the time.
“State of denial” seems like a perfect description of my country (Brazil)’s current political situation: denial of democracy, constitutional law, and civil rights. Thanks for including that answer.
🙂
How long I’ve been playing was a hard question, since I think it’s been almost exactly two years. But I went with the more than two years option, since it felt more accurate than just more than one year. I wish there was a way to see exactly when I started playing…I even logged into my EA account to see if it showed the date I signed up somewhere in my account, but no, it didn’t.
There should be a “Member Since” if you follow this link… https://myaccount.ea.com
That doesn’t work when you have an EA account on other game systems lol
That’s true. It’ll only work if you signed up for an account specifically for this game. Which I did. 😀
Thanks!!! I *swear* that wasn’t there when I looked before.
And I’m happy to see that I was right (by a little more than I thought)…I have been playing for over two years, since I started on July 15, 2014. 🙂
Thank you for posting this! I had no idea you could check this. And I’m ridiculously excited to announce that tomorrow will be exactly 3 years since I started playing. My, how time flies!
Happy to do it, but any thanks should go to simp7fan. He pointed it out to me awhile ago on his one year anniversary of playing. It doesn’t necessarily show the date you started playing, just when you signed up for an account. But those are usually pretty close together. 🙂
One day early congratulations!
My memory might be getting bad, I don’t remember when I started playing, when I started reading TSTOA nor when I first began commenting on it. Feels like at least two years.. But also I’ve forgotten what has been included in past major and mini events to figure out my favorite and least favorite. So my guesses aren’t a perfect science.
But I wonder how many people said the number one improvement should be a faster event calendar (I’m kidding, Bunny) :p
Here’s the cool thing with what i can do (and kinda creepy too lol)…Tot your first comment is on this thread:
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/05/addicts-weekly-open-thread-13/
Do me, do me! Umm, I mean when was my first comment? I think I remember what it was about, but I have idea when. 😀
lol geez everyone wants to abuse my superpowers now 😉
You can find it here…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/09/18/level-44-and-the-conform-o-meter/
What good are superpowers if they’re not abused!?! 😀
My memory is still intact! I remembered my first comment was asking about righteousness. I would not have guessed it was that long ago. Almost two years.
lol glad to spark your memory
Creepy…. now we’re getting somewhere. Show mine next, please.
lol you can find yours here..
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/06/03/in-game-update-pride-month/
Nice, thanks. I was kind enough to even identify it was my first comment. Lee (and 2 lesser known commenters) liked it. 🙂
HAHAHA it’s like you have superpowers!
Etamni… I miss his comments.
Do me! Do me! Lol
Of course Pimp wants in on the action…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/03/26/shout-out-and-the-finalists-are/
Me, too! Me, too!! 🙂
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/11/18/friendship-level-12-unlocking-the-little-black-box/
Now would I be a Pimp if I didn’t “want in on the action”? 😜
I remember that comment I made, but I’m surprised as it being my first. And sadly, Mopurglar stopped playing this game about a year ago. (And Saramary too ☹️) But I just can’t find myself to actually delete him because his town design is just so awesome.
Hey- o
Very cool (thank you for finding that) and yeah a little creepy :p
I know I’ve been a lurker for a while before that. (Unlurk you other lurkers out there!)
Funny to see fimiliar faces commenting durring that time as well, and kinda weird seeing your new gravitar/icon (with Riley) in those posts before she was even born :p
i want in on the action too! haha i honestly have no idea when/what my first comment was, just that it had to have been in 2014 sometime…. was probably complaining about the need for moderating comments huh? 😉
Lol nah…helpful as always
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/12/27/workaround-for-gil-glitch/
Now you have to do everyone!!
lol no more requests.. 😉
http://tstoaddicts.com/findfriends/
(here’s your first non-friend request one)
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/01/21/troubleshooting-101-character-issues/
But you skipped my request from yesterday! Does that one get grandfathered in? 😉
Nope
🙁
I posted yours when you asked the other day. If you scroll up you’ll see it…but here it is again
https://tstoaddicts.com/2014/11/18/friendship-level-12-unlocking-the-little-black-box/
So many links back and forth I guess you doesn’t see it 😀
So, sorry! I don’t know how I missed that email….it was interesting to see how much longer after I started playing it was than I thought. Thanks for digging that up for me! 🙂
Oh, and btw, Allsa — check the email inbox. I sent you an email late last night (I think). I’m not sure if you’ll see this post, so I’ll post it again in the Open Thread tomorrow, unless I hear from you before then.
I’ll check it out. I’m at my inlaws in PA this weekend but I’ll check it out when I get home.
Alissa replied to you… https://tstoaddicts.com/2014/11/18/friendship-level-12-unlocking-the-little-black-box/
Well, that’s odd — I never got an email for that reply thanks for reposting it! The funny thing is, I never would have guessed that I had been playing for over four months before I found this site!
well according to the first post alissa pulled for me, i didn’t comment on here until over a year after i started playing. i know i didn’t attempt to look up info/strategy on the game until my son and i had been playing for a few months, and i DID lurk for a bit after finding this site, but i honestly wouldn’t have thought it was that long before i finally made my first comment.
nothing like your first to open the floodgates, right? 😉
Yeah – I’m not much of a lurker though… I’m betting it wasn’t long between when I found this site and when I started posting. I do remember that ib started off using some of the more info-oriented (vs. community-oriented) sites, like the Simpsons wiki, because I was mostly looking for info about things like the Conform-o-Meter effect of various things and stuff like that, white I was trying to make some headway during the lower levels. Plus, I was playing for about a month before my first event hit (CoC). I might have looked at this site for some info before I started posting, but I doubt it was very long.
I do have a copy of an email I sent to A/B/W a few weeks after I started posting here, asking them to please let me know if I was making a pest of myself by posting too much….fortunately, they said I was fine, lol!
Maybe not….I asked, too, but got no reply. 🙁
I figured she decided to nip out in the bud, before it got out of control.
Alissa wasn’t thinking ahead when she posted the first one. 😉
I know when I started reading (first week of Oct 2013) and when I was first mentioned in a post (14FEB2014), first time a comment of mine was quoted in a post (14MAR2013), but could I trouble you to tell me too when I first posted a comment please.
12/27/2013
Thank you!
Here’s the link to it…

Superpower(s) implies you have more than one superpower, what are you holding out on us?
My powers of sarcasm and cheesy jokes 😉
I had to look all of the holiday ones up, because I didn’t remember most of them off-hand. And I had to look up (again!) when CoC was, because I knew that was my first event and I had started laying not long before that. (As it turned out, it was a month before that, but I thought it was less, probably partially because I’m not used to having a month go by before another event starts!)
Glad to take part in this. It always reminds me of when I started playing more seriously. Easter 2014.
Congrats on the milestone. I love the site and visit at least once a day to keep up to date. Keep up the great work.
I hope people remember when they fill out their poll that mini events off a lot more buildings, decorations, characters and character skins than level updates. Also with level updates all those things cost in game cash. I hope people don’t forget this stuff then vote against mini events and they take them away.
They are really chill but still fun and we get lots of cool stuff for free. I like them.
Don’t worry we’re not EA so things won’t get taken away based on this poll. It’s really just a fun way to gauge what the community here is thinking.
But if you post the results and we know EA checks your site (because you guys are so awesome) they’ll likely take them into consideration.
lol maybe…but I don’t think they’ll revert back to level updates after spending so much time and energy eliminating them…
You aren’t EA, but EA should just give y’all the reigns to the game design. Would do a much better job I’m sure 🙂
Will you post the results ? I would love to see the rankings 🙂
Yup, we do every year 😉 (that’s what those links at the bottom lead to)
went back and found the links, thank you !
a silly suggestion perhaps, but it would be cool if the survey had a link to a table of events and their dates. I honestly am not sure how long i’ve been playing now, but if I could see when stonecutters was (before my time) or tapball was (had been playing for ages by then 🙂 I could roughly figure out that date. Would probably help with the least favorite event question too 🙂
Can’t do it with this particular type of table. But there is a full list of events on our site that can be accessed by the menu at the top of the page. It’s also here:
https://tstoaddicts.com/events/
perfect… TSTO started ruining/running my life in april of 2015 🙂
Love doing polls 🙂
No comment….hahaha
Especially Sunday afternoon 😀
😂😂😂
Polls or Pols?
I know this makes me sound stupid but what is the difference between a freemium and premium player
Freemium spends ZERO dollars in the game…never buys donuts (that includes scratch-Rs). Only uses what’s free. Premium spends money in the game…
This is great! So who created the poll? Love the way you made it funny: what toilet do you use instead of boring ‘are you male or female?’ or adding ‘Springfield Retirement Home’ to where we could go.
Can’t wait for the answers and I can’t wait for the video Q&A!!! 😉
I did Sam. I’ve been doing it since our 6 month anniversary..
Sorry! It is my first year with the Addicts
No need to be sorry…I was just answering your question lol
Two dots mean….
