Addicts Bracket Challenge: Most Desired Building, Week 3

How much longer EA can keep Tapped Out going is up for debate. But what isn’t debatable is that there are plenty of buildings in the rich history of The Simpsons universe still not in our little game. We present to you TSTO Addicts’ Most Desired Building Bracket Battle.

Like last year, with your help, we created a Bracket of 64 beloved buildings we believe would bring a smile to your face, have great tasks, could make for an awesome event, or simply be a nice idea for a new Friends Point prize. Unlike last year though, you had a huge say in what buildings made the cut.

We pre-selected 96 buildings organized into eight thematic conferences. We had chosen four to get automatic entries into the Bracket. However, your votes in the pre-Bracket polls selected which four buildings would join them in each conference. Those 64 buildings would then battle each other in six rounds of head-to-head matchups, that we hope produces the most debate in the comments below.

With the Bracket determined, every Friday over summer, we’ll post that week’s matchups and your votes will determine which buildings advance to the next round, until we’ve crowned “The Most Desired Building” on Friday September 1^st.

#2 The Jazz Hole (74% – 992 votes) defeated #7 One Night Stan’s (26% – 350 votes) – Had One Night Stan’s won, it would have been disqualified and replaced by The Jazz Hole in Round 2 on the basis of it’s emergence in our games

and in the only upset of the week, and second consecutive upset in the Businesses/Factories Conference

#7 Pillow Factory (61% – 811 votes) upset #2 Springfield Laundromat (39% – 518votes)

Also of note, as The League of Extra-Horny Gentlemen was added to the game before it’s Round 1 matchup, it will be replaced by the next highest vote getter in the pre-Bracket Battle Poll – The Hate Box.

Here’s a look at the updated Bracket:
