THOH XXX Week 1 Is Live! (Updated and Complete)

Bug Alert: Seeing a bunch of reports from you guys that the option to buy $19.99 worth of donuts is either missing or broken.  By broken, I mean…you can buy it and spend the money but you’re not given the donuts. If this happens to you contact EA.
What I can tell you is, it looks like there’s going to be a donut bonus offered with the $19.99 Truckload of donuts during this event.  That may explain why it’s missing or you’re having problems with it.

Note: The in-game instruction boxes and prize box says items leave November 13th.  However, the files say November 19th is when the event ends.  I think it’s some dialogue they forgot to change.  It looks like this event was originally supposed to launch last week (like we all thought) and end on the 13th.  But something happened and they pushed it back a week.  They changed the files to indicate the new end date, but forgot to change the box dialogue. (Because the store timer is still counting down 28 days…which is November 19th…)

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Halloween has finally arrived in our pocket-sized Springfields!  With Kodos and Kang running the show it’s hard to know if this event will be all tricks…or treats for Tappers!

We’re back to multi-events for this one.  So love them, or hate them, they’re still here.  So let’s all try to make the best of this…(I’ll have more thoughts in my next musings post…)

Anywho….things kick off with some 6s tasks for Kodos, Kang, and Cthulhu which means…yes, if you don’t have Kodos and Kang you’ll get them at the start of this event. Also, this means, this THOH event is a continuation of the Cthulhu’s Revenge mini-event. Which is kinda cool..at least to me.

After you’ve completed these initial tasks you’ll kick off THOH XXX Week 1…

Super Safi’s Monday Morning Math Mayhem 24 – 666

Morning Mathematical Monsters & Maniacs!

(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “M”)

 

Hi, I’m Super Safi and you may remember me from such stats and strategy posts as Kwik-E-Mart Farming and the advanced losing-to-win Superheroes battle strategy.

Over the past 600+ episodes, The Simpsons has taken us on an amazing mathematical journey involving fractions, probability, Fermat’s last theorem, and hundreds of other aspects from the wonderful world off mathematics.

And what better way to start your week, then by discussing math Monday morning?

In honour of last nights 666th episode, THOH XXX, we will look at some of the properties of 666.

THOH Status…

Updated below…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Saw a few of you commenting about this this morning…

Guys…this is very clearly a joke. (Not a typo from Matt…he didn’t mean 10/21) He’s likely starting to get annoyed at all the TSTO tweets he’s getting so, in typical Simpsons fashion, he’s poking fun at TSTO, EA, and the players.

We’ll see what happens next week. For now it’s Saturday and episode 666 is tomorrow.  So relax and enjoy your weekend!

Update: he’s now added a new tweet. I still believe the original was a joke though. (49 weeks before Halloween 2020…come on guys, that’s a joke)…

Friday Filler – What Does $2K in TSTO Donuts Look Like?

Thank Grog It’s Firday!

And, thank Grog that one of our readers gave me something to write about. Because I sure as heck had nothing good to write about as far as the “update” that didn’t happen…again.

Wednesday, when the update was SUPPOSED to happen, one of our disgruntled readers posted their displeasure about the lack of an update, including information about what they had invested in the game over the years he had been playing.

It rEAlly made me think…

The Sounds of TSTO: Squidport

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Your senses can evoke powerful memories in you. The smell of saltwater can trigger you back to your youth spent at the beach, the touch of cotton can bring you back to memories of your mom, and hearing sounds of TSTO can bring back countless hours spent tap, tap, tapping away.

So let’s take a trip down memory lane via the sound effects of TSTO…
