New Feature: Monthly Shout Out!

Update: We’ve updated the post to reflect a new collaborative effort on this great tribute to the players of TSTO between TSTO Topix and TSTO game.  So check out the revised details below…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

We’re loving all of the emails, comments & images you guys send us on a daily basis! We love seeing just how creative & funny you all can be, as well as getting to know more about you!  We love it so much we’ve decided to create a new feature across THREE TSTO Blogs.

In a collaborative effort between TSTO Topix, TSTO game and TSTO Addicts, we want to feature YOU!  Your town, your words anything/everything about YOU!  Each month we’ll pick a handful of readers across the three blogs to be featured in our Monthly Shout Out, where we’ll feature your town and some fun information about you.  Then at the end of the Shout Out we’ll let the TSTO Community vote for their favorite.  That winner will be declared our Tapper of the Month!

So what’s in it for you?  Well we’ll feature the Tapper of the Month as a widget on our sidebar, so you and your town will be on display for 10s of thousands of Tappers each and everyday!  Oh…and did I mention the Tapper of the Month wins a $10 iTunes/Google Play/Amazon Gift Card?!!!  😀

That’s right…each and every month we’re giving the Tapper of the Month $10 in donuts!!!

So here’s the deal: starting right now…ok well you can finish reading this post first….send us your Springfields (preferably Stitched Photo of your full town, you can find a how-to here), a few sentences about YOU, how long you’ve been Tapping, why you love TSTO & why YOU should be featured in our Monthly Shout Out.  Send them to TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com (put Shout Out in the subject line please 🙂 ) and be sure to include your origin id and where you’re from.  Also, make sure you let us know how you Tap (iOS, Android or Kindle).  The three blog sites will then go through the entries and pick our favorites to be featured that month.  At the end of each month we’ll post our picks.  At the end of the post we’ll leave it up to the TSTO Community to vote for their favorite.  The winner will then be declared the Tapper of the Month!

If you need help “Stitching” images of your town (where you combine multiple photos of your town to make one large image.  An example is shown in the main graphic for this post, btw that’s Bunny’s town!) check out this How-To Post OR email us (tstoaddictsblog@gmail.com) and we’ll be happy to help in anyway we can.  🙂 Note: you don’t need to send it a full image of your town.  You can send us an area of your town that you just love,  2D/3D designs, your Krustyland…basically just areas of your town you love.  

This will start THIS MONTH.  So start sending us your submissions!  We’ll pick our favorites and post about them during the last week of March and the winner of the Community Poll will be the Tapper of the Month for April. Then we’ll pick more favorites for the last week of April and the winner of that poll will be the Tapper of the Month for May..and so on.  We’ll keep going until you guys stop submitting stuff… 🙂

Weekend Update: December 8th-14th

Phew, what a week we have had. You all having fun yet? Glitchin still? Well I have been ALL over the U.S. this week. East coast to West coast. Ran into a bunch of fellow Addicts. You all are a bunch of nut cases just like me, and I LOVE IT!!!

Airplane

No worries, I AM an Addict through and through, so I WAS playing and keeping an eye on you guys all along the way. I enjoy it THAT much. Just no more peanuts or pretzels please. You’d think they’d at least have a carrot or 3 aboard.  🙂

WINNER WINNER…HEY…WHERE’S MY CHICKEN DINNER??!

Bunny here with a quick little update. About a week ago, I did a post on my Sideshow Bob 2D art. I had a mini contest at the end for my readers to guess just how many newspaper dispensers I used on his hair and their total cost.

Sideshow Unfilled

So I took off all of his hair (he looks kinda silly without it)…

…and here are the totals.

Contest totals

All of that just for ONE section of a 2D. No wonder I keep falling behind on buying buildings, but I don’t mind starving for my art.

Now…the winners…

Mags1972 guessed: “$131,725
405 dispensers at least”. Really close. Good guess.

Mummie guessed: “I’m going with 312”. Great guess…I was probably closer to this count just before I ran out of money and was left with a hole in his head. LOL

THIS IS HALLOWEEN! THIS IS HALLOWEEN!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! My favorite Holiday is just around the corner. This Bunny has always enjoyed the fun, games, dressing up, trick-or-treating, Haunted Houses, and all that goes along with this silly little event. Being an Android user, I wasn’t able to enjoy the fun and excitement of TSTO during last years Halloween event, so I am really looking forward to see what cool items they launch on us this year.

To celebrate this upcoming event, us crazy tappers here at Addicts have come up with our own little treat bag of FREE DONUTS!! (no tricks involved) for our readers. Read more about it here: http://tstoaddicts.com/2013/09/10/tsto-addicts-tapped-out-spooky-2d-contest/
