THOH XXX: Full Dialogue Week 3, Once Bitten, Twice Die

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The calendar may say November, but it’s still Halloween in Springfield!  But with Kodos and Kang involved will it be full of Treats or lots of Tricks? We’ll have to read the dialogue to find out…

Now that we’re wrapping up week 3 of the event, it’s time to look back at the dialogue.  Just in case you missed it by tappin’ too fast…

THOH XXX Prize Guide: Act 3, Prize 5 Martin of the Opera

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Despite the calendar showing November, it’s still Halloween in Springfield! And it’ll be that way for a few more weeks…and we shouldn’t be surprised after all EA warned us!

“Isn’t it sad when Halloween ends and all you have to show for it is a bucket of candy? Well, fear not!  The new Treehouse of Horrors update for Tapped Out starts this Wednesday and will scare you deep into November!”

I’m no longer sacred…just counting down the days till tinsel time. 🎄🎄🎄

Anyway…back to the prizes at hand…

THOH XXX follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

For Week 3, we’re following what happens when Zia betrays Kodos and Kang, and plots her own world take over!  All of the prizes unlocked during week 3 play a role in that storyline.

So let’s take a look at prize 5, Martin of the Opera…an all-new character for our pocket-sized towns…

THOH XXX Week 4 Starts Tomorrow

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

You guys…Riley’s 4 years old today! Happy Birthday to the Tiny Addict…I can’t believe she’s already 4. For those of you that listened to Addicts Live on Saturday, you’ll know that she celebrated her Birthday with a donut party this past weekend!  Lots of sugar was consumed by lots of little kiddos!

Anyway…enough of me getting sappy that the Tiny Addict is 4 today! (if you want to see more photos you can check out my Instagram @AddictsAlissa)  Back to TSTO…

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, November 13th, Week 4 (Act 4) of THOH XXX…the FINAL Act of this Event…will be starting.  The official start time is 9am ET. An hour earlier because Daylight Savings ended in the US recently.  Files show start time as 1400 UTC, which is converted to 9am ET now.

While the Week 3 questline shouldn’t be going anywhere (and weeks 1 and 2 for that matter), so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 4 starts, all of the Week 3 Premium items will be leaving the store.

So if you plan on purchasing, Bridge Troll Moe do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning. (SIBs Linked)

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 4 to start…

During Week 4 we’ll receive a visit from the Rigellian Devil himself…and J. Rigellian Christ makes a return appearance…as Marge tries to get her children’s souls back.  Of course, you’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but the same characters used for Act 3 currency tasks should be used for the Act 4 currency tasks, with the exception of Bridge Troll Moe.  Again, Bridge Troll Moe will NOT earn currency for Week 4.  So we’re looking at God, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Grampa, Maggie, Nelson, Milhouse, and the New Premium Character for Week 4…

You’ll also need Kodos, Kang, and Marge free for the initial questline objective…

There will also be one new premium character combo introduced during week 4, and that character will be able to help with the currency earning for week 4.  (150 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase the combo)

And that’s it my friends!  Be prepared for Week 4 to start up tomorrow morning!

Thoughts on week 3?  Ready for week 4?  Excited to see how the story finishes?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

THOH XXX: Week 3 Questline, Premium Character Bridge Troll Moe

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Halloween has finally arrived in Springfield, but with Kodos and Kang involved will it be full of Treats or lots of Tricks? We’ll have to read the dialogue to find out…

THOH XXX follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

With Act 3, week 3, one new premium character was introduced. In addition to helping with event currency, Bridge Troll Moe comes with his own, short, individual questlines, so let’s take a look at the full dialogue questlines now.

Addicts Open Thread

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

Simpsons are back tonight with a new episode! What do you think will happen?

It may be November 10th, but it’s still Halloween in Springfield.  Will the madness ever end?!  The answer of course is yes, as week 4…the final week…rolls out this week.  Then we can finally throw the pumpkins in the compost pile…along with the fruitcake, we threw back there 6 years ago. I wonder which will decompose first…  Thoughts as we prepare to hit week 4?

ICYMI…Addicts Live was back yesterday!  An all-new episode aired via YouTube and where ever you download podcasts.  You can listen/watch it here.  We talked all things Halloween, glitches, why the Wailing Walls literally made Safi wail…and a lot more.  Check it out if you missed it!

How’s your designing coming?  What are you doing with your town? Share some photos in the comments below! (If you need a refresher on how to add photos to the comments check out this post) As a heads up to those that actually read the Open Thread post…I’ll be announcing a Halloween Showoff next week (to post when the event ends).  So you’ve got an extra few days to prep your downs.

And finally, how was your weekend?  Do anything fun and exciting?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well)  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

Friday Filler – Of Gods, Trolls, and Limits of Power

Thank Grog It’s Firday!

OK…in full disclosure, I am once again breaking all of the “time/space/continuum” rules by writing this early (Thursday) after doing an Addicts Live last night (Wednesday) that won’t actually be live until the day after tomorrow (Saturday).  But, that’s Ok. Time is relative…and I am going to be spending most of my time Friday-Sunday,  WITH my relatives, and in fact, am likely doing so as we speak (if I was actually there, with you, speaking to you).

This weekend is my nieces’s wedding, and all of my daughters are flying in for the celebration, including Katie, Ryan, and Jake (the cutest little tapper…or at least one of the two cutest, if you ask Alissa) on the East Coast.

So yes. I am actually happy that TSTO is so dingdangdiddly EAsy and boring. I just don’t have that much time to care. Which is perfect. Because we are only in week 3…of what I thought was week 4…because I have paid so little attention to it. Go figure. 

But, this week, we got Bridge Troll Moe, which was actually hilarious, and brought up a ton of recent, and past memories about trolls.

Should I Spend Donuts On Bridge Troll Moe and the Deep Dark Woods?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Gather ’round the tapping device everyone, it’s update time in TSTO! As Halloween is alive and well in our pocket-sized towns…even if it is seven days into November!  Of course, an all-new event means all-new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!

As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add Bridge Troll Moe and the Deep Dark Woods to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Fairy Tale combo to your town…
