Chris's spending on iPhone games

[AdmiralPingas]

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I dabble in Tapped Out, and I suspect the reason why Chris will accept anyone - even CWCki trolls - as friends is because the friend system is quasi-anonymous and pretty limited. There's no real communication between friends, it's just a case of looking at their Springfields and maybe tapping a few of their buildings every day. There's no danger of him being spammed with messages, and I doubt he'd accept a friend request from anyone with a handle like "Asperchu", so he gets the (admittedly limited) benefits of having a lot of friends without having to seek them out or fear them trolling stupid.

With one exception. Back in April/May (before Ron_Swanson made his post explaining the grand number of donuts Chris had spent), there was an in-game event called Whacking Day, in which the object was to whack snakes by tapping them. Whacking a snake would sometimes grant you a snake egg, and the idea was to place these eggs in friends' Springfields so that they would hatch into yet more snakes. Now the eggs were quite small, and you could build up a hefty supply of them, so people were placing them in patterns, spelling out words and such, to let their friends know who had placed them.

Chris is probably very fortunate he didn't wake up one day and log in to find that the ween kids had flooded his Springfield with eggs spelling out a certain name...

"MEGAN"?

Sorry to necro this thread, but for the halloween update, you collect cans of goo from tapped ghosts, and the more cans you get, the better the unlockables, etc. Went to check on Chris and he already has more cans than anyone else in my friends' list. BUT! you can release 'gremlins' in your friend's towns that steal their cans for you. As one would expect, when I tried to, the game wouldn't even let me, saying Chris' town was already crawling with gremlins XD

Makes sense to me, Fatty has been vandalizing all of his friends towns. So a little payback is in order.

Funny how Chris can't even get along with people he has almost no contact with.

Vandalizing in the Simpsons Tapped Out is actually a good thing since it gains you more money and experience. So Chris is actually doing his in game neighbors a favor.

I doubt that's the thought process going on in Chris' head...

Well to be fair the only thing that goes on in Chris's mind nowadays is "GAWD I HATE MEGAN.....WHY WON'T SHE HAVE SEX WITH ME?.....DOESN'T SHE KNOW I'M A HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC!?!?!?!"

I can't say for sure and am not inclined to research it, but I think vandalism actually lowers one of your star ratings until it's cleaned up, thereby costing you money. I could be wrong, though.

He's been to my town several times during his current I-Hate-Meg bender and seems to be doing pretty well with the Halloween stuff that's going on now.

It's so frustrating that Chris is willing to shell out all this money for something as banal as an iPhone game, and then turn around and complain that he's so poor and on welfare. Granted, we've long ago established that logic and money management are lost skills to him.

This is from this morning, at this time his count of the ghost items (907, in the middle) must be even crazy higher. Dude is burning through the game, obsessively tapping the thing to start tasks over and over, because that rate can't be explained just by his use of bonuses like these:

That small stone building in the middle under Witch Marge is a mausoleum, makes ghosts for you to tap, and costs like $6 each. Chris has four, left over from last year when he paid for them, I haven't noticed if he's bought any new ones this year. Anyway you can kinda see how his town is crawling with gremlins, the irony is that the game is set up in such a bland way that all the gremlin' ends up being beneficial for Chris' game. This is how his Toro PSN game was supposed to work, like it's been posted, if only he accepted more of us in his games he'd do even better. XD Also yeah he's already bought all the extra paid worthless decorations released with the halloween update.
