Cutting Edge Sale Event 3/14


This type of Sale Event usually has one of those 7 Day Sale Events to go along with it, so don't be surprised if suddenly there is another added event, just like during the Blaze Of Glory Sale Event and the No Strings Attached 7 Day Sale event 


The loot item levels up for every 5 items you purchase.



Why we do this: Reef Octopus, animal [varies]


Small print says: " *Offer ends on 18th March at 11:59 PM PDT. Only Items selling in the Marketplace are eligible for this reward. However, Items selling for less than 5RP, Treasure Chest Items, and Skill Point Reallocation do not count towards the prize."

Freeze Limited Time Arena Power Up 2/27


Freeze, new Arena Power Up, More Arena Push

In the 9 zillionth attempt to make the Arena more exciting than it is, Zynga has decided it needed a Freeze to help make it more popular.


We get to post a Power Card Beg from this banner, which is nice, because we can build one Freeze for 2 Power Cards (limited time only 12 days 10 hours remain)


Since I had some power cards, I built a few. Here is what they do:


"Block an opponent from attacking you (10s). Cooldown 10s."


When these expire, it appears they will revert to Power Cards. I assume we will not get 2 cards for each Freeze. I *assume* we will only get 1 Power Card per Freeze, but they aren't saying.

***UPDATED*** Richie's Stash Limited Time Beg-a-thon 12/24


Oh look, there was too much going on in the game, so Zynga added one more thing!

Right here, on the banner, where it says "Ask For Parts" is an "Any Part" beg post, so there are some more parts for you there!


Ask for parts, this means lots and lots of begging, right?
I see eight items to build, and since I am a VIP player, I see absolutely *nothing* that will help my numbers except for the reward for leveling up this thing, the Bagpipe Player:


Bagpipe Player, henchmen, bronze level [130/210]
To get Bronze, I need to build all 8 items.  Almost time for some math, old school.

Here is what clicking the little question mark gets us:


This one explained pretty well for a change! Nice work Zyngons!

The begging: Four different parts, each part can be posted every 8 hours. Yes, all four parts, every 8 hours, five parts from friends clicks per post. We also, of course, have the option to spend Reward Points on this (expletive deleted).


Here are the items we will be building:
Bronze


I added up all the parts needed to build all 8 items for the bronze, and I got a total of 96 parts needed. Since we can only collect up to 75 per day, that means, maybe tomorrow I will get to Bronze level Bagpipe Player.  

If I did my old math correctly, I see 600-675 parts available to us in the 8 days and 15 hours alotted. I wonder if we can complete this more than once? I guess we'll find out.

 Also, I do not know if we will need even *more* parts to build the Silver or Gold levels to get the Bagpipe Players.

***UPDATE***

Uh Yep!
We will need even more parts for the Silver level: Here is the build pop-up with the numbers needed for Silver items: Even better Stats!


Using old math I cam up with a total of 144 parts needed to make all 8 of these items to get the Silver Bagpipe Player. Let the begging continue!



Gold Level: Best Stats!


Gold Level builds will take a total of 240 parts! Get to beggin'!

PAY TO PLAY SECRET DISTRICT-THE GRIFTER


~

As the Clock struck twelve we were presented with another pay to play optional Secret District, THE GRIFTER. I Do not do these as they usually fall within a week of a open secret district. Now for some of you out there this may be a great way to maximize your accumulated or purchased RP in the form of converting them to the Skill points. This is a full 4 tiers and Job list. Which, for the Cost, outweighs purchasing Skill Points from the Marketplace. Add to that the decent loot if you are not VIP and it is worth the cost. So if you have the RP on hand this might be a great way to increase your stats for low cost. Of course you have to have much of the other things completed, or near completed but having 10 to 20 events at once is the name of the game. They have made it clear, (or deflected from the fact that there numbers show a increase in sales when they overload us, due to the methodical manipulation of the social and consumer mindset.) that they like to have all options on the table for the various ways people play. 

I know, LOL. 


Oh yeah. Stay tuned because we have more overload news to share in the form of a new LIMITED TIME PROPERTY. ~Billy

Sports Sale Event 10/18


Basketball Player, henchmen [various]
The Sports Sale Event is very much like the Spotlight Sale Event and the Edge of Triumph Sale Event 
This time we *do* have %50 off Reward Points!


Buy items to progress along the little bar and as we move up we collect a better Basketball Player


Do not forget to read the fine print, again. Offer Ends 23rd October at 11:59 pm PDT. Items selling for less than 5 RP, Treasure Chest and Skill Point Reallocation do not count towards the prize. (I am pretty sure they mean "items selling for 5RP or less" again and still, since that has not changed in several of these sales)

Zombie Outbreak Beg and Build Limited Time Event 10/18


Z-Day Virus

Recent similar events were the Repelled Poles and Ripped Rims 


How it works.
Okay it looks like they got very excited when trying to explain this, and then screwed it all up. I do not know how many parts you can get in one day. It could be 30 or 35 or 40 or 45 some other number.
30 per day from friends clicking your feed
another (or not another?) 10 per day by you clicking on your friends feed and
5 per day from jobs?
I think for now I will simply suggest hanging on to the parts as long as you can before you start building. We won't collect until the event is over anyway.


The Items: 
Zombie Responder, henchmen [various]
Zombified Wolf, animal [various]
As usual for this type of event/build, the higher we move up, the more parts we will need, and the more builds we do, the more parts.
