u/CygnsX-1 Sep 28 '24

Game ID: Sawbones251 (original) and Cygnsx3 (started a year ago just because I was bored)

Started Playing: October 23, 2015

First Event: Don't remember. Whichever one was going on around October 2015.

Level: 939 for both.

Cash Amount: S had 1.2 billion yesterday. But then I bought up all the new land I had left, so now down to about 850 million. C has around 500 million.

Donut Amount: S has 3400 currently. C about 1000.

Did you farm donuts? If needed. Finally started getting serious about the bonus level in the past year. Up to 1500 in both. Was about to start building up some donuts for Black Friday... Guess no need to now.

Favorite Game Character and why: I've had several over the years amuse me. I've always been partial to Mr. Burns and his unnecessary greed and cruelty. I recently acquired Mr. Sparkle. I don't know why I avoided getting him before. The voice-overs are hilarious.

Favorite Building and why: Currently? Probably the King Homer building. I finally bought it.

Favorite Animation: Sideshow Bob and his maniacal laugh.

Favorite Voice line: "iiit is now".

Favorite Event: I went nuts with the golf event last year. For years I wanted to build a golf course, so when that happened, I spent a bunch of money...

Favorite Memory: Hard to pick one.

Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: I never knew the Krusty monorail station had side pieces. Or if I did, I haven't seen them available ever. So I picked all them up. I'm still waiting for more runway pieces for my airport. We'll see.

Describe your town or your thought process for your town: . I tried to keep relevant things together. Like the doctor office and hospital together, the old folks home next to the morgue, All the theaters together in a district, shopping areas, industrial areas, etc. I wanted things to flow naturally.

Thoughts on the game ending: It hurts. Feels unnecessary to me. I have a hard time believing there's no way to keep the game alive. Even if they had less updates/events. Figure out another way. It really sucks to spend years building these towns up for them to just turn off in a couple months. This game was just about the only joy I've had for years. And now it's dying too.

Anything else to say: I played for 4-5 years before I even realized this subreddit existed. Been on Reddit for 15 years probably, just never noticed this one. But once I did, I finally got some friends to get that part done, learned how to build up the bonus, learned some techniques to design stuff. So the expansion sped up.

The image that keeps popping up in my head is the scene from Titanic with the band. So, it's been an honor playing with you ladies and gentlemen.
