Hey there Addicts,
Bouncing on by with some fun things coming up on the Horizon. Back in October, we were thrilled to be a part of an amazing Meet and Greet with TinyCo and fellow players. This is something we have been talking about doing since before the Addicts sites were formed. Meeting up with a community of players, people like us. Just hanging out, chatting, playing the game, and having a blast. Well, we want to keep that idea rolling along.
In continuing our efforts to bring together this Community of Amazing Gamers and Players, we have set our sites on the Next Meet and Greet opportunity. As you know we love involving YOU in all that we do, we are putting this out there to get feedback on your thoughts.
This is what we have so far…
The Addicts Meet & Greet will take place on the East Coast. Most likely the New Brunswick area of New Jersey.
The Date will be a Saturday Evening around the end of March
We “might” have some cool treats and beverages on hand for you as well as “possibly” some sweet Swag. 😉
So we are now leaving it to YOU. We want to get a place reserved an ensure we have ample room for us all. Are YOU interested in coming? If so, does this location work for YOU? The rough date? Time? Let us know, we really would love to hear from you as well as get a chance to MEET you too. 😉

I would love to go and meet everyone but I cannot afford to take the time off work. 😦 At work, they keep us right at that spot where we just miss the benefits of being full time. So no vacation time for me 😦 I will be there in spirit and foresee all the the fun you guys are going to have. Maybe you’re fans that can’t make it to the event, can have an opportunity to win some left over swag after the event??? 😉

I think a meet and greet would be fun! I live in Upstate NY, so East Brunswick would be roughly a 3 and a half to 4 hour drive, but it’s definitely possible, especially with this much notice in advance. The sooner you can secure a date, the better! I have to request time off work 🙂

Not 100% sure. BUT I’ve driven across the country 3 times and I can tell you I’ve made it from my house in NJ to Minnesota (where Mall of America is) in 18hrs. And I know it’s about 11-12 hrs from here to Chicago. Hopefully that helps give you some perspective 🙂

Here’s the thing on that… the majority of what we asked them… is IN the game now. Lol. So it became in invalid point. Some we posted here and there all over the site. They were totally loving the interaction and ideas. We have something else planned coming up soon, so keep an eye out on the blog. We love the Q&A stuff. It’s great to see things from their side. 😉

Thanks, Bunny. I am glad I didn’t miss it. I would love an interactive Q and A feature with TinyCo on this site! One thing I would still like to ask them is how drop rates are calculated and specifically how they improve after failed attempts. Also, it would be cool if we could directly suggest new game ideas to them. I love the direct interaction we have with you on this site and it would be fun to have that with TinyCo here too.

Hi guys,
Let me start by saying that this blog and all the family guy gaming community is awesome. I am also commenting mainly for accountability and by no means passing any judgement, so I apologize if this causes anger to any who read it. I have been a freemium player of this game and I think I spent about $10 on clams (had to buy the alien!). I just deleted the game from my phone. Previously I would get addicted to games, but then if I wanted to get rid of it, I would simply sell everything and use up all the clams/donuts etc. But in this game, that is not an option. So, I decided to clear my phone cache and any saved data for this app before deleting. It broke my heart but it had to be done as I was getting obsessed with this game. So much that I would buy anything that I could, put it in the box, align all building and maximizing all land space etc, you get the drift. I since reinstalled to see if it worked, but it didn’t. So I think it will take me more than just clearing cache, to stop playing this game :). I just wanted to write this to stick to my decision. I hope this works.
Wish you all a fun time playing this game and good luck.

That’s too bad it came to that, but we understand. We tell others all the time that this game should be fun to YOU. YOU need to enjoy it and like it. If you don’t, it may not be for you and moving on to something that is doesn’t mean anything bad. It is actually a great idea. Especially if you feel it is intruding or impacting your personal life, like in the manner you spoke of. Taking a step away from the game is just fine.
Just know no matter what, you will ALWAYS be welcome here. Even if you just want to pop on by to enjoy contests or join in the conversation on the Open Threads. You are welcome to. Outside of that, please don’t feel bad for having to step away. Not at all. If it is what is best for you, we support you fully. 😉

It’s just outside of NYC (by like 30 minutes via train). We wanted to keep it out of the city for costs & folks coming up from PA. Plus I know a lot of Jersey folks that won’t go into the city.

Too far north for Folks in Delaware & PA.
This isn’t a bad location it’s right by the college campus so plenty of space and located next to all mass transit. 🙂

Foxwoods would be a good idea but then you’d have to see about holding it there. I live in New London, CT so that’s really close to me.

Bunny I know you aren’t an east coaster so this question is more for Alissa (unless you happen to know transit super well). If I were to come into Grand Central from CT could I take another train to new brunswick? I’ve taken it into NJ before but never that location. I obviously could drive but if there’ll be alcohol I’d rather stay safe.
LikeLike
Yes you could. I’ve got to check exactly which ones you’ll want to take but I know you can. That’s why we picked New Brunswick, since it’s centrally located and right by all mass transit in NJ. Let me do some digging and I’ll check to see exactly which trains you’ll have to take.
LikeLike
I decided to not be lazy and looked it up. For people interested in taking the train you transfer from Grand Central to Penn Station (they have a shuttle/direct train. Then from Penn Station you take the Red Line to New Brunswick.

Perfect! I figured it was a Penn Station transfer. 🙂

It’s not called a red line. It’s the Northeast Corridor line on NJ Transit. Probably $15ish one way, maybe a little less.
I am local to that area and would come if I am able.

It’s also a direct train from Newark Airport, if you’re flying in.
