Hey there Frantic Tappers!
I am going through all the ins and outs of the Update and will have a complete compiled list for you shortly.
The main thing I am seeing so far… just as in releases of the past… you need to reach a certain point in the NEW Content to have full access to all the items for Phase 3.
In this case, build the Mascara Shop and complete Part 1.
Back with more in a bit….
Phase 3 Requirements: You will need to have completed Festival Fail Part 7 in order to start the New Questline for Phase 3, Grin and Bear It.
Unless you have a Character waiting that needs Skull Guitar Picks, there is no counter as of yet to tell your total. I would suggest to keep making requests for a counter to be added.

LEADERBOARDS
Leaderboards are back in Phase 3 and I already see panic. Let me just quickly voice MY personal opinion on them.
I see many of you NOT wanting to spend Clams on Buildings, Decorations, or even Characters over 100 Clams… so is it really worth it to you to spend HUNDREDS of Clams to stay on top of the Leaderboards for ONE Prize? Just some food for thought. 😉
Concerts will offer a HUGE boost to Blammies
. So get as many done as you can, and know that it is the most common jump you are seeing in your opponents counts. Voice any concerns to TinyCo.
Leaderboards are just an added challenge aspect. You do NOT have to stress on them. There are so many other cool things in the game you can earn for Free and just by playing the game. So focus on those and keep the Leaderboard as an AFTER thought. Unless you REALLY want to spend a ton of money to run it. That is YOUR personal choice. Just beware… it WILL change by the minute and you can move up and down at the drop of a hat (as others are pushing to “win” just as much as you).
Now for some details…
The Leaderboard IS Timed. In other words Part One of the Leaderboard will end on August 27th @3PM Pacific.
Part One Prizes (YOU ONLY GET THE ONE TAGGED “QUALIFIED”)
Rank Grand Prize (1):
Starbright Express Peter
10 Clams
$1000
2500 Glowsticks
Rank Gold Prize (2):
10 Clams
$1000
2500 Glowsticks
Rank Silver Prize (3-10):
10 Clams
$1000
Rank Bronze Prize (11-30):
$1000
This is YOU against ONLY 30 other Random Players. Think of the millions of players on this game, divide by 30, now that should give you an idea how many possibilities of “Groups of 30” there are. A LOT! 😉
The Leaderboard does update quite often.

I don’t know if this question is in the right place. If I unlocked Avril,Snoop and Alice on my IPad can I go onto my Kindle And get their albums for my Kindle? When I go to the market on my kindle under the event tab there is an exclamation but nothing actually is there to get.

I was loving this event because of how low stress it was. Now, I feel like I’ve fallen so far behind. Any tips on how a Freemium player can get lots of glow sticks quickly? I feel like the only way to get lots of Blammys is to open the concert stage; to get the stage you need Alice; to get Alice, you need Belgard (because of the drop rate/action length of the boots); and Belgard requires 4000 glow sticks PLUS items. (And even if I do get Belgard, then I need to raise 700ish glow sticks for Alice.). I’m just barely at 3000 glow sticks now, and I had more than 1 concert in previous weeks and log in almost every hour. I’m not seeing any way of earning faster that doesn’t involve clam speeding or premium item purchases. I’d appreciate any insight you might have.

Do not focus on Belgard. Try to just use Peter instead and see how far you got. Keep Belgard as a “future unlocking Character” if you are struggling for Glowsticks.
LikeLike
You might just relax and wait until you have enough glow sticks for both Alice and Belgard. You might not need him for collecting as much as you think. I had about 4500 glow sticks left after buying all the stuff needed for the first concert. I there caution to the winds and decided to go ahead and get the hostel now (which I liked as a permanent building and it pays out nicely) for 4000 glow sticks to get started on unlocking Belgard, I figured I would get back to Alice’s 700 soon enough. Besides, it’s fun to watch Belgard toss his hair around while waiting to be unlocked …. I was back up to more than 900 glow sticks in half a day at most, more than enough for Alice if I ever get all the stuff he needs. I have no idea if I can unlock Belgard in time to be useful in phase 3. I may regret no longer having a bigger stash later in the game, but I do seem to be getting glow sticks at a healthy rate. No clam-purchase buildings, but I bought all the glowstick-purchase buildings as early as possible and they’re dropping a lot of glow sticks. I did one secret concert while in phase 2, which probably gave me an extra 2000 to 2500 glow sticks compared to regular concerts. But I’ve collected much more than that amount just by normal tapping. So just keep at it. You have until the end of the event to unlock Alice if needed, although you can’t do concerts or move to phase 4 until he’s unlocked. I’m often several days behind official launches of the next stage in these events and just barely entered sick bay by the end of the Star Trek event, so that’s not a disaster.

This post has been very detailed and helpful (as all of your post are), but I have a question. I start r playing this game Thursday night and now it’s Saturday night and I buy buildings and decos with clams and I also buy premium characters but I do not use clams to speed a characters task. On the leaderboard I am number 9 with 11 Grammys. And number 1 has 327 grammys, number 2 has 254 and number 3 has 201 Grammys. How is this possible ? Lol we just started two days ago.
Ps this certainly won’t stop me from trying my hardest to climb that leadership board but I feel like the little engine that couldn’t lol

Concerts. Everyone is NOT in the same place as you. If someone was still in the Phase 2 Content, they very easily moved up as Concerts offer 40-70 Blammy boost each time as those Female Fans drop them too. So, depending where you are in the game… will determine when you get the jump in counts.

Seriously, no materials, just the 2 things I REALLY wanted (Tomik and Pegacorn) and 2 pretty cool decos. I am very pleased with these results. Just thought I’d share, as I know a lot of people get discouraged with Mystery boxes (unwanted materials, repeat decos, etc.). I’ve had bad luck with them in the past as well, but it seems to be totally random, I guess this time I lucked out! These boxes are always a gamble, and with gambling comes risks. But it’s not impossible to win! Improbable, maybe… But so is a lightning and thunder storm with several inches of rain and flash floods in the middle of July on the central coast of California, and I just experienced that last month too!

It also says in the in-game faq’s that a jump of 40-70 points on the leaderboard is not unusual because of the payouts. But still to report if you suspect someone is cheating of course. So people that have like 80 points at the top of the leaderboards really aren’t that far ahead.

The ONE player in YOUR group of 30. In the past it was top ranks out of millions. SO… this is much better odds of more people getting the top prize. Honestly… if you do not have the time or Clams… don’t stress it. Let it go. It is a “chance” at one costume that another person can knock you out of easily. Instead, use them wisely for things you ARE guaranteed in the game and probably more worthwhile. 😉

You know I am appreciative of your site and the time, money, and effort you guys put into helping us navigate the game.

Biggest issue is the circular effect of this phase. 1) Can’t hold a concert because you can’t unlock Alice Cooper without paying through the nose. 2) Cant earn him very fast because Belgard is behind a 4000 glow stick wall 3) cant earn glow sticks too fast because you can’t hold a concert or pay.
I get it, but I am also an everyday player (like every hour player). I never pay for premium content in games, yet I have spent more on this game over the last year and a half or so than I ever imagined. But even I think something is effed up with Tiny Co’s pricing. Their pricing methodology just isn’t in touch with the fans of the game.

I’m confused. Can we or can we not perform any concerts right now without unlocking Alice first? When I tap the stage it’s telling me I have to unlock him first. That’s fine but it’s going to take awhile without spending clams. Do any character secret concerts still work?
So I’m guessing that the top 2 people in my group of 30 who both have over 100 blammies in the first day are spending some serious bank. Millions of people divided by 30 doesn’t really mean anything if every group has hardcore premium players in them. I don’t mind spending a couple of bucks here and there but not that much!

Hi there… Can you please let me know at what point I might have agreed to have my game connect with my Facebook account. Since Phase 3 started, I was having issues loading the game. Every time I tried to start it, it would auto load Facebook as a part of the loading process and then crash. This went on for a while.
Eventually it loaded all the way. When it did, I noticed my Facebook profile photo was my user image on the leaderboard!
At no point have I ever connected this game with Facebook. In fact, I’ve purposely avoided it.
I am not happy that TinyCo have now taken it upon themselves to go ahead and do this on my behalf.

The only way it shows is if you did link it to save your game. You would have done that when first starting the game or along the lines. You would have had to go through all the multiple steps to link it up. Facebook is the ONLY way to access friends in this game.
They have not forced it on you. What you are seeing is a glitch. The Facebook app has gone live (so you can play from Facebook) and is messing with those that linked their profile to their Mobile games. More specifically on iOS. You have control of your game and where YOU link it to. You can even remove the Facebook link if you dont want friends to play with and relink it to email.
Just an FYI… the ONLY people that can see that image are YOUR Friends that you are linked to Facebook with. The rest usually just see an outline. Report any concerns DIRECTLY to TinyCo if you need further help on your account.
LikeLike
That’s not true. Just because it’s not supposed to happen, doesn’t mean it can’t. I never linked to my Facebook, I linked through G+ right at the beginning since I got the game from Google play, and purchases are through Google play, and at that time, no one on my Facebook had any intentions of playing, so it was the natural choice for me to go the g+ route. However, my Facebook picture did eventually appear one day around this time last year but I figured it just got pulled from Google+ as I had the same picture there. Shortly after that, a friend showed up as a neighbor which isn’t supposed to happen, and to confirm it got my picture off of Facebook and not G+, I changed my Google picture. So either it got linked through one of the Facebook app updates without directly telling me it was doing so, or it auto linked me to Facebook after getting an update and grabbing info off of my phone without explicitly asking me to make that connection, or when my friend finally started playing and she linked through Facebook and my info got pulled on her end. Either way I personally didn’t agree to it, but as I don’t really care, with the money I’ve spent on characters, more back-ups is better in my opinion, it’s not an issue for me as it is for others.
Now about the leaderboard pictures, I can see about half of the people in my group have pictures. Pictures of them, pictures of their children. I don’t know any of them and it’s easy for me to check as I only have one Facebook friend who plays. Personal pictures are in fact getting to other people even if TinyCo says they aren’t, or at least shouldn’t. They are. I’m looking right at them, and not one of them is of my only friend/neighbor as she and I are not in the same group. We both looked for each other. Cute kids on tricycles in one pic, by the way, photo finish I hope, the way all the best races end. If that pic belongs to someone here, i’m the guy at the beach next to the fire pit. Gimme a shout. Let me know who won.
Again, I don’t care that this happens since I don’t put anything on the net I don’t mind that the world sees or knows about, but I can see reasons others would be concerned. Personal data ending up in places it’s not supposed to be is a big deal. So maybe it’s better to say these things shouldn’t happen and to message TinyCo right away rather then saying they can’t happen and trying to prove them wrong, because it does happen. If they had an office in LA, I’d take my phone there and show them my leader board, load up my Facebook on one of their computers, and show them it’s happening by letting them go through the pictures to confirm, I don’t know these people, but I can see them, or I should have a dozen more neighbors to get free clams from every day.

Do me a favor and look at YOUR link for your game. Menu, Account, and see on the screen if it shows you signed in through g+ or if it shows you linked through Facebook. That will let you know what option you chose. You can always change it too.
All I am trying to tell you is NO ONE signed you in. That would be impossible. They would need your Facebook log in information to do so and I doubt you freely toss that around. Not to mention that logging in and out of Facebook is NOT a one click or “update” feature to link you. There are several steps. I know this personally as I swap around my multiple games on a daily basis between the 7 different games we have for the site. It is most definitely NOT just a one click. You have to first sync up to the Facebook, log into the Facebook with both email/name & password, then load the saved game and link it, then load it. More than just one tap.
As far as the pictures, I did check with TinyCo and those that are linked ONLY to Facebook will have their profile image appear to ONLY the 30 on that list. Again, ONLY if you linked your game to Facebook. Your name is still a random silly name and that is all anyone will see unless YOU have added them as a friend on your Facebook profile. Everyone else sees just the silly name. Those not linked with Facebook will see a shadow image.
So if you truly have concerns, take them up with TinyCo. I am just telling you that it is illegal for someone to just go around accessing someones account. Companies don’t just do that. Not to mention, the issue with them needing ALL your log in information. Just sayin.

To be honest, I’m not upset about the Leaderboard. While I might’ve spent some clams to simply purchase the Starlight Express skin, there’s no way I’m blowing a huge clam load to “win” my Leaderboard. My group already has a “super premium” player in 1st anyway, so I’m not stressing.
However, I’m bummed that they split up Belgard and Tomik. While Tiny Co. gave us nearly a month to earn Belgard (seriously, folks ~ a full month! Don’t stress!), there’s no way I’m taking the plunge on Tomik in the Mystery Box. I got tortuously burned during the Mobster event by a particularly cruel Mystery Box and swore them off forever. Going to be painful to only have one of a duo, but maybe Tomik will show up in the future again some day.
Just wish they had made a different decision. First time one of a duo has shown up in a Mystery Box. Bitch Brian & Bitch Stewie, Finn & Jack, Phineas & Barnaby… all could have been earned or acquired with a one-time purchase. Mystery Boxes are the pits.

That is because it is an “across the board option”. Some options exist AFTER you do items. It all depends on where you are in the game. 😉

Sorry bunny but I need to voice some frustration. Firstly, Belgard. The amount of glow sticks to get him is insane considering you have to spend glow sticks on decorations to unlock concerts, and the fact that regardless he’s 4000 glowsticks. It may take me this whole phase just to get enough to buy him. Second, Tomik. Miraculously I got him on the first try (THANK THE LORD!!!) but I imagine for other players they won’t be as lucky as me. When I buy characters I always make sure I buy ones that actually have something to do with the show. It’s really risky to buy the box because you could have to spend hundreds of clams to get him!! Tinyco should have made him just a buy able premium character. Lastly, THE DREADED LEADERBOARD. This is ridiculous! Only 1 player out of thirty gets the costume??????!!!!!! Are you kidding? I looked this morning and someone already had 300 Grammy looking things. You can’t compete with that. This is much worse than the godfather event leaderboard because there’s no lenience. This is also only phase 1 of the leaderboard and I’m dreading something else that’s important is also going to be added there!!!! Ugh….sorry bout that bunny. 😁

Keep stuff like this more for What The Deuce though. Try to keep vents of the main posts as they are here to help players… not to “yell at TinyCo” on so to speak. Remember, we are the Addicts… not TinyCo. We put a lot of time and effort into helping players. We don’t want that effort torn apart and to go to waste due to the comments turned into cutthroat instead of continuing the help for others. Make sense?
That being said, let’s address the usual “OMG PANIC” I see EVERY.SINGLE.EVENT… Lol.
Belgard: He is here for a month to earn towards. TinyCo drops Characters like this in the game so you know just what you need by Events end if you want them. “Long Term Character/ Final Character” group is what I call them. Honestly, I would like to know ahead of time what I need on big ticket Characters like this instead of in the last week. Gives me a good goal to reach for beyond the other stuff.
Tomik: He is in a Mystery Box… so Premium. There will always be premiums. Something has to pay for all this cool stuff to be offered in our games. It is a choice, not a demand. So up to you to try, just know that it is like playing a slot machine. Not everyone gets the payouts they want. 😉
Leaderboard: What TinyCo has done with the tweaks to this is AMAZING. Look at it closely, don’t assume. I mean REALLY look at what they have done (FAQ is awesome). YOU are grouped randomly with 30 others that “fit in same mold” as you from a gamer stand point. Different things looked at. So it is YOU against ONLY 30 others vs the MILLIONS of players playing this game. Much better odds. Not to mention that this is just Part 1. Part 2 you may get into a whole new group and same thing. ONLY 30 competing. This way LOTS more players have a chance (Million divided by 30 is a LOT of groups and chances). Stop being “nosy neighbor” and panicking how they are where they are. I will tell you… only a few options… Clams or Play. I know this because I just started playing and Concerts JUMPED me fast. Many others I play with are seeing the same. So no, they are not all just “cheaters”. They are players. If you do honestly feel something is off, tell TinyCo. Another cool thing is they ARE watching the game and WILL ban those not playing right. Done. 😉

I am still miffed I just missed out on Zoot Suit Stewie (got kicked out of the < 50000 rank on last day) so going hardcore on this Leaderboard. I haven't spent clams, but I'm tapping the female fans until my fingers bleed and my device batteries die. (the concert triggered female fans have a rare chance to drop a blammy) … i'm at 263 blammies by now. Second in my leaderboard is at 62 , so I hope the good start served as a shock and awe. Either way, I'll be home from work next week, so I'll spend as much time on the game as is needed to get Peter's skin.

I have seen a lot of complaints on the first post for phase 3, but I am loving this event. The buildings and characters are super cute. There was a certain glitchy concert that helped me get all the glow sticks I needed for Bergard, so that’s working for me. Also, I love that the leaderboards are different than the mobster event. I have a premium gamer in my group of 30, but then again, I honestly don’t care for the costume being offered anyway. Aaaaaand, I love watching Peter serenade the toad users. It cracks me up still. Yay peterpalooza!

My opinion is that tinyco really failed with this leaderbord. So many people play this game, and only 30 prices? The mobster event had it spaced out better. But a small amount of prices for the best of the best is one thing. But a 1000$ reward? That’s feels more like an insult than a price. Unless you’re a lvl1 player 1000$ isn’t worth a thing. If I would win that as a price it would really feel like tinyco was giving me the finger and saying “You as a player have no value for us.” If you look at the mobster event it takes a lot of work to even reach top 1000 and I can’t imagine how they could decide on a price like that

I think too many people are panicking and jumping on Pitchfork and Torch committee too soon.
The GROUP you are tucked into is a GROUP of 30. Think of how many millions play this game. That is a lot of groups of 30. 😉
This is just like a Premium Item or Challenge in the game. You do NOT have to participate unless you really want to. But know as with most Challenges/Premiums… you will have to put in the time or dime to do so.
It is limited though like I said… just 30. So to get even a basic prize for doing nothing… still cool.

YOU are grouped with 30 Random Players. Out of YOUR Group, the top player gets the costume. The amount of “groups of 30” vary on the amount of players actually playing this game… so… the amount given out isn’t really one I could determine… though I would say a LOT more than “30”.

Also, one more question, I have found that there is always one extra prize in the merch kiosk that isn’t required to hold a concert with the rock star nore required with a task later. (ex: Brian Totem pole), Can we ignore it, or is there a bigger prize for collecting them all?
