In addition to the Harold & Kumar Boost Gifting Event, we now have the Harold & Kumar's Bake Sale which is a Gifting Event. Find it on your Home Page. There are over 9 and a half days to complete the event.
The in game instructions which you get to from the help mark on the Home Page are pretty decent. You need to collect 15 gifts for Harold or Kumar. A winner will be chosen on November 12th. If you have enough gifts for the winner, you get a Wafflebot. You are allowed to choose both characters so it's possible to get a maximum of 5 Wafflebots without letting chance get in the way.
This event works just like the
Big Game Faceoff,
Underworld Showdown and
Terminator vs Rambo.
The gifts which are referred to as "munchies" are on the Free Gift Page. Harold is selling Christmas Cupcakes and Kumar is selling Brownies.
To guarantee that you get 5 Grand Prize items, you will need a total of 75 of each gift. You can ask your mafia to send you the gift of your choice from the "Ask" button on the Home Page Module. This is just spam and a waste of time as it directs your mafia members to their own Free Gift Page. There are much better ways to go about getting these gifts.
Use the Link-a-Nator by Team Spockholm and hope your mafia members send one back to you.
Accept Christmas Cupcakes and Brownies through the Facebook Request Page and the Zynga Message Center.
Track your progress on the Home Page. The number of rounds you have completed will display on the cupcake and brownie and there will be a progress bar next to each item letting you know how close to 15 you are.
Once you get 15 of either gift, a collect button will appear. You won't get anything and there isn't a popup but it will move you to the next round.
I accepted 17 gifts instead of 15 to see if there would be carry over and there is. This makes things easier as you won't need to stop collecting gifts in order to collect.
The fastest way to knock this event out is to use the Get-a-Nator and collect all the gifts at once. You will need a total of 150 gifts so if you've collected over 50 gifts for the day, you will need to wait until your free gift limit resets to finish. The event has only been out for a few hours and you can see many of my mafia members already made and posted their gift links with the Link-a-Nator.
I opened the remaining 58 Cupcakes I needed in the Bagman.
I returned to the Home Page to collect, and my cupcake has a 5 on it and I am finished with Harold.
Once you max out on Cupcakes or Brownies, they will convert to Mystery Bags.
I would have liked to entirely finish the event but I hit the 200 Free Gift limit for the day. In 11 hours I can accept the rest of the Brownies I need and not have to deal with this until November 12th when the winner is decided.
Well maybe there is something I can do about this. Because the Christmas Cupcakes and Brownies have such crappy stats, they are giftable.
To see if this would work, I sent my 75 Christmas Cupcakes to my energy account using the Spockholm Gift-a-Nator.
When I went to the Home Page of my energy account, I was maxed out. How easy is this? Zynga didn't think this one through and it should be a lesson not to make us spam for gifts with crappy stats.
If you do send gifts from your main account, I would make sure that you have 75 of each one in your inventory by Nov 12th. I'm not sure how Zynga goes about calculating how many gifts you collected and if they use the inventory rather than the home page collect button stats you could get shorted.
These events always have the same outcome. The timer runs out and people start freaking out that they did not receive their loot items. It usually takes a day or two (sometimes a little longer) to get the item but so far nobody has ever gotten screwed. I'm glad we can get 5 Wafflebots as the stats are awesome and it's a Henchmen. The Wafflebot is a featured character in the Harold & Kumar movie and is described as the "ultimate in baking technology".

Once you have collected 75 you can forward them to a friend through the inventory gifting page send 50 and 25 they can collect the 5 sets then send them to another friend ;)
ReplyDelete@anonymous, you don't want to do that because Zynga may go by how many you have in your inventory when calculating the results. You should get them this way through energy accounts that won't need 75 of each at the end. It's too risky to be without any as you may end up without your wafflebots.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how you changed the time when this was posted so it would appear that you posted it first. Nice illusion for you to appear more on top of things than you really are.
ReplyDelete@anonymous, I really wasn't on top of this one as it came out when I was sleeping. It was posted at 1:52 Las Vegas time and the event was out at 10 am. Maybe you looked at it from a different time zone but it's not possible to change posting times unless you make them later by re-posting it. I have no desire to prove I'm on top of everything. Since you didn't sign your name, I can only assume you are a bitter person who has a blog that nobody bothers to read and your goal is to make me look bad. It won't work, now go troll elsewhere.
ReplyDeletei've just tried gifting back and forth with my "spare" account and none counted (did this via wishlisting, not spock) - think it would be safest to actually collect as many as you think necessary - 150 over a week and a half shouldn't be too hard (and a nice break from swapping Chi building parts!)
ReplyDeleteWhats bagman and how do u use it?
ReplyDeletehi there what do the gifts of harold and kumar do. do they have a value or just a waste of time?
