User blog:Mutant Peacock/A Look Back on 2018 in TSTO: Major Events and First Multi-Event.

This is still a work in progress which I will update overtime, for now share what you thought of on last year's major events in the comments below.

It has been just over a year since I last done a blog post but instead of reviewing each event on a post, it will all be in one post. This post is about the Major Events of 2018 and the first Multi-Event in 2018 leading into 2019. Please note that this post contains opinions which you may or may not agree with.

The Major Events and first Multi-Event of 2018 are:
 * Bart Royale
 * The Springfield Jobs
 * Itchy & Scratchy Land
 * Moe's Ark
 * Treehouse of Horror XXIX / Halloween 2018
 * A Simpsons Christmas Special / Christmas 2018

Bart Royale
Ah Bart Royale, the major event that kick starts 2018 with a bang just like the first Major Events in previous years' including 2017's Destination Springfield which introduced the Springfield Airport and some overseas items, 2016's Burns' Casino which introduced casinos and casino games to our towns, and 2015's Superheroes that gave us superheroes and supervillains along with lairs, houses, and super buildings and decorations. What did Bart Royale have to offer aside from being based around the episodes "At Long Last Leave", "Homer Goes to Prep School", and "THOH XXVII's Dry Hard segment"? This is the event which pitted the kids and adults against each other over the ownership of a new playground. It introduced some new things to TSTO such as the Free Land Tokens and the bonus areas of events' buildings and decorations. this event also introduced items of post apocalyptic and off the grid survival themes as well as destroying some of Springfield's landmarks.

The good points

 * New and returning items were available to unlock and purchase to build an Outlands and apocalypse districts in Springfield.
 * New characters introduced are either current Springfield residents or battle warriors to join in the fight for what they believe is rightfully theirs (a new playground).
 * Returning characters came back who are scary or tough or both which suited the event's theme.
 * New costumes fitted in with the fighting and combat style of the event.
 * Returning costumes with some that helped to fight for their side and others that added to the apocalypse theme.
 * New buildings included bases, derelict buildings and places to get food and entertainment.
 * Returning buildings added to the battle and end of the world atmosphere in Springfield.
 * New facades introduced which included destroyed versions of Springfield's locations.
