I'm not saying people should be playing this game as much as (or more than) I do. But there is a difference between how much you get depending on how much you play.

And I just showed you that you could've gotten up to 64k pie-bombs if you had indeed played "A LOT" as you thought.

A simple way to maximize your collecting for events, is to play roughly every FOUR hours (which you an skip if you want to sleep a straight 8 hours or more). A majority of things have four hour times (or some multiple of it). Play: before work/school, during lunch, after work/school, then right before bed. If there's time, squeeze one more between work/school and bed.

On the flip side, playing ten to twenty times WITHIN a four hour period won't help you because the primary source of event currency is usually time limited roughly to one target (in this case, criminals) per five minutes, with a max of 80 (first 50 are visible, remaining 30 appear once you start tapping)... Usually. So, in that 6 hour 40 minute window (how long it takes to generate 80), you won't gain any additional targets if you play once/twice or a hundred times.
