Just curious how many others use the emoji double bonus during events?
I don't keep up with the forums, but this seems like a bug. It might work on the main game but I have so many offline bonuses that it does not work there. So in this event currently my biggest bonus guys are on engeneering. Within 2 seconds of them giving me the cash if I tap an emoji I'll get a 2nd payout when the timer hits. If you get really lucky you can get 3 bonus payouts per plus the main payout.
I'm not sure how many people know of this, just curious given few even read these forums, and I honestly doubt they'll do another bug fix or content addition.

I do, _when it's available_. It's not always available, even when it looks like it because...

...time warps of any sort, including the 2 second emoji warp, do not take offline production boosts into account. So if you've got offliners assigned, emojis will not help you. (There's a small window where if you have for example Aloha Michael at +90% offline production boost, then, the 2 second emoji warps still help a little. But that window is really really small.)

Hitting one emoji when your focus floor produces gives 2x which is equivalent to a +100% production boost. Two emoji will give 3x equivalent to +200% production boost. So that's the bounds of the window. Offliners less than that, emojis still matter. Offliners more than that, emojis don't matter.
This also applies to the warps from the Daily ToDo lists, both Main and Event, and the Daily Bonus: if you have offliners assigned, those warps are useless. **Correction:** Useless for production purposes. In Event, they still collect an hour's worth of T1 production which is helpful. So, offlines assigned higher than the approximate +300% window? I'm gonna need you to just, go ahead and collect those warps immediately for the T1, okay? Greeeeat.

It's well-known relatively speaking. Figured out early on, then discussed, then... I guess it's Office Space common knowledge now. Everyone knows sort of thing. That doesn't help newcomers clearly.
I find the best use of this mechanism is when you've leveled up to point where your focus floor is gaining some small % of the next level's target each cycle. Let's say 5%. If you do nothing you need 100% / 5% = 20 focus floor cycles to make the next level, times that by the focus floor cycle length and you've got how long you have to wait. But, if you can get some emoji taps in, each one is equivalent to that 5% production, so 10 emoji taps is 50% of the floor, cutting your waiting time in half.
I combine this with using the 5s floor as my fast floor: 2s is 40% of 5s, and an even larger slice of the cycle time when Loot Box time reducers (and character time reducers in rare circumstances) are in effect. The ratio of non-emoji-helps cycle time to emoji-helps cycle time is very high, which means all of the emoji can potentially help. I used to use the 10s floor, but, I've seen emoji occasionally last for much less than 10s, so sometimes one or two would be missed. And with the helps to doesn't help cycle time ratio being much less on the 10s floor, you spend a lot of time waiting with finger poised, instead of playing.
I think my record is a triple, on a few occasions. I think I've had a quad line up, but one or more of the emojis awarded flair instead. Let me tell you, that's a conflicting feeling. :-)

yes, the flair is double edged when you're trying to stack these bonuses. I'm holding my 1 hour warps for another few minutes. I got the 100% T1 bonus, and I'm about to buy the 100% from 500t2, so in that case, its worth waiting to get 4 from them rather than 2. Just trying to maximize next cycles challenge if it comes around.

I don't see how you have 500 T3 without using the 1 hour warps yet. Unless you hit 100 floors already, which you haven't. Unless you purchased 4 hour warps and used them. I am level 73 and have done 8 LB pulls. My T3 is 445 with no other upgrades purchased (floor or stapler). And I used the 3 warps.

ranked 27th in the event and I think 24th on the main game. My game name is whatever (and some numbers).

Just hit 500t2 and now am earning 4t1/5 seconds. So, sorry I can't post the screenshots again.

No biggie. Didn't realize your game name was different. You are ahead of me so it's possible. Seems like a spookies event plus all of the big 3 or 4. My KF Laura (level 9) got me top 5 last event, doesn't qualify in this one. Will not be top 50 most likely due to a lack of interest.

I have all of those big bonus characters maxed out, so I'm taking full advantage of her here. I rarely focus on a top 50 for the event and am really only pushing to keep rank in the main game. Seems pointless as it looks like half the people ahead of me have quit. I'm still amazed every day that this game is still active. I thought months ago it was going to get pulled because I can't imagine they make a lot on ads. Hell most events I only watch 1 ad just for the bonus and let the other 3 go. I rarely ever place outside the top 100 doing this.
