Gil Promos

Giant Snow Globe

On December 23, after tapping on Gil's Giant Snow Globe mark Giant snow globe! Giant snow globe! Step right up and gaze upon the big and awesome, super-stunning giant snow globe! Trust Ol' Gil. I'm not overselling this like the many loads of bunk I've oversold you in the past. It's an amazing item, as long as you're not claustrophobic, scared of heights (like me) and have a backyard as big as the gardens of Versailles. It says here that the base is solid gold and handcrafted... and, oh wow. You're not going to believe what's inside. A three-story historical 5-bedroom house perched on top of a fancy glacier! Seems shakier than this sales pitch. You'll have your own private little ice mountain! Careful when you're exploring. Polar bears love to play soccer with the round heads like you. But don't worry. Just hold off a couple of weeks 'til global warming puts a crimp in those critters' lives. Oh and since the house is teetering right on the edge of a cliff, I'd invest in a good home protection plan... and a parachute. That snow globe can house five generations of people and pets. That makes quite a Christmas scene. Don't do it for me. Do it for the poor little orphans, and the obese, bearded guy up North, and for undernourished elves that can't afford vitamins to grow. If the offer is accepted Good doing business with you, friend. You won't regret buying from Gil. And if you do, how 'bout buying some "regret" insurance to go along with your purchase? If the offer is declined I can't blame you for not buying. You're one of those odd-jobs that can't stand to have something wonderful in their life.

Starter Pack

On December 23 at 8am GMT, after completing the tutorial, and only if at level 5 or 6, and tapping on Gil's Starter Pack mark Pff. You think you're swimming in donuts but there's never nearly enough to buy all these cool things. I would've had more donuts but some of them fell into a pit while I was cleaning up Springfield. What do you mean by "a pit?" My stomach. Well Simpsons! You're in luck because Ol'Gil has a stash of some good stuff, including donuts! May I take this opportunity to say, Mmmmm, donuts? No, Dad! Not again! Gil, could we just get some donuts to replace what my dad lost, um... "in a pit?" No can do little lady! This is a package deal, but don't worry with these goodies your Springfield will dance right to level 9!  Cha-cha-cha! I started gambling with my life at 8, so why shouldn't you gamble to win even more donuts with these two Golden Scratch-R tickets! If the offer is accepted Thank you, good friend. With the bonus Gil gets from your purchase I'm going down to the eye bank and getting my eyes put back in my head... or someone else's! When you're blind, it's no time to be picky! Message You've been awarded 75 Donuts, 5,800 XP, 25,000 Cash and 2 Golden Scratch-R tickets! Message Your 2 Golden Scratch-R tickets are available in your inventory. Tap the Use button there to consume one. If the offer is declined So Ol' Gil's sales pitch didn't hook ya, huh? Guess you don't jump on great opportunities when they're sneakily flashed in front of your eyes.
