Has any crew completed the Party Spree? It’s tough!

Our crew completed the party spree challenge. With the right approach, it’s doable. I hosted several cheap grab n go parties and attended at least 100 other cheap parties that I treated as grab n’ goes. The challenge notes number of parties attended rather than tossing charms and busting. Attending so many parties was exhausting. I would just collect the initial charms, then pop to the next cheap party over and over again.

Yes, my crew did the same…pop in and go on to the next cheap party. That seemed to be the strategy of most crews I think as you were literally partying with the same ppl all day long from all the other crews. Most found it kind of funny and we all had a good time laughing about it.

Our crew did it in less than a day.

Our crew completed the Party Spree by the 3rd day I think. Like @Cathylee said, i just popped in and out of parties for about 2 days. Completed 208 parties in 2 days. Other crew members picked up the rest. I also saw a lot of the same people hopping in and out for those 2 days.

What I found amazing, some of the parties were 3rd and 4th overflows. That was amazing and we all traveled on the same buses to save energy. I would look at the parties and just pick one that was already in progress and it would open and fill so fast. Saved post more parties. Like someone said, “it was exhausting.”

I realize that I don’t really care about joining a crew, probably because I don’t completely understand them, but correct me if I am reading and understanding your comment wrong. You treat all parties like a grab and go and leave as soon as the party starts and you collect your 25 charms. That just sounds like crew people are just greedy. If you go to the “cheap” parties like you say, most of the people that attend are probably non VIP players who desperately need those charms and charms that others toss. They struggle to get from milestone to milestone. Because of the crews greed to complete the “party spree”, it affects non crew member’s enjoyment of why they attended the party in the first place. I don’t think that is fair at all. If you want to treat parties that way, then only attend parties for crew members. There should be a choice when creating a party to select crew members only or no crew members allowed. Maybe I’m the only one that thinks this way, but if I create a party, I’m blocking all crew members from attending. Sorry, crew members need their own boundaries and not at the expense of others.

@Western_Willie Welcome to the forum. The following is my opinion based on my experience here on CW.
Parties are just parties - there has never been a requirement to toss charms, and no one should feel entitled to expect other players to spend their hard-earned gems, unless it’s explicitly spelled out in the details as a toss-required party.
If someone is struggling to progress from milestone to milestone, relying on others to toss charms in parties is actually part of the problem. That kind of short-term thinking for instant gratification only hurts players in the long run.
Your #1 priority should always be investing gems into your city, not burning them on charms at parties. You can lose a coin balance in an instant, but you can never lose a building or monument. A built-out city continuously pays you back with coins, gems, party passes, and high-value charms for as long as you play the game.
For as long as I can remember hosting parties, tossing has always been entirely optional with zero requirements, unless it’s a blitz that has its own prerequisites to enter. Crew members hopping in and out to hit event milestones aren’t taking anything away from non-crew players - everyone gets their base entry charms, and hosts still get their rooms filled to overflow. If people step back, look at the bigger picture, and focus on building their own city foundation rather than expecting others to fund their progress with charm tosses, they will do much better in CW.

Wow. That’s a bit harsh, Willie. I hope you reconsider blocking all crew members. I’m guessing that at least 60 percent of CW players joined a crew, so your CW experience could become a bit lonely. Most crew members are dedicated, motivated players who have a lot to offer apart from crew challenges. For the record, crew members didn’t design that challenge. CW is the culprit. Crew members sought to meet the challenge in a way to conserve party passes and gems. Maybe CW will challenge Crew members with a charm tossing goal. I don’t think you would want to miss out on that one.

@Western_Willie I’ve been to many, many, many parites on our Party Spree Crew Challenge and Yes we jump from party to party, in and out, but I don’t know of any parties crew members have gone to without throwing at least one charm before they pop out, some give many even before the party starts and very expensive charms at that! . I’m in a crew but a very poor VIP and need those charms as well, but I find most crew members are still very generous before we pop out of a party.

What @Night_Guy said.
People are responding to the crew challenges how CW wants them to, in overdrive mode, same as they do when they trot out yet another utterly pointless party buster pet, or new party venue that offers all the same charm opportunities that the farmhouse does (which they give you for nothing) but they charge up to 6000 gems for the privilege @Western_Willie
It’s a business, they want to make money - if they find buttons they can push to make people spend their hard earned (insert currency as appropriate) then they’ll do it
It costs 100 gems to start a crew of up to 5 people - if you want a crew of up to 25 people it’s 1000 gems. The crews have challenges, so far they’ve been accumulate coins or attend parties - the 1st two challenges were to be completed in one week - the party one’s stretch goal was 1000 parties in a week so of course people were bouncing around the low admission parties because the measure of a successful party is the charms are paid, not the meter is busted. Don’t blame the crew members blame CW for manipulating their behaviour - for 5 people to attend 1000 parties in a week doesn’t encourage staying the course of the party to bust the meter

Like Monopoly Buy Buy Buy (invest) in properties. Same holds true in Real Life, if U invest in Real Estate and have the Right Locations U will never go broke. BTW I’m sick of getting all the mass offers of the Mega Real Estate Folks trying to buy my Property in Real Life. So, Consider yourself Lucky CW isn’t calling U 2 Buy yours. LMAOROF
Kind of Funny, because I was there to see several that bounced so fast 2 get 2 another Party they left B4 the charms 4 the Party we were in had even been released. Then Folks post in Form wondering why they didn’t get credit 4 a party. Bahahahah Tears running down cheek.

Well said Night Guy.

Brondie some have, most haven’t. CW REALLY needs to show contributions of all members. Not just top 5. Some are in crews to get free prizes with little to no effort on their part. Right now our top 5 went to 1324 parties. We have 3 missing members for 3 weeks, 1 missing for 4, and the remaining 16 went to 368. So, it’s harder when most don’t help much or at all.

That’s the predicament with the crew I’m in right now. A 25 person crew and a handful are doing the work.

And some are going to quit crews or not really try just like their crewmates. Good luck to you. As long as no one can see they aren’t doing diddly squat or going to 5 or 6 parties (if that) it will stay that way.
