7166137's blog: "Happy Hours"

When people run Happy Hours, they usually run PowerUp blings at the same time. A lot of people will just run all the powerups they have at the beginning and just let them ride. There are a few things that can be taken into consideration so as to get the most benefits for them. I categorize the Powerups into three categories.

1. Those that affect LIKES
2. Those that affect RATES
3. Miscellaneous

I'll start with the likes. Rock Stars and Likenados both reset the ability for people to LIKE you, but when both are running, you get more points. SO, for this purpose, if POINTS are what you want (including fubucks), then simply start both when your Happy Hour starts. If the number of LIKES is more important, then start the STAR first (Night or Rock), then start a Likenado half way through. Either way, you do get 2 hours with both running and the extra points, but the second way will get you more likes, but only 30 minutes of this will be during your Happy Hour. Carefully weigh the difference.

Second, I'll work on RATES. I already have a Blog that goes into great detail about how to get the most out of the Big Three, BOOMERANG, FAMPLIFER and BIG BANG. I won't repeat it all here, but I suggest you read it. I strongly recomment that you never start any two or all three of these at the same time, but BOOMERANG first, FAMPLIFIER Second, BIG BANG. You get the biggest effect with all three running so my personal recommendation is to run the BIG BANG at the beginning of the Happy Hour, because it lasts one hour. The FAMPLIFIER would be run about 20 minutes prior to your Happy Hour, and BOOMERANG could be started 40 to 60 minutes prior. If you don't want to start the Powerups Early, you could start the BOOMERANG at the beginning of the Happy Hour, then the FAMPLIFIER 10 to 20 minutes later, and the BIG BANG 10 to 20 minutes after that. This way you get THREE resets all during your Happy Hour. The first method, you still get all the resets, but not all during the Happy Hour, the points will be best during the Happy Hour that way.

Third, Miscellaneous. DOUBLE POINTS, MAKE IT RAIN (5x Fubucks) and CHERRY BOMB.

• DOUBLE POINTS. You ALWAYS want to start this at least 30 seconds, if not one full minute AFTER the Happy Hour starts. This is because the Happy Hour Bonus comes sometimes late AFTER the Happy Hours ends. Once in a great while, it happened to me even, the Bonus was credited during the last second of the Happy Hour. You want the bonus points to be DOUBLED!
• MAKE IT RAIN. You wan to run this so it's going when the most points are coming in. If you combine this with the above LIKES, you could start it immediately after the STAR, or as soon as your Happy Hour begins.
• CHERRY BOMB. I have a Blog about this, and several videos. If you're a beginner, you might want to run the CHERRY BOMB and nothing else, that way you're not distracted. If you are an advanced player, you could start the other powerups you want to start at the onset of your happy hour a few seconds early, then the CHERRY BOMB right as it starts, THEN run the DOUBLE POINTS after your SECOND bomb.

The above schedule is my personal favorite. It gives your profile all the resets, and it gets you ALL THREE running during your Happy Hour.

I am saving this and will continue writing. I want people to comment with what they want me to add including images that show "Schedules" that you might consider to show how they all run together.

I will now write about running Multiple Happy Hours.

When running consecutive Happy Hours, This is the best chance to get all the Happy Hour Points achievements, because the typical bonus is counted AFTER the happy hour ends, so if you are also running the next Happy Hour, you get the Bonus Points counting during the SECOND Happy Hour. There are even more things to consider with consecutive Happy Hours.

LIKES:

• You could run both the STAR and LIKENADO at the beginning of the first and let them ride. 
• You could run the STAR at the beginning of the first Happy Hour and the LIKENADO at the beginning of the second.

RATES without a BIG BANG

• If you run just a BOOMERANG and FAMPLIFER, you could start the BOOMERANG at the beginning of the first, and the FAMPLIFIER 30 minutes later.
• You could run the BOOMERANG 30 minutes early, and the FAMPLIFIER when the first Happy Hour begins.

RATES with a BIG BANG:

• You could start a Big Bang at the beginning of the first Happy Hour and the FAMPLIFIER 20 minutes early, and a Boomerang 40 to 50 minutes early. The second Happy Hour would not have the Big Bang running, but the bonus from the first would count toward the second.
• You could start the Big Bang so it runs during parts of both Happy Hours. The FAMPLIFIER in this case, would start at the beginning of the first Happy Hour, and the Boomerang would start 30 minutes early.
• Two BIG BANGS could be run, but you don't want to start the second one until at least 15 minutes after the first one ends. If you start the first BIG BANG ten minutes early, it will end ten minutes before the first Happy Hour ends, and you could then run a second one ten minutes after the second happy hour begins. The FAMPLIFIER would start 20 minutes earlier or 30 minutes before the first Happy Hour, and the BOOMERANG Would start ONE HOUR before the first Happy Hour. This graphic shows how I actually did it one time.

MISCELLANEOUS:

• One DOUBLE POINTS so the bonus for the first is doubled for points in the second hour. You could start it half way through the first Happy Hour.
• Two DOUBLE POINTS always start the first one late, the second one will be forced to be late so at least get the first one right.
• MAKE IT RAIN. Since it lasts two hours, start it at the beginning but AFTER the Double Point sif you're running two because you want the bonus from BOTH Happy Hours to get the benefits from the 5x Fubucks.
• CHERRY BOMB. You can run two, and depending on your experience, you could run it with any of the combinations explained so far, and sometime, you might just skip a second one because that's two whole hours of having to stay in your seat. More power to you if you can pull that off.
