A Race To The Finish...

Over on the official EA forums there's an interesting competition about to kick off featuring a total of 33 players, including me.

The competition, which was set up by Annette (please don't invade her with friend requests) aims to pit players against each other to see who can finish the game first. Now I know a lot of you are saying "how can you finish the game, they add new stuff all the time?", well to explain that I've taken the information and rules from the forum and posted them here for your convenience.

The Challenge
Start a brand-new town, from scratch, and take the town to the top-level by December 31st. If nobody has reached the top at that time, the winner of the challenge will be the person who has made the most progress. 

The Definitions 
"Town" includes Krustyland and Squidport AND FP Prizes. 
"Reaching the Top Level" means that on or before December 31st, you can say "I have nothing in my Task Book except Special-Event-Related tasks"

The Rules 

• No use of real life money, gift-cards, non-game prizes, amazon awards, etc. (You get the point.) 
• No use of glitches. (details in third post in this thread) 
• No use of feeder towns, or "extra" towns or whatever you call it. (You get the point.) (EXCEPTION: Your own main town may be added as a neighbor.) 
• Every competing town must become a mutual neighbor to every other competing town. 
• Use of walkthroughs is permitted.
