Preparation is the key really, especially for alts. What I want to do for my alts is burn through the quests as quickly as possible until it hits the timed quests. In order to do that you have to prepare a few main things, assuming the alt city is already running smoothly with a friends tavern, coins, supplies, goods etc., then you'll want to prepare a bank of FP's, enough production buildings, typically blacksmiths, and have the quest list.i've been playing this event at my leisure and find just getting to quest 43 just too time consuming unless you turn over the supply timers with diamonds etc etc....ditto Sloppyjoe above comments.
I like to have at least a couple hundred FP's in the bank before a big event starts so you have to spend the weeks/months prior to an event building up fp's, which is easy to go through the top of the hood and just donate daily to those leveling GB's. This will help not only burning through the first phase of the quests quickly but the latter part of the timed quests which are all Spend FP's that increase so you won't have to sign in more than once a day. Of course depending on what age one is in will determine how much fp's one would want to have ready, most of my alts are in IA so the demand is not as much.
If you don't play on Beta to get the quests yourself then the fan wiki does a good job of getting the quests listed before the events go live. So what I do before an event starts and after acquiring the quest list is highlight all the production tasks. Then I build as many blacksmiths as I can and set the productions accordingly, mainly for the 4, 8 and 24 hour ones of course. This of course works even better for the timed quests because you'll always be ahead of the game and the productions will just be there waiting for the quest instead of the other way around.
After that it's all mainly just general advice that can apply to any event really, like don't collect Traz when you know a quest will come up asking for units, don't aid or sit in taverns or collect tavern silver just before the event starts, don't burn through GE in one day as you can use it to complete quests asking for units, coins etc., make sure you have lots of goods for trading, blah blah blah stuff like that lol.
