hmmm. i might be able to get another 2k to get the willy thing. i'm in. i think i have 200 eggs to drop. i can split 100/100 to 2 people that request them.

I was wondering if it was being extended. That is certainly going to upset some people that were giving up because they thought the event ended yesterday/today.

I'm still pushing for 12500.. Let's work some trades.. I'll drop some on Miyu shortly. Anyone else able to trade?

I'll take you up on a 100 egg trade.

I got two whacking boxes, the first one had 1000 dollars, the second one had two donuts.

so six more days of this?

What the heck, I'm in!

Motherfucker!

Good thing the characters that have whacking day tasks I had all available as they recently finished the task I had them do yesterday.

Done dropping 60 on miyu and 100 on deftones. I have about 400 I can trade away at this point. 4 people at 100 each sounds good as that way more people can be helped.

My current total is 10518. I tried to use Lisa to look at other peoples towns, but I think there is a lag updating as yesterday, miyu had said he was 300 away from 3000 at one point, but Lisa was showing he was well over 500 eggs away.

LOL!

At least I'm level 29 now, and close to getting another free donut because of the XP bonus.

So... I guess I'm trying to get Willy now. I will try to get as many snakes as I can today and see from there what I can do.

Sooo... You're back in?

I'll enter the exchange pool. Just 50 eggs to give out now but if someone wants to work with me, I'd appreciate it. I feel like we're on the cusp of some sort of organizational scheme, like people rotate egg drops somehow so everyone is covered. I can't keep up with the thread enough to get that going but I'd be open to it.

ok. headed on now to do a drop.

I can exchange 25 with you dogmatica.

No keep me out of the egg drops. I bought the motel and don't give a shit about the whacking boxes. Ill still participate though and drop eggs as needed. No need to reciprocate though.

I had an idea earlier this week but thought it was too late. Not sure if it's still possible.

The easiest way to get snakes, besides from your own town, is visiting friends. Of course when friends have big towns it can become chore. In my case I have a couple of friends that were reset so their towns were empty. I always visited them because of that.

So my idea was, what if I could create 100 fake Origin accounts, all of them will be empty of course. That would be an easy and fast way to get 500 snakes every day. The big work would be to create the 100 accounts of course. But again, if we split the work, and everyone really cooperates. Just an idea, in case anyone is interested.

What the heck? The app downloads an update this morning, but we're still playing? And I had taken Apu and Ned off their 24-hour snake tasks though not the others.

I guess I'll play for the whack boxes, but they're reportedly not nearly as good as the other goals.

I dropped my 20 eggs on JasonF just for coming up with the line "The snake is a lie."

WAKE UP, MORDRED! I thought you were on Texas time.

Doh! I spent 240 donuts on Tatum yesterday. Oh well. I'm back now, was on vacation, so can do some trades. I have 1000 eggs up for grabs. I'm going for the motel then will stop.

I bet a lot of people spent donuts yesterday to get prizes they wanted. I imagine it upset a bunch of people when they posted the extension today. Glad I was out of donuts or I'd probably have bought the motel as well. But I'm working my way to it via trades and snakes in my town and othres as I visit.

Ugh. I wanted to buy a snake rock but didn't want to use up all of my 40 donuts, so I went to the store thinking I could spend some of my in-game money and convert that into donuts.

Instead, I turned 5 donuts into $500 in-game cash.

Are donuts easier to come by as you go up in levels?

Not that I've seen. you might get some here and there for cleaning up the town with Homer or Lisa.. Or maybe a few as a reward for levelling up. I wish they'd give you some on a regular basis to get some of the premium items that can only be gotten with donuts. But then they couldn't milk people for real money that have a desire to get all of the buildings, characters, etc.

Speaking if premium items, there are two more this update. A Sprawl Mart and an open air stage.

Also you can now purchase the Springfield Park enterance sign and sections of a cobblestone wall.

You can check out my Springfield to see the two premium items.

Yeah, I think leveling up is really the only consistent way to get donuts. That's why it's so frustrating for people to have spent theirs on snake goals they thought they were going to miss. Fortunately, on my own game I only spent on a snake stump, which in retrospect I might not have needed but has saved me a lot of stress this week.

It would be nice of EA to offer donuts in the whackboxes at a higher rate as a makeup for people using them at the "last minute" yesterday but I doubt that will happen.

It's an intriguing idea. Wouldn't you need multiple e-mail addresses, though?

The real catch is that I have tons of neighbors to keep up with as is.

In case someone doesn't want to have the new info spoiled.

You hilarious mother fuckers! I've been whacking for the past 15 minutes and am only halfway done or so. 834 eggs were dropped on me! It was almost impossible to even hit the snakes at first because I'd accidentally hit an egg, get the popup that Springfield was full of snakes, and then repeat ad infinitum.

I'm on Austin time. I got up around 9:45

So I'm not sure what it was, but I think the large number of eggs dropped on me last night was causing the game to crash instantly. It would load up the town, but then dump me out before I got to see the eggs. Tried from 11 until 2am. Figured I'd just have to uninstall the game, but after the update this morning it worked fine.

Thanks so much for everything guys!

In other oddness, in my furious whacking I passed 4250 pretty quickly, but never saw a notification for the Stadium. Not sure if it was because there was no room for it, or if I just clicked through the notification super fast.

BTW, I've got about 350 eggs now. I just dropped 60 or so on Deftones, but who else needs 'em? I'd love to repay the people who dropped on me if they need them as well.

Also, I cleared out my town of eggs completely (I thought) and then realized there are still 29 hidden away somewhere.

Gathered 1000 snakes after earning the motel and got my first whackbox!

In it was $1000 cash, or a dollar per snake.

Yeah, there's a known issue of not being able to get back into your game if a single person drops like 200+ on you at a time, so I guess this is similar. Glad to hear you were awake and aware.

Probably a fast clickthrough would be my guess.

Someone dropped like a dozen eggs on me hidden behind a long row of buildings. They're free eggs so I won't complain, but I might have torn my hair out if one hadn't been peeking out between buildings. In your case, though, people were desperate to find space.

I do like shirtless Willie's task.. Wrestle a snake. 60 minute task.. Reward is 1 snake. Much better, as long as I check once an hour, than his usual task of inject snake venom which is a 12 hour task for 5 snakes.

I'm back in the chase I guess, just bought the premium log, 30 snakes every 4 hours. Going for Willy first.

Anyone wants to trade 100 eggs?
