One final item explaining the “missing snakes” problem:

I’ll be out distributing eggs soon.

I’ve tried to confirm a friend-request from you three times now and finally, it went through. The servers really make me wanna tear my hair out sometimes.

I haven’t got it yet but apparently the 3rd prize (400 snakes) gets you a whacking license that let’s you whack 5 snakes per town per day. There’s also a better license that increases the limit to 10 per day, but I think that costs 50 donuts.
As I’m on android I currently have noone in my friends list. I’m going to start adding people from **Intergalactic Gladiator** ’s list above, if anyone else can add me my username is **dctrekkie46**

I’m about to go through my friends list and limit it to SDMB players. If I accidentally delete you, let me know. All my friends get eggs.

I’ve been dropping off a couple of eggs to each of you guys daily. I don’t really have all that many yet, so I can’t be more generous!

Agreed! I’m loving the whacking mode too.
Question - I play on the iPad, but if I install this on my phone, can I play the same account on both devices? For those times when I need to sneak in a whack while on the go.

I think you should be able to. I recently upgraded to a new iPad, and for a while had the game on both devices. As long as you’re using the same Origin sign-on, you should be okay.

I’ve been sending out eggs as I get them. I’ve been kind of random, but they’re all going out. Wacking the snakes is good fun but when my kids see it they ask “What’s Wacking Day?” Sigh.

Gave tons of eggs to:
Jesus…(something)
Labtrash
USCDiver
I put them by your Whacking Banners or in a nice open area.

I’m pretty much down to just SDMB members, and I just want to say - you guys rock!

Someone dropped and egg somewhere hidden and I can’t find it. Still tells me I have one egg left to find but it is nowhere. Don’t plant eggs behind buildings!

Oops. That may have been me. Maybe the brown house behind the bowling alley.

That might have been me - it looked like it would let me put one on top of the school, which I thought was great, but after I left it, I realized it ended up behind it!

It was actually hiding behind the whacking day sign. Found out the eggs don’t show up when you hide the buildings or decorations.

I’m trying to hit up all the Dopers with eggs and, if possible, I leave them close to Springfield Elementary. Is it just me or does the game seem to crash more often now?

I had someone hide a couple of eggs on me. They will show up through buildings when you those, but you have to look carefully.
I would guess that eggs are classified as decorations and go transparent along with any other decoration it hides behind, but I haven’t tested that out.
