I have not seen more crashes and thanks for any eggs you leave me. I’ll leave some in return.

I don’t know about “more often,” but it still crashes as often. I have to relogin at least once every single day, and it crashes (spinning donut that never resolves) four to five times a day, so I have to double click the home button, quit the process, and relaunch it.

I haven’t had any crashing issues. It does seem to stutter a bit more.
I distributed about 50 eggs to my doper friends today.
I never knew having my buildings vandalized would be so much fun. So glad they opened up the friends to Android users.

Mine starts displaying giant blocks of white space in my town, instead of my buildings. It does the same to others’ towns when I visit them, too. I end up having to reboot my tablet, so it’s probably only a problem on my end. Still - frustrating.
Now that I’m into the game a little more, I need to ask - how is it that you guys have so much _stuff_? Are you spending real-life money to get donuts for the bonus buildings? I know you’ve been playing longer, so that’s got to be part of it, but do you have any strategies to offer a relative newbie?

I have added you and will gladly take the eggs. I will return the favor(I have over 40 right now) later today.
Thanks.

Thanks for the list. When I get a chance I’ll go through and dump non-Dopers and add everyone.
This is turning into a full time job.

I’m using all the money I won in the Death Pool.

I’m having trouble adding anyone as friends, I keep getting the “Failed. Please retry” every time.

If you’ve added me I’ll take / give as well
I seem to be getting more eggs than snakes lately.

Well, you’ve made it onto my friends list and I’ll be passing out eggs later today, once I’ve built up the inventory a bit.

My name got left off the most recent lists, but I’m still in the game. Same name there, and I’ll be sending out invites to new players.

I’d also love some whacking day buddies now that us androids can visit friends.

Mine got left off too. I will be adding new people to my friends this evening. I have some eggs to deliver.

Today I’m giving everyone 4 eggs today. More tomorrow. I’ve added the new folks.
I unfortunately have developed [this glitch](http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Simpsons-Tapped-Out/After-Whacking-Day-Update-XP-not-increasing-with-pics/td-p/1004116) where I do not keep XP collected in my Springfield when leaving. I do keep XP collected at other Springfields. This has been frustrating. I have tried reinstalling and it’s still doing it. Ugh. Anyone else having this issue?

I was able to add some today and I deleted some non-Dopers. Go ahead and try me I have some room. I’ll try again tomorrow.
Dropping 200+ eggs right now. Hitting as many people as I can.

Just finished my nightly egg run. I felt kinda crummy as I was only able to drop off three or four per person. I might need to let my inventory build up a little next time.
