No egg-donuts for me either.

Might not be true all the time, but I seem to get a lot more snakes than eggs when I whack snakes entranced by the speakers.

What speakers? Forgive my ignorance.

Eggs seem to be classified as decorations, so if one is hidden behind another decoration, both go transparent to the same degree when decorations are hidden and you still can’t find them. If they were behind a building, you would be able to see it through the building when buildings are hidden.
Okay, I found 'em. A couple tips for anyone who can’t find eggs. First, **Trion** is correct about the decorations. However, if you tap a decoration in Move mode, it grays out and anything hidden behind it can be seen. Laborious, but effective. Second, start with trees, especially the ones near roads or unused space.

Snake speakers. A premium item available during Whacking Day.

I haven’t been able to connect all morning. I keep getting a “Can’t connect to server” error. I am grumpy. I have snakes to whack, damn you.

I was able to log in about 20 minutes ago. How fortuitous that my daughter is sick and I had to come home and play the game, er, work from home and take care of her.

I’ve been getting in fine and have been periodically distributing eggs. However, I am not measuring my eggs with a metric scale. I am only giving out a standard crap-ton of eggs.

Well shoot now I’m confused. Does anyone have a conversion chart?

No real conversions, but I go by this:
one
a couple
a few
some
a lot
a whole lot
a load
a buttload
a crapload
a shitload
a ton
a crap-ton
a shit-ton
a metric crap-ton
a metric shit-ton
a cubic buttload
a cubic shitload
a fuck-ton
a metric fuck-ton
a cubic fuck-ton \<\< the most of anything you can have
Therefore, by the above chart, I have more eggs to disperse than **LOUNE**
There are inconsistencies in the above chart, but it’s the one _ **I** _ use, so there…😃

I just spent 90 minutes dropping off a buttload of eggs to people’s Springfields. I am too tired to continue. off to bed. Will unload the rest tomorrow. Happy whacking!

I got a few free donuts this morning with the update wishing me a Happy Whacking Day. I’m assuming it is because of the “we told you there were donuts in the eggs, but there aren’t or they’re so rare as to be negligible so here are some free ones!”
I’ll take it.
And thanks to all who have given me eggs. There is still one I can’t find, no matter how invisible I make the buildings and trees. You sneaky bastard!

I just got the free donuts, too. Cool. This is nice because they seem to be a bit miserly with the donuts, imo.

I also received donuts. I got 12, which I assume is standard. I assume it is an apology for not including donuts in the eggs, which obviously was an error.
I dumped about 125 eggs all around last night and I’m pretty careful about placement.
I also want to thank whoever it was that literally filled my town with eggs. I had 127 eggs placed in the matter of an hour or so of me checking.
I try to dump eggs every night from 8-11 PM Eastern. I usually drop about 30 on each person I visit. Make for a nice surprise.

I wonder if eggs will start giving out doughnuts now. Only one way to find out. If everyone will leave me all their eggs, I’ll make a complete study of the situation.
Or we could all just keep our eyes open and report if we get any. But … no, that other thing works better. The thing were I get all the eggs. 😉
I’m having one of those days where it seems like all my snakes turn to eggs when I whack them. Good news for you guys.

I keep having issues with my screen not showing some of the buildings and just putting big white squares everywhere. It was making it hard to do egg drops last night, so I’ll double my efforts tonight. I have about 100 to give out!
