I am still trying to add LOUNE and one more person to my friends list, but still keep getting that “something went wrong” error.

Grrrr

That’s not you. That’s the game. It hates LOUNE.

I have had my suspicions. Turned my phone on and off a few times and got nothing. Went to my iPad and got the update and donuts immediately.

Yeah, I got a dozen about an hour or two ago. As for leaving eggs, I’m lazy and just pick one person to leave a big pile to (usually someone lower level or with fewer snakes.) I can’t even be arsed to visit most my friends every day, as this snake whacking thing is getting tedious.

Can’t log in today either. I’ve been trying all day. This is starting to get really irritating.

I’ve been leaving generally 4 - 6 eggs at each town I visit.

I’m in the middle of building Duff Stadium and I have a good idea of what I want to do with that. I have some of the preliminary work laid out with the hedges but I might still shift them around depending on how the stadium works out. I want to add the brewery as well so I might cough up a little change for that.

To those who have been visiting my town, thank you for the eggs and I apologize for any dust or noise. I am currently undergoing renovations to better serve the people of Springfield. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I see some of you have that Texas Tycoon character (does he have a name?), but I don’t see him in the character collections. How did you get him?

Some people were very generous last night - thanks guys! I can report that even after opening a little over 120 eggs, still no doughnuts.

I accidentally bought him (D’oh! :smack:) yesterday while scrolling through the donut purchasables.

Evidently, he does have a name: [Richard Texan | Simpsons Wiki | Fandom](http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rich_Texan)

There’s now an option to have a confirmation box before you spend doughnuts. It’s saved me more than once over the past week when I’ve almost rushed taxes on buildings.

It’s a toggle on the option screen called ‘Confirm Donut Spend’.

Tap the construction icon. In the upper right corner of the construction box is an i. Tap that.
