Egg-collection is back in business. Thanks so much to my egg donors. š I finally got the coliseum and tatum and with a bit of luck and help I still might get the hotel. I just need to skip work and social life the next few days. š
Anyway, iāve left 40-50 eggs each for **Fenris** , donspadeoa, ChrisT1701, **Labtrash** , jesteck13, wombatninetynine, Trevorthea890 and Mahaloth. If some of you are approaching a prize threshold let me know and Iāll prioritize you in my next egg drop.
Oh, and **Jynxster** , I have a friend request pending if you approve me (punkyb1980) we can exchange eggs. š

Iām still about 700ish away from getting the special Willie character. I will gratefully accept any egg donations you guys are willing to spare.

Your streets were paved with eggs by the time I got there, but I was able to find enough grass for my last 61 eggs. You should get cracking so that other kind friends can leave you some more. š

Iāve noticed this happen to me a couple times now but it appears that the snake-producing items like the stump and the rock normally work in 4 hour intervals but if a friend comes in and taps them for money and points, the time needed is lower, possibly based on when they are tapped. I hope I explained that adequately, but if these items are available for tapping when you visit someone, I recommend tapping them.

Unfortunate moment today. While distributing eggs to my Egg Buddy, I saw Milhouse crouching in fear of a snake. Unfortunately for Milhouse, it was directly in front of a gyrating Duff Man. Thatās right, Duff Man was molesting poor Milhouse. I think I need to call Wiggum and file a report.

Thanks, I did!
Iām further from the Willie character than I thought, and if the game ends in 2 days itās unlikely Iāll make it. But thatās ok. I still donāt understand how some folks were already past the last prize last week!
I canāt get the game to load up if Iām on the wifi at work, so I can only play a little in the morning, and more at night. Iāll be spreading some eggs around later while I watch TV!

I donāt know if anyone has mentioned it before, but thereās an Android emulator called Bluestacks that you can use to play on your computer. Itās a little slow, the ātappingā isnāt the easiest thing with a moving target, and you canāt zoom out or in, but itās an option if you canāt use your phone or tablet. Thereās also an issue (for me, at least) when you try to leave the game - you click the arrow to leave, it asks you if you want to, you click yesā¦ and then nothing happens. You can get out by closing the program, but the next time you use your phone or tablet it will say the game didnāt save. If you wait about 30 seconds between your last action and closing, you should be safe to chose the play anyway option.

I may have mispoken too soon. For some reason, I seemed to have gotten a faster refresh time with these, but it didnāt happen for me just now.

FYI, Iāve also got all the prizes and donāt need more eggs, so give 'em to those that need 'em.
I have to say, whacking snakes is fun and all, but squashing zombies was somehow moreā¦ satisfying

When you click on money in a friendās Springfield it means that they have money waiting and when you click on it it starts the timer again. So you should click on the snake rocks or big money buildings. I canāt find the message board again where I read that so no cite.
Oh, and if youāre giving away free eggs Iām always open. I still have an outside chance at the motel with help but I know there are others who are more needy.
