Lots and lots of eggs this morning. Thank you guys! š And lots of eggs for me means lots of eggs for you.
I have a work event tonight, but will make sure to make a round to those of you most in need before bedtime. š
Iāve got a bit of the little engine that could going on when it comes to reaching the hotel: āI think I can, I think I canā¦ā

Thanks everyone! Iāve had a lot of eggs left for me over the last few days. Iām nowhere near getting any of the big prizes, but I do love whacking! š
So, not sure whoās leaving them all (270 last night alone!!), but thanks to all.

Thanks to all for the eggs.
I decided to build more housing instead of the penitentiary this morning. Guess Iām a liberal in Tapped Out too.

I know the feeling. Once I get everything and rebuild my town, I plan on funding public education with all available decorations. š

Left eggs for JohnnyQuad, Ladyroxi, and 1701. Iām now at 12468 and Iām so close to that Sleezy Motel that I can taste it. What was the ammount of snakes that needed to be whacked for the final box of donuts at the end? I canāt find it in the thread.

For every 1000 snakes you get after the motel, you get a Whack Box which gives you a chance of money or donuts. There are 10 Whack Boxes in total, so youād need to get 22,500 snakes to get the last one.
Whack Box odds:

Iām about 280 snakes away from the motel. I might just finish today. š

Aha thanks.

I tried to sign my name in eggs, but only got the HA to fit in the small area. Then I just threw some more around.

Someone "signedā one of my open areas with a rather suggestive pic last night.
As for what it was, letās just say when I tapped it to get snakes, it got _longer_.
I went thru every one of my 90+ friends last night, trying for at least 4 or 5 snakes in each. It took HOURS. No wonder Iām behind.

I saw the HA but I couldnāt figure out who it came from. Iām not a detective like Batmanā¦ Iām more of a scientist, like Batman.

I saw that, it was quite impressive.

I have all the items, so Iām trying to help as many people as I can in these last few day. I was able to look to see how many eggs each of my friends have by sending Lisa to whack in other towns - it shows how many each player has accumulated - but itās not up to date. I did two drops to Intergalactic Gladiator and it didnāt update after the first, even though the all their eggs had been whacked.
So, Iām wondering if we can make a closer real-time list, with just the Tapped Out user name and how many eggs you have and what prize youāre shooting for (maybe with a friendly reminder of how many eggs you need), or if you no longer need any eggs. Something like:
kaargh - no eggs needed
or
karrgh - 12128 - hoping for motel (12500 eggs)
I just donāt want to be handing off eggs to people who donāt need them.
