I’ve just dumped my entire egg reserve on your town all 444 of them!!  
Hope get them before it ends!!!

Whatever I have I’ll send over to you when I get home today.

Since **Fenris** ’s town is completely crowded with eggs, I left my remaining 100-150 with **Hamlet**. Hope it helps. 🙂

I emptied my Springfield out of about 1/2 the eggs that I’ve been left and then lost connectivity (I hate the wifi here and cell signals don’t penetrate this building that’s apparently dual-use as a bomb shelter) but I got about 75 eggs for you Hamlet, so far. Won’t be able to get them to you for a couple of hours though (unless I can reconnect with wifi earlier)

I haven’t whacked anything this often since I finally got a girlfriend. Thanks for the eggs guys. I’m pouring everything I get back to Fenris.

I’ll be home in 30 minutes and will have a steady connection–I managed to get you about 35 before I lost service again (urge to kill…rising!)

Anyway, expect another 75/100

I gave fenris the 45 I had this morning. I just left you five and I’ll leave you any others I get tonight. Of course now that I don’t need snakes I seem to get more snakes.

I’m at 7355, so I’m really, REALLY close to getting Willie if anyone has spares.

Also–the snake-speakers give a good boost to XP and $$–are they worth spending donuts on?

Damn you sure know how to move them. You left my measly 6881 in the dust. I dropped of my leftovers (not much this time, sorry).

I dumped a bunch on you and went through a ton of other springfields…I’m now at 7400 so I need about 150 more to get Willie…hopefully a few of the big rollers can top us off. 🙂

I dropped about 30 in one of your longer streets. Sorry it couldn’t be more.

Yes. it is over tonight. i am about 45 shy of the colisem. I have a few eggs to drop off, then one last sweep through my towns and I am done. It did get to be a bit of a slog at the end, but I really want that coliseum.

Sorry about the typos, stupid phone makes it hard to see and even more difficult to.edit what you are typing.

I’m not going to make it to Willie tonight. I’ll drop the last bit of eggs on you. Good luck.

I got the coliseum by the skin of my teeth. Thank you for all the eggs. I hope my drops helped a few of you reach your goals. Special thanks to my egg buddy, Trion!

All I know are doughnuts, money and XP at this point. What are eggs and how do I get them?

Anyway, I have Homer, Lisa, Cletus and (I think) Ned on tasks at this point that won’t be completed until sometime tomorrow (Homer Snake Hunt, Lisa Next Week’s homework, etc). Is that bad?

I assume that it isn’t unless you want to spend doughnuts on rapidity, however I only have ten of them at this point. I am willing to wait for the advancements…can I do that without funneling mass (real) money into the game? I just have to wait longer?
