Just found out that the feds don't come until after I send Homer on strike. Now I'm way behind because I was keeping him busy on all the daily tunnel tasks. I'll send them as soon as I can neighbors! Doh!

I still haven't gotten to the point where I can send feds, either. I feel like my visits aren't doing any good to my neighbors until I get them, and I'm unable to repay the neighbors who are ahead of me. (John, Sue, Barry, Annette, Bob, bgfujino, Land0fComedy, CoffeeMars, and a few others have all been sending me feds. I should be able to return the favor by tomorrow!)

You mean the favor of coming into your town, not needing to move the screen even one pixel, tapping on the fed button three times and hitting the next arrow to go to another neighbor? You DO know that the feds aren't something we need to earn or win, right? There's a Neverending Supply of them. Every town. Three feds just sitting on that button. This is frighteningly easy and I cannot figure out why we would NOT tap the Feds. I think the only neighbors that won't do it after they reach that point in the questline are those who don't know they get the same number of boxes this way.

PLUS, we can send feds to every friend, all the way down the alphabet. It was harder when we had a finite number of gremaliens to drop. By the time we got to the end of our neighbors we had often run out. This event is neat. :)

That sounds lovely indeed, Annette! (I cannot wait to disassemble my brown house farm.) But even if it's the easiest visiting ever, it still seems like a favor to me because I get presents from the feds, and we don't get presents from handshakes.

The way I play is I send FEDS first to all my forum friends then what is left gets shared out. I make a note of those I did the day before and the ones I missed out get them the next day. So everyone ends up getting some just on alternate days for those I don't know. :D

But you never "run out" ... The game provides the button in every single town, with 3 preloaded Feds to give. They are not a limited supply. :)

With the never ending supply why not send them to everyone and not need the alternating days?

I feel terrible that I havent got to the point in Jingle Bell Wreck where I can send Feds to my neighbours yet ... hang tight, everyone, they'll be coming soon!

I don't think everyone realizes they get the same credit/presents for sending feds as they do when they tap presents. I changed my origin id from rsava2449 to 24rsava24 and I am hoping it helps.

I think you have a good point. Even though the game teaches you how to drop feds, the benefits aren't obvious unless you're paying close attention - or read this forum :D

I will be able to send Feds on my next rounds. Unless you're town is already full rest assured you get three from me. I just wish it was visable.

The forum has really helped me with the game. Some events tend to be a little confusing without the forum. I'm not trying to whine about the feds. Every friends/neighbors town I visit has feds. I've even tried to send feds in towns and couldn't because they had too many. Must be nice (now I am being a baby (; ).

I agree it is hard to see who sent feds, but none of my neighbors seem to be sending them. I've sent feds to all of my neighbors. I will give it another day or two then I am going to start editing my friends list.

A lot of people were not able to get in to the game, and this may be the reason why some of them aren't sending them yet (because they haven't been able to get in, and/or they haven't been able to progress to Jingle Bell Wreck part 9 yet).

I am trying to change my origin username because being towards the end of the friends list can't help matters. Some people give up after they collect the daily limit.

For this reason I make a point of alternating starting at the end and working towards the beginning so that if I run out of time due to parenthood issues I still cover my friends at least every other day. It works out to be more frequently than that because I always get at least 80% through my list.

I'm also one of those who got a late start because of some family issues, so I am a little play away from having Feds myself too. Finally came here to see what to do.

And where the heck did the surgical centers come from. Don't think I missed a day since they sprang up?
