Still trying to get the license, but yesterday I visited someones town and lost snakes. I never even clicked any snakes or bldgs. Seems that this will be a task for us to get the required items for our own towns and whack our own snakes...so far. I agree with Tatsumi81, with this whole Whacking event being broken. That's not to include all the other issues that are in the mist. I have collected eggs and I want to give some to my neighbors, but I fear losing snakes because I haven't even received the license to whack yet. I was planning on just releasing in the "Other Springfield" and take that loss when that task comes up so that they wouldn't lose any snakes.
I don't think it's broken.
I think we don't understand how to use it.
It seems to me that we are on the cusp with this post on finally understanding it.
If I'm connecting the dots correctly, Lisa is sent into your town to release snakes. That release shows up when you go into the neighbors town and suddenly lose snakes. You have to go and find those snakes. That is why you have to watch your snake number.
I tried this out and it happened in two towns. The first I lost 20 snakes, got them back. The second I lost 30 snakes, got them back.
I have no idea why snakes are disappearing from our own towns unless we have to go out and find the snakes in our neighbors towns. So evidently we lose snakes two ways (and it is still not clear if Lisa has anything to do with this).
But I do know that I was able to get my snakes back....however....be careful though because if you overwhack? You will lose extra snakes....grrr....
Again, not broken....we just don't have a full understanding of how to play the whacking game.
Lisa's job is 5 hours, so someone would need to have done the job times in order for you to lose that many snakes in that town. That's suspicious to me... either someone has a death wish upon you, or we're missing something else. I'm leaning more towards some random number generator.
But to add to something you mentioned, yes....we don't know any of these details because EA doesn't share these with us. I wish they would, as it would help a lot! I wish they'd open more communications between us, even if it's between a mod to share.
Not if they selected my town every single time. I don't think it's random but we need more testing.
I do think you are onto the answer now and figuring out how to play this event.
