Until i have all the prizes unfortunately it is not worth me visiting friends, especially considering i am quite behind on my gold total
There is a thread on a bug you can use to your advantage to catch up. The bug is still there today after the 8/28 upgrade. Here is my explanation of the bug...
If all your outstanding nerds are attacking buildings, and the maximum time for the attack across them all is T hours, and you leave the game and come back after T hours, then you’ll be credited as if they all won! So for example, if starting from no nerds deployed, you send them on attacks and make sure that you never have them spend more than 12 hours, and then right before bed send as many nerds as your max, then through the day some of them will resolve and get paid out correctly and reported to you, but those final nerds and any remaining out are still working. Now wait more than 12 hours before you start the game again. You’ll get credited as if those remaining all won. Clearly to get the max out of this you’d want to attack random towns. I assume this bug was there from the start of the event, and probably accounts for so many people being way ahead without spending a single donut.
