maximizing bells for both you and your neighbor

When are you supposed to get the cannon? I've got Homer sitting on the tunnel hatch, but so far, no scorecard for bells unless I go to visit my neighbours, and no Phase 2 prize list :-o

After Homer finishes the standing on tunnel quest, you'll get another quest to collect elves, and after that, you get the cannon (and this is where phase 2 starts for real, with the prize list and everything else).
