Neighbor Etiquette

I've been dropping when and where I can with a few back and forth between friends that happen to be on at that time. I think clearing them is ridiculously hard! I'm having a lot of lag with this update and scrolling to catch up to the blobs has me clicking on random houses and characters that I then have to clear that menu and exit out of to continue hunting! I'm guessing my neighbours are having the same isssues so I'm patient. :)

I'm seriously thinking of replacing some of my roads with pavement and seeing if that helps track the blobs as well as the nightmares (which we know it does) and go from there.

What is the maximum blobs you can have in your town? I know I've cleared them and seen a couple names pop up at a time but I haven't been able to count how many came from each name.

Edit for grammar :)
