Shady Basket Tactics

I have any baskets that rabbits drop sitting in my landing zone, with the colors separated from each other, and the landing zone is a decorative seasonal park (started with valentine's day, center got updated for saint patrick's day, and it's now Easter), with nothing else to tap near it, so people shouldn't get "fooled" but can easily see the baskets.

Though I should move my egg generator slightly further away from the basket area so people can see it and are encouraged to tap on it, but don't think I'm trying to trick them...

i don't try to scam people to giving me eggs and if they are willing to give me some i am grateful

the only thing that sucks when you collect you can only read 2 names out of 4 so i can see to return the favour later at sometime if someone is continually giving me eggs

Yes this! I think I've only been able to make out 2 of my neighbours names, I have no idea who the others are from! :evil:

I have tried enlarging but it makes no difference, I want to know who's giving me eggs. :(

I should be one of the donaters - if it's a blue basket.

I put both of mine in the landing zone, but easily separated, shouldn't be the front and center of the screen (at least I don't think so..). I also try to put one by the Town Hall, so it discourages graffiti. Graffiti doesn't help my neighbor, so I'd rather them not have to go near there.

Right now I don't have any baskets. But when I visit, I try to fill the blue ones at this point in time since I need pink to get gold.

Only had 1 basket in 3 days grrrrrrrr

I have some friends like this, I accidentally gave away some of my eggs yesterday :(

I would't call them friends, I would have them meet my delete button.

I've been to towns where the baskets were hidden behind huge buildings. Only the icon was visible.

And other towns where the landing zone was littered with baskets so that it was hard to move away without accidentally donating precious uncommons. I just skipped the town.

Actually, I had to do this in one of my towns. I had no idea at first that a basket could not be stored, and stupid me took it out. It was a feeder, and a friend is linked to it so I can feed her. I didn't want her to think I expected her to donate eggs, so had to hide the basket. I put it behind Costingtons. It wasn't until I visited from my main town that I realized just how that could make things worse.

These are impossible to hide once they're out of storage.

I would not assume that was a ruse to get a tap. I would assume they were trying not to.

Ah I see. :) Thanks for the insight, otherwise I would never have known. I have feeder towns as well and had also mistakenly put out baskets. What I do with them now is hide them in the farthest corner possible and try to make it look abandoned in a empty 'lot'.

It's possible for a player to donate more than one set of 50 eggs so when the basket's emptied there won't always be four friends' names showing.

What are these baskets you speak of? Haven't seen one in my town since Friday.

They drop randomly from bunnies. I think you can get some from tapping eggs in your friends towns too. Check your inventory. I've found several I didn't even know I had.


I put mine on the edge of town in a small area I put aside. I originally had them next to each other until I saw posts from people about tapping the wrong one. Now they're separated with a float between them. Looks nice and makes it easier for my friends.

I agree. It's really frustrating.
