What the? (Nightmares)

Wadebear speaks the truth!

I don't know whether this only works for skeletons followed by zombies, or whether it's just a coincidence that the same pattern worked for me.

I needed four more skeletons, and started my neighbour visits. I started working through neighbours' towns, dropping formless terrors wherever I could and looking for towns spawning skeletons to tap. I tapped three skeletons in one town, then I mostly avoided non-skeleton terrors but I did tap two zombies in two towns that were spawning zombies (i.e. four zombies in total) just for the heck of it.

I then found another town with skeletons, tapped one to updgrade my campfire, and returned to my Springfield. The campfire upgraded and then switched to requiring zombies, but instead of starting at zero it started at eight. Four would have made some sense, but eight is even weirder...
  • Oh, I should probably mention: In my other town - where I didn't mess up and hit the Campfire early - I had 6 Zombies before I started tapping them.

    While I was hunting Zombies for my B game I was dropping FTs in my A game. When I'm in the neighborhood I stop getting Nightmares in my town, and I hate it when my totals get out of sync. (OCD anyone? I've got plenty to go around....)
  • Oh, here's something else I just remembered...

    When I logged in this morning my Trophies in both towns had exclamation marks on them. I tapped them to see what was up, and the Campfire in the menus had exclamation marks on them. I tapped those and... Nothing.

    I figured that maybe it was because I force closed my games before I started so that the Daily Play Combos would come up without me having to go to Krustyland and back.
