You will easily be able to do it, I've bought the tree trunk thingy aswell and I already have 1,700 snakes without visiting friends.

Well you seem to be in time then. According to lissa's post (the sticky one) ...

As of April 11, you have 28 days until the event ends on May 9. You need 12,500 Snakes get all the prizes. You need to earn about 450 Snakes per day to finish on May 8th (being safe and finishing a day early!)

... you need 450 snakes per day. So after 4 days you're supposed to have around 1800. Which you basically have. I have 400 now. So I am already short by 1400.

PLUS there are vanishing 5 every once in a while (which seems to be lisa's quest to release snakes).

As long as you keep track of how many snakes you had before entering a town and whack any that go missing plus your 5 or 10 you will be fine. It's a pain but it works I visit all my friends and am up over 5k snakes by following that method.

Yeah that's what I tried but that obviously didn't work. There were no more snakes to whack left in that town (except for maybe 2 or 3 that I didn't see). I mean I lost like 50 snakes just by entering this town. C'mon, this can impossibly be intended.

there's also chance if you visiting town who buy all the donuts premium (i mean snake event premium like stump/rock/log/speaker etc.) they will make you lose more snakes, i have a friend who buy all the prize up to 12.500 and buy all the log/rock/etc. and when i go in i lose 90 snakes immediately.. i can only regain about half of it, and because i don't want it to happen anymore i deleted the friend and find new one, if it also helps i think it's because he already have all/ theory people saying that snake premium item make neighbor lose more snakes, and also before i deleted him he already 2 days not online

I just lost over 300 snakes visiting my first town of the day. Really really not happy.

This is not true.

I have over half my friends with every premium item because they are "completist" and have to have everything. They do not cause snake loss, I've tested it because I've been keeping a log for 3 days now. The snake loss is not consistent.

Except....

In jail broken devices, those towns that I know are jail broken consistently take 10-15 snakes from me every single time I visit. However, there is no rhyme or reason to any of this so it could just be a coincidence.

How could you possibly know which ones are jailbroken? Jailbroken is a coincidence because I still lose snakes even in towns of people who just started and are on Android.

Iv been losing snakes myself as I go to friends but is still come up ahead by a large amount! But it sounds like some people are getting a lot more taking away then Iam? I wonder why this is?

I did say "the ones that I know are jailbroken".

Do I seriously need to explain more? I know they are jailbroken because I was told they were jailbroken by the people who own the towns. I also said it is probably a coincidence.

:roll:

To be fair, sometimes it's incredibly obvious who's jailbroken.

Lots of people have tons of premium items, even multiples of stuff. But when a player has max land, but hasn't bothered to clear trash or create a town, and all the premium buildings are stacked along one of the edges or just randomly strewn about...? Yeah. That's somebody who tapped through free stuff and didn't care enough to even do anything with it.
