Please drop several balls in the same town

Prev1
I just drop them back and forth between my own towns, that way I know they're there and I know I'll look for them. If you don't have the option to do that, I suggest dropping them on smaller, but active, towns. They're a lot harder to find in my main town since it's so big.

    As the balls aren't exactly plentiful at the moment I'm working my way through my neighbours and dropping them equally on each one of them so that they all get some from me.

    I try and give my neighbours the same amount. Anyway why not turn the lights off the decorations that way you can scour the place better I do that when looking for fans or things from previous events.

    I'm fed up with the whole balls dropping fiasco. I've bought balls, dropped balls and received precisely 2 in return

    The problem is that most of the time you have no idea who dropped the balls in your town so you can't repay the favour.

    Agree,it was a really bad move not to have the neighbour name each time a ball is dropped in your town.

    I would love to return the favor but not knowing who I have just had to drop them in random neighbour towns.

    If you dropped a ball in my town & never received one back I apologise. :(

    I only had one in-game notification telling me that a player as dropped a ball in my town once. I would have like it if they were more notification telling me who dropped the balls and when.

    The problem is that for some reason people want balls in their town.

    Who cares who gets the balls as you get nothing personally by having balls in your town. I personally would prefer that people didn't give me balls so i don't have to look for them. Someone else can have the tedious job of finding the balls.

    They all go towards the same counter so who cares if your town has no balls.

    Occasionally I get notifications about who dropped balls in my town, but most of the time I don't. I try to leave balls after playing a tapball game, and other than that, just keep going through my neighbor list. But this morning I got a notification that someone who wasn't even a neighbor dropped a ball. I was puzzled until I realized they must have dropped balls going through the matchmaking option. I immediately sent this magnanimous person a neighbor request!

    I had a game notification on my iphone last night that a neighbor had dropped a ball in my town. It is the only one I've seen the whole event, and I repaid that neighbor immediately. Otherwise, I'm passing them around to active neighbors and those who have sent stuff my way in previous events for sure.

    One nice thing about being so new to the game is if somebody does leave a ball they're really easy to find.
