No, that was just some unlucky coincidence: I discovered a online site that provided those gif ready to download. And a few weeks later it was down because the owned didn't pay the hosting cost. And so we didn't have a source anymore.

I never really was a fan of the gifs because they render poorly, especially on wikia, especially when scaled down. I just looked at the pages containing the gifs, they look definitely better than they did a year ago because wikia staff made some tweaks to the scaling of gifs(I'm a bit to lazy to search the link to the technical update now). However they still don't look good and only allow full transparency or none (best seen with the blue and red lights in File:SPD Blimp Animated.gif).

They certainly do look much better from what I recall. I remember lots of grey "artifacts" all over the place. Interesting. Sometimes it did seamed the animation for the building was different even though no sombrero was present, but it was always very little time to notice the differences until I went to the next neighbour. I don't know how the animations really look and differ. I just saw that there are two of them and they are selected based on the building job. Theoretically they could be two animations showing exactly the same, but I thought that would be very unlikely. Why go to all the trouble implementing such a feature if no one can see it!?

There's only "one" way to animate the building, and that is the Assault the Bandit Fort job of those seven characters, the "problem" is that all of them should make the sombrero appear, which was never seen in the times I saw the differences.

Anyway, one of them is just the building empty and a tumbleweed rolling down the stairs to just disappear behind the wall; the other is just with the bandits appearing, the one that stands the most is a bandit showing up from behind the wall.

I (finally) added the daily challenges section, though commented since I cannot distinguish what exactly are those challenges rewarding, so whenever you can...
