Board Thread:Tapped Out Help/@comment-173.240.24.197-20141022215456

I had this whole post typed up in detail and somehow lost it. It didn't post. At some point after the new event started, one of the characters (Marge) got one of the aliens attached to her head. I clicked it away and again it reappeared each time droppping what the aliens usually drop. I kept clicking each time and it would always reappear a second or two later like clockwork. I thought this was great although it was somewhat hard to keep up to her as she would still try and walk around the town oly stopping when you clicked on her. If you missed and your tap registered on a building or another character  you had to close that window and then tap the arrow in the uppper left corner to get back to where you could tap "Marge". By then, she was somewhere else a bit away from where you were so you had to click on her again to get her to stop. A short time after this started happening I noticed that it was happening on the Sea Captain as well!! By now I thought it had to be a "feature" since it being a glitch that happened on TWO characters for the SAME person seemed very unlikely. But, in doing some searching I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this type of 'feature/glitch ' or whatever it was. Then, I did something stupid. I had some space issues so I put the "Houseboat" in storage. Well, this of course stored the Sea Captain as well. When  I realized it, I took the "Houstboatoat out of storage.  To late, whatever had happened to cause this was gone when I took the Sea Captain out of storage.  It never came back for him.  If that wasn't bad enough.  The other day I accidentally lost the feature/glitch on the Marge character as well.  I had been avoiding giving her any tasks since I figured doing anything to her character might cause this feature/glitch to go away.  It did.  I forgot and gave her a task which blew out the feature/glitch. It never came back for her either (so far).

Ok, story time is over, has anyone had this or anything like it happen to them? I was able to get several prizes before losing whatever it was. I got the "Spooky House", a bunch of the "Spooky Wall(s)", a bunch of the "Human Test Subject" tube things, I was working my way toward the one thing I wanted which was the Grand Pumpkin but collecing the "probes" part of the event ended before I could get it...I don't remember the exact number of probes I had gotten but it was up around 50,000 or something like that and I was still about a quarter of the way (or a litle less) short on the progress bar toward getting it. I didn't realize until to late that the items you craft 'shared' the ingredients or the raw items need to make each item. So when I was crafting the tubes and the house and the walls...one or more of those used things I needed to make the Pumpkin...Had I not gotten those other items I would have had what I needed to get the Grand Pumpkin. Now I don't know if I "can" get it since I don't know if those same items drop that are needed to make it. Maybe they do since I just looked and that item "grand Pumpkin) is still open as something you can craft.  We'll see I guess  Although.  I'm seeing JUST how hard it is to get these things without having that little feature/glitch...  For some reason I'm not getting any Ammo dropping from any of the aliens either...none.  I haven't gotten one Ammo drop since the new change that just happened where we are collecting "ray guns" instead of probs.  I'm going to people's towns and I can't shoot down the stupid UFO since I don't have any ammo.  Yes, I know you can "buy" it but I used to have a ton of ammo and now I have none and I"m not getting any ammo in drops at all.  Maybe that's a glitch too....I gues some are good some are bad.

Anway, sorry this is so long. I didn't mean for it to be. If anyone has had something similar happn or knows anything about why this happpend or why I'm not getting any ammo drops, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.
