Thanks, now that I finally can take screenshots and know how to post them I added a Gallery section to my profile page and am adding shots of different parts of my Springfield to it. The only downside is that it takes a second to grab the screenshot (my screenshot app for my tablet requires me to hit the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for a second to get the screenshot) so catching an animation precisely when I want is hard. I like the screenshot you have of your Twonicorn in mid spew, I tried to do the same but the best I got was one near the end as the rainbow is going away. Maybe I'll have to have someone else tap on my Twonicorn and then I can time the screenshot more precisely (right now I have to tap something to start the animation and then rush to hit the power and volume down buttons simultaneously, not easy as they are on opposite sides of the back edge of my Kindle Fire HDX8.9, I love the tablet and can use the buttons just fine most of the time but a single button on the front would be much easier to hit quickly). If I had a newer computer with Windows 8 then I could just run the app on my laptop and hit the PrntScrn button and get an instant screengrab at any time.

I look forward to being neighborienoos for a good long time. I held off on getting neighbors for the first week I was playing as I wanted to be sure I was going to keep playing long term before getting a bunch of neighbors (that, and I had no idea how important they are to the game, especially in the early levels where Cash is always being spent as soon as you get enough for the next building). Now, I can't imagine playing it without a full 100 plus neighbors (you can go over 100 if you add some Facebook friends via Facebook instead of their Origin Username, as Facebook friends don't count against the limit for some reason) and all the help they provide, especially during Events where having neighbors, especially good neighbors who play at least once or twice a day, is essential. I only let go of someone if they've been gone for a week or more, or repeatedly are gone for 2 or 3 days (basically if I can't do anything when I visit I check to see how long since they've played). I really don't care what Level someone is, especially if they are making steady progress every day, or how they choose to play or even if they vandalize my buildings (that used to bother me as it would ruin my Righteousness rating, but as soon as I finally got access to the Training Walls I just bought a ton of them so that it could never go below 5 Stars no matter what) or trash my Castles with a Cheaters 20s (I do it too, but mostly against random towns as that gives way more Elixir and Gold than attacking my neighborienoos). As long as you play consistently, preferably several times a day but even just once or twice a day is fine (I know some people actually have jobs and family that take up most of their time, but I have plenty of free time and this game has become a part of my daily pain management).
