Do not get Declaration of Independence if you want lots of collection items for 86-88

As I really have no other idea for a solution, I just keep asking questions that maybe help:

do you have the full moon quests? (I had those first, then a day later realized there was another event button in between the others to the right and a new quest on the left.)
Do you see the new roamers in your friends manors? as well as the pilgrim snatchin? (whatsiname - the one, that wants the hats) How does your giftlist look? any Pilgrim hat/tea/silvercoin/anthem gift? any of those requested on your wall? Can you gift those? (We had those already a few days before the event, I think) or do you have empty requests as if not updated? ...

To answer your questions (and I really appreciate you're trying to help!):

Yes, I'm having the full moon quest at the moment (at this moment We're No Slouches) The quest & event just popped up yesterday. I still have 12 days time to finish the event now.

I did see the new roamers in my friend's manor (at least on her iPad) but not if I visit her from my iPad (I think it's called Uncle Snatch)
She can give me Pilgrim hat (it's in her gift list) and the hat is not in my list. But I'm able to give friends coins & tea required to charge the coll #86-88.

So far, most of my friends are busy asking the flaming skull. I've been requested lots and lots of time to open/send the chests from the wall. And I think the chests came from the snatch as it didn't come from other evil creatures roaming on some manors.

I tried contacting GI support but I have problems sending my request (GI is probably too busy to accept my request) So....I really don't know what to do.

The Faberge egg works now! There's a "use" button, and the charm will run for 7 days.

I was on several turtle runs and was getting a Pilgrim's Chest each time I traded a Pilgram hat with Uncle Snatch. However after I obtain the reward "Declaration of Independence", Uncle Snatch is now named Sly Uncle and no longer gives the chest every time with turtle on.

Regretting it now as collection 86-88 gave good experience points... it's sorta like the new Hearts of Africa collection. I had planned to charged lots of the collections to level up quickly ...

Hi, I charged the D of E, but can still visit friends and find Uncle Snatch. He disappears when banished but I found 2 neighbours who each have him so can go back and forth!!

I do the same thing! I don't mess with Sly Uncle and only do business with Uncle Snatch!

First time poster...I'm also having problems with the 4th of July event...no event pop-up or uncle snatch. I do have the full moon stuff, and have restarted and powered off completely. Waiting to hear back from support. I'd be grateful for any additional ideas...I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun!!

Really? Cool! How did you know? Did you fire up yours just now?

Yes, when I realized that the Easter eggs could be eaten again, I checked the Faberge charm - and true enough, it had a "use" button on it. So I used it, and it's been running for the past 4 days now, with another 3 days to go. It's great! Gives 25% extra experience and 25% extra coins.

I'm super-stacked on charms right now, with the Faberge and the Faithful heart running at the same time, the Cornucopia, the turtle, and the flowers all together (except for the chance flower because it doesn't like the turtle!). Wooo!

I'm having a hard time to get Robert Livingston, Red arrow and the snatchin Indian, got plenty of the others but those three never shows up.. how can I get them?

Here are a few ways to get them:

1. You can place them on your Wish list or check your friend's collection lists.

2. If they have several you can ask if they would be willing to do a trade. Be sure to offer them something they don't have or something of a similar value though. Because the collection offers so much extra energy it might be hard to get a trade, but you never know.:-)

3. Request your friends to send you pilgrim hats, so you can vanish uncle snatch and get more chests. Put your request at the top of your wall (you can't put it on your wish list), so friends who stop by and read your wall can see that is what you want.

4. Stop by all your friend's manors and write on their wall politely asking them to send you a pilgrim hat if they are able to gift it.
Hint: type your message on the notepad app on the iPad, then copy it. When you type it there you can type more text than what MM lets you type. Then when you visit your friend's manor, tap in the spot where you would type your message and the word "paste" should po up. Hit it and your message appears! No need to continue to retype the request on each individual wall.

Hope this helps!

I got quite a few by sending out my chests--over 80 -- yesterday. I have good friends and got over 120 chests back, out of that 5 RL.
