Lost my hungry snatchins

Updated the game this morning, there is a new 'competition' to who can banish the most hungry snatching.

I had an hour to spare so I banish 200 of the blighters which showed in my progress, just gone back in the game but my progress says 0 although all my rubber hammers have decreased.

Anyone else suffered this and is there anything I can do about it?

My progress saved ok. But I don't know how I'm doing relative to others. The right hand side of screen shows Mr X in first place with 168. Is anyone else's showing their place? Is it a competition among friends or every player?

Yes Mr X on 168 is showing in my window too, that's why I banished 200 to give me a lead, emailed GI support to see if they can get them back for me

I think Mr X is the winner of the last contest. That maybe why you "lost" your snatchins and weapons, the contest ended.

It was a new competition with a 24hr time window to banish as many snatchin as possible the comp is still running
