Wow, that's awful and definitely sounds like something that you could submit a ticket over. If it were me, I'd post in the bugs thread and open a ticket with s8 so they get it first thing Tuesday morning. Unfortunately it won't help you right now but at least there's a possibility you might get the energy before the end of the event.
As of right now, the only way to get the weekly white Alicorns is to purchase them unless you have the Love Shack from the Feb 2013 Valentine's event. Some players have won a weekly Ali by watching the daily videos but those aren't available for everyone and some have never received one despite watching daily. The daily Alicorns are more plentiful and easier to get. Some events offer them as prizes, the Baron's Tent sometimes offers them (the Faerie Ali is there now), they can be crafted via the Mythic Research Center and of course they are occasionally put on sale at half price. With the Monster Hunt happening now, the MRC is your best bet for getting some daily Alis at no cost. The relevant info on the MRC and how to craft Alis can be found through the links in Post 1 of this thread.
It can take quite a while to build up a herd of Alis, I was level 50 for ages before I got most of mine and I can recall feeling frustrated during events sometimes due to lack of energy. But by slowly adding to your collection at whatever pace is comfortable for you, you'll eventually get your own herd. Playing daily and never missing an event are key in my opinion. Through daily play you can slowly accrue enough gems that purchasing them won't break your bank and sometimes events offer weekly energy droppers or white Alis for prizes.
Thanks..... long way to go for me
I quite like the Dark Unicorn for its' guaranteed trade ticket drop.
I have quite a few energy dropper so one more or less is not going to make much of a difference, but with the number of plots opening up lately, trade tickets/expansion permit droppers have been a great help.
Can anyone tell me whether the statues offered during MH events (in this case the Dark Unicorn Statue) drops tokens or just points.... and whether they work in future MH/LB events or only the current one?
