The Simpsons: Tapped Out Marge at the Bat content update/Gameplay

Marge at the Bat

Marge at the Bat Pt. 1

After the user logs in on April 10th: Smithers! Get your pasty-white dress shirt in my office right this minute! I'm already here, sir. Gazing at you silently like I do all night while you sleep. Well, stop being creepy and get me Aristotle Amadopolis! We have a feud that needs settling. I too have been here the whole time, with the aid of several bugs I've planted in your office. Task: Make Burns Get Into a Net Worth Measuring Contest (4h, Control Building, Aristotle Amadopolis) If the user has Smithers: Task: Make Smithers Scrub the Office for Bugs (4h, Control Building) Curse you, Amadopolis, you swarthy Greek salad! We'll settle this dispute once again with a baseball game. Only this time my team will win! But your team won the last time. It did? Jeez, my memory isn't what it used to be. I should do more crossword puzzles. A rematch would be my pleasure. I'll see you on the blood diamond. Curse you, you swarthy Greek salad! Oh God, now I'm repeating myself? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 2

After tapping on Smithers' exclamation mark: So, sir, would you like me to call up the ringers again? Ringers? No, that didn't work last time. Actually, it did. You won, remember? No, of course you don't. I've seen a lot of baseball movies. What we need is a band of misfits: a nerd, a fat guy, an angry guy, and a coach who doesn't care if we win. How many baseball movies have you seen exactly? Just one so far: the Bad News Bears. I hope Part Two is as good as Part One. If the user has Smithers: Task: Make Smithers Print Out Sign-Up Sheets (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Burns Watch The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (4h, Control Building) Dreck! Utter dreck! We'll never win with a team of misfits. So you want to go with the ringers then? No, that's just what you say before you add a cool guy and a girl to your roster, causing the team to gel. Don't you know anything about baseball? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Burns is forming a baseball team again? Baseball was lame then, and it's lamer now! It's like the old man's run out of ideas. Or some old men somewhere have. We should totally not sign up for this. Look, Mindy signed up in the slot for "Girl". There's a girl on the team. Sign me up! Task: Make Lenny Sign Up as the "Nerd" (4h, Control Building) If the user has Barney: Task: Make Barney Sign Up as the "Fatty" (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Comic Book Guy Sign Up as the "Angry Guy" (4h, Control Building) If the user has Disco Stu: Task: Make Disco Stu Sign Up as the "Cool Guy" (4h, Control Building) These selections are really iffy. Disco Stu is the "cool guy"? Disco Stu is hurt by your line of questioning. And Comic Book Guy is the "angry guy"? He seems harmless. Just wait until someone makes a canonical mistake on the message boards. I'll be on them like a hawk. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 4

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: You're playing sports with Mindy from work?! Over my dead body! Well, it's me playing sports... so it's probably going to result in MY dead body. Mr. Burns! I demand you take Mindy off the team. But we need a woman. You can't have a team of misfits without at least one woman. And no more than one woman. Well the only woman Homer is going to be breaking a sweat around is yours truly! Task: Make Marge Sign Up For The Team (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Burns Fire Mindy Without Cause (4h, Control Building) Thank you, Mr. Burns. I probably should have mentioned earlier that I know nothing about playing baseball. You can't play? Then excellent, you'll be the coach! What?! Those who can't do, teach. Or coach. All that matters is that they're in a position of power over those who know what they're doing. Like non-writing Executive Producers? Exactly. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 5

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: All right, team! Who wants to catch some fly balls? And as a unrelated question, can anyone here hit fly balls? What's going on here?! You call this a practice? I did in the email I sent out to everyone. They'll have plenty of time to learn to catch and hit in the game. Practice is about fleshing out the characters. The nerd should be missing plays because he's watching other people play baseball on his laptop. And the angry guy should just be getting really mad and yelling at everyone. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! That's more like it. Task: Make Team Members Practice in Weird Ways [x3] (4h, Control Building) Characters: Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, Comic Book Guy, Disco Stu, Baseball Jasper, Moe, Zutroy Excellent. I like how the cool guy spiked the Gatorade when no one was looking. He did what now? Disco Stu has an issue with alcoholism too. Now I want everyone to go home and get into giant arguments with their loved ones. Then tomorrow I want the best player on the team to quit, but change his mind at the last minute because of something his dad says. Great practice, coach! But I didn't even get to bring out my orange slices. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 6

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Our team is ready. I found out our nerd only got an 1100 on his SATs. Can you help me, Lisa? I don't think I should. I turned into a real monster that week I coached Bart's team. But you won the championships. Actually, we lost. You should do more crosswords, Mom. Please, I need your help. The game is tomorrow and I haven't even started slicing oranges yet. Well, I guess I could crunch some stats with Sabermetrics. Great, and after you eat you can help me with the team. Task: Make Lisa Crunch the Numbers (4h, Simpson House) Task: Make Marge Prepare Orange Slices (4h, Simpson House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 7

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark: All right, team! I've got a good feeling about today. This game is going to be as good as Bad News Bears Go To Japan! Actually, Mr. Burns, I ran the numbers and our chance of winning today is zero. Which, coincidentally, is the Rotten Tomatoes score for Bad News Bears Go To Japan. Young lady, I've had it up to here with your pessimism. And your hip 1990s "big data". The Bad News Bears won, didn't they? Actually, they famously lost. Curse my memory! Does anyone know what positions they're supposed to play? Task: Make Marge Manage the Bullpen (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Burns Do Crosswords (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Team Members Fall Apart [x3] (4h, Control Building) Characters: Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, Comic Book Guy, Disco Stu, Baseball Jasper, Moe, Zutroy My God, this is a disaster! I know. We're down by twenty runs, and there's only one inning left. I was talking about these orange slices. I meant to make the first slice core-to-core, but I must have done it around the middle. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge at the Bat Pt. 8

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Okay Homer, this is your moment to shine. All you have to do to win the game is take a ball to the head like last time. *oof* Homer! Are you okay? Did we win? No, we're not at bat yet. You let the ball hit you in the head while you were fielding. I think you have a concussion. I'm going to sleep for a little now. Task: Make Homer Sleep During His Concussion (4h, Control Building) Task: Make Team Members Lose Game [x3] (4h, Control Building) Characters: Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, Comic Book Guy, Disco Stu, Baseball Jasper, Moe, Zutroy) Task: Make Marge Cut More Oranges While Worrying About Homer (4h, Control Building) I'm sorry, Mr. Burns. Your team just lost. In that case, I'll stop doing this crossword. Ah yes, my brain's already starting to forget things. And 3-2-1... We won! *sigh* Well, that game was humiliating. Yeah. But on the upside, we lost by the exact number of runs that I predicted. And I can confirm that, because I bet that we'd lose by that much and won a bunch of money! Is Homer still sleeping? It looks like it. But at least he's not snoring anymore. Quest reward: 200 and 20
