Second Fiddle

Second Fiddle Pt. 1

After the user logs in on November 17th: Template:Tapped Out Kent Brockman Icon ...with the melting of the polar ice caps and the opening of the Northwest Passage, Canada now has a new shipping lane which will allow its international trade to increase dramatically. See, Lisa, climate change isn't all bad. It's been good for Canada. Yes, Dad, the impending end of our existence on Earth does have a benefit for Canada. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer country. Pfft. They'll never be as great as America. But, Dad, technically Canada is in America. Since when? I thought Puerto Rico was supposed to be the next state. Canada isn't a state. It's in America the same way that Mexico is in America. What?! Canada brought Mexico in with it? This is a geographic catastrophe of hemispheric proportions! I must report this to the local authorities. Task: Make Homer Resent Canada (6s, Simpson House) Task: Make Lisa Be Happy for Canada (6s, Simpson House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Second Fiddle Pt. 2

After completing Second Fiddle Pt. 1: Mr. Mayor, we have a problem. It's Canada. Is she pregnant? It's not mine. My son and I have the same DNA, I swear. I believe you...but Canada is not a woman. It's the newest threat to our lives and livelihoods. And our newest state. Our newest what—? Canada has opened the Northwest Passage and that's going to jeopardize our position as the number one country in the whole world. I, er, highly doubt that. And even if it's true, would it be so bad to be number two in the whole world? Name one silver medalist, ever. Sure. There was that one guy, uh, what was his name again... And don't forget about the foam finger industry! Dear God, you're right! We can't be number two. Think of the bathroom jokes at our expense. *titters* I can't think of anything else now. I'll call an emergency town meeting. Tell my secretary to make the necessary arrangements. And to sell all my stock in foam finger companies. Wait, what are you doing? What all American patriots do when their country is at risk nowadays; dress up like Uncle Sam and yell at strangers. Task: Make Homer Protest Something About Canada (6s, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) If the user has Quimby: Task: Make Quimby Call a Town Meeting (6s, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) People of Springfield, we are at a crossroads. Canada's Northwest Passage threatens to make it more important than the U.S.A. Will we stand back and let Canada have its day for a change or will we stand up and fight? I say we send those commies to an early grave! To be clear, Canadians are not communists. They're more socially liberal than us on many issues but— Send those social liberals to an early grave! Look, in my experience, most Canadians are nice people who don't really deserve to be randomly murdered. We just need a response to their opening of the Northwest Passage. What about that land to the East of Springfield Heights? What about it? Well, I mean...did anyone notice the other day when it suddenly changed a whole bunch? I dunno, seems kinda important is all... By my calculations the area surrounding our town has been transformed, with the growing and the expanding and the new landhoiven! New land? That sounds like it'll free up lots of space for all the buildings and decorations in town. Who cares about that? Don't you read the forums?! No! The six-year-old girl is right again! We shall embark on a journey and create a new passage, the NorthEAST Passage! Thank you... But I'm eight. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Fail of Two Cities

A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 1

After completing Second Fiddle Pt. 2: I'm told that your town needs a guide through the lands to the North. Oh great, another Lisa costume. At least it's not another Homer costume. I think we've lost count of how many of those there are. What can I say? The people want what the people want. I'll have you know I'm a completely separate character. The next thing I know, you'll have me reading a book and not eating something I love. Actually, pioneering doesn't leave me much time to read, unless it's a map. A Lisa who doesn't like books?! This changes everything. I will answer your noble call for volunteers to make this deadly trek. I wasn't asking for volunteers. It's too dangerous to bring outsiders. Also, my name is Connie, not Lisa. And don't eat buffalo. I'm sorry, little girl, but a resident of Springfield needs to accompany you in order for the town to legally lay claim to the Northeast Passage. Fine, but I will not be held responsible for their deaths if they don't survive the journey. Hmm. In that case, we better send three. Task: Collect Wagon Wheels [x195] If the user has Quimby: Task: Make Quimby Ask for Volunteers (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) Task: Make Homer Volunteer (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) If the user has Wiggum: Task: Make Wiggum Volunteer (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) If the user has Moe: Task: Make Moe Volunteer (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) Did everyone pack supplies like I asked? Yep. I got a month's worth of booze ready for travel. And I picked up two family packs from Krusty Burger, which should work out great because these burgers are already a month old! And I brought all the extra ammo we had in the armory. I hope nothing in Springfield needs shooting while we're gone. That's it?! What about medicine, water or clothing? I said I had a month's worth of booze. Look, we all played the computer game simulation of this as kids, and everyone knows that all you need for this trip are bullets. Everything else we'll just find glowing next to a bush. Nature always provides. Which way to the general store? The Kwik-E-Mart? There must be at least one around here. Sometimes there are dozens. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 2

After completing A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 1: Help me load up the wagon. That Kwik-E-Mart was well stocked. And the proprietor repeatedly thanked me and asked me to return. What is all this stuff? This "stuff" is what's going to keep us alive. Cool, a dartboard! I didn't even think about entertainment, good call Connie. That's a spare wagon wheel, not a dartboard. And what's this, more booze? Then why was you giving me a hard time about bringing two barrels of Duff? This is whiskey. It's the closest thing they had to medicine. Just what the doctor ordered. Task: Collect Wagon Wheels [x155] Task: Make Connie Appleseed Embark on the Journey (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) Task: Make Homer Drink Medicinal Whiskey (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) If the user has Wiggum: Task: Make Wiggum Play Darts With the Spare Axle (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) If the user has Moe: Task: Make Moe Serve Drinks (4h, Town Hall, Court House, International Court of Justice or Homes) So, Connie, tell me...is it true that there are donuts growing in them thar hills of the Northeast Passage? What? No, that's absurd. But that was the whole reason I volunteered! I thought you volunteered to help keep U.S.A. number one? Well, yeah. And donuts, too. A hearty meal'll cure what ails ya. Ahh! Who the heck are you? That's Cookie. He's our chuckwagon cook. I should have introduced you earlier, he mostly stays in the back of the wagon until dinner time. Pleased to meet ya. Now, this is gonna be a long and grueling trip, so who's up for some grub? Me, me! I'll take a ribeye, medium rare, a lobster tail, and a double portion of fries. And for dessert...how's your tiramisu? I gots biscuits and I gots beans. This is going to be a long and grueling trip. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 3

After completing A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 2: The food, it's all gone! What? That's impossible! Yeah, all I ate was the beans. *waves hand in front of face* We know. And all I ate was the flour. That was all the food we had! Those supplies were supposed to last us an entire month! No problem. *fires shot* I just bagged us a buffalo. But...we're miles from the nearest buffalo herd. What about the ones pulling our wagon? Those are our oxen! And we need two to pull this wagon. Relax. The one that's left will pull twice as hard. Now that he's seen what happened to his buddy. Task: Collect Wagon Wheels [x115] Task: Make Connie Appleseed Make Do With One Ox (4h, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) Task: Make Homer Look for More Flour (4h, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) If the user has Wiggum: Task: Make Wiggum Show Off His Ox (4h, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) If the user has Moe: Task: Make Moe Be Impressed (4h, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) Let me get this straight. In just the first week of our journey you ate all our supplies AND you murdered one of our oxen? I prefer to say "bagged". It's much less police-y. Well, we have no choice but to turn back and restock at Pone, Pelts and Beyond. Oh no, I'm not going back. It's the Northeast Passage or bust. I'm telling you, we're in no shape to finish this journey in our current state. We should head back and restock. Relax, we still have loads of ammo, and if there's a problem guns can't fix, I haven't met it and shot it yet. One week later... Come getcha breakfast, y'all. We're having ox sausage, huevos oxaleros, and fresh-squeezed Ox-J. Ugh, if I gotta eat ox one more time... Gimme a break, city dude. They didn't teach us a lot of ox recipes at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. Besides, ox meat is healthier for you than beef from a factory farm cow. *spits* This is health food?! Yuck, I'd rather starve. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 4

After completing A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 3: Look, up ahead! A herd of buffalo! Now, please, just enjoy their majesty before you— *shoots rifle* So much for majesty. They sure die with majesty. *shoots rifle* Bam, got another one! Nice shootin', Simpson. But get a load of this. *shoots rifle* You killed two with one bullet! Why are you both still shooting them? You've killed— Bagged. —bagged more than we can eat in a year. Nobody said anything about eating them. They're just fun to shoot. *shoots rifle* Majestic!

A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 5

After completing A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 4: There's the bridge to the Northeast Passage. We made it! Look across the canyon over there. Are those donuts growing up out of the ground? I knew it! There ARE donuts in them thar hills. In your FACE, Connie Applecore! We discovered a new frontier. Time to celebrate, everyone! Quick — grab a gun and shoot the closest buffalo! Hold on, Wiggy, I think you's gonna have to put a cork in your musket, 'cause it looks like the bridge is out. Moe's right. How are we going to get across? You leave that to me, little lady. *uses police radio* I'm gonna need the chopper over here at the bridge to the Northeast Passage. Also, a cup of coffee would be great, too. Make it a grande. Over. You can't get a signal out here. We're in the middle of nowhere. So, no coffee? But, but, the donuts! All-natural donuts! We can't just leave them there! We have to do something! It's not like we can just jump across. What are we supposed to do? I've got an idea. Guys, what's the one thing that's gotten us out of trouble at every turn on this trip? The copious amounts of ammo we brought? Close. The buffalo! It's time for nature to provide once more...

Buffalo Bridge

After completing A Fail of Two Cities Pt. 5: What are you doing?! Isn't it obvious? I'm making a buffalo bridge. Though we're almost out of buffalo and the canyon isn't nearly full, so clearly nature has its limits. Stop! Killing! Buffalo! This one here was a long-horned sheep, to be fair. Yeah, see? We don't just kill indiscriminately. That's right, we kill with plenty of discrimination. No wait, that doesn't sound good either. I have an idea. How about we use conventional tools to, oh, I don't know, REPAIR the bridge?! Sounds like a lot of work. Fine. You three just sit here and don't do anything while I figure this out. *moaning* And no killing? Sheesh. The things I do for the sake of all-natural donuts. Task: Make Homer Pout About Not Killing Buffalo (4h, Frontier Town, Frontier Camp, Frontier Wagon, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) Task: Make Connie Appleseed Think of a Plan (4h, Frontier Town, Frontier Camp, Frontier Wagon, Pone, Pelts and Beyond, Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's or Homes) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Brave New World

Brave New World Pt. 1

After completing Buffalo Bridge: Alright, I think I can fix this bridge with some wood and nails. So...who are you? I'm Connie Appleseed. Don't you remember? We took a grueling journey together to get here to the new frontier? Umm... Homer's delirious. He's been living off buffalo meat and T-shirt drippings for a month now. Wait, so have I. Who are you? *sigh* Homer, on the other side of this broken bridge, there are donuts. Really? Then what are you waiting for? Wood and nails. Where are we going to find wood and nails in the middle of nowhere? Also, who are you? Hey, look! Springfield Heights is just over there. I'm sure they's got a few shops for stuff like that. Springfield Heights? I haven't been there in years. I wonder if they serve buffalo? Task: Make the Group Find Wood [x15] (4h, Trees or Simpson House) Characters: Connie Appleseed, Cookie, Homer, Wiggum, Moe Task: Make the Group Find Nails [x15] (4h, Trees or Simpson House) Characters: Connie Appleseed, Cookie, Homer, Wiggum, Moe Quest reward: 100 and 10

Brave New World Pt. 2

After completing Brave New World Pt. 1: Okay, here's ya wood and nails. Don't ask where we got it. All the wood is stamped with the "SHØP" logo. And half these "nails" are metric Allen wrenches. Did you steal this stuff? Hey, it's not stealing if you can't afford it. Oh wait, maybe it is. Good thing store security didn't see us. Those guys are mean. Well, at least we've got the materials needed to repair the bridge. Now, here's how you fix it... You want US to fix it? I thought you were gonna do that. No, I'm going to show you how to do it. You're about to enter a new frontier and you're going to need to learn some survival basics like this to make it out there. Who needs survival basics when you have guns? Remember all the buffalo we shot on the way here? Maybe you should try shooting the bridge until it's fixed. Worth a try. *cocks rifle* I was being sarcastic! Just take this hammer and nail these boards together... First we don't get to shoot anything, and now we have to do manual labor? Worst. Frontier. Ever. Task: Make the Group Fix the Bridge [x3] (4h, New Frontier Canyon or Simpson House) Characters: Connie Appleseed, Cookie, Homer, Wiggum, Moe Quest reward: 100 and 10

Brave New World Pt. 3

After completing Brave New World Pt. 2: We did it! Welcome to the new frontier! Great job, everyone. And look, there are donuts growing out of the ground! Sweet, sweet all-natural donuts... Let's go get 'em before anyone else notices the bridge is fixed. Not so fast. It looks like we'll need to prospect those land tiles before we can reach them. Aww, more work? Game designers are monsters. We can use this prospector's shack to acquire the maps we'd need. Once we have enough, we can unlock another land tile. Task: Make the Group Prospect the New Frontier (8h) Characters: Connie Appleseed, Cookie, Homer, Moe Quest reward: 100 and 10

Brave New World Pt. 4

After completing Brave New World Pt. 3: Wow, this new frontier is great. Donuts as far as the eye can see! And look at all of the incredible natural discoveries to be made! And look at the new buffalo we can shoot! And look at all the new land for grazing my illegally imported pandas. *grumble* I mean, look at all the new land for grazing buffalo we can shoot! *double grumble* Hey, I don't even know why I came on this trip. Lord knows what Barney did to my bar while I was gone. Task: Make Homer Marvel at all the Donut Veins (4h, Prospector's Shack, New Frontier Canyon or Homes) Quest reward: 200 and 20
