Gameplay
Pinsetter
Pinsetter Pt. 1
After the user logs in on May 10th:
|
|
Smithers! What is this check made out to the Federal government?
|
|
That's your tax payment, sir.
|
|
You know my policy on giving money to family members, and that includes Uncle Sam.
|
|
I'm sure it's a mistake. I'll look into whether killing the accountant who prepared them gives you another deduction.
|
Task: Make Burns Scheme a New Tax Evasion Strategy (6s, Control Building) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pinsetter Pt. 2
After completing Pinsetter Pt. 1:
|
|
Tax havens in New Havens. Shell companies that sell sea shells. I've done them all already!
|
|
What about starting a charity?
|
|
A charity?! If I wanted my money to help the poor I'd just pay my taxes!
|
|
But sir, if you own the charity, you'll be giving the money tax-free back to yourself. You just need a group or team to do the fundraising.
|
|
A team, eh? How about we get the Pin Pals back together. They can bowl for my benefit!
|
Task: Make Burns Recruit the Old Pin Pals (6s, Control Building) Task: Make Homer Happily Join Up (6s, Simpson House) Task: Make Moe Skeptically Agree to Join (6s, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Apu Dig Out His Old Pin Pals Shirt (6s, Kwik-E-Mart)
|
|
Woohoo! I get to bowl and my boss is footing the bill! It's like everyday from 3 pm on!
|
|
I don't mind him paying, so long as he ain't playing...
|
|
It's wordplay like that that keeps me submitting to The New Yorker.
|
Quest reward: Pin Pal Apu, 100 and 10
|
|
Pin Pals
Pin Pals Pt. 1
After completing Pinsetter Pt. 2:
|
|
Mr. Burns, we thought we'd celebrate the team getting back together with new jerseys.
|
|
Because some of us seem to have, er, outgrown our old ones.
|
|
And others of us have discovered that our sweat is acid that melts cotton.
|
|
Gentlemen, we're bowling for charity. We don't have the money for extravagances like jerseys or working fire extinguishers.
|
Task: Make Burns Avoid Expenditures (3h, Control Building) Task: Collect Bowling Shoes [x8]
|
|
Sir, you have to invest in your charity a bit if you want to claim a deduction.
|
|
I suppose I could buy them a little something. Like matching tattoos of my face. Or a vacation to Tuscany for one.
|
|
How about a state-of-the-art facility? That's how colleges avoid paying their athletes.
|
Quest reward: Pin Pals Bowling Alley, 100 and 10

|
Jacques Surfacing
After building Pin Pals Bowling Alley:
|
|
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
|
|
The smell of floor polish, the clatter of pins, the creep of athlete's foot. Bowling!
|
|
And a new bowling alley calls for a new Jacques: Jacques Deux Point O.
|
|
Pin Pals Pt. 2
After completing Pin Pals Pt. 1:
|
|
Welcome, Pin Pals, to your very own bowling alley!
|
|
Oh man, I knew it. Burns is trying to buy his way back onto the team.
|
|
Let me assure you: I do NOT want to play with you. I can hardly stand to look at you.
|
|
Your reverse psychology won't work on us. Unless that's not what you want. In which case it will.
|
Task: Make Burns Avoid Bowling (3h, Pin Pals Bowling Alley) Task: Collect Bowling Shoes [x26]
|
|
Burns clearly wants back on the team. And I can't stand to watch a man beg. That's why I don't bring dates to restaurants with mirrors in them. Sorry, Otto. You're off the team.
|
|
Whoa, I was on the team?
|
|
I told you – I don't want to join! This is Woodrow and his League of Nations all over again.
|
Quest reward: Bowling Lane, 100 and 10
|
|
Pin Pals Pt. 3
After completing Pin Pals Pt. 2:
|
|
Kirk, what are you doing here?
|
|
Mr. Burns said he'd pay me twenty bucks to play with you guys. Looks like Kirk won't have to sell any molars today!
|
|
I see Burns is playing hard to get. Looks like Moe is going to have to take care of this just like he took care of the Iranian Embassy hostages.
|
|
What was that?
|
|
Argo was a lie! I mean, nothing.
|
Task: Make Moe Orchestrate an Accident for Kirk (3h, Pin Pals Bowling Alley) Task: Collect Bowling Shoes [x30]
|
|
Yeow! Moe, you broke my fingers! All those prepaid mandolin lessons at the Y down the drain!
|
|
Sorry, Kirk. I can be a real klutz. Guess you can't bowl no more.
|
|
I can't afford to see a doctor either. But maybe I can convince the vet that I'm an exotic pet.
|
Quest reward: Claw Machine, 100 and 10
|
|
Pin Pals Pt. 4
After completing Pin Pals Pt. 3:
|
|
Looks like that ringer won't be wearing no rings for awhile. Man, why does The New Yorker keep rejecting this brilliance?
|
|
Now we really need Mr. Burns to finish the tournament.
|
|
How many times do I have to tell you fools – I don't want to bowl with you!
|
|
This charity was just an excuse for me to hoard money. Like those timeshares I sold in a state that doesn't exist.
|
|
What? But I've booked plane tickets to Oklaronsas!
|
|
Now you've left me no choice. Bowl for the team. Or burn down this building and collect the insurance.
|
|
Isn't that a choice?
|
Task: Make Burns Practice His Gutter Balls (3h, Pin Pals Bowling Alley) Task: Make Moe Watch and Regret What He's Done (3h, Pin Pals Bowling Alley) Task: Collect Bowling Shoes [x36] Quest reward: Pin Pal Homer, 100 and 10
|
|
Pin Pals Pt. 5
After completing Pin Pals Pt. 4:
|
|
This is it – the deciding match! What a journey it's been. An immediate, unseen journey.
|
|
We just need one more strike, and then the trophy's ours.
|
|
But Burns is up next. He hasn't hit a single thing this entire tournament. Unless you count the valet he ran over in the parking lot.
|
|
Time to show these boys what I'm made of -- sinew, steel plates, and bigotry.
|
Task: Make Burns Throw for the Gutter (3h, Pin Pals Bowling Alley) Task: Collect Bowling Shoes [x40]
|
|
He dropped the ball! Like I do when Marge asks me for a favor.
|
|
Hey, wordplay's my shtick this update!
|
|
It's going very slowly, but... but...
|
|
It's a strike! I can't believe it!
|
|
Wow! This is the first strike I've ever seen that didn't end with Pinkertons clubbing my employees.
|
|
Seeing as how I won the match I think it's only fair that I keep the reward.
|
Quest reward: 200 and 20
|
|
Trophy Tax
After completing Pin Pals Pt. 5:
|
|
This will look excellent with my other awards – my 1980 gold medal for hockey, my 1994 Nobel prize in economics, and of course my piece of the Aggro Crag.
|
|
All rightfully earned sir.
|
|
Now for the real winner of this affair, my pocketbook!
|
Task: Make Burns Verify the Results of His Tax Scheme (6s, Control Building)
|
|
I still owe taxes? How is that even possible?
|
|
It turns out the trophy has a small monetary value. You owe the IRS two dollars.
|
|
Bah! Billionaires don't pay taxes. Who does the IRS think I am? A billionaire's secretary?
|
|
Get rid of this accursed trophy! Give it back to the team and write it off as a charitable deduction!
|
Quest reward: Bowling Trophy, 100 and 10

Rutterball
Rutterball Pt. 1
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
Alright guys, are you ready to bowl?
|
|
I was born ready! And also with eleven toes.
|
|
All that extra traction – it's an unfair advantage!
|
Task: Make Pin Pal Homer Bowl With Style (8h, Bowling Lane)
|
|
And Homer wins again!
|
|
Nice job. I'm just glad you finally found something you're good at.
|
|
What do you mean? I'm good at all kinds of stuff. Eating, drinking, sleeping.
|
|
I think you're just naming the processes that keep you alive.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Rutterball Pt. 2
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
Marge, do I have any skills, or is bowling really the only thing I'm good at?
|
|
You're good at lots of things! You've been an astronaut, a farmer, a clown, a boxer, a mayor, a beer baron, a missionary, and a conceptual artist.
|
|
I mean a real thing. Like juggling or karaoke or always having the perfect comeback.
|
|
Sorry Dad, you stink at everything.
|
|
Oh yeah, well, I know you are but what was me? WHAT WAS ME??
|
Task: Make Pin Pal Homer Seek Solace in Alcohol (8h, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Moe Serve Up Some Consolation (8h, Moe's Tavern)
|
|
You're looking down today, Homer.
|
|
I just get the feeling lately like I can't do anything for anyone.
|
|
Sorry, I meant literally. Could you check the floor for loose peanuts? I gotta refill the jar.
|
|
And lemme know if you plan to drink yourself to death, cause you gotta pay in advance for that.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Rutterball Pt. 3
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
Booze didn't cheer me up. Maybe an impulse buy will?
|
|
That's as American a line of reasoning as I've ever heard. And have I got a deal for you.
|
|
It's a handy multi-tool - it can do just about anything! Satisfaction guaranteed!
|
|
Great, even the crap Gil's selling is more useful than me. Now I'm more dissatisfied than ever.
|
|
Everyone is when they shop with Gil!
|
Task: Make Pin Pal Homer Sink Further Into Despair (24h, Krusty Burger)
|
|
Guess I'll just have to get used to being a one-trick pony.
|
|
Better than being a no-trick pony, like the one I rented for my daughter's birthday party.
|
|
Two months salary to watch it eat my lawn. That's not how you win her back, Gil!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Rutterball Pt. 4
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
Maybe that pathetic loser Gil is onto something.
|
|
You could at least wait for me to walk away.
|
|
Sure, I may only be good at one thing. But if I can find someone impressionable enough to be impressed, it can mean a lot.
|

La Proposale
La Proposale Pt. 1
After tapping on Jacqes' exclamation mark:
|
|
Marge, my dear! How many lifetimes has it been since we were together?
|
|
Please allow me to take you to brunch. I don't mean to brag, but I have my own table at the Waffle Hut.
|
|
I'll go, but just as friends. I'm still happily married. Well, married.
|
Task: Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern Task: Make Jacques Meet Marge for Brunch (2h, Eatery, Marge)
|
|
I must confess, there is a thirst in me that not even these bottomless mimosas can quench.
|
|
I need you, Marge! As the pins yearn for the bowling ball, or the damp fingers yearn for that little fan.
|
|
I'm sorry, Jacques, I'm not interested. But I may know someone who is.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
La Proposale Pt. 2
After tapping on Jacqes' exclamation mark:
|
|
Ah, you must be Selma! Marge was right – you do look a bit like her if I squint.
|
|
That accent, and that backhanded compliment – so French! I'm intrigued.
|
|
Selma, do you enjoy the theatre?
|
|
I dunno... if I want sticky floors and the smell of stale butter I can just go home.
|
Task: Reach Level 35 And Build the Spinster City Apartments Task: Make Jacques Take Selma to See French Theatre (12h, Springfield Library, Selma)
|
|
Jacques, I had a great time tonight, even if I couldn't understand what was going on.
|
|
It was a French film, my sweet. No one understood what was going on.
|
|
The night is young, just like me according to my driver's license. Shall we go back to your place?
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
La Proposale Pt. 3
After tapping on Jacqes' exclamation mark:
|
|
Selma I am madly in love with you, but there's just one thing I require...
|
|
I knew it was too good to be true. What do you need? An alibi? A loan? A kidney? An alibi for where you got that loaned kidney?
|
|
No... marriage!
|
Task: Make Jacques Propose to Selma (8h, Fiesta Terrace, Selma)
|
|
Selma, would you marry... Hans Moleman?
|
|
I do... not understand what's going on.
|
|
I need the excitement of dating a married woman. My love must be like my entry to the women's locker room: forbidden!
|
|
But I am a married woman. I've been married five times in fact.
|
|
Why don't I just put one of those rings back on and complain non-stop about my exes?
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
La Proposale Pt. 4
After tapping on Selma's exclamation mark:
|
|
Please Selma, I only want what I cannot have. You must be like the moon to me, or an affordable haircut that looks good right away.
|
|
How do I know it won't fall apart like my other marriages?
|
|
What ruined those marriages?
|
|
Let's see... publicity stunt, attempted murder, old age, disco fever, and undisclosed.
|
|
Those were all flawed because they were built on foundations of love. But this will be built on... my weird sexual hang-ups!

|
|
La Proposale Pt. 5
After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark:
|
|
Hi Selma! How are things with Jacques?
|
|
He's asking me to marry, just not to him.
|
|
Now I'm worried I'll end up with a marriageless love and a loveless marriage.
|
|
If I've learned one thing from Jacques, it's how to pick up a seven ten split. But if I've learned two things, it's that he'll take advantage of you.
|
|
You're right – I should end it now. Grr, love was so much easier when my fiancée just wanted me dead.
|
Task: Make Selma Break Up With Jacques (24h, Fiesta Terrace, Jacques)
|
|
But Selma, I need you! And not just to help me finish these home fries.
|
|
I'm sorry. I care for you, but I can't stoop so low as to marry someone like Hans Moleman.
|
|
I still don't understand why you had to bring me along.
|
|
Well Selma, if you ever do find Mr. Right, then please cheat on him with me.
|

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark:
|
|
Hey Barney, gimme a hand here, will ya? Set these empties up at the end of the bar.
|
|
Practicing your bowling skills?
|
|
I was just going to huck 'em at rats. But yeah, yours is a better idea.
|

|
|
Aw, thanks Moe. It means a lot that you think we're capable of scheming.

We scrubbed the floor with that bucket of mop water behind the bar.

|
Tavern-Sitter Pt. 3
After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark:
|
|
Whoever watches the bar has to be more like me: morally flexible but physically brittle, and with a gambling problem.
|
|
Hands up barkeep! Gimme all your cash and no one gets hurt!
|
|
Bingo!
|
|
Bingo? Where? Put all my money on I29!
|
|
Perfect. How about instead of robbing the place, you watch it for a few hours?
|
|
That sounds suspiciously like honest work.

Trust me, it ain't.

Pin Power Pt. 1
After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark:
|
|
Smithers, I'm afraid I have to go join my fellow Pin Pals in training.
|
|
In my absence, I need you to watch over my precious plant with an iron fist.
|
|
I bought a sequined glove at the flea market last Saturday. Is that close enough, sir?
|
|
It'll have to do. Just don't let those brutes smell fear on you. Or fresh fish.

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark:

What's going on here, Smithers? I see men smiling, whistling while they work. And is that a glimmer of hope in their eyes?!
|
|
No sir! It must be radioactive dust in the air.
|
|
Alright, I admit it – I can't seem to keep their spirits down! Even my "No Socializing at Work" themed ice cream social was a failure.
|
|
When I get back, I expect to see broken spirits, hollow eyes, and stomachs full for the coming winter hibernation.
