Dialogue[edit]

Intro[edit]

After starting the update
Homer Here comes the holiday season! Anyone in the mood for a pre-Thanksgiving flight of three turkeys?
Homer Or we can just round it up to an even baker's dozen.
Lisa - Sad Dad, please! Just thinking about this upcoming meat massacre gives me serious PTVD.
Homer - Serious Lisa, you know how I feel about acronyms: I.T.M.S. I Don't Get Them.
Lisa - Sad It's Pre-Thanksgiving Vegetarian Depression. And it's very real, even if it's not recognized by the DSM.
Homer - Serious What did I just say about acronyms?!
Task: "Make Lisa Escape Her PTVD". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 6 seconds.
After starting the job
Lisa Hmm... the school computer lab is unlocked. Maybe the reasonable and calming influence of the internet is what I need right now.
Quinn Hopper Well, if it isn't my little protégé. The zero to my one one zero one one.
Lisa - Surprised Quinn?! What are you doing here?
Quinn Hopper Using the school computers to mask my infiltration of the Department of Homeland... uh, I mean nothing.
Lisa - Curious You got really far into that sentence before changing your mind.
After finishing the task
Lisa - Sad Every year I feel helpless. What will it take to get people to stop eating so much meat?
Quinn Hopper You could give them artificial incentives and a false sense of accomplishment?
Lisa - Eyeroll Pssh, who would fall for that?
Quinn Hopper Ever heard of gamification? It's a great way to get people to do what you want them to. Like waterboarding, if waterboarding cost 99 cents each time.
Message Quinn Hopper is here to help you achieve your fake goal of making up fake goals!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing the Intro
Lisa - Happy Just a couple more lines of code... and done! My meat alternative app "Tofun" is ready for release!
Bart I'd question how quickly you turned that app around, but I have no real concept of time between when we talk.
Quinn Hopper All you need now are a couple of early adopter suckers to beta test it.
Bart Who would want to test a half-baked app for free?
Homer Free half-baked apps? Are we talking potato skins or just jalapeno poppers? You know what? Surprise me.
Quinn Hopper Gamification! Don't make me spell it out... because it's probably not a word. Just tell people they get extra Activist Badges for "early exclusive" use.
Task: "Make Lisa Promote Tofun". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Make Springfielders Beta Test Tofun" (x5). The jobs take place at Springfield Elementary and take 3 hours.
Task: "Earn Activist Badges" (x150).
Lisa - Happy My day one installs are up to ten! That's twice as many downloads as my last app – Jazz Findr.
Homer - Scared Ten installs?! Lisa, the Meat Council will get word of this. And you know Quimby and Wiggum are in Big Sausage's pocket, ever since they filled their pockets with big sausages!
Lisa - Happy It's only a few users – I doubt they'll care. I think it's safe to say this is the end of this quest!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10
Meat Propaganda Billboard

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
Lisa - Curious That billboard springs up just a few days after my app? Something's fishy.
Homer - Scared You better hope not! The Fish Lobby makes the Meat Council look like small potatoes. And nobody takes the Guild of Small Potatoes seriously.
Lisa You sure know a lot about political interest groups, Dad.
Homer I used to be a lobbyist. Until I found out that didn't just mean stealing luggage from the entrances of fancy hotels.
Task: "Make Springfielders Compete on Tofun" (x5). The jobs take place at an Eatery or Brown House and take 3 hours.
Task: "Make Lisa Update Tofun". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Earn Activist Badges" (x325).
Lisa - Confused Why are you walking around with two phones?
Comic Book Guy Because I can only reap so much enjoyment from topping the Tofun leaderboards, so I'm simultaneously competing in the meat-eating app Beefbettr.
Lisa - Angry A meat-eating game? The Meat Council isn't playing around! Somebody get me my carpal tunnel brace – they just messed with the wrong prodigy app developer.
Lisa - Annoyed Hmm, that sounded cooler in my head.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10
Programmer Lisa

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2
Programmer Lisa - Sad Quinn, I think I need to switch up my tactics. But it feels like something is holding me back.
Quinn Hopper It's your conscience, kid. App development is a dog-eat-dog world.
Programmer Lisa As a vegetarian I prefer to call it a tempeh-eat-tempeh world.
Programmer Lisa - Happy But you're right. Gamification was only a half-measure. I need to hack the planet!... Now that's the cool line I was looking for!
Quinn Hopper Hacking, webmasters, firewalls – I love all the great words we made up to describe typing really fast for a long period of time.
Task: "Make Programmer Lisa Hack Propaganda". The job takes place at the Meat Propaganda Billboard and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Earn Activist Badges" (x325).
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10
Slaughterhouse Express

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3
Apu - Happy Come check out our new all-meat aisle! We have every cut of meat from head to tail... as well as extra heads and tails.
Apu Hurry in, we're not slashing prices, but we are slashing Best By, Sell By, and Use By dates!
Programmer Lisa - Sad Why is the town suddenly flooded with meat products?
Homer Mmm, meat flood. It's the feud between those two silly phone games – it's making everyone hungry.
Programmer Lisa Maybe I bit off more than I can chew. It's time to call in backup. A name that strikes fear into the hearts of meat lovers, and people who don't like to be bothered on the sidewalk.
Task: "Make Programmer Lisa Call P.E.T.A. for Backup". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Earn Activist Badges" (x325).
Programmer Lisa - Sad That was useless. They just preached to me over the phone for four hours and then sent me a complimentary can of fur protest red paint.
Programmer Lisa - Annoyed Plus a copy of their straight-to-DVD movie "Never Meat Me In St. Louis".
Brockman - Grim We interrupt this little girl's tantrum to bring you breaking news: the app Tofun may be selling your user data.
Brockman - Grim To whom? Russia? We don't know, but this reporter is brave enough to guess wildly. So Russia it is!
Brockman - Happy This segment was brought to you by the renovated Slaughterhouse Restaurant. Now with new and improved blood gutters, and a permanent on-site paramedic!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10
Slaughterhouse Restaurant and Sir Loin-A-Lot

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4
Programmer Lisa - Annoyed Somehow, whatever I do, the Meat Council's always one step ahead of me.
Quinn Hopper Check your source code, sweetie. I think you might have a bug. Or maybe even a rat.
Quinn Hopper That's why the hacker life can be a lonely one. Imagine having no friends, your only pals are inanimate objects.
Programmer Lisa Yeah, I can hardly imagine...
Task: "Make Programmer Lisa Inspect Source Code". The job takes place at Benches and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Make Gluttons Take the Sir Loin-A-Lot Challenge" (x3). The jobs take place at the Slaughterhouse Restaurant and take 4 hours.
Task: "Earn Activist Badges" (x325).
After starting the jobs
Programmer Lisa - Shocked What?! I connected Tofun to P.E.T.A.'s alt-veggie database, but these logs suggest they've been sending my data straight to the Meat Council!
Quinn Hopper An organization that promotes veganism sending user data to a multinational meat conglomerate? A tale as old as time.
After finishing the tasks
Programmer Lisa - Sad So my best efforts to help the world just ended up making everything worse?
Homer Hey, look on the bright side.
Programmer Lisa Which is?
Homer I'm sorry, is there more to that expression?
Homer - Happy I wish I could help, sweetie, but I've got reservations at the Slaughterhouse Restaurant. I hear they provide fresh towels for your meat sweats.
Message You've been awarded Homer and Bart's "You Don't Win Friends With Salad" animated job!
