Monetization Liberation Pt. 1
After the user logs in on June 30th:
|
|
It's the 4th of July! Time to grab my secret stash of illegal fireworks from their hiding place!
|
|
You kept a box of fireworks hidden behind the basement furnace?
|
|
Yes, but, see, I put this this heavy can of gasoline on top of the box, so that if any ka-booms happened, the explodey parts wouldn't be able to get out. Safe!
|
|
You're a nuclear safety engineer, right?
|
|
...*Long Pause*
|
|
Yes.
|
|
You had to think about that a long time.
|
|
I did. Anyway, time to “inspect” some of these little guys in the backyard! Ka-boom!
|
Task: Make Homer “Safety Inspect” Fireworks (4h)
|
|
You're not really “inspecting” those fireworks so much as you are “lighting them with a match held in your teeth.”
|
|
That's how the pros do it.
|
|
Anyway, the only way to properly test fireworks is to set off so many the sky shines like a beacon!
|
|
...a beacon that is easily noticeable by any Class IX Rigellian Battle Cruisers that happen to be passing through your pathetic solar system!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Monetization Liberation Pt. 2
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
Kodos!
|
|
It's Kang! Not all Rigellians look alike, you know. That's super-insulting. Super-duper-times-infinity insulting, oh tiny human intellect!
|
|
Sorry. Kind of sensitive about that, aren't you?
|
|
Silence! *Long Pause* Please.
|
|
Just because your vile species is about to be death-rayed out of existence, that's no reason for me to be rude. So, please be silent, you insignificant worm.
|
|
You're going to destroy our planet? Why?
|
|
That series of explosions you just sent up is Intergalactic Signal Light Morse Code for “please obliterate my irrelevant planet immediately.”
|
|
We take it back! Dad, tell the nice alien we take it back!
|
|
Dad?

Task: Make Lisa Try to Solve the Latest Crisis (4h, Simpson Home) Task: Make Homer Play Happy Little Elves (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Monetization Liberation Pt. 3
After tapping on Kang's exclamation mark:
|
|
Dad!
|
|
Huh? Oh, sorry, sweetie. I was just playing the “Happy Little Elves” game on my phone. It's super-addictive.
|
|
I know, right? So good...
|
|
I didn't realize aliens played it too!
|
|
It just came out in the Palm O.S. app store two days ago. For some reason, we always get stuff late.
|
|
Uh, maybe because nobody still uses Palm phones.
|
|
All on Rigel use Palm! Palm is the superior form of mobile telephony! All hail Palm!
|
|
Now I must use my Palm to program in the coordinates for the death ray strike! Prepare to perish!
|
Task: Make Kang Activate the Death Ray (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Monetization Liberation Pt. 4
After tapping on Kang's exclamation mark:
|
|
Okay, Kang. Time to program that death ray. Work, work, work.
|
|
Hmm... maybe just a few minutes with the Happy Little Elves game first. Just a quick visit to my town. Then, I'll get some serious work done.
|
|
Look at Kang's town! He's been playing just two days, and it's already way cooler than mine!
|
|
He must be spending a fortune! And spending lots of money to rush builds is a form of cheating.
|
|
Er, but not when you do it, Sky Finger. Go on splashing that cash.
|
Task: Make Homer Trash Talk a Fellow Gamer (12h)
|
|
What's this? A message from a fellow Happy Little Elves player?
|
|
Wow. That is... a whole lot of misspelled profanity.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Monetization Liberation Pt. 5
After tapping on Kang's exclamation mark:
|
|
How dare you question my spending habits, human spendthrift! Now I will program my death ray to wipe your kind from the galaxy!
|
|
Weren't you supposed to do that hours ago?
|
|
I know! But this holiday event demands the constant attention of my vastly superior intelligence! Blast these mobile games!
|
|
Hey! If we're elf-friends we can gift each other berries to get through the event faster! I can't seem to buy them anymore.
|
|
I had to put the parental locks on. You kept maxing out the credit cards!
|
Task: Make Homer Friend Request Kang (2h)
|
|
Look, Lisa! Kang friended me! You remember Kang, right?
|
|
Big green guy? About to murder you and everyone you love?
|
|
Great glayvin! If Kang friended Homer, there may be a way to use the connection to hack into the Rigellian Master Computer!
|
|
You mean, like they did in “Independence Day?” Wasn't that the dumbest plot point in an already-dumb movie?
|
|
It certainly was! I hope it works as implausibly for us as it did for them!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Monetization Liberation Pt. 6
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
Good news! I have cloned Homer's account to every mobile device in Springfield! And loaded them all with elf berries.
|
|
If we all spam Kang's phone with elf berries, we can crash the alien computer network!
|
|
Quick, everyone! Execute this idiotic plan that was devised by lazy writers who have absolutely no clue how computers work!
|
|
They're unwillingness to come up with a more believable twist to this story may just save us all!
|
Task: Make Springfielders Send Kang Elf Berries [x10] (4h, Brown House) On job start:
|
|
What's this? An influx of elf berries!
|
|
I'll use them to buy more gold, usurious exchange rate be damned!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Monetization Liberation Pt. 7
After tapping on Kang's exclamation mark:
|
|
Great Krandor's tentacles! The influx of elf berries has overloaded my entire system! Not that that makes any sense whatsoever!
|
|
Look, Kang's UFO is falling from the sky!
|
|
Woo-hoo! We did it!
|
|
Now to do the only thing Americans still do well: channel all our rage at illegal aliens.
|
|
Hold on, now. There's some paperwork involved in kicking aliens out of the country. Shouldn't require more than fifteen years or so.
|
|
Foolish humans! It was my plan all along to get trapped here by your painfully slow bureaucracy.
|
|
Also, I'm going to take all your jobs! We Rigellians work cheap!
|
|
And with all these elf berries, I shall dominate your Happy Little Elf leaderboards for all time!!!!

Gil Deal
After tapping Gil's US Flag 's mark
|
|
Ol' Gil has returned to Springfield with something both amazing and physics-defying.
|
|
With the power of my non-patented snake oiled time machine, I give you everyone's... eh... "favorite" Commander-In-Chief!
|
|
...shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President-
|
|
WHAT THE -- WHAT IS THIS PLACE? WHERE DID THE OVAL OFFICE GO? AND WHY IS EVERYONE GLARING AND HISSING AT DICK NIXON?
|
|
It must be that time of year again. Another ex-President has somehow appeared in Springfield.
|
|
President Nixon, welcome to the year 2015. It's an honor to... that is to say, it's nice to... er, it's actually not that great to meet you.
|
|
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? TELL ME, AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT -- IS NIXON REMEMBERED AS AMERICA'S MOST ABHORRENT POLITICAL SCOUNDREL?
|
|
Well, uh... kinda.
|
|
AND ALL BLAME FOR THE SCANDAL THAT ENDED MY PRESIDENCY RESTS ON DICK NICKSON'S SHOULDERS?
|
|
Pretty much.
|
|
Then the plan worked. And America is safe. Thank God Almighty for that.
|
|
Wait... plan? What plan?
|
|
DICK NICKSON HAS SAID TOO MUCH! DICK NICKSON WILL SAY NO MORE!
|
|
What plan is former President Nixon referring to? What's the real story behind America's worst political scandal?
|
|
And what do George Washington and Abraham Lincoln think of our most reviled President? Build the Scandal-gate Hotel to find out!
|
If the user denies:
|
|
What kind of a patriot doesn’t purchase Richard Nixon on the Fourth of July? He’s America’s forty-fourth most beloved President!
|
|
To be honest, I get it. I really do. I tried to get ANYONE but Nixon. Called up Jefferson, Grant, both Roosevelts....
|
|
But their royalty fees are too high. It’s hard to get the prestigious ones. They're not as desperate.
|
|
I did manage to sell six Nixons, at least. I hope ol’ Gil can live off that income for an entire year....
|
If the user accepts:
|
|
The Scandal-gate Hotel. What a groovy old crib. Make sure to order the Continental breakfast. It's far out.
|
|
Gee, I wouldn't expect you to remember this place so fondly, Mr. President.
|
|
Dick Nixon tries not to live in the past. The great karmic wheel turns ever onward, carrying us where it will. Just sit back and dig the ride, little sister.
|
|
"Dig the ride?" Are you, like, doing a character right now?
|
|
This is the real Nixon, baby. The "character" was the stuffed-shirt phony you knew as your President. That was all an act to keep "The Man" off Dick Nixon's back.
|
|
So this is how you actually talk? It's seriously not a joke?
|
|
Now that I'm out of the political game, I can finally let my freak flag fly. Right on. Right. On.
|
|
It's actually pretty annoying. If you don't mind my saying so.
|
|
Hey, you gotta speak your truth. Now let's go get some beers.
|
|
I'm an eight-year-old girl!
|
|
Nixon got a Presidential pardon. That means Nixon and all his good buddies can do whatever they want.
|
|
That's not how that works.
|
|
Whatever. Politics are dumb. I'm Audi 5000.
|
|
Scandal-gate
Scandal-gate Pt. 1
Scandal-gate Pt. 2
After tapping on Richard Nixon's exclamation mark:
|
|
Mr. President, now that we're alone, please tell me why you're taking the fall for the break-in at the Scandal-gate?
|
|
I have to. Just like I had to in 1972. To protect the American people.
|
|
But you WERE behind that break-in! Everybody knows that. There were YEARS of investigations, THOUSANDS of articles...
|
|
All lies, planted by the jive turkeys who were really behind it. They were running scared. Because Nixon and his friends had cracked the case.
|
|
Dick Nixon, you see, is a master detective. Nixon makes Sherlock Holmes look like a blithering idiot. And Nixon filled his White House with fellow super-sleuths.
|
|
Ehrlichman, John Dean, Haldeman and Nixon called ourselves “The Mystery Solvers Club.” We had closed hundreds of cases the fuzz deemed “unsolvable.”
|
|
At night, we prowled the streets of D.C., magnifying glasses in hand, collecting clues.
|
|
But when, in 1972, we realized the truth behind the break-in, we decided it was too big, too terrible to ever get out.
|
|
The American people need to believe in their government. But they also need the bad guys to get caught. So we let ourselves BECOME the bad guys.
|
|
It's like in “The Dark Knight” when Batman lets himself be framed for the murder of Harvey Dent. Nixon is pretty sure that's based on Nixon, by the way.
|
|
I've never seen it.
|
|
Never seen “The Dark Knight?” How is that even possible? It's like my seventh-favorite movie EVER. Come on. We're watching it right now.

Scandal-gate Pt. 3
After tapping on Richard Nixon's exclamation mark:
|
|
NOW do you see, Lisa? NOW do you dig how Dick Nixon is maybe an even better Batman than Christian Bale?
|
|
Not really. What WAS this horrible truth you were trying to keep from the American people?
|
|
In Washington, nothing is as it seems. What you think you know, you don't. And what you definitely don't know, you do.
|
|
Tell me -- who are the LAST two people you would ever expect to be the masterminds of the break-in?
|
|
Geez, I don't know... Probably Woodward and Bernstein?
|
|
BINGO.

Task: Make Richard Nixon Blow Everyone's Minds Task: Make Lisa Get her Mind Blown (1h, Scandal-gate Hotel) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Scandal-gate Pt. 4
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
Woodward and Bernstein were crusading, intrepid reporters who re-established the rule of law in Washington!
|
|
They were conservative operatives posing as reporters, at a hardline neo-Fascist think tank posing as The Washington Post.
|
|
It says so on the masthead: “The Washington Post is a front for a hardline neo-Fascist think tank.” Why doesn't anyone ever read the masthead?
|
|
Well, it's kind of small print. I assumed it wasn't that important...
|
|
Anyway, those reactionaries had to do SOMETHING to stop me. They knew about my second-term agenda.
|
|
Which was?
|
|
Please understand that Nixon's biography is a lie. Nixon grew up on an anarchist Marxist Buddhist hippie commune on the upper slopes of Mount Everest.
|
|
Where the air is far too thin to breathe...
|
|
Shut up.
|
|
You're insane.
|
|
NIXON WAS LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, AND NIXON SAYS SHUT UP.
|
Task: Make Lisa Sulk (45s, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Scandal-gate Pt. 5
After tapping on Richard Nixon's exclamation mark:
|
|
Anyway, Nixon spent decades deep undercover as a Republican. All to set up my glorious second term. I called it: “The Love Agenda.”
|
|
We were gonna press the “reset” button on America. No more military, no more money. No more “rich” and “poor.”
|
|
No more “police.” No more “fire department” or “hospitals.” Just people, you know? Hanging out, digging on good music and positive vibes.
|
|
That's a great system. Very well thought out.
|
|
Then Woodward and Bernstein caught wind of it, and eighty-sixed the whole beautiful vision.
|
|
But we'll get there. People are too damn groovy not to get there.
|
|
I really hope you're wrong about that.
|
|
In fact, I'm gonna go soak up some love right now. Later, square.
|
|
So long, Another Intensely Disappointing Ex-President.

Narcissism 101
After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark:
|
|
Mr. Nixon, sir? As a career politician with a deep commitment to serving the needs of myself, I am honored to meet you.
|
|
The pleasure is all Nixon's, Nixon's main man.
|
|
I was wondering -- as a relative novice in the ways of political wrongdoing, might I pick your brain for a bit? With all humility, of course...
|
|
Nixon apologizes if this seems indiscreet, but, what is this “I” word you use to indicate you are discussing yourself?
|
|
Er ah... the first person singular. Indicating the speaker is referring to him- or herself.
|
|
Dick Nixon is not familiar with this particular turn of phrase. Dick Nixon feels that it connotes weakness in the speaker.
|
|
But isn't it -- forgive me, oh Vile Sachem -- kind of mandatory? An inescapable convention of -- by your pardon, oh Satanic Sage -- the English language?
|
|
Well, Dick Nixon doesn't claim that Richard M. Nixon has a scholar's grasp of grammatical rules.
|
|
But it seems to Richard Milhouse Nixon that--
|
|
Hey! My name is Milhouse!
|
|
Go away, blue child.
|
|
--anyway, it seems to Nixon that a great leader should always separate himself from the rules of grammar, or, it seems, all reasonable behavior.
|
|
I will learn... er, that is, Quimby will learn this moronic lesson well.

Who Led Them Better
After tapping on Richard Nixon's exclamation mark:
|
|
What it is, Abe?
|
|
Richard Nixon! What in the blazes are you doing here?
|
|
Got sucked into a time vortex or something. Same as you.
|
|
Is that Dick Nixon?
|
|
Indeed.
|
|
I hate that dude.
|
|
He's not the best.
|
|
Whoa, daddy-os! We're all ex-Presidents here. Why the cold shoulder?
|
|
Gee, I don't know... maybe because you very nearly destroyed the government I worked so hard to build?
|
|
Yeah, the same government I gave my LIFE for.
|
|
...
|
|
What?
|
|
It's just... we know, okay? We know you got assassinated.
|
|
Well, I did.
|
|
You just don't have to mention it in like every conversation, is all.
|
|
Oh, I'm sorry if my taking a bullet to the head is so unpleasant for you. I can assure you, it was far worse from where I was sitting.
|
|
Look. It's not a competition: “Who was a better President, Abe or George?” You've got nothing to prove. So relax.
|
|
I didn't realize that my sacrifice -- THE GREATEST SACRIFICE A MAN CAN MAKE, BY THE WAY -- was something I should be ashamed of. So sorry.
|
|
Whatever. Drop it.
|
|
Whoa! Getting a little icy in here, boys. Whaddya say we take it down a notch, and all kick back with our favorite pastimes?

|
|
George, we can argue for eternity about which of us was the greatest, but at least we agree on one thing.
|
|
Nixon was the worst.
|
|
Come on, it wasn't all bad! I opened up China to the West. That was HUGE.
|
|
That's your thing, isn't it? Like how Lincoln always mentions he got shot. You're all: “sure, I disgraced the office, but remember China! What about China?”
|
|
He does bring it up a lot.
|
|
So pathetic.
|
|
But seriously, George, for the record -- I DID get shot.
|
|
Just stop.

One Last Presidential Prank
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:

Be back in five minutes, Marge. Bart and I are gonna egg the Presidential Estate.
|
|
That doesn't seem very patriotic of you. I thought you admired the President?
|
|
I did! For his first six months in office. Then, like all Americans, I realized that he's the problem with everything.
|
|
And on and on the cycle goes.
|
|
Anyway, it's free speech or something. You do want our son to learn about free speech, don't you?

I guess. Just don't use the organic eggs. They're expensive.
