Gameplay

The Whack is Back

Notes: Every tapped snake gives you 10 Wild West Event Currency! Tapping Snake Speakers attracts the snakes to them!

The Whack is Back Pt. 1

After the user logs in on May 9: ...Whack... ...ing... ...day... Whack...ing...Day... Whacking Day! Whacking-Day-Whacking-Day-Whacking-Day!!! LISA!!!! Do you know what day is almost here?! I'll give you a hint: it involves whacking, and it's a day. Jeez, let me guess... Can we just skip our beloved family snake-bludgeoning festival this year? Look around! It's Western times! Let's just focus on the current theme! Can't we lay off the animals, and just focus on gunning down our fellow human beings? Not this year, Lisa! You tricked me out of Whacking Day for the last two years in a row. Besides, I'm tired of battling humans in the streets. Humans are smart! Cold-brained reptiles are much easier to hunt! Fine. But no snake-whacking! We're going to do this thing my way! Task: : Pat 5 Snakes to Sleep System Message Stock up on traditional Whacking Day goodies before it's too late! 300px Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Whack is Back Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Lisa, if we just PAT the snakes, they'll lose respect for us. And respect for humans is probably very important in snake culture. Can't I whack just one? Can you just smack them around a little? That might not be too bad. Well, it's not as good as murder. Any idiot could see that. But I suppose it's better than just leaving the snakes alone. Which would be AWFUL. Task: : Slap 5 Snakes Down Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Whack is Back Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Dad, the snakes look miserable. Can't we just leave them alone? If you take getting whacked away from the snakes, they've got nothing. Everything you're saying is incredibly selfish and inhumane. ... Ugh, fine, I'll stop. And I was just about to double whack a big one! His head's a little bumpy, but we'll just put a hat on him and he's good as new! Quest reward: Western Snake, 100 and 100

Homer Live

After the user logs in on May 9: You know what the best kind of comedy is? Improv! Last week you said improv was the worst kind of comedy. Oh, it is. The jokes are terrible. But you laugh like crazy at them anyway... which is what makes it the best kind of comedy. So bad jokes that people come up with on the spot are actually good jokes? Exactly! Can you imagine if someone actually did improv with good jokes? No Lisa, I can't. System Message Watch Homer, LIVE for the first time ever, as he improvs to your Tweets on The Simpsons this Sunday, 8/7 central on FOX! 300px
