Battle of the Brands

Battle of the Brands Pt. 1

After the user logs in on September 21st: Ah, the coffee break: the sweet spot between beer breakfast and lager lunch. If you're looking for donuts, forget about it. Burns is on another health kick: all we got is Kombucha and kale. No donuts?! This isn't like health insurance, you can't just take it away! Task: Make Homer Take a Personal Day (3h, Simpson House) You left work and came all the way home just for donuts?! Some men climb mountains, some explore the oceans depths; I brave traffic in search of the elusive baker's dozen of delicacies! Oh, for the love of... Just go buy some from the Lard Lad. The tire store? It's a donut store! Really?! No wonder the pink tread on my car tires wore right off. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Battle of the Brands Pt. 2

After completing Battle of the Brands Pt. 1: Have I travelled back to a time before giant boys walked the earth?! Where's the Lard Lad statue? Relax, folks. I'm Robert Chan, CEO of Tianjin Mining and Smelting and Donuts. I'm here with the flesh-and-blood Lard Lad to announce that we're sunsetting his likeness and rebranding with something fresh and modern. Isn't "sunsetting" just corporate doublespeak for "killing off?" Makeup on the old mug ain't a bad idea. Maybe I'll do some re-Moe-deling. Youse corporate suits always got good ideas up your sleeves. Someday I'll have sleeves. To commemorate the unveiling of our new icon, we've partnered with local businesses to offer gift cards, redeemable at all Lard Lad locations. As a reviled member of the local business community… I'll pass. Task: Make Homer Check Mail for Gift Cards (3h, New Lard Lad) Task: Collect Gift Cards [x12] (3h, New Lard Lad) Characters: Laird Ladd, Homer, Lisa, Moe, Ned Quest reward: 100 and 10

Battle of the Brands Pt. 3

After completing Battle of the Brands Pt. 2: Since I'm flush with gift cards, this Prince of Plastic demands four dozen of your finest donuts, please. Sorry sir, all these are only good for one donut. Our prices went up to reflect the ostentatious image of our new brand. What the EpiPen?! A business charging more for the same product? Maybe I should glitz up the Quimby image. A little flash might help detract from all my 'er, many broken promises. If rap culture and the Catholic church have taught us anything, it's that nothing says "classy" like solid gold everything. Task: Make Homer Buy Gift Cards as Lazy Presents (3h, New Lard Lad) Task: Collect Gift Cards [x12] (3h, New Lard Lad) Characters: Laird Ladd, Homer, Moe, Lisa, Apu, Ned, Quimby Quest reward: 100 and 10

Battle of the Brands Pt. 4

After completing Battle of the Brands Pt. 3: Must find... alternative donut. Calories dwindling... pants loosening... shirt buttons relaxing… Apu, a dozen donuts, stat! Insert directly into this patient's donut hole. Sorry, Mister Homer, but the health inspector was coming, so I donated my old donuts to the food bank. Awwww! The needy get all the breaks! Moe, I normally look to you to get fried but now I need that “fried” to be donuts. Sorry, all I got is a pickled egg with the yolk missin'. Damn rats love my yolks! Let the rats have their yolks. I'll find my own donuts. Task: Make Homer Search for Donuts (3h, Kwik-E-Mart) Task: Collect Gift Cards [x25] (3h, Kwik-E-Mart) Characters: Laird Ladd, Homer, Apu, Ned, Quimby, Marge Here donut-donut-donut!

Battle of the Brands Pt. 5

After the user logs in on September 26 at 1am BST and completing Battle of the Brands Pt. 4: These new donuts are great! There's “fresh rebranded” flavor in every bite. They're snackable, munchable, swallowable and a bunch of other “ables” that I'll make up later! Damn my voracious donut envy! Gimme one! Sorry sir, the price has gone up again. Just like college tuition, if something is more expensive, it makes people want it more. As a Springfield College grad, I say that's stupid! Now gimme-gimme!! Task: Make Homer Beg for Gift Cards (3h, New Lard Lad) Task: Collect Gift Cards [x30] (3h, New Lard Lad) Characters: Laird Ladd, Homer, Apu, Lisa, Moe, Quimby, Cletus Quest reward: 100 and 10

Battle of the Brands Pt. 6

After completing Battle of the Brands Pt. 5: You tore down my image for this?! Someone tell me where the face is on this thing so I can spit in it! It's like a Salvador Dali sculpture gone horribly wrong. The statue may be a melted mess but these new donuts are great. I can feel the dark donut-less cloud lifting from over my head. That's the actual clouds, Dad. Look, the sun is coming out. The Cronenbergian monstrosity has become a thermodynamic weapon! Snell's bells! Refraction claims another victim, with the focused light and the BURNing! Well, this was a bust. At least we managed to drum up business with all the hype. Actually sir, we haven't made a single cent. Everyone's been paying with the free gift cards. Recall those cards before Tianjin Mining and Smelting and Donuts stock plummets and we're bought out! Hellooo... Task: Collect Gift Cards [x36] (3h, Kwik-E-Mart) Characters: Laird Ladd, Homer, Lisa, Ned, Apu, Quimby, Mr. Burns Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Beer Minimum Pt. 2

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark: There's nothin' here! I was promised golden beer taps, stools that spin, and a real chocolate fountain, not this mud one… You ran out of money.

Task: Make Moe Dig a Tunnel to Moe's Tavern (3h, Moe's Brewing Co.) If you want something done right, you have to get your hands dirty. My hands were dirty, so I was way ahead of the game. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Beer Minimum Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Mister Szyslak, your building is half-finished and hazardous. Someone could really get hurt here. I put up one of them "enter at your own risk" signs.

On behalf of Globaltech-Omnidyn-Synthecorp, we'd like to give back to the social elite who so often get left behind. Huzzah! Why should the poor be the only ones who get to suckle at the teat of government subsidy? I wonder how much I could get for my other kidney...

Farm to Table

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Wow! A Fancy Farms in our humble little Springfield. Would you like to sample our organic, vegan-friendly, grass-fed, GMO-hostile asparagus water? Cecil? What are you doing here? Diversification, little girl. You don't put all your cage-free eggs into one hand-harvested flax reed basket. Here, try some wheat grass. Sounds delicious! It isn't. Task: Make Lisa Browse Fancy Farms (1h, Fancy Farms) Camel milk, emu cheese, Salba seed ice cream... Even I'm not pretentious enough for this stuff.

Tell you what, I'm going to throw you a lifesaver. That's it, Life Savers! No, stay outta candy – empty calories and empty career opportunities.

Death of a Spokesman Pt. 2

After tapping on Laird Ladd's exclamation mark: The market research is in: no one cares about old people. They take forever at checkouts, smell like ointment, and are a constant reminder of our own mortality. What do I do? I tried wearing grillz but the teeth I had holding them on fell out. We've got to associate you with youth, vitality, and pulling all-nighters. We've got to get your raisin face on cans of Buzz Cola.

Quimby's Broken Promises Billboard

After buying Quimby's Broken Promises Billboard: In keeping with the 'er court mandate, my accountability will now be tracked on this new billboard. Looks like I'm doing great!

Didn't you promise to stop lying to the public? ...Reset the clock. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Beach Hideaway

After buying Beach Hideaway: Ooh! An exclusive beach hideaway. That beach body of yours needs to be hidden away. Your body shaming has no effect on a man who will soon be drunk on Mai Tais and swimming with his dolphin pals. The dolphins don't want to swim with you. Your leaking body oils attract sharks. I like to think it's attracting more friends.

Corporate Kickstarts Intro

After the user logs in on September 28th and tapping on Gil's Corporate Kickstart mark: The city is broke, people! We are hemorrhaging money and need cash fast, or we'll all be selling our likeness to T-shirt companies. But Moe, not you. I could pull the city up by its bootstraps... No! We will not turn to you again to solve our financial crises. You could all turn to Gil! Mostly 'cause I lost that vertebrae in my spine that makes ME able to turn to YOU.

Corporate Kickstarts Wave 1

After completing Corporate Kickstarts Intro: Big Business to the rescue! Stock your Springfield with corporate juggernauts and get donuts back with every purchase. Ha-cha-cha! When does 'er, the traditional political "palm greasing" come into play? Every franchise contract comes with a standard government bribe. That is very comforting. Offer accepted: Oh, boy! This could be Gil's biggest break since both my thumbs! Offer declined: Oh, come on! Now the bank is gonna repossess the flaps on my cardboard box. It gets chilly without the flaps...

Luxury Condos and Don'ts

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Lenny, you live here? Sure do! Want the grand tour? Absolutely! Okay. Stand still and turn your head. You just took the grand tour. Task: Make Marge Tour Lenny's Condo (30s, Springfielde Glenne Condos) So, I sleep in this corner, I eat in that one, and over there, that's my entertainment corner. That's only three corners. That's why rent is so cheap. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Corporate Kickstarts Wave 2

After the user logs in on October 1st and tapping on Gil's Corporate Kickstart mark:: Ol' Gil's back with a brink-of-bankruptcy bookstore! Get bargain basement prices on this dying medium. Books will always have a place in yard sale milk crates and on the shelves of penniless schools like ours. Offer accepted: A sale! At this rate, I'll be eatin' broken hotdogs and bathing in briny hotdog water by Sunday night! Offer declined: Just you wait. Ol' Gil will have the last laugh when you wind up on the street with him. And I've got the best spot out there – under a nice shady tree and out of the mud puddle splash zone.

Night at the Book Museum

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Hey, they have ebooks on paper now! It's called a book, Homer. That's how people used to read. Uggh! Turning two hundred pages?! I'm just one man, Marge. Task: Make Marge Peruse Joke Titles (1h, Bookaccino's) Sir, please be careful with your coffee around the books. Why sell coffee and books in the same place anyway? Next you'll be telling me they sell gasoline alongside cigarettes. Actually, service stations do. Amazing! This world is passing me by. Quest reward: 100 and 10
