| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
O Great Creator of Everyone and Everything Around Us... if you can hear me, please answer my prayers.
Template:Tapped Out Matt Groening (Phased) Icon
|
I can hear you, Homer... now that you've stopped screaming. What is it you want?
|
|
|
For you to get rid of that crossover episode. Futurama had a great run, but it's over now. Can't we just let it go in peace?
Template:Tapped Out Matt Groening (Phased) Icon
|
*sigh* I think I can fix things. But first I need you to build something for me.
|
|
|
Of course, O great one! Is it an ark?
|
|
|
Because if so, I need to know what exactly the difference is between an ark and a boat.
Template:Tapped Out Matt Groening (Phased) Icon
|
No. I need you to build something to bring me into your world.
|
|
|
A super sciencey time portal?
Template:Tapped Out Matt Groening (Phased) Icon
|
No. I need a-
|
|
|
A magic train to carry you here from your wizard school?

|
A WRITERS BUILDING! I'M A WRITER SO I NEED A WRITERS BUILDING, OKAY?
|
|
|
Oh. That's disappointing.
|
| Task: Build Writers Building (24h, 80,000)
|
|
|
Okay, I built the Writers Building.
|
|
|
It's old and crappy and doesn't have nearly enough offices for a show this size.
|
|
|
Also I built a fountain in front and put fish in it, even though it wasn't made for that and most of them will die.
|
|
It's perfect.
|
This appears:
then the player is taken to the character collection screen "Helpful Guest Stars", then receives the quest reward of 100 and  10.

|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 4
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
This Springfield seems different than the one I remember.
|
|
|
That's because I blew up the one you remember.
|
|
|
This is a new Springfield, built from the ground up by a giant finger.
|
|
|
So this world was created with the help of others?
|
|
|
Relax, Mr. Greening -- you still have "Created by" credit.
|
|
|
It's GRAY-ning.
|
Task: Make Matt Groening Correct the Pronunciation of his Name (6s, 1 reward)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
All Hail the Creator!
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Now that you're back, Mr. GRAY-ning, can you use your writing powers to get rid of that crossover episode?
|
|
|
I'd love to, Homer. But first I need you to finish the Writers Building.
|
|
|
I put super-cheap air conditioners in all the windows. What more do you need?
|
|
|
Snacks. Writers need energy...
|
|
|
...the kind of energy you can only get from a cabinet full of candy and a refrigerator full of sodas.
|
Task: Make Homer Purchase Snacks for the Writers Building (24h, Kwik-E-Mart)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 5
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Okay, the kitchen's stocked! And if we run out of anything, I'll go to the store and buy exactly the same stuff...
|
|
|
...so that after a few restockings we'll have extras of everything people don't like, but not enough of what they actually eat.
|
|
|
Great. But writers can't just live on snacks.
|
|
|
We need to be able to order lunch, so that when it comes we can stop working for an hour...
|
|
|
...and often longer.
|
|
|
Can't you just bring your lunch from home?
|
|
|
What? No. We have to order out so that we can wonder all morning when lunch is going to get there.
|
|
|
And then get mad if it doesn't arrive on time.
|
|
|
It's part of the creative process.
|
Task: Reach Level 7 and Build Krusty Burger and Make Homer Get Menus From Local Restaurants (4h, Any "Restuarant")
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 6
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Thanks for the menus, Homer.
|
|
|
I'm sure we'll be cycling through these same small number of restaurants for years.
|
|
|
Now all we need are some PA's to take our orders.
|
|
|
But we don't have any PA's.
|
|
|
Also, I have no idea what a PA is.
|
|
|
It's a production assistant.
|
|
|
Their job is to call in our lunch orders and pick up our food.
|
|
|
Can't we just call it in ourselves? Most of these places deliver.
|
|
|
What is this, not Hollywood?
|
|
|
I'm sorry, Homer, but this is just the way things are done.
|
Task: Make Homer Hire PA's (6h, Writers Building)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 7
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
So Homer, did you get us PA's?
|
|
|
Yep. I hired a bunch of recent college graduates who could make a fortune on Wall Street but for some reason would rather do menial work for very little pay.
|
|
|
So are you ready to write that crossover episode into non-existence?
|
|
|
Almost. We just need a few more supplies.
|
|
|
What? Pens? Papers? Dictionaries and Thesauri?
|
|
|
No, coffee. I need you to go on a coffee run.
|
|
|
Why a coffee run? We have freshly-made coffee right here in the coffee machine.
|
|
|
It has to be Starbucks.
|
|
|
It IS Starbucks!
|
|
|
We don't drink the free coffee, Homer.
|
|
|
IT'S JUST NOT THE WAY IT'S DONE!
|
Task: Make Homer Go on a Coffee Run (4h, The Java Server)
Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 8
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
All right, I've gotten all the things you need to write.
|
|
|
And I've got to say, it would've been a lot easier if you just gave me the whole list to start.
|
|
|
Sorry about that. But I like watching you move around.
|
|
|
Beautiful character design, if I say so myself.
|
|
|
My eyes are up here, creep.
|
|
|
Unfortunately, as a TV writer, I still need one thing to properly do my writing...
|
|
|
...a room full of other writers.
|
|
|
WHAT?! WHY?
|
|
|
I can't eat all this food myself.
|
Task: Make Homer Hire a Writing Staff (8h, Writers Building)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 9
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Not a bad writing staff, Homer. How'd you find them?
|
|
|
It was easy. I just went to the same place I found the PA's and offered more money.
|
|
|
So as my kids say...
|
|
|
...are we there yet?
|
|
|
Are we there yet?
|
|
|
ARE WE THERE YET?
|
|
|
Yes, Homer. We're ready to begin the rewriting process.
|
|
|
Thank God! Bless you, Matt Grow-ening.

When Worlds Collide Pt. 10
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Groaning, Greening, Grundig, Gopnick, Gehring...
|
|
|
I can't get it right, because NO ONE CAN GET IT RIGHT!
|
|
|
Homer, you're a wonderful character.
|
|
|
And that's why you love me. That's why everyone loves me!
|
|
|
I'm the amiable goof, the id with a heart of super-ego. I'm your greatest creation ever!
|
|
|
And that's why you have to destroy the Futurama crossover.
|
|
|
Oh, I will.
|
|
|
So after spending days setting up your writing building, you're finally going to do some writing?
|
|
|
Yes.
|
| Task: Make Matt Groening Work at his Other Office (12h, Brown House)
|
|
When Worlds Collide Pt. 11
| After tapping on Matt Groening's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
You'll be happy to know that I rewrote the Futurama crossover.
|
|
|
Thank you, Mr. whatever! No one wanted to see those two worlds collide.
|
|
|
No, they didn't.
|
|
|
Why did you look so sinister when you said that.
|
|
|
Because I decided not to get rid of Futurama, Homer.
|
|
|
I decided to get rid of you.
|
|
|
Get rid of me? But it's an episode of the Simpsons. You need me -- I do the jokes!
|
|
|
I've got Bender.
|
|
|
Well sure, he's a lot like me... only a robot, and crazier, and his voice is all...
|
|
|
Oh God, you really don't need me!
|
|
|
No, and now it's time to get rid of you forever.
|
|
|
But this is my show, and my game. You can't get rid of me just by writing.
|
|
|
Maybe not. But I'm not just a writer -- I'm also an animator.
|
| Task: Make Matt Groening Attempt to Erase Homer (24h)
|
|
|
Haha, that was great -- very Loony Toons-y.
|
|
|
Thanks. And no hard feelings about the Bender over you stuff.
|
|
|
Of course. We all liked Futurama. Sorry about it being cancelled.
|
|
|
Eh, it'd been fourteen years. After that many years, any show has run its course.
|
|
|
...

|
|
What was that?

Don't Feed After Midnight Pt. 1
| After the player has bought the Mutant Rabbit:
|
|
Hey Bart, look at this adorable bunny I found!
|
|
Better be careful, Lisa. You know what rabbits are good at!
|
|
|
Not really. Do you?
|
|
|
Not really. I assume it has something to do with running fast and/or eating carrots.
|
| Task: Make the Mutant Rabbit Multiply (12h)
|
|
|
Lis, is that supposed to happen that way?
|
|
|
Not really. I think there's supposed to be more than one, and that the whole process takes longer than two seconds.
|
|
|
Ugh! That doesn't make it sound any better!
|
|
Don't Feed After Midnight Pt. 2
| When the player logs in on November 11:
|
|
|
Hmm, all the extra bunnies seem to go away every twelve hours.
|
|
|
And all the Spucklers seem really well-fed every twelve hours. Weird, huh?
|
|
|
It's almost like they're killing and eating them... which is fine, because the rabbits aren't me.
|
|
|
They're not me, right?
