Act 3 Gameplay

Meet My Trophy Life

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 11

After the user logs in on July 13 and tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Co-operative Tap Ball is a hit, sweetie! Now it's time to reward yourself by inventing a slew of arbitrary rules. Really? Well, okay. I guess it'd be nice if we could encourage players to be nice to each other. Great! Rule one: any player who isn't smiling gets ejected and receives a lifetime ban. Rule two: when a player scores, the other team must congratulate her, and they have to mean it. If she feels like maybe they're faking, the game is over. You're doing it, honey! You're power-mad! This is fun! Rule three: if you like a boy on the other team, he has to like you back! Now we're playing some sports! Task: Make Lisa Invent More Rules (24h, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 12

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: People seem to be losing interest in Tap Ball. What do I do now? Ach! No sport is interesting for very long without a wee scandal. Got any cheaters in your league? Cheating is part of the game. Literally. If you don't cheat, it's a two-stroke penalty. But what about a good PDD scandal? What's a PDD? Performance-degrading drugs. By which I mean beer. Hey everybody! Follow me to Moe's! We've got a match tonight! Task: Make Homer Create a Tap Ball Scandal (12h, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Tap Ball Players Drink at Moe's [x7] (8h, Moe's Tavern) Characters: Homer, Marge, Burns, Apu, Jasper, Ned, Lugash, Crazy Cat Lady, Drederick Tatum, Grampa, Comic Book Guy Quest reward: 100 and 10

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 13

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Gather 'round, team. Tonight is the championship match. Before we go out there, I want to say how proud I am of you. We've faced a lot of adversity this season. I'm not one for inspiring speeches, but as the team's leader, and a God-like figure in your eyes, I know you crave my peerless leadership. Let's leave it all on the field tonight, guys. Let's have no regrets. Whatever happens in the next ten innings, and the subsequent six quarters, I know you'll give me everything you've got. And I'll make you this promise: That come what may, I'm going to keep changing the rules so that we win 1000-0. There is literally no way for us to lose. We've already won. So do whatever you want out there. I honestly don't care if you even show up. We will still win. By a lot. So let's get out there and DO THIS!!!!!! Task: Make Tap Ball Players Play in the Championship Game [x4] (24h, Stadium Entrance) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Act 3 Premium Gameplay

Strongman Homer

I'm so proud of you Homie, inventing a successful sport. And think of all the exercise you're getting. I made the field small on purpose so I didn't have to run. Maybe you'll get fit by accident. I had a dream that I was fit once. Me too. System Message Strongman Homer is now available in the store! Only Referee Homer can play Tap Ball though. Them's the rules.

The Abe-ador

The Abe-ador Pt. 1

After tapping on Grampa's exclamation mark: Bart, did I ever tell you about the time I was a Spanish bullfighter? Honestly, what's the best way to stop this story before it starts? Be straight with me, man. You don't believe me, is that it? Well, I'll prove it to ya! El Matador Americano Stupido is back! First I'll need a red cape. The confessional booths in the church have those lovely red curtains. Just the color a bull loves to charge... Task: Make Toreador Grampa Steal Confessional Curtains (1h, First Church of Springfield) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Abe-ador Pt. 2

After tapping on Grampa's exclamation mark: Now, the key to bullfighting is to get the bulls good and mad at ya. An angry bull makes mistakes. You gotta know how to insult a bull. Remember that bulls don't understand English. They speak Spanish. Which is why the best bullfighters are all Spaniards. Let me show you how it's done. Umm... Grampa, I don't know where you're going to find bulls around here. I don't know what you're talking about boy, they're everywhere! Task: Make Toreador Grampa Taunt Springfielders (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Abe-ador Pt. 3

After tapping on Grampa's exclamation mark: Now, once the bull is hoppin' mad at ya, he'll charge. That's when you stick him with your sword, and wait for him to bleed to death. As a general rule, I approve of all violence. But even I think this sport is disturbing. I need to get me a sword. Isn't there a pirate that lives down by the shore? The Sea Captain? He's no pirate. I think he mainly leads whale-watching daytrips. Not a happy man. He talks like a pirate. That whole "argh" thing. Yeah, and it's annoying. Funny, you don't see him around much anymore, do you? It's like everybody just decided all at once they were tired of him. It happens. Disco Stu went that way. Sad. But, back to the mission at hand -- time to steal some swords! Task: Reach Level 15 and Build The Frying Dutchman Task: Make Abe Steal Swords from the Sea Captain (12h, The Frying Dutchman) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Abe-ador Pt. 4

After tapping on Grampa's exclamation mark: Got my sword, and I'm ready to execute some majestic animals in the slowest, most painful way possible, to the delight of everyone! Hey, watch it with that sword. You're swinging it around like a maniac. "Maniac" is my trademark! The crowd loved me because I was just as likely to kill myself as the bull. Most of me is replacement limbs stitched on by Spanish surgeons after I hacked off parts of my body. Lotta Dr. Frankenstein-types in Spain. Wonderful country, Spain. Great food, great architecture, and great Frankensteins. Task: Make Toreador Grampa Practice Swordsmanship (24h) On job start: Abe! You can't wave a sword around in public! Now, if it was an AR-15 assault rifle you were brandishing, that would be fine. It would be especially fine if you were to carry it openly into a restaurant -- -- as if you were desperate for someone to challenge your Constitutional right to be a scary creep. Assault rifles are how we defend freedom and stop bad guys from ever committing any crimes. It's why crime has ceased to exist -- because everybody is armed to the teeth. But a SWORD???????? Swords are dangerous! Aw, come on, Clancy. When he's slicing and dicing, he's not talking. And when he's not talking, my life is wonderful. Fine. But if he hurts anyone, YOU have to arrest him. AND do the investigating and statement-taking and all that yucky police work stuff. Deal! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Abe-ador Pt. 5

After tapping on Grampa's exclamation mark: Hey! Why am I waving a sword around? What's this cape around my neck? You were being a bullfighter. Just like in the old days. I was never a bullfighter! How could I possibly have had time, when I was the world's most celebrated pesterer of convenience store shoppers? Here, let me show you how it's done... Task: Make Toreador Grampa Pester People in Kwik-E-Mart (8h, Kwik-E-Mart) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Is So Mountain High Enough

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Hey, look! A mountain just appeared out of nowhere. That's... normal, right? Cripes! I've gotten pretty used to entire buildings being erected in 24 hours. And it certainly makes sense that the construction can be completed instantaneously if you lob some donuts at the building site. But a whole mountain? Son, I gotta admit. This one scares me. You hear that, Sky Finger? You scared an old man. Nice going. You just had to splash some premium currency around, didn't ya? Couldn't bear to leave a single item un-purchased. Now, son. You should thank the Sky Finger for spending its hard-earned money-- No! I'm through kowtowing to the whales! Do you know what it's like to live in a town that's constantly changing? When I look out the window, I never know what I'm going to see! Maybe there'll be some massive new stadium where Moe's used to be. Or maybe a thousand identical blue houses will be crammed up against my backyard fence! I can't take it any more!!!!! Just stop already!!!!! Son... if the whales stop buyin' stuff, EA will pull the plug on this whole thing tomorrow. They ain't running a charity. Then you, me and everyone we know just ceases to exist. Poof! ... Uh... hey there, Sky Finger. How we doing? Listen... about what I said before... Just a joke, all right? We love our whales. Really. You guys are the most special, wonderful, world-paying-for folks in the whole universe. So what'd say we kick the tires on your latest purchase? Let me at that Murderhorn! Task: Make Homer Climb the Murderhorn Again (20h, Murderhorn) Hey, look -- a yeti. *ROAR* Watch out, Homer! Them snow abominables will eat anything that moves! Lenny, this is a video game. I could eat HIM if I felt like it. In fact, I AM kind of hungry... *extremely worried noise* ... Oh my heavens, you did it! You ate an entire yeti. I can't believe what I just saw. Mmmm... mythical creature. Anyway, it seemed like the easiest way to wrap this mission up. Now... on to the next thing! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Spin Up to the Streets

Spin Up to the Streets Pt. 1

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark: Bad news, Ralphie. Your mother signed you up for dance classes. I know that's something no little boy wants to hear. Dancers wear tights just like superheroes. I suppose that's true. Anyway, just get through a few lessons, then we'll convince your ma to sign you up for a sport instead. Okay? Dancing is when you just can't stop. Shake it. Shake that thing. I don't like where this is headed... Task: Make Ballet Ralph Go to Dance Class (1h, Springfield Elementary) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Spin Up to the Streets Pt. 2

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark: I hope your first day of dance class wasn't too embarrassing, Ralphie. I expressed my laughings and my cryings through movement! Uh... that's great. Good for you. When I point my toe in any direction, there's a funny french name for it. I love dance-y class. Oh, boy. Task: Make Ballet Ralph Go to Dance Class (1h, Springfield Elementary) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Spin Up to the Streets Pt. 3

After tapping on Ralph's exclamation mark: Teacher says I'm the best rock in the dance where some of us are rocks. Great, son. Just remember, pretty soon we can quit awful, awful dance class and get you playing sports. What's sports? Oh, God! The words that mean I've failed as a father! This isn't happening! I gotta get you out of that dance class. Teacher says dance is the only legimitate art form. Now you're dissing other art forms -- INCLUDING slam poetry AND glass blowing -- and I'm getting mad. I need to talk to this teacher of yours... While daddy is shooting teacher, everyone enjoy my sumbersaults. Task: Make Ballet Ralph Do a Somersault (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Spin Up to the Streets Pt. 4

After tapping on Ralph's exclamation mark: Son, I talked to this dance teacher of yours, and... he says you're really talented. He says he's never seen ANYBODY who felt less shame to be wearing tights in front of others. That's mostly what being a good dancer is, apparently. Lack of shame. Daddy is proud of me. But not too proud. I'm sorry, son. I AM proud. I've just got these old-fashioned prejudices against boys and dance. Dance with me, daddy. I can't, son. I just can't. You don't need to be ma-shamed. No, I mean I physically can't. Daddy has a 150% blockage in every artery in his body. Doctor says it's statistically impossible I'm still alive. But I can still go to your recital. Recitals are just sitting. And Daddy is great at sitting! Task: Make Ballet Ralph Dance in the Recital (12h, Springfield Elementary) Task: Make Wiggum Attend Dance Recital (12h, Springfield Elementary) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Spin Up to the Streets Pt. 5

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark: Ralphy, you're an amazing dancer! Your Dad is real, real proud of you. Imagine how these new movement skills of yours will translate to football, or basketball, or any sport at all! Now that dance class is over, I mean. Tap class. Tap class now! Oh. You want to go to tap dancing class, now? Yeah, I guess I saw that coming... Task: Make Ballet Ralph Tap Dance (8h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Team with a Capital "I"

Team with a Capital "I" Pt. 1

After completing Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 12, unlocking The Gridiron and tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: We did it, gang! We worked together to accomplish an astounding goal! This is a testament to teamwork and community! I didn't do anything. I just watched. Yeah. I was going to help you tap, but then my index finger felt like seeing a movie. Well, okay. But everybody else pitched in! I took a nap in my cruiser. Was that helpful? I actually did everything in my power to sabotage your efforts. Don't rightly know why. I just did. Yar. I can't believe this! A few of us worked our tails off to earn prizes, and now we just have to share them with all the freeloaders. Task: Make Lisa Sulk (12h, Simpson Home) Task: Make Non-Tap Ball Players Admire Tap Ball Prizes (12h, Stadium Entrance) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Team with a Capital "I" Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: What's wrong, Lisa? I just can't believe some people. They get all the benefits of Tap Ball fun, without contributing anything to its success! Think of it this way. Millions of people can play it and have fun for free, just because 1% of the players spend a lot of money. We refer to these people as "whales." And they're perfect angels. Not like all those lousy non-whales! How I hate them!!!!!!!!! It's just... it's just that whenever someone doesn't drop cash on our game, I feel so sad inside. Oh, honey. Non-whales don't care that their "rational spending behaviour" makes a little girl cry. Because they have no hearts. And no souls. And they probably like to hurt others. Now let's focus on the people who DO have souls. Let's thank the whales! Task: Make Springfielders Thank the Whales (24h, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10
