Gameplay

Space is Hot Right Now

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 1

After the user logs in on March 9: Just look at Springfield. A few years ago, there was nothing here but acres of healthy green grass. It was just your typical post-nuclear-catastrophe wasteland. Lush greenery as far as the eye could see. And now, it's a bustling town once again. Honestly, I'm unimpressed. Seriously? Look at all the houses, and decorations, and people... I don't see too many premium items... Well, no. The owner of this town really SHOULD sink more cash into the project. It's money so well spent... If you let two entrepreneurial guys like us loose in here, it'd be RIDICULOUS how much we'd get done. What are you proposing? I don't know. We need a project. What are kids excited about today? I read somewhere that they like soccer, and the color green. And positivity. They dislike rudeness and shades of green they feel are too light or too dark. Hmmm. Not much to go on. We need to do a little market research. Let's hire some kids to be our ears. Task: Make Lisa Research What Kids Are Into (2h, Springfield Elementary or Simpson House) If the user has Database: Task: Make Database Do an Online Opinion Poll (2h, Java Server) The results are in, and the numbers could not be clearer. Kids are into space. And the hottest, most trending site in all of space is a little rock called... Mars. Then that's where we need to go. We should organize a mission to Mars. Keep in mind we have zero expertise -- and zero interest, to be honest -- in rocketry, math, exploration, or the future. But what we do have is passion. And passion will get you to Mars faster than any rocket. System Message We're not joking about this. Everybody loves space. Check out our tribute to the great beyond in the store! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 2

After completing Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 1: I've been doing some research, and here's what no one will tell you -- going to Mars is EXPENSIVE. It costs MONEY. Yes, but raising money is EASY when you have passion. The moment our friends in the private sector get a load of our passion, they'll be throwing money at us. Task: Reach Level 11 and Build the Control Building Task: Make Mr. Burns Cough Up Money (2h, Burns Manor or Control Building) If the user has The Rich Texan: Task: Make Rich Texan Sponsor a Mars Mission (3h, Town Hall) If the user has Artie Ziff: Task: Make Artie Ziff Waste His Money, Too (4h, Java Server) I told you raising $20 billion would be easy. And just like that... we can afford to turn on the lights. I agree. Besides a launch vehicle, a Mars lander, habitats capable of sustaining life on a barren rock... ...some way to grow food there, a means of communicating with Mars, and a staff of thousands here on Earth to monitor our Mars colony... Other than that, all we need is astronauts. Quest reward: Exploration Inc., 100 and 10

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 3

After completing Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 2: We need some way to attract astronauts to our Mars mission. We should put on a show. Really dazzle the people. But not just any show. No. It should be the best show. I almost want to capitalize that name. The Best Show. That's how good this astronaut-finding show will be. We'll serve refreshments. Drinks, appetizers, handburgers... The word is "hamburgers." That's neither here Nora, there. How's Tuesday at 9:00 PM work for you? It's as good a time as any other. Now let's find us some astronauts! I'll go! I'm your first volunteer Martian! Former astronaut Homer Simpson! What an honor. Last time I went to space, I almost killed everybody. Great, great. We'll give your application serious consideration. Task: Make Adults Attend Town Meeting [x4] (3h, Town Hall) Excluded Character: Homer Task: Make Homer Try to Fit Into His Old Spacesuit (3h, Town Hall) I think that went well. But why so many questions about what we'll do if we find life on Mars? I thought Martians were science fiction. I wouldn't know. I'm not a sci-fi guy. Space stories always bored me, frankly. System Message Skeptical about life on Mars, eh? Well wait until they get a load of this guy. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 4

After completing Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 3: The thing about space rockets is, if you don't build them EXACTLY right, they blow up. It's really no different than when we started that coffee company. Refresh my memory -- why didn't that coffee idea work? It would have, except it turns out there are already three coffee stores on every street corner in the civilized world. That's right. Circling back to this Mars fiasco, why don't we use some of our second-tier astronaut candidates to test out the equipment? Task: Make "Candidates" Be Guinea Pigs [x3] (6h, Exploration Inc.) Excluded Character: Homer Were you as deeply moved as I was by the sight of most of our Mars equipment not blowing up when tested? A 65% success rate. It's pretty awe-inspiring. So the only remaining question is: who do we blast off to Mars for the rest of their lives? All I know for certain is: not Homer Simpson. Other than that, it's wide open, my friend. System Message Tune into this week's Simpsons and find out who the real candidates will be. Sunday 8/7 Central on FOX! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Premium gameplay

A Colony For Ants

A Colony For Ants Pt. 1

After buying Mars Colony: It is with great excitement and a profound sense of honoring my calendar that I attend the opening of this... thing. It's a model of Exploration, Incorporated's Mars habitat! In every detail, it's just like the real thing! People are going to be living in THAT? The kitchen doesn't even have an island! My gods, there's no home theater! It's no McMansion, that's for sure. But it's got everything our intrepid pioneers will need as they colonize a new world! I'm pretty sure even pioneers need a hot tub. Where the hell are they supposed to soak away their cares? Answer me that, geniuses. Luxurious, it's not. I will grant you that. But the spirit of adventure will-- Let's call it what it is -- a dump! There's zero flow, the ceilings can't be more than seven feet, and I see no molding, crown or otherwise. If that's the future, count me out! Task: Make Homer Mock Mars (6s, Mars Colony) On job start: I mean how can you live on Mars, if you can't even fit in the hab? You could probably fit a puppy in there, though. Like a cute, little future science-y playpen. I mean... what a sham. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Colony For Ants Pt. 2

After completing A Colony For Ants Pt. 1: We need to "sexy" up this hab model. The modern, fatso astronaut just isn't impressed by yesterday's design compromises. We should emphasize our Mars mission's greatest strength -- partnership with some of America's most exciting brands! We're talking Mega-Charge Batteries, Draft-Pigs-dot-com, even Fig Glutens! How's THAT for sexy? We'll sell ad space in the hab, then use the money to add all kinds of ludicrous, over-the-top luxury features. I love it. I am SLIGHTLY worried that making this colony a complete fiction will lessen its ability to accurately depict life on Mars. It's a fine line, but I'm confident we can walk it. I am, too. I just wanted to hear you say it. Okay, let's start digging a hole for the Olympic-sized swimming pool. Task: Upgrade the Mars Colony [x4] Task: Make Homer Mock But Secretly Love Mars [x2] (3h, Mars Colony) On Homer job end: System Message Keep signing corporate sponsors and watch the Mars Colony blossom into a fully commercialized "educational" exhibit! Quest reward: 100 and 10

10 Leagues Under Squidport

After buying Yellow Submersible: Arr, a yellow submersible. An old first-mate and I used to sing our love of submersibles which be yellow. Then one day, he gathered up our lyrics and chord changes and dashed off to Liverpool, England. I wonder whatever became of him and those music publishing rights. Task: Reach Level 15 and Build Squidport Task: Make Old Sea Captain Reminisce (30m, Squidport Entrance) Task: Send Yellow Submersible Down Under (24h) The yellow submersible found something, it did! Let's see what we got! I didn't think anything was down there except the bodies of the many, many men I've killed. System Message You technically found it, so finders keepers! Keep sending the Yellow Submersible on missions and see what it finds! Quest reward: 100 and 10 The submersible 24 hours job to Dive for Booty has a chance to find a Squidport or Ornate Pier tile, even if you can't build anymore! The maximum Boardwalk tiles that can be in inventory is 400 or the inventory will glitch them so you can't place them. Pier tiles has no limit.

Is There Life On Mars?

After completing Space is Hot Right Now Pt. 3 and tapping on Number 51's exclamation mark: As the Directors of Exploration, Incorporated's Mars Colony, can you comment on the possibility of life on Mars? Kent, we don't expect to find any life on the Red Planet. Phew. My ancient race has escaped detection by Earthlings once more. If there IS any life on Mars, it is no doubt far too small and stupid to pose a threat, however feeble, to mankind. We would probably just walk up to this weakling Martian race and point off into the distance, like we saw something interesting there. Then, when the gullible Martian stupidly turns to look where we are pointing, we'll knock it cold with a single punch. All our simulations of first contact with any Martian intelligence confirm this is exactly how it will go down. They're idiots, Kent. And we're taking their planet from them, and there's nothing they can do about it. Okay, well now it's personal. Task: Make Number 51 Try to Prove His Existence (6h, Exploration Inc.) Quest reward: 100 and 10
