The Real Moms of Springfield

The Real Moms of Springfield Intro

After the user logs in on May 15th: Marge! If it isn't my favorite blue-haired matriarch. Ruth?! I thought you were in jail? Did you get out for good behavior? No, I beat up six inmates while I was inside. But Quimby pardons ladies for a week every Mother's Day to be with their kids. Err, uh, you never know if any of them are mine. Your mother? No, my kids. If the user has Ruth Powers: Task: Make Ruth Powers Think of a New Deal (6s, Simpson House) Task: Make Marge Question the Penal System (6s, Simpson House) Attention, residents of Evergreen Terrace, I present to you a brand-new deal! Finally! Wait, what was the old deal? The old deal was mothers being treated as second-class citizens! Hrm, that's some pretty strong wording. But if it means I get better treatment, and stuff, then count me in! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 1

After completing The Real Moms of Springfield Intro: Alright, ladies, first order of business... we need to form a coalition, something to sound more official. What about Movement of Mothers? "MOMs" -- that does sound more official! Ugh, fine. I guess it doesn't matter what we're called as long as we have equal rights-- But what about the gifts?! Gifts? What gifts? Every Mother's Day, Milhouse gives me some lame handmade candle. He tries to pass them off as "artisanal", but the craftsmanship is abhorrent. My Martin gets all A's in his classes, but his Mother's Day Gifts are B.S.! Setting this right should be our first act! Task: Collect Crappy Mother's Day Gifts [x150] Task: Make Marge Rethink Her Participation (4h, Simpson House) Come on, Marge, you must see through this. What means more to you... some cheap handmade tchotchke, or getting to join the military? Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've already been in the military. I'm kind of leaning toward the well-thought-out gifts option. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 2

After completing The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 1: It's... another one of those Kitchen Carnivals? Does this count as a repeat gift? No, this one is a lot bigger. See? I deep-fried the old one for scale. And I know I've given you macaroni art, but this is penne art! Hrm, I think the other mothers were right. We need to reset the expectations for what good gift-giving looks like. Again, I don't care about gifts. But I like your energy. Task: Collect Crappy Mother's Day Gifts [x150] Task: Make Marge Support the MOMs (4h, Simpson House) If the user has Ruth Powers: Task: Make Ruth Powers Write New Deal 2.0 (4h, Simpson House) I'm ready to present the newest deal, New Deal 2.0. Are you ready to call the MOMs, Marge? I don't mind meeting at the coffee shop, but I don't want to cause a ruckus. What if we distract an aspiring novelist who's there working on the next great Hollywood adaptation? Great art follows the revolution, and the revolution begins at the coffee shop at noon. Make sure to call ahead. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 3

After completing The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 2: Welcome, MOMs, and let me first say that it moves me to see so many women here and ready to participate. Oh, I'm just here to be as close to the drama as possible. And I'm here because they let you use the restroom without buying anything. See? This is the kind of male privilege I'm talking about. Privilege? He's using hand soap as hair gel... Task: Collect Crappy Mother's Day Gifts [x200] Task: Make MOMs Meet for Java [x3] (4h, Jittery Joe's Coffee) Imagine a few days where the men of Evergreen Terrace were gone. Our quality of life would go through the roof! Now, imagine if all the men left Springfield. Okay, now imagine a world of no men. Did I go too far? I'm done imagining it --I'm ready for it to be a real thing! My deadbeat husband only works one day a week! Sounds like Helen is in. Who else is with me?! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 4

After completing The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 3: I have to go to Weasel Island for the day? Last time I went there I got sick from drinking too much seawater. Or not enough, I can't remember which it was... or anything from that weekend. Well, it's part of the proposal Ruth passed around. It's only for a day anyways. That way all of us women can enjoy a brunch together, and then take the kids shopping for better gifts! I think I might like this new era. Task: Collect Crappy Mother's Day Gifts [x200] Task: Make Men Vacate Neighborhood [x3] (4h, Squidport Entrance or Brown House) Task: Make MOMs Enjoy a Better Life [x3] (4h, Shops) Task: Make Youngsters Shop for Their Moms [x3] (4h, Shops) This is terrible! The only stores left at this mall are candle stores, candle booths and candle kiosks. You're telling me. It's no fun trying to shoplift from a kiosk. Ruth, how much longer is this going to last? I can't take anymore brunches -- the bottomless Shirley Temples are giving me cavities. It'll last as long as we want it to. There's no return boat from Weasel Island, so they'll meet any demands we set! maniacal laugh* It's time to use my most clever disguise: a wig and glasses! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 5

After completing The Real Moms of Springfield Pt. 4: Dad? Dad! I mean, Homer! If you don't make nice with Ruth Powers, you'll never make it back to Springfield! You won't get to see Mom, I mean your wife -- your daughter Lisa's mother. Man, farce is confusing... I don't know, it's pretty sweet on this all-male island. We all threw our toothbrushes overboard as soon as we got into port! Maybe you should talk to Mom on the phone. Homer! I just wanted, like, one good manicure. I didn't mean for it to get this extreme. You men need to be more thoughtful, but us moms can't be so selfish either. You're right, Marge. But as our last selfish act before we make things right, we're going to stay here until AFTER Mother's Day! Deal! Task: Collect Crappy Mother's Day Gifts [x200] Task: Make Men Agree to the Latest Deal [x3] (4h, Simpson House) Task: Make Lisa and Bart Make a New Gift (4h, Simpson House, Bart) So... Ruth might have pushed things, but at least it brought our family just a bit closer. Not really, I bonded with a cool kid with awesome hair. That was me wearing a wig! It couldn't be! He was also wearing glasses! rolls eyes* I'm just glad we negotiated "extended island vacations" during Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and most birthdays. Why come back at all? That was one of the deals. Men have to be back to take the blame for how crummy all these holidays are. It's our civic duty. Mom, Lisa and I wanted to give you these cookies we baked for you that turned out more like weird scones. Aw, thanks, you two. You know I've kept every handmade gift you've given me in a special bin under the sink that I then take out to the curb. I can't wait to add this one. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Martin Needs a Tutor Pt. 1

After tapping on Mrs. Prince's exclamation mark: Ugh, parent-teacher conferences today?! Can't I just go to jury duty instead?! Unfortunately, there haven't been any violent crimes in Springfield lately, so I have to go too... Don't worry, Mrs. Prince, this won't take long... It's true, my Martin is perfect. ...it won't take long for me to say Martin needs a tutor. The mislead actually took more time than what I had to say. A tutor? What could he be failing? He studies so much he doesn't even have friends. Exactly. School isn't about grades anymore, it's about networking. Don't worry, I have the perfect tutor: who better to help Martin make friends than the only kid who volunteered to tutor in their spare time? Task: Make Mrs. Prince Act Surprised (4h, Springfield Elementary) Task: Make Jake Boyman Report to Skinner's Office (4h, Springfield Elementary) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Martin Needs a Tutor Pt. 2

After tapping on Mrs. Prince's exclamation mark: You want me, the new "new kid", to teach Martin how to be social? Exactly! As the new kid, you still have that aura of mystery and intrigue. Really? Thank you... Plus your arms look too weak to give Martin a wedgie. If Martin's getting a social makeover, I should probably get rid of his nerdy clothes and toys. Actually, nerd chic is in these days. Good, then they'll fetch a higher price. Ugh, why couldn't I tutor something cool, like math? Task: Make Mrs. Prince Hock Cheap Merchandise (4h) Task: Make Jake Boyman Study Real Math (12h, Benches) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Martin Needs a Tutor Pt. 3

After tapping on Mrs. Prince's exclamation mark: All right, tutoring session numero uno, on how to raise your social skills... my most familiar topic. Let's begin with- Maslow's hierarchy of needs? A sense of belonging and validation of one's self? What? No. I was going to start with- Hygiene? Table manners? *gasp*Body language?! Would you shut up!! I mean, every friend group needs a quiet guy. Why don't you try that? Sounds like tutoring is going great! I better make some of my patented oyster cakes! You should get out of here, the last person who ate her oyster cakes ended up-- Oops, I forgot I'm supposed to be the quiet guy... Task: Make Jake Boyman Fire Off (4h) Task: Make Mrs. Prince Prepare Oyster Cakes (12h, Brown House) It was me all along. There is no Jake Boyman. Darnit! Why do all our brightest students end up being in disguise or 40-year-old journalists writing exposés about the school? What made you break? I don't know what was more off-putting, Martin's desperation or his mother's oyster cakes. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Twinception Pt. 1

After tapping on Jerri Mackleberry's exclamation mark: It's been so long, I can't wait to see my family. Especially my twin daughters! Did you miss us, Mom? Of course!

After tapping on Jerri Mackleberry's exclamation mark: Okay, Terri has a purple bow, while Sherri has... also a purple bow. Hmm, what about physical differences? Ooh, Sherri's taller! Oh wait, Terri just has her shoes off... How can I tell them apart? I know, I'll stab one of them... ...into this quilt with thread, then the other. I'm talking about sewing their likenesses with thread and needle, of course. Good thing I clarified that to myself. Task: Make Jerri Mackleberry Needle a Twin Pattern (4h, The Needle Exchange) Well that was no use -- I still don't know who's who and now I have a repetitive stress injury. Why must everything in my life be repetitive?? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Twinception Pt. 3

After tapping on Jerri Mackleberry's exclamation mark: Mom, can I have my allowance? Of course... daughter. Can I have it via personal check? Just make it out to me. Uhh... sure, just let me start by writing the last four letters first... E-R-R-I... You know what? I'll just make it out to "Cash". It'll be better for your tax bracket. Really? Maybe? Probably be easier to learn tax code than admit to my daughters I don't know who is who. Where's my quilt?! Task: Make Jerri Mackleberry Make a Cheat Sheet Pattern (4h, The Needle Exchange) What's for dinner tonight? Well *eyes check quilt cheat sheet*, I'm making your favorite spaghetti, Sherri.
