The Barbarian Candidate

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 1

After the user logs in on June 29: Mayor Joe Quimby reaches the end of his ninth term of office today... ...amid accusations that he MAY have violated Springfield's "One and Done" term limit legislation... ...as well as the "Time to Go, Joe" Act and the more recent "Mayor Quimby We Are Talking to You Please Just Leave" Referendum. In light of these charges, Mayor Quimby has graciously agreed to be dragged kicking and screaming from his office. Who will the new Mayor be? Let's meet the candidates! Task: Make Springfielders Compete for Mayoral Candidacy [x5] (1h, Town Hall or Simpson House) My fellow Springfielders, you all know me to be a man of character. A man of faith. And above all, a doctor who is loose with his Oxycontin prescriptions. And if I become Mayor, I will be so distracted with political stuff, I'll probably get even looser with the Oxy. I'm talking LOOOOOOSE. I will make Springfield the most business-friendly city in America. Businesses are gonna love us, and take care of us, and call us beautiful, and keep us warm all night long. The only job of a Mayor is to be fair, honest, and transparent. And to introduce a series of "religious freedom" bills that let us discriminate against people who aren't exactly like us. Which I will definitely do. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: What!? Flanders is running for President of Springfield? Not for President -- for Mayor. Phew. If there's one thing Springfield DOESN'T need, it's President Stupid Flanders. Dad... Springfield doesn't have a President. We don't?! Then THAT must be Flanders' plan -- run for mayor, win the election, then step into the empty President position and be President of Springfield! System Message There may not be a President OF Springfield but it doesn't mean you can't have a President IN Springfield. Check out the store to get yourself one! Task: Make Lisa Plan Homer's Campaign (30s, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Citizens of Springfield! Too long have we cowered under the threat of a President Flanders. Mayor. This country-- --city-- --cannot afford to elect a President-- --MAYOR!-- --with such a dangerously annoying personality. #NeverFlanders #HitAHomer If you will give me your vote, I will make any campaign promise you like. Is it impossible? I promise to do it! Is it immoral, illegal, disturbing? You have my word it will be done! Does my promise to you directly contradict a promise I made to someone else? Both will be done! I promise! Will you allow me to openly carry guns upon my person, and upon the persons of others? Yes! Will you land a man on the sun in this decade? You betcha! Task: Make Homer Make Campaign Promises (6s, Town Hall, Power Plant or Simpson House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 4

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: Hi-diddly-ho, political rival-rino! I hear we're gonna be ballot buddies! Going door-to-door to talk to the people of Springfield, Stupid Flanders? Only way to spread the word, right, pal? Not for me! I've got a whole army of volunteer college kids to spread my message. College kids. You say words like "Wall Street" and "hope" and "climate change," and they'll canvas 'til their feet bleed. Well, that's what you get for believing things can ever get better. They'll learn! Task: Make Ned Campaign for the Election (3h, Town Hall, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Homer's Aides Campaign for the Election [x3] (3h, Town Hall, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Characters: Marge, Lenny, Carl, Apu Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Kent Brockman here, reporting from the First Mayoral Debate. Tonight's debate is sponsored by Homer for Mayor, 2016! Remember folks: vote Homer. Flanders is a tool. That really doesn't seem ethical, does it? Allowing one of the candidates to sponsor the debate? This just in. I am being handed an envelope by one of my producers. Said envelope is stuffed with cash, in the amount of... ... As I was saying! Tonight's debate is brought to you by Homer for Mayor, 2016! Task: Make Ned Attend the Mayoral Debate (30s, Town Hall, Springfield Elementary or Simpson House) Task: Make Homer Attend the Mayoral Debate (30s, Town Hall, Springfield Elementary or Simpson House) On job start: If I am your Mayor, I promise you my door will always be open. I will balance the budget, eliminate graft and corruption, improve our schools-- FREE EAGLES. Homer? Were you saying something? *whistling innocently* ... All righty. As I was saying... Good, responsible governance isn't just-- VOTE HOMER GET AN EAGLE. ... *whistling innocently* ... Homer, do you expect people to believe you'll give them an eagle if they vote for you? WHAT KIND OF EAGLE DO YOU WANT? GOLDEN? DONE! WHITE-TAILED? DONE! BALD? DONE (WHILE SUPPLIES LAST)! I have to believe the good people of Springfield are too smart to-- Three cheers for free eagles! Everybody clear a path. I want to shoot Moustache Guy before he convinces Eagle Guy not to give us eagles! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Barbarian Candidate Pt. 6

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: The votes are in and our new mayor is... Homer J. Simpson! Woohoo! In your face, Flanders! We go now to City Hall, where Mayor-Elect Simpson will sign his name into Springfield's Big Book of Mayors, thus beginning his term of office. Paperwork? No one told me this desk job would come with paperwork! Task: Make Homer Avoid Paperwork (6s, Simpson Home) Today marks one month that Mayor-Elect Homer Simpson has refused to sign the Big Book of Mayors. Instead, he just wanders around town, performing "jobs" like drinking at Moe's Tavern and lounging in a kiddie pool. How these tasks constitute gainful employment, this reporter cannot say. But as stipulated in the Convenient Plot Device Act of 1892, should the Mayor-Elect fail to sign into the Big Book, after one month the title of Mayor reverts to the previous owner. Therefore, our Mayor is once again Joe Quimby. Hey, that WAS a convenient plot device! System Message Looks like Homer no longer needs all those eagles he ordered. Here you go! Quest reward: Squawky, 100 and 10

Gil Offer

After the user logs in on June 29th: I do love celebrating America with a 4th of July camping trip to one of our national parks. That's why I created the park system, bro! You're welcome, America! Wow. Teddy Roosevelt. 26th President of the United States and a famed naturalist. Yup, I love nature all right. Now let's go shoot the biggest animal we can find and eat it raw. Nothing puts hair on your chest like moose carpaccio.

Offer accepted

You'll take it? Great! With this sale, I'm moving up the property ladder! Goodbye cave and hello hovel!

Offer declined

Well at least I still have my cave to sleep in. Quit complaining, bro! A cave is luxury accommodations! I once survived a whole winter with no more shelter than a single pine needle! I stayed warm with vigorous calisthenics. If I'd stopped for a minute, I'd've froze to death. I was President at the time. People don't like to imagine their leader doing jumping jacks for three long, desperate months in twelve feet of snow, but this happened. Swear to God.

My Fair Quimby

My Fair Quimby Pt. 1

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: "Our country -- this great Republic -- means nothing unless it means the triumph of--" WHAT THE-- WHERE AM I? WHERE DID THE WHITE HOUSE GO, AND WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON WEARING PINCE NEZ EYEGLASSES? President Teddy Roosevelt! I was just wondering which ex-President would appear in Springfield this July fourth. You mean I'm not the first? Not even close. Sorry. Nice glasses, by the way. *snickers* Yeah. Super cool. You look awesome. *snickers* THESE GLASSES WERE THE HEIGHT OF FASHION IN MY DAY! I should explain how you got here. You see, every July fourth a rift in the space-time continuum opens and... What are you doing? Knee bends. Vigorous squatting is the key to a powerful, manly physique. Okay, great... Anyway, as a champion of the national park system, what do you think of our new park? Beautiful. Now, if you'll hand me that shotgun, I'm going to go hunt every living creature in it to death. Task: Make Teddy Go Hunting (24h, Springfield National Park) Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 2

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: How was your hunt, Mr. President? Not bad. Shot about a million rabbits. I don't like rabbit meat, so I left them there. Still, fun stuff. Isn't that kind of wasteful? I thought you believed in conservation? Say... how much do you want to bet I can lift that big rock over my head? Mr. President? I asked you a question? One... two... three... And... he's doing knee bends again. Man, this guy's got a shorter attention span than Bart. Well, he was INCREDIBLY accomplished. An author, historian, statesman, explorer, businessman, naturalist... I guess you'd have to be a little hyper to do all that. I'm the best arm-wrestler I know. Some men's arms look bigger than mine, but I have excellent technique. I went to a zoo, and you know tigers? I watched the tigers and I figured out why they're so strong and I copied it and now no one can beat me. ... ... I'm thirsty. Point me to the nearest tavern. Task: Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern Task: Make Teddy Take Refreshments (4h, Moe's Tavern) I do so enjoy sharing a pint of ale with the common man. Could you please stop calling us "the common man?" And could you also maybe stop doing jumping jacks? It's weird. I'm bored. I need a project. Are there any hills in town crawling with Spanish soldiers? I could storm one of those. We stormed our last Spaniard hill a few months ago. Sorry. Any giant corporations in town I could bust up? Not really. Just Mr. Burns. Tell me about this "Mr. Burns"... Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 3

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: So you're basically telling me that Mr. Burns and his corporation run this town? This is exactly why we must never allow corporations to grow too powerful. I thought you said you were a Republican? What's strange about a Republican being anti-big-business? EVERYTHING! If President Ronald Reagan could hear you, he'd never stop being sick. Ronald Reagan the future actor becomes future President? Now I've heard everything! Gentlemen, I busted up Standard Oil, and now I'm gonna bust up Standard Burns! Take me to your mayor! Task: Reach Level 20 and Build the Town Hall Task: Make Teddy Meet With Quimby (2h, Town Hall, Quimby) Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 4

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: Mayor Quimby, all that is required to stem the tide of corporate greed is for men of courage to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Hold on, this is good stuff. I want to write this down. "Men... of... courage." And where do we find such men? Why, you and I will be the men of courage. And together--- Now see here! I am an inveterate coward, and proud of it! Not anymore, you're not! We're gonna go right at Mr. Burns, just like I stormed San Juan Hill! Charge! Task: Make Teddy Lead the Charge (8h) When someone screams "charge!" that's your cue to ante up and run laughing into the face of death. Yeah, see, huge coward. I thought I explained that to you. Anyway, I heard the real heroes of your little charge up San Juan Hill were the Buffalo Soldier regiments. But since you were a more convenient hero for the media than a group of black soldiers... One... two... three... As soon as things get uncomfortable, he goes back to the knee bends. Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 5

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: I'll make a man of you yet, Joe Quimby. Mr. Burns is too powerful. He's got the nuclear plant, a basketball team, vast real estate holdings, and the best cupcake shop in town. Really? He owns Lovin' Cups? No, no. Mr. Burns' cupcake shop is Sweet Emotions. It's way better than Lovin' Cups. I oughta kill you for saying that! Grown men do not debate the merits of dessert treats! Quimby, grab your rucksack. We're gonna toughen you up with a camping trip! Task: Make Teddy Go Camping With Quimby (24h, Springfield National Park, Quimby) Quimby! You couldn't even last one night in the woods? I woke up an hour before sunrise and I was all alone! You were not! I left behind a fact-finding committee to investigate the feasibility of future mayoral camping. I eagerly look forward to their report. It should be finished in the next six months.) Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 6

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: Quimby, you may not be an outdoorsman, but there's other ways to be tough. Did you know I once gave a campaign speech moments after being shot in the chest? Good Lord. Why? Probably because I have poor self-esteem that I mask with extreme risk-taking behavior. Who knows? Here, I'll do it again. No! Please don't! This won't teach me anything! Me first, then you! Task: Make Teddy Give a Speech (1h, Town Hall) Quest reward: 100 and 10

My Fair Quimby Pt. 7

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: Hoo boy. I'm not going to lie -- that hurt. Wow. Okay Joe. Your turn to get shot. Joe? Joe? Task: Make Quimby Hide From Teddy (8h, Town Hall) There you are, Quimby! Have you no shame? Of course not! And whatever you say, it's never stopped me from winning elections before. Well, I acted with courage, and won my presidential election all the same! ONE election! You won ONE election? See, I was initially the Vice President, but then McKinley was assassinated. Then I ran for re-election the one time, then I wearied of politics and retired. Why? One election! I'm taking advice from a political noob! What does this term mean, "noob?" It means come back when you've been elected a half-dozen more times and MAYBE I'll listen. Noob. I don't appreciate your tone sir. Put up yer dukes and fight like a man. Hey look, a defenseless squirrel! Where? Out of my way! Get my gun and give me a clear shot! chuckles*Noob.) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield Tea Party

After tapping on Teddy Roosevelt's exclamation mark: Well, now that Roosevelt's here, I guess we know who the "Big Four" Presidents in U.S. history are. That's true. No reason to bring back any but the cream of the crop. Here's to the best of the best: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon. Uh, yeah. Nice to be here. I wonder which one of us is the greatest, though? I know. Like, we're ALL great. Definitely. But if you HAD to choose one, is it me? Is it you? Geez, that's a tough one. Four really strong contenders. Let's all go around and name the accomplishment we are most proud of. Oh, let's not... It'll be fun. I'll start. Freeing the slaves! Winning the War of Independence! Reining in out-of-control corporations! Resigning before formal impeachment proceedings could begin! ... Er, uh, opening relations with China! Too late, right? Yeah. Yeah, Dick Nixon thought so. Task: Make Presidents Argue About Legacy [x4] (12h, Town Hall or Brown House) Characters: Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Richard Nixon Quest reward: 100 and 10
