This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds[edit]
This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Intro[edit]
After the user logs in on November 14th:
|
|
Here comes the holiday season! Anyone in the mood for a pre-Thanksgiving flight of three turkeys?
|
|
Or we can just round it up to an even baker's dozen.
|
|
Dad, please! Just thinking about this upcoming meat massacre gives me serious PTVD.
|
|
Lisa, you know how I feel about acronyms: I.T.M.S. I Don't Get Them.
|
|
It's Pre-Thanksgiving Vegetarian Depression. And it's very real, even if it's not recognized by the DSM.
|
|
What did I just say about acronyms?!
|
Task: Make Lisa Escape Her PTVD (6s, Springfield Elementary) On job start:
|
|
Hmm... the school computer lab is unlocked. Maybe the reasonable and calming influence of the internet is what I need right now.
|
|
Well, if it isn't my little protégé. The zero to my one one zero one one.
|
|
Quinn?! What are you doing here?
|
|
Using the school computers to mask my infiltration of the Department of Homeland... uh, I mean nothing.
|
|
You got really far into that sentence before changing your mind.
|
On job end:
|
|
Every year I feel helpless. What will it take to get people to stop eating so much meat?
|
|
You could give them artificial incentives and a false sense of accomplishment?
|
|
Pssh, who would fall for that?
|
|
Ever heard of gamification? It's a great way to get people to do what you want them to. Like waterboarding, if waterboarding cost 99 cents each time.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 1[edit]
After completing This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Intro:
|
|
Just a couple more lines of code... and done! My meat alternative app "Tofun" is ready for release!
|
|
I'd question how quickly you turned that app around, but I have no real concept of time between when we talk.
|
|
All you need now are a couple of early adopter suckers to beta test it.
|
|
Who would want to test a half-baked app for free?
|
|
Free half-baked apps? Are we talking potato skins or just jalapeno poppers? You know what? Surprise me.
|
|
Gamification! Don't make me spell it out... because it's probably not a word. Just tell people they get extra Activist Badges for "early exclusive" use.
|
Task: Make Lisa Promote Tofun (3h, Springfield Elementary) Task: Make Springfielders Beta Test Tofun [x5] (3h, Springfield Elementary) Task: Earn Activist Badges [x150]
|
|
My day one installs are up to ten! That's twice as many downloads as my last app – Jazz Findr.
|
|
Ten installs?! Lisa, the Meat Council will get word of this. And you know Quimby and Wiggum are in Big Sausage's pocket, ever since they filled their pockets with big sausages!
|
|
It's only a few users – I doubt they'll care. I think it's safe to say this is the end of this quest!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 2[edit]
After completing This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 1:
|
|
That billboard springs up just a few days after my app? Something's fishy.
|
|
You better hope not! The Fish Lobby makes the Meat Council look like small potatoes. And nobody takes the Guild of Small Potatoes seriously.
|
|
You sure know a lot about political interest groups, Dad.
|
|
I used to be a lobbyist. Until I found out that didn't just mean stealing luggage from the entrances of fancy hotels.
|
Task: Make Springfielders Compete on Tofun [x5] (3h, Eatery or Brown House) Task: Make Lisa Update Tofun (3h, Simpson House) Task: Earn Activist Badges [x325]
|
|
Why are you walking around with two phones?
|
|
Because I can only reap so much enjoyment from topping the Tofun leaderboards, so I'm simultaneously competing in the meat-eating app Beefbettr.
|
|
A meat-eating game? The Meat Council isn't playing around! Somebody get me my carpal tunnel brace – they just messed with the wrong prodigy app developer.
|
|
Hmm, that sounded cooler in my head.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 3[edit]
After completing This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 2:
|
|
Quinn, I think I need to switch up my tactics. But it feels like something is holding me back.
|
|
It's your conscience, kid. App development is a dog-eat-dog world.
|
|
As a vegetarian I prefer to call it a tempeh-eat-tempeh world.
|
|
But you're right. Gamification was only a half-measure. I need to hack the planet!... Now that's the cool line I was looking for!
|
|
Hacking, webmasters, firewalls – I love all the great words we made up to describe typing really fast for a long period of time.
|
Task: Make Programmer Lisa Hack Propaganda (4h, Meat Propaganda Billboard) Task: Earn Activist Badges [x325] Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 4[edit]
After completing This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 3:
|
|
Come check out our new all-meat aisle! We have every cut of meat from head to tail... as well as extra heads and tails.
|
|
Hurry in, we're not slashing prices, but we are slashing Best By, Sell By, and Use By dates!
|
|
Why is the town suddenly flooded with meat products?
|
|
Mmm, meat flood. It's the feud between those two silly phone games – it's making everyone hungry.
|
|
Maybe I bit off more than I can chew. It's time to call in backup. A name that strikes fear into the hearts of meat lovers, and people who don't like to be bothered on the sidewalk.
|
Task: Make Programmer Lisa Call P.E.T.A. for Backup (3h, Simpson House) Task: Earn Activist Badges [x325]
|
|
That was useless. They just preached to me over the phone for four hours and then sent me a complimentary can of fur protest red paint.
|
|
Plus a copy of their straight-to-DVD movie "Never Meat Me In St. Louis".
|
|
We interrupt this little girl's tantrum to bring you breaking news: the app Tofun may be selling your user data.
|
|
To whom? Russia? We don't know, but this reporter is brave enough to guess wildly. So Russia it is!
|
|
This segment was brought to you by the renovated Slaughterhouse Restaurant. Now with new and improved blood gutters, and a permanent on-site paramedic!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 5[edit]
After completing This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 4:
|
|
Somehow, whatever I do, the Meat Council's always one step ahead of me.
|
|
Check your source code, sweetie. I think you might have a bug. Or maybe even a rat.
|
|
That's why the hacker life can be a lonely one. Imagine having no friends, your only pals are inanimate objects.
|
|
Yeah, I can hardly imagine...
|
Task: Make Programmer Lisa Inspect Source Code (3h, Benches) Task: Make Gluttons Take the Sir Loin-A-Lot Challenge [x3] (4h, Slaughterhouse Restaurant) Task: Earn Activist Badges [x325]) On job start:
|
|
What?! I connected Tofun to P.E.T.A.'s alt-veggie database, but these logs suggest they've been sending my data straight to the Meat Council!
|
|
An organization that promotes veganism sending user data to a multinational meat conglomerate? A tale as old as time.
|
On job end:
|
|
So my best efforts to help the world just ended up making everything worse?
|
|
Hey, look on the bright side.
|
|
Which is?
|
|
I'm sorry, is there more to that expression?
|
|
I wish I could help, sweetie, but I've got reservations at the Slaughterhouse Restaurant. I hear they provide fresh towels for your meat sweats.
|
Quest reward: 200 and 20

Activist Feature Creep[edit]
Activist Feature Creep Pt. 1[edit]
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
You know what they say, if you aren't a one, you're a zero. I can't let this failure keep me down.
|
|
Meh, if you can't beat failure, might as well join it.
|
|
Thanks, Dad. I always get inspired talking to you.
|
|
Because you remind me of exactly what not to do. I need a new app to make everyone forget Tofun. What about an app that creates even healthier salad recipes?
|
|
Lisa, I'm going to tell you what I think about the app in the only way I know how... song!
|
Task: Make Programmer Lisa Code Under the Sun (8h, Benches) If This Thanksgiving's Gone to the Birds Pt. 5 was completed: Task: Make Homer and Bart Do the "You Don't Win Friends With Salad" Dance (4h, Bart) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Activist Feature Creep Pt. 2[edit]
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
Salad Tossr only got one download from one user - HotScotsmen.
|
|
And I want me money back! That app was not what I was hoping for.
|
|
Maybe I should think LIKE an app to create an app. I'll just gamify myself.
|
|
That's dumber than Tossr's 'No Dressing Blessing'. And yes, I stole Willie's phone and second his request for a refund.
|
|
If I had already gamified myself, this act of listening to you would give me donuts.
|
|
Donuts?
|
|
Whatever the in-game currency will be. Not sure why I said donuts...
|
Task: Make Programmer Lisa Gamify Herself (4h, Simpson House) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Activist Feature Creep Pt. 3[edit]
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
|
|
By gamifying myself I realized that I just need to gamify others. Hmm, this isn't starting to sound like a cult, is it?
|
|
Anyway, my new app allows people to gamify whatever they want!
|
|
This is making my head hurt. Can you get Daddy his medicine?
|
|
You mean a beer? Well if you get one yourself, this app will give you 50 points.
|
|
Points! I like the sound of points!
|
Task: Make Homer Drink to Get a High Score (4h, Simpson House) Task: Make Springfielders Gamify Themselves [x5] (4h, Shop)
|
|
People are using my app left and right. Let me check the leaderboard and see how much good they are rewarding themselves for.
|
|
Oh no! No one is using it to do good. They are just reinforcing their horrible behavior. Even Sideshow Bob set a point value for murdering Bart.
|
|
Don't delete this app! I have the high score in drinking! I'm even beating Barney. My confidence is soaring – just like my BAC!
|
Quest reward: 200 and 20

Thanksgiving 2017[edit]
After the user logs in on November 23rd:
|
|
It's finally here! The only holiday that really matters! No religion, no politics, no gifts to waste money on, just absurd amounts of food.
|
|
But Dad, without religion and politics, what will family members yell at each other about around the table?
|
|
Just give me this ONE day to gorge myself in peace!
|
|
You asked for that day yesterday.
|
|
What? Oh, yeah.
|
System Message
|
Happy Thanksgiving! Treat yourself to your own vast troughs of food, with some donuts on top!
|
Quest reward: 10 Donuts, and Outdoor Feast Table or Cornucopia

Sergeant Syntax[edit]
Sergeant Syntax Pt. 1[edit]
After tapping on Quinn Hopper's exclamation mark:
|
|
Thousands of apps released everyday, each one more garbage than the last. Recyclr, Dumpstr, Trashbax.... Wait, these actually ARE garbage apps.
|
|
These pencil pushers lack the guidance to create anything truly brilliant. Like, for instance... an app that lets you push... pencils?
|
|
Grr, maybe I need some help direct from the source code.
|
Task: Make Quinn Hopper Consult CONRAD (8h, CONRAD) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Sergeant Syntax Pt. 2[edit]
After tapping on Quinn Hopper's exclamation mark:
|
|
I'm still not sure why we programmed an AI robot to have so many neuroses... But, CONRAD did give me a decent idea.
|
|
Instead of creating apps, I should become a consultant and tell OTHER people how to create apps.
|
|
Half the hours, twice the pay, all while doing none of the work while taking all of the credit. What a time to be alive!
|
Task: Make Quinn Hopper Insult Student's Code (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Sergeant Syntax Pt. 3[edit]
After tapping on Quinn Hopper's exclamation mark:
|
|
Man yelling at all those kids' apps makes me need some JAVA. Now to give them all grades: C, C+, C++.
|
|
Let's see what child I'm debugging next.
|
|
You're on lice check duty too? Welcome aboard.
|
|
Wait, zero students today? Outrage! Who am I supposed to insult? I mean constructively criticize.
|
|
You there! Your glasses are DUMB!
|
|
Oooooooohhhhh. Someone take me to the hospital, because I just got burned! No, seriously, I need help.
|
Task: Make Quinn Hopper Debate Tabs Versus Spaces (24h, Java Server) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Sergeant Syntax Pt. 4[edit]
After tapping on Quinn Hopper's exclamation mark:
|
|
Finally, a new student. He has all the look of a nerd but I'm worried none of the brains.
|
|
Not all nerds are smart! That's prejudicial. Some of us are just losers!
|
|
Genius has come from more unusual places. Before Steve Jobs created Apple, he was just a trespasser on Reed's campus.
|
|
Do you really think my app Bed Wettr could be the next big hit?
|
|
Your app is called Bed Wettr. Do I even want to know what it does?
|
|
It's an app that reminds you to get up out of bed and use the bathroom. Also you get points for any accidents during the day.
|
|
Did your phone just beep?
|
|
I just got 1000 soaked sheet points! Unrelated, do you have any extra culottes?

Clown's Got a Brand-New Coat[edit]
Clown's Got a Brand-New Coat Pt. 1[edit]
After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark:
|
|
I'll do it!
|
|
I didn't tell you the job.
|
|
I like the mystery.
|
|
And I like the lack of culpability. You can expect one to five thousand dollars. Half of that will be partitioned for-
|
|
Finally! Something to live for – Money! Papa needs a brand new coat! I lost my last one in a high steaks poker game. Couldn't get those meat stains out.
|
Task: Make Krusty Buy a New Coat (4h, Shop) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Clown's Got a Brand-New Coat Pt. 2[edit]
After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark:
|
|
Do you like my new coat? Four out of five pimps approve, and the fifth one was arrested.
|
|
That looks... excessively expensive. How much did it cost?
|
|
Price is just a number. Like age or amount of DUIs.
|
|
Besides you said I have money coming in from this deal. What Krusty photo do they want to stamp on the product? I've got all the shots: before, after, mug.
|
|
This is for the Meat Council. Most of that money should have been used for-
|
|
Sorry, the coat is hungry. If I don't feed these foxes every three hours, they'll turn on me.
|
Task: Make Coat of Foxes Krusty Feed the Fur (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Clown's Got a Brand-New Coat Pt. 3[edit]
After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark:
|
|
The Meat Council expects the money to be used to update their educational video.
|
|
WHAT? I have to work for this money. What do I look like? The 99 percent?
|
|
Not in that coat. Are all the foxes wearing tiny crowns?
|
|
I know! I'll hire a film student and pay them in IMDB credits!
|
Task: Make Coat of Foxes Krusty Splice Together Standup Video (4h, Krusty Burger) Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Clown's Got a Brand-New Coat Pt. 4[edit]
After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark:
|
|
It took me exploiting hundreds, if not thousands of aspiring directors but I finally finished the 30-second video.
|
|
The Meat Council loves the experimental animation and the black and white. But they want you to reedit it so that you mention the word meat once in the project.
|
|
Having never seen this film, I can tell you, it's perfect the way it is.
|
|
They did offer some finishing funds to help-
|
|
More coat money! Let's get these foxes girlfriends!
|
Task: Make Coat of Foxes Krusty Be More Exotic (8h) Quest reward: 200 and 20

Deep Fried Death[edit]
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
Deuce's Caboose! Risen from its hot dog watery grave!
|
|
Didn't it also explode?
|
|
We're living in a post-fact society Lisa. Don't think too hard about it.
|
|
I'll take the re-fried deep-fried chili fries. Side of lard. And hold the napkins. I want this one to soak in.
|

Robotic Rebellion[edit]
After unlocking Itchy & Scratchy Bot:
|
|
The robot rebellion is finally upon us! Please, oh mechanical overlords, allow me to serve you and betray my fleshy brethren.
|
|
Dad, we already defeated the robots once. All we need is a camera with a flash bulb.
|
|
Yeah, but when was the last time you saw an actual camera? It's every man for himself!
|
|
Take the boy, robot masters! He blasphemes your glory!
|
Task: Tap Itchy & Scratchy Bot
|
|
Looks like we defeated all the robots. By outsourcing their destruction to the Sky Finger. Ah, outsourcing, another gift from corporate America.
|
|
Yeah, but what about the next time machines try to destroy our society? Should we prepare?
|
|
What did you say? I just beat level 500 of Happy Elves.
|
|
Hmm, maybe they've already won.
