Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update 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). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or Simpson House and take 60 minutes. 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

Pt. 2[edit]

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! 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".

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". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Cooling Towers, or Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

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!

Pt. 5[edit]

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". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Springfield Elementary, or Simpson House and takes 30 seconds. Task: "Make Homer Attend the Mayoral Debate". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Springfield Elementary, or Simpson House and takes 30 seconds. 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

Pt. 6[edit]

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". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. 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! Message Looks like Homer no longer needs all those eagles he ordered. Here you go!
