Forum Discussion
- Someone mentioned the idea of not having an entire monorail, but just the station and perhaps a piece of rundown, broken track (since it wasn't in existence after that episode), as a way of compromising having the monorail and it not taking up too much room.
Also, I disagree that using characters portrayed by deceased actors is disrespectful, I actually view it as commemorative and a nice salute to the work they did on the show in helping create those memorable, beloved characters.
Truthfully I imagine it's more a rights issue, in terms of using the actor's voice, though that may not be the case either since Fox owns the rights outright. I'd like a voiced Hutz, McClure, or Lanley, but I'd rather have them unvoiced as opposed to not having them at all.
Point is, there are ways to include the monorail and those characters. They may require some compromise, but I have no problem with that. - The elevated monorail pylons could be placed on the roads....nothing else uses the roads
If they were placed on the roads it would not interfere too much with blocking buildings (only when the carriages passed)
No solution for the voiced characters.......although Leonard Nimoy would be nice

First of all you are saying that EA should not be adding Lionel Hutz and Troy Mclure and also Lyle Lanley because Phil Hartmann is deceased. They added Abe Lincoln a dead president in our town so why can't they add any of Phil Hartmanns characters :?: You are also saying the monorail would take up to much space which is true but no one knows how EA would implement the monorail into the game yet. Why is everyone suddenly hating on the monorail :? I remember just a few months back mostly everyone on the fourm said they want the SF monorail to be added into the game! Why do guys suddenly don't want the monorail anymore :?:
I think there's a few more people voicing dissent against the introduction of the monorail, since it was mentioned in the in-game dialogue. And it's a fair enough opinion, it would be hard, (but not impossible, I believe) to smoothly implement the monorail.- BRING ON THE MONORAIL!!!
And using his voice would be a nice tribute to his life.
I swear some people in this forum are so bloody odd :? - Personally I agree with the OP but for different reasons.
I think people would get very annoyed with the monorail getting in the way just like Arnie in his chopper or the alien flying around.
I do think that Lionel Hutz etc should be released as a mark of respect.
Although, I do agree about it being used once, it would end up in storage for most. - I think it should be the next $$ million dollar item, with segments or groups of segments ( how big do you want it ), and some special segments for donuts.
So if you want it you buy the station, build a complete circuit (to whatever size you like), quest line- monorail collapses in areas, end of quest. But since were rich and sitting on tons of money to blow our noses with we can fix it, till the next time it breaks down. Maybe have interactions with building owners complaining about damage. jadie_baby18 wrote:

I totally agree with your post! The more that gets introduced in this game at all, the more interesting and fun it will become. Some people complain about everything. "EA, don't re-release previous limited items, if so I'm not special anymore, or my reason for playing the game, namely feeling better than others because of pixels I own, is lost".
Now people actually start whining about content. "EA please don't add anymore content, because I have no room in my town, or I don't think you'll manage to add it in a good way". What has become of you?! Should EA stop making content, this game dies! What a bunch of crybabies!
Just to add something to those that doesn't think the monorail can be added to this game. Of course it can. EA has the ability to add it and adapt it in any number of ways. It's even entirely possible that EA manages to improve things that already exists, and actually manage to make curves both for monorail-tracks and the roads we already have. This is far from a stagnant game, and EA do actually put in a lot of effort in it. Didn't we finally get a character-locator? Why can't EA change or add other game-features?
As mwdalton said, it is not impossible to find a smooth way to implement the monorail. Just wait and see what EA manages to do first, don't start whining BEFORE it is even introduced to the game...!FluidEmotion wrote:

Agreed- I don't get why theywouldnt add Hartman characters, be it unvoiced. As they have kept Edna in the game and also several episodes (unvoiced) of the simpsons after her death.
- Would love 2 c the Monorail
