    My predictions for Whacking Day:

    Superintendent Chalmers as a premium character (this was his first episode)
    Mountain bikes (quest item)
    Homer's shirtless ninja costume (probably premium)
    New skin for Town Hall (quest)
    Bushes that generate snakes to Whack.
    Snakes will be like coins/candy and used to buy items/buildings/characters (maybe Mayor Quimby buys them off you)
    Willie's tractor (premium- if it talks)
    Playground for the school (cash)
    Speakers with Bass (increase number of snakes in Springfield- premium)
    New task for Barney- Try to whack snakes that aren't there.
    New task for Fat Tony- Shoot snakes with Legitimate Business Club
    Jimbo Jones with Noiseland Arcade (quest character/building)
    Ralph Wiggum (if we don't already have him by then- quest character)

    What do you think?

    I want whacking day to happen the things they could introduce are endless lol

    Mainly wanna see Homer on an 1hr task (for Example) with a baseball bat whacking the ground lol

    Peru - get this thread organized. Edit your first post with the ideas listed in the thread the way Simpsons00001 does. Make it crazy easy if anyone sees it.

    Or maybe wait it out and Simpsons00001 will come to the rescue.

    Done and done.

    Some great ideas expressed here but why the hell would you want to make any of them premium? Free is the new premium. You need to catch up with the latest trend :)

    While I would love for them all to be freemium (and maybe I over did it on the premium tags) realistically EA needs to make some money.
    I imagine the more obscure ones would be premium for diehard fans.
    Plus if it is as a big update as we hope they deserve a little compensation right?

    Nope, let us emphasise free and get rid of the memium.

    You are of course, quite right but I'm not sure about compensating EA. Just look at MDFriend's post.

    I did say it already but it may have gotten lost in the other nonsense spouted, that you made a sterling effort with some really great Whacking Day ideas, I particularly like the Barney costume. Keep them coming... :D

    Thanks for the positive feedback!
    I will see what else I can come up with.

    P.S. Did you have a link to MDFriend's post? I am curious what he has said.

    P.S.S. Don't forget about my list on page 3... I especially want Chalmers and Willie's Tractor.

    What do you think?

    I think either 1. You have way too much time on your hands, or 2. you have done this before. These ideas are perfect. I sure hope the good folks at EA are paying attention.

    I am really not sure there is much left to do.

    Perhaps Jebediah could come to life for this, it worked for the Mayan God.

    Am I the only one who liked Halloween and the Zombie squishing?
    I would love to have some snakes to haunt around town.
    Make Whacking day come true EA!
    Give us something to squish :mrgreen:

    Maybe we could haunt snakes in other towns as well, since I really like everything that encourages inteaction with your neighbours!

    You with the one eye! Of course there will be snake squishing, why else do Whacking Day?

    Lisa is assigned class project - visits Library
    Lisa must do more research - visits Springfield Historic Society [new building w/curator Hollis Hurlbut]
    Activating the SHS will unleash snakes every 24hrs. And Hollis goes on sideline quests
    Lisa uncovers a conspiracy involving the Mayor and Hollis

    that's all I got. Shaping up nicely though, if I do say so myself.

    I'd appreciate some snake whacking.

    But I don't think they'll go to quite the extreme that you have drawn up there RSommons. The Historic Society and its curator are kind of one note to include. Lisa could still do everything you've outlined by using the library or town hall.

    Ahh, my blowtorching friend, one note is fine in this Springfield. Especially when buildings are introduced with no notes. But take heart, there is still the story line of the silver tongue for the SHS.
