    Sounds a good idea to me. Maybe tapping Sideshow Bob in a neighbours town could count double to encourage visiting neighbours.

    I think he should be a permanent character. This idea sounds good on paper, but people will loose interest very quickly especially if we won't be able to keep him for good. Nice try though.

    Oh, you didn't get what I mean, he is permanent, if you finish the quest before you go back to regular levels he will stay playable forever, but if you don't finish the quest, the QUEST goes away until you go back to bonus levels, than if you were on 50, you would go back to 50

    In this case, sounds great!

    I think EA are weary about adding him with the high expectations of the average player... Most responses to things EA do or don't do are generally more towards the negative, even with a mixed batch of opinions on a case-by-case basis and (assuming EA actively follow threads on their forum) they must have a complex about never seeming to do the right thing. Adding more land is probably the most frequent request in between updates but next to that is the addition of Sideshow Bob as a playable character. Now, if EA had to oblige, the addition of land is easy and there isn't much they could do to muck it up. But if for example Bob's quest-line isn't just right, if his outdoor animations aren't funny enough or if his task list includes premium items that some people might not have.... oh boy... imagine the uproar :?

    Good points :thumbup: think you hit the nail on the head as to why he hasn't become a full time character yet. That being said......I want Bob added to the game NOW!! :lol:

    24 Hour task right here:

    I personally believe he will be added as a permanent character. On New Years, there was dialogue of things to come this year. Those things were the Stonecutters, the Monorail, and playable Sideshow Bob.

    We got the Stonecutters, the Monorail is rumor to be coming in September, all that's left in their promise is to add Robert Underdunk Terwilliger

    Edit: Typos and then added picture below

    My opinion is that Bob is the character who will die in the season premiere in a couple months. If so, who knows what they will do with the character in terms of this game...
