Team with a Capital “I” Pt. 1
Lisa starts
Lisa: We did it, gang! We worked together to accomplish an astounding goal! This is a testament to teamwork and community!
Lenny: I didn’t do anything. I just watched.
Carl: Yeah. I was going to help you tap, but then my index finger felt like seeing a movie.
Lisa: Well, okay. But everybody else pitched in!
Wiggum: I took a nap in my cruiser. Was that helpful?
Sea Captain: I actually did everything in my power to sabotage your efforts. Don’t rightly know why. I just did. Yar.
Lisa: I can’t believe this! A few of us worked our tails off to earn prizes, and now we just have to share them with all the freeloaders.
Make Lisa Sulk- 12hrs, Earns 12 
Make Non-Tap Ball Players Admire Tap Ball Prizes- 12hrs, $420, 100xp (you only have to send 1, and my game went to Moe first)
Team with a Capital “I” Pt. 2
Homer starts
Homer: What’s wrong, Lisa?
Lisa: I just can’t believe some people. They get all the benefits of Tap Ball fun, without contributing anything to its success!
Homer: Think of it this way. Millions of people can play it and have fun for free, just because 1% of the players spend a lot of money. We refer to these people as “whales.” And they’re perfect angels. Not like all those lousy non-whales! How I hate them!!!!!!!!!
Lisa: It’s just… it’s just that whenever someone doesn’t drop cash on our game, I feel so sad inside.
Homer: Oh, honey. Non-whales don’t care that their “rational spending behaviour” makes a little girl cry. Because they have no hearts. And no souls. And they probably like to hurt others. Now let’s focus on the people who DO have souls. Let’s thank the whales!
Make Springfielders Thank the Whales- 24hrs, Earns $600, 150xp
And that’s it, the details behind the Gridiron the 5th and final Tap Ball Community Prize!
What’s next? Well Community Prize wise, nothing. We’ve achieved them all! But there still are 3 days left in Tap Ball, so make the most of those 3 days and unlock the rest of the personal prizes!
