Hey there Hoppereenos!
A few things happened in our games today. The first is the launch of the usual 4th of July Celebration items.
The second, looks like as usual EA noticed that many were struggling on the Social Prizes, the limits on them, and adjustments have been made.
I just returned from the Doctor’s and will be going through all the new info and updating it here in a bit, so hang in there while I do so. 🙂
Ken Brockman will kick things off automatically with Barbarian Candidate…
Barbarian Candidate Pt. 1
Kent Brockman Auto Starts
Ken Brockman: Mayor Joe Quimby reaches the end of his ninth term of office today… amid accusations the 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!
You will then be able to send Springfielder’s on a 60min task to “Compete for Mayor Candidacy”.

GIL DEAL
You will also see Ol’ Gil wandering around the streets of Springfield waiting to offer you the latest and greatest of his “Gil Deals”.
Gil: I do love celebrating America with a 4th of July camping trip to one of our national parks.
Teddy: That’s why I created the park system, bro! You’re welcome, America!
Gil: Wow. Teddy Roosevelt. 26th President of the United States and a famed naturalist.
Teddy: Yup, I love nature all right. Now let’s go shoot the biggest animal we can find and eat it raw. Nothing puts hair on your chest like moose carpaccio.
**If you don’t take the offer…
Gil: Well at least I still have my cave to sleep in.
Teddy: Quit complaining, bro! A cave is luxury accommodations! I once survived a whole winter with no more shelter than a single pine needle! I stayed warm with vigorous calisthenics. If I’d stopped for a minute, I’d’ve frozen to death. I was President at the time. People don’t like to imagine their leader doing jumping jacks for three long, desperate months in twelve feet of snow, but this happened. Swear to God.
The offer will then move to the Store. You have 7 days to decide if you want to take the offer before it will expire. (7/6)
**If you take the offer…
Gil: You’ll take it? Great! With this sale, I’m moving up the property ladder! Goodbye Cave and hello hovel!
NEW/OLD ITEMS
There will be the usual 4th returning items along with a new item available as well in the store for purchase. All will be here for a limited time as well until 7/6.
You will see one or the other option below…
OR
SOCIAL PRIZES
I am still pulling the information for these and the changes, but for now many of you will notice that you jumped through several of them and were awarded some sooner than you anticipated.
Here is the NEW list of requirements for the Social Prizes you can earn.
This means you can get the Prizes after 77 battles vs the 115 EA had originally set up. This will make it much easier to obtain these Social Prizes for players.
There you have it, some new/old items and a HUGE change to the requirements for the Social Prizes. I am still running through the 4th of July Questline and will update it a bit further as I go. This information should at least give you the Basics for now.
What do you think of the changes? Like that they lowered the requirements? How about the 4th of July items? Going to pick any up? Let us know.
