Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s been a while, but Ol’ Gil is back in Springfield. Thank goodness, I was starting to miss his gimmicky ways!
Anyway, Gil is back and, as always, he’s got another “deal” for us. What’s the latest gimmick he’s peddling? Well, last time he offered up God so this time he’s bringing around The Patriarch. Because if God didn’t sell you The Patriarch will…
So let’s break down the details of this latest offer and determine if this deal is worth the donuts or if you should take a hard pass…
So when you first get into Springfield (well after you’ve launched the event stuff…of course) you’ll see Gil waving his arms around…just begging you to tap on him…
If you tap on him you’ll see…
Gil: Ever since I became a church-goer, things are looking up.
The Patriarch: You can’t just come to the breakfasts after service. You have to come to the part where you give money to us as well!
Gil: Help Ol’ Gil pay his tithes and get in good with the decons. Whaddya say?
At which point you’ll see his latest gimmick…
If you refuse…
Gil: I guess Ol’ Gil’s praters won’t be answered this time. *sigh* Amen.
If you accept…
Gil: That’s right! Cast your bread upon the water, and it will return to you threefold. And it will help the Patriarch buy that helicopter that he’s had his eye on.
Now real quick…if you refuse the offer will go back in the store. It will be there…
This Deal Ends March 12th (When the event ends)
And now for the part, you’ve all been waiting for…the Should I Buy…

Pros
-Comes with a questline
-Earns event currency, and will help for Acts 3 and 4 (and 1 and 2 if you haven’t finished those yet)
-The most reasonably priced Gil deal I’ve seen since the Nerds
-Will use the Mega Church for tasks
Cons
-Not voiced
-A bit of an obscure character in Springfield
Final Thought:
As far as Gil’s “deals” go, this is a good one. No extra “Gil Tax” added to this one. I say go for it. He’s a fun character and he’ll help with the event. Pick this one up if you haven’t already…and finally say yes to Ol’ Gil!
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and I already took the deal. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Remember, there’s a good chance this may come back in a future Mystery Box. It’s happened a few times now. If you buy it there’s a good chance it’ll come back at a much lower price and you’ll be mad about it, if you don’t buy it and want it there’s always a chance it may not come back. So the gamble is up to you to take…
