What’s annoying is that Kodos crashes into your ray gun, wrecking it. (You do get a second, unwrecked one placed into inventory.) However, you can’t tuck the destroyed one into inventory without having Kodos placed back into inventory as well. ---

I don’t know how you ever get to SEE Homer’s normal ghost hunting animation. He’s constantly doing other quest jobs for me. Right now, he’s being possessed by Bont and he’s also supposed to be strangling Bart. ---

Right now, he’s being possessed by Bont and he’s also supposed to be strangling Bart. I think I read that Bont is the last thing you need him for in the main quest line. So that’s something. But yeah, too many Homer based quests. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Dammit I know I need Moe for the next quest but I don’t know where the hell he is! Did I put him on a 3 day quest somehow? Just click on him in the bar on the left, click on “Do It” and it’ll center the screen over the building that he’s in. Then you can tap the building to see how much time is left. If it’s a long time and you’re willing to give up the points you can, with most buildings, put it in storage (and then put it back) and he’ll be back on the sidewalk. Something that I’ve been doing is putting people on quests that keep them in buildings instead of walking around. For example, instead of giving Marge an 8 hour job of walking Maggie I’ll give her the 6 hour job of Teaching Art Class at the jail. You’ll get less money (assuming you could actually use the 8 hours) but if in the middle of it there’s a quest the needs them you can get them out of it instead of waiting out the clock or using donuts to speed them up. Especially helpful when you find out you need them 30 seconds after you start the job. FTR, Moe doesn’t have anything longer then 24 hours, but if he’s spying on Midge he can be hard to find. Wait, I take that back, he has a two day job in the bar with his new suit. ---

Moe with the spiffy suit has a 2-day “Clean up the bar” job, but I think that’s his longest. ---

It’s the freak tent mission. It isn’t showing up at all because the dialogue hasn’t happened yet. Moe isn’t in the bar. It’s been a lot longer than his spy on midge mission. Where is he? ---

Oh cool, I was griping the other day that you couldn’t just cancel jobs for no reward if you wanted to. I guess you still can’t officially, but at least there’s a workaround sometimes. ---

I hope at some point they’ll figure out a way to scroll through the characters. They know we want it – they made a joke out of it on one of the quests once. I accidentally put Moe on a quest so I can’t send him to the freak show tent. I have Lisa trick or treating anyway, so should be able to get to that tonight. In theory. ---

Since I’ve gotten trough all the personal goals with the GOO, I’ll try to help you guys by declaring my Springfield a gremlin sanctuary. I’ll let the little buggers roam free to collect their full GOO loads (ew, that just sounds dirty). I make no promises that some won’t get squished whilst clicking around in normal gameplay, or if they look at me funny… ---

Looks like we may make it. We’re set to get the second reward tonight and it’s only been about 5 days. More people must be playing. However, a lot of us have passed 10,000 now and we could see a slow down.
