Lincoln Broadsheet Conversation

Annoy: -4

Leave me alone! You're worse than a whimpering cow.

Apologize: -1

For what? You didn't sell me out did you? You aren't working for Daddy Bigbucks are you?

Brag: 2

Well, now... a famous and well connected person like you could really be an asset. Keep in touch.

Call Name: -2

Is that the best you can come up with, you dim-witted delinquent?

Cheer Up: 0

It's hard for me to be cheery about anything these days. What can one person do?

Complain: 3

Of course it is hard to get to the truth, [player]! But that's why people like us are put on this planet. To fight!

Compliment: -1

Stop smothering me in praise. There are more important matters. There is still so much work to be done!

Cry: 2

Wow! Emotional drama! Keep doing that and I'll go get my tape recorder.

Entertain: 0

Amusing [player]. But now is not the time for acting silly. We have a mystery to solve... somewhere.

Flirt: 3

Gosh, that's so sweet. I've been so busy lately, I've forgotten how to flirt back.

Give Opinion: 1

Can you justify that opinion? I need sources, buddy. Facts. Documents. Photographs. PROOF!

Gossip: 2

Yes! I always knew Daddy Bigbucks was up to no good! Now we just need to verify your sources.

Insult: -3

Can I quote you on that? I look forward to tarnishing your public image.

Intimidate: -3

Are you trying to blackmail me? Is that what you're up to? Wait. Say it louder... into this microphone.

Jibba Jabba: 3

I should compile an online dictionary to collect your strange expressions!

Joke: 0

How can you tell jokes at a time like this, when this whole city is being taken over by a money mad crook?

Rude Gesture: -6

Hm. I haven't seen that one for a few years.

Talk about Aliens: 3

They're walking among us. I am sure of it. I just need evidence!

Talk about Art: 1

I have no political cartoonist, so I publish the things my daughter draws on napkins.

Talk about Books: 0

The key to being a successful journalist is owning a lot of books you have never read.

Talk about Cars: 1

The city doesn't allow cars in the cultural centers, so you can get anywhere in seconds.

Talk about Computers: 3

Ever since I hooked up to the Internet, I've been able to uncover 100 times as many conspiracies as I did in the old days.

Talk about Construction: -3

Oh, there haven't been any public projects in Urbania for decades! Outsiders don't care what happens to us down here.

Talk about Cooking: 1

You've got to try this new cocoa-apple cake recipe I found on the Internet! Mix together equal portions of chocolate, nuts, and apples, then bake the mix for a bit. Scrumptious!

Talk about Crime: 2

When reporting crimes, I try to be vague. My last story just said: "Somebody stole something from somewhere."

Talk about Dancing: 0

Well, that's a tricky subject, [player].

Talk about Exercise: 2

I wheel myself up steep hills as fast as I can. That's why my biceps are bigger than your head.

Talk about Games: 2

I do crosswords sometimes. They ease my mind and improve my vocabulary.

Talk about Graveyards: 0

The graveyard holds some very famous people, but I can't think of a single name just now.

Talk about Health: 0

The city puts fluoride in our water! Another government plot to spoil our precious bodily fluids.

Journalism used to be just a hobby. Gosh, I loved it back then.

Talk about Home: -3

I don't know why, but I have a feeling my house is bugged.

Talk about Home Decor: 1

When I was sixteen I had a great old typewriter. I wonder where it is?

Talk about Hygiene: -2

I got a phone call telling me that the tests were benign, but I haven't been to see a doctor in over a year.

Talk about Jail: 1

I'd like to interview you about your time in jail, but only if it was a nice experience.

I play darts just for kicks. But I have a real job.

Talk about Miniopolis: 2

Miniopolis burned down in 1914, 1916, 1919, and 1921. After that they banned fire-eaters from the carnival.

Talk about Movies: 1

Movies are easier to enjoy when you see them for free. I'm so lucky to be a journalist!

Talk about Music: 1

For some reason I only listen to music recorded between 1963 and 1970. Those were good years.

Talk about Nature: -2

What are you talking about, human nature or mother nature? Ah, what does it matter? They're both odd.

Talk about Ninjas: -2

I don't report rumors and speculations, [player].

Talk about Politics: 2

Always compliment politicians before asking hard questions. For example: "Nice glasses. When are you going to resign?"

Talk about Rep Groups: 1

I hang out with the Nerdies once every week or so. We kick back, watch films, and roll some 20-sided dice.

Talk about Science: 0

The government is trying to convince people that the scientific method is based on bad science. I'm looking into it.

Talk about Shopping: 2

I have good information that tells me SimCity is going ahead with plans to build a mall inside their mall.

Talk about Simoleons: -3

You don't get into the newspaper business expecting to make loads of money. I DID expect to make SOMETHING though.

Talk about Sleeping: 1

I'm one of those power -nappers you hear about. I just need 20 minutes of sleep every 3 hours... Oh, you too?

Talk about Sports: -1

I don't know what Miniopolis needs first: A sports reporter... or actual sports.

Talk about TV: 2

Personally I think I'd make a great television host. I'm handsome, charming, and I don't shine when I sweat.

Talk about Theatre: 1

Theater isn't very popular, so the reviews I write are short. My review for Hamlet just said: "Go see it."

Talk about Travel: -3

I've been to 50 countries in 2 years, and I didn't enjoy it for a second. I was working the whole time.

Talk about Work: 3

I'm like a detective here. That's why I love reporting. I get in other people's business and figure things out.

Talk about the Bayou: -3

I shudder thinking about it. There are more dark secrets there than the sky has stars.

Talk about the Carnival: -1

The carnival is a front set-up by a secret government organization for... I forget.

Talk about the Coffee Shop: 0

Coffee is the only thing that keeps me working 18 hours a day. It's one of those necessary evils.

Talk about the Cosmos: -2

I get depressed thinking about the size of this city, much less the universe.

Talk about the Law: 1

The law is one of the most important subjects a journalist can know. I'll read up on it.

Talk about the Lounge: 2

The Casino is the best place to find a good story. Just stand in one spot and watch the drama unfold.

Talk about the Market: 1

Those guys are the reason my paper doesn't have a classified section.

Talk about the Museum: -2

If I told you the shady deals that went on to get that museum built, you'd steal the building's doorknobs.

Talk about the Newspaper: 3

I started the Miniopolis Chronicle 25 years ago for a measly 400 Simoleons. And I'm still paying it off.

Talk about the River: 0

The river flows from the mountains beyond SimValley, which may explain the three eyed frogs.

Talk about the Supernatural: 1

Once a week I get phone calls from people who tell me they've seen a monster swimming around in the river. Odd.

Talk about the University: -2

My sources there tell me that at any given moment, over 35 percent of the students are asleep.

Talk about the Weather: 0

The weather section is easy section to edit. Today, sunny. Tomorrow, sunny. Next week, the same.

Talk about the World: 2

There's a rumor going around that dolphins actually control the world. Have you heard this before?

Tease: -1

I am going to sue you for libel... Well, I would if I had the time and money.

Tell a Bad Pun: -1

It's funny, [player]. But I can't print it.

Tell a Secret: 2

Interesting. If I use this info, I'll keep you anonymous. I'll give you a code name: "Sore Throat." How's that?

Hug

You're just looking for somewhere to sit down for a while, aren't you? No thanks.

Kiss

No! This feels like a sting! Where's the camera?

Gift (Accept)

Hey, thanks. I've always wanted something like this.

Gift (Reject)

No thanks. My office is cluttered enough, as is.

Errand (Accept)

Sorry to bother you, but could you deliver this dictionary to [Sim]?

Errand (Reject)

I don't have anything I need delivered today. Sorry.

Move In (Reject)

Listen, I can't think about stuff like that now. Sorry.

Silent Treatment

I'm too busy to bother with the likes of you right now.
