The Tragic Tales of Sim John Kerry II
A couple months ago, I asked you to vote for how Sim Kerry II would meet his maker. You chose "bitten by flies. I tried to deliver, but just couldn't get it to happen. The flies wouldn't bite. I'm not sure why--maybe he was just too rich for their tastes...

Drowning, fire, starvation...those were easy, but darn it, that fly thing just wasn't happening. And darn it, that's what you guys voted for. Don't you just hate it when you don't get what you voted for?

Well, it was my kids that actually came to the rescue recently. They've been reading about the various cheats for this game, and told me about this "get killed by flies" cheat they'd read about. Really? So, how do you do this cheat? Er, no reason...just wondering...
Here he has just been bitten by the swarm of flies, and apparently is going to collapse into a pile of black dust. Doesn't make much sense to me either, but that's what happens. Just as his maid is showing up for work. Couldn't really make out what was in her thought balloon there. Dirt, I guess. She seemed to be thinking, "Ugh, I bet I'm going to have to clean that up!"
So now a Mr. Death shows up. He's here about the reaping. The maid apparently figures the cleanup is his job, and takes off.
Death checks his clipboard...
...pulls out his cell phone to call, er...headquarters?
 And then he's off on his way. The tombstone appears, but the black dust remains. And there it will stay, I suppose, since the maid seems to have decided it's Somebody Else's Problem.

I don't know about you, but after all this time, this seems kind of anticlimactic. Maybe that's because I had to use a cheat, and there was no real lead-up or plot development here. Just clicked "killed by flies" and *poof* they appeared.

But on the other hand, there's a nice sense of closure here. After all, if I say I'm going to get Sim Kerry bumped off by flies, then I should follow through with that.

'Cause voters don't like it when you don't keep your promises. Like, I remember this one guy who said that this time he was going to make sure every vote was counted, but then he conceded right away. And then he managed to be out of the country while other people made sure all the votes were counted.

How frikkin' rude and ungrateful! I just had to do better than that...
I couldn't get a good picture of it, but before Death left, he went inside Sim Kerry's house to watch a bit of television. I read on one Sim site that sometimes he'll even use the "facilities" of the deceased before he is on his way.
