----- 2.1.4 Richies Rep Mission -----

* Get best promotion in Moogoo Monkey Minigame
     - At first I found this game to be a little difficult, as I didn't quite understand the rules or what ended a round. First, to find this game, go down to the docks and up into the boat. There's a big ol' green monkey dealing cards, and usually this is where you find Giuseppi Mezzoalto. Now, when you start the game, you'll have three opponents -- whom you cannot see. Everyone gets a turn to place their bet on whichever cards they think will be left after the game is over. One card is eliminated per round, and any bet you have on it is lost. You can easily keep track of where your bets are because everyone gets a different fruit. In front of you are different colored cards with weird monkey faces and numbers on them. It's wise to put your bets on the monkeys that you have corresponding HIGH numbered matching cards. So if you have a crazy purple monkey card with a 7 on it, and a sleepy blue monkey card with a 5, place your bets on those on the board. If you have all low cards, place your bets on the OTHER colors.
     - When it's your turn, you place a bet, then you get to place a card. All cards are matched by color automatically, so all you have to do is pick the one you want to play. For your first couple of turns, try to put your mid-range numbered cards (3-5) on the monkeys you want to eliminate. If you have lower cards, hold those until near the end, when it's more likely the others have foolishly wasted their highest cards. When a card is placed, it automatically writes over the card that's already there. So if Dusty Hogg put a sleepy blue monkey 2 down, your sleepy blue monkey 5 will take it's place. Everyone gets 3 or 4 turns to place cards, and your stash will be replenished as long as their are cards left in the reserve. Now, let's say the angry red monkey hasn't had any cards placed on him the entire round. The turns will continue until a card is placed there. Once there's a card there, whichever monkey has the lowest will be eliminated and you will either win or lose your bet. I've never seen tie 1 to 1 yet, so I'm not sure it can happen. There are three rounds and whoever has the most of his betting fruit left, wins. If there's a tie between you and another player, you win. I know you need lots of logic to advance, and you can get that by doing research on the computer in the Miniopolis Chronicle. You can also go to the University between 2pm and 5pm, or run to the Ninja at the Carnival between 2am and 3am to buy the Mind Berry Smoothie for $999

* Own $30,000 of items
     - All I can really suggest to make this kinda money is finding a couple of games you're good at and playing them every day. I rake in about $3,000 each from Basketball, Comedy Club, and the Red Man's Fiddling Game, and they're all open at times where you can play them each every day without rushing too much. As for reaching the $30k marker, it's almost easy. Check online and in the Glasstown Megamall for the really expensive items: Sky Diving Machine, PyroInferno Atom Burner Oven, Bamboo Bed (which you can buy from Paradise Island vendor), Giant Stuffed Gorilla, Robot Monkey Butler, String Theory Super System, etc. Just try not to buy anything that's less than $1200-1500 and you should reach the limit in no time. If you already have a lot of items and you get that pesky Fire Code message, store some of them in the secret areas given to you by certain Sims when you get 100 relationship with them
     - For the record, here are the secret places and who gives them to you:

• Ewan Watahmee - Under the docks (head down the plank walk toward the Casino Boat, but turn as soon as you see a path split off; keep going until you enter)
• Giuseppi Mezzoalto - The school bus between the Chopper Garage and the Thrift Store
• Sue Pirnova - The giant trash can outside the Glasstown entrance to Club Xizzle
• Det. Dan D. Mann - Go through the jail's secret passage to get to the place where you found the monster scaring Clem and Boo (there's a couch there you can't move, but it can still help if you need the space)

     - Overall, I only used my apartment (the King Tower Penthouse) and the garbage can secret space to keep all of my items. I purchased more than one of the most expensive ones, which were over $3k apiece, and that helped a lot. Try to get rid of dinky, cheap decorations and furniture if you can, and replace it with the expensive stuff.

* Have $10,000 in cash
     - The strategy here is pretty much the same as above, but you don't need to buy anything. One or two days of playing 2-3 level 3+ games in a row should get you what you need.
