Death: Fun for all!
I admit it, I made him kill himself before I did anything else. I made him eat chicken to death twice! ^.^ It was also amazingly satisfying to save him in the end. If only it was longer.
Tips for all: Figure out his favorite job, make him work it non-stop (bar sleep) until you have the desk, the computer and the dumbbell (for the worst case scenario below). Keep making him go online until his work ethic is maxed, and then he'll get about $20 a second when he gets back to work. If his mood goes below 30, buy him a chicken bucket before you send him online again. It knocks his health down by 10 each bucket, but he should get that back randomly from the computer.
Worst case scenario; he's below 30 mood and 10 health. In that case, use the dumbbell to build his health up to acceptable levels. It takes much longer, but it's still better than starting again. If his mood's above 15, though, you can give him some brocolli, then a bucket. That'll give you one more shot at the computer.
