These last days will be packed with events, point earnings, as well as summing up stuff. See yesterday's morning meeting for some details on this all.
9 AM - Morning meeting
Today's meeting is leaded by Quatore, who is today's Super Sim. We'll go by his whims until dinner, but first we'll check his purchase wishes. Anything? Nope.
Ochana tells them the bills were paid yesterday, and the common account currently holds §62.
The group is a bit quiet this morning. Some finds it sad that Sissela lost many points from falling a sleep at the BBQ yesterday, and today she will be forced to leave the house. But others are more concerned with the air in the dining room right now. It's simply hard to breath, because several contestants forgot to shower this morning...
And now they stink real bad!
Then Quatore has to bring up the terrible subject...
- Sissela, you lack 194 points. You understand that you must leave us?
- Sure... *sigh* oh, what is this? There's something in my pocket, eeeek, lots of foul fish!
It turns out Sissela forgot to deliver the fish she caught yesterday. First she brought them to the BBQ, then to the house party at Zilla Brox. The fish should of course have been turned in for points, like she usually does. Normally she will just catch just a few, but wow, there seems to be some values in her - uhm, sleepwear pockets! Fish is foul, so it can't be stored in the fridge, but it can be sold. 2 Bass (§65), 1 Perch (§8), 1 Minnow (§6), 1 Tetra (§6), 1 Salmon (§187), 1 Angelfish (§11). And 1 apple (§3). That's a total of 286!
So, Sissela was saved by the salmon and this means she can't be thrown out! Haha, sorry folks, I wasn't aware of all those fish when the day 16 report was published, I really thought Sissela was leaving today. With just 92 points, she might still be leaving though, just not today...
Now, Quatore reads up from the little note, that there will be a dinner party tonight! But only a few selected household members will attend, while the others will travel to Muggerdale Fair. Super Sim's number decides how many of the 8 dinner guests will be from the household, the rest will be Super Sim's best non-household relations. Super Sim Quatore's personal number is 4, meaning there will be 4 persons from the house including himself as the host. The other 4 will be Quatore's best relations from out of the house.
So, who are Quatore's best 3 contacts in the house? Otto, Toby and Ochana will be on the guest list! Now for the 4 non household guests. Quatore only has a green relation to Josue Egan. Check. The other non-household contacts seems very neutral, so we'll simply use Quatore's number 4 to pick them. Counting from top, we get Kevin Grossing, then the next 4 and we get to Charlotta Murderia Crumpleton, then the next 4 that are not yet chosen and we get Carlos Egan (probably Josue's brother).
This means that Ona, Fabian, Fiona and Sissela will travel to Muggerdale Fair at 6 PM. There will be some points up for grab, more about that later.
Today's schedule:
10 AM - Chores & Skills
1 PM lunch
6 PM - Ona, Fabian, Fiona and Sissela to Muggerdale Fair.
7 PM - Dinner party - Quatore, Otto, Toby, Ochana + 4 guests.
11 PM - Moods & Scores
Meeting closed.
10 AM - Chores & Skills
They all walks off to perform their chores, it's becoming routine and we'll not focus a lot on the others, but stay focused on Super Sim Quatore. He rushes outside to dig up something, but gets the idea to find another digging spot, so he walks over to the public park here at Willow Field. If this area used to be farmland for 100 years, maybe he can dg up some old stuff?
Well, Quatore finds the mysterious time capsule, and it contains a doll earning him 35 points.
He must be disappointed, because he is currently third, but will need to collect many points to beat Ochana and Toby. 35 points - meh...
Quatore must take care of his chores. He is responsible for cleaning, and there's enough work to keep him busy for a couple hours. Toilets infected with flies, a kitchen sink that needs some attention unless it shall be used for growing food, and why is there always so much water on the bathroom floors? Can't Remairman Ona upgrade these things to un-poodle-state?
Now it's time to follow Super Sim Quatore's whims. He wants to chat with Fiona about interests, so he is directed to the garden.
She pays attention although she is busy weeding. Maybe Quatore can help her instead of explaining his interests? Or maybe not...
Now he wants to play chards - and because Toby turned up in the main hall, not seeming too busy, Quatore challenges him for a game.
... a game that Toby obviously won... Quatore is quite angry over this loss.
In the library Otto is serving the bar, and I get a feeling especially Ona is trying to get a spot at tonight's Dinner Party. But although Otto is the Party Fixer, he will hardly be involved with hosting tonight's even, and Ona knows that!
Eating and drinking at the bar seems nice! :)
Now Quatore wants to play chess.
He is a family guy, I think he appears more like a Knowledge man today. Okay, it seems boring, but hey, he has a whim of buying a toy, too, but he is not allowed to spend their money.
Ochana and Toby are whispering about something...
I assume they are very much aware of being top 2. Ochana is about 1000 points ahead of Toby, and she is probably pretty sure that she will win the whole thing. But what will happen when they empty their pockets tomorrow? Or when their Reward Points for fulfilling whims and wishes etc on day 19. Or when each of them will give 100 points to their best contact on day 20? Can someone jump up to take the lead?
6 PM - Small group to Muggerdale Fair
It's time for Ona, Fabian, Fiona and Sissela to travel to Muggerdale Fair! That's the small but cozy market with a bar and BBQ facilities, located in the poor hood, Muggerdale. It's okay to spend the night there, but it would of course be more fun to join Super Sim's dinner party!
The only points up for grab:
200 points - first to sit down.
So, the little group arrives Muggerdale Fair. And Fiona walks right over to the BBQ area and sits down to eat some leftovers... yuck, but well worth 200 points!
Then we'll simply leave these 4 to themselves, and return to the house to run a Dinner Party!
7 PM - Dinner party
There will be more points up for grab at the dinner party!
300 points - telling a joke that causes minimum 2 guests to laugh.
200 points - cleaning minimum 1 item from the table
-200 points - fall asleep during the party
-300 sitting in the Loser chair
The event is supposed to start now, but host Quatore is asleep! He is obviously in a pretty red mood, but we wake him up, and he does what it takres to organize the Dinner Party. This is the first time I run this kind of an event, so I'm a bit unsure if something should have been planned in advance. And it turns out, yes it should...
- Oh, who will do the cooking? Me?
So, off to the kitchen, Quatore! There's no time to waste, the guests have arrived!
Quatore has 3 cooking skills, so the menu options is long enough. His number is 4, and option number 4 is a cake. Because he should serve something warm at a dinner party, he picks option number 5, Mac and cheese. Maybe there can be a cake later.
Then it's time to call the guests to the meal...
We'll follow the party guide that pops up and indicates the tasks to perform in order to run a successful party. I'm a bit surprised that aside of calling guests to the meal, most tasks looks very similar to a house party. Besides, at a house party I can order a bartender and a chef, but I didn't see those options with a dinner party. Bug?
Well, guests flock to the dining room, and it's kind of rewarding seeing this room used for something else than the morning meetings :)
Carlos Egan chose the red chair, saving the household members from losing 300 points!
Oh, Toby talks out loud about woohooing! At a dinner party? Is it a joke? Ochana's grin sems a bit false, and their neighbour Kevin Grossing (wearing glasses) doesn't seem too amused.
It's a lively party though!
Toby tells another joke, but I didn't see anyone laughing. He built relationship somehow, but it won't qualify for those 300 points.
It's quite interesting to watch the interactions across the table.
Oh... guest Charlotta Murderia Crumpleton leaves the table already! She must have been hungry, and she hardly said much, because her plate is already emptied.
There are now two chat groups, Toby, Otto, Carlos Egan and Kevin Grossing. And Quatore, Ochana and Josue Egan. Some jokes are told, but nothing that triggers the broad smiles, it seems.
Quatore and Otto left the room, too. Toby leaves his chair, too, and sits down at the bigger table, on Charlotta Crumpleton's chair, closer to his chat group, Carlos Egan and Kevin Grossing. That makes sense!
Oh... 9:15 PM the others are returning from Muggerdale Fair already! Well, it's good they will be back before 11 PM anyway, it will make the plumbob check much easier. They will not be considered party guests though, meaning they can't earn/lose the points for cleaning table or falling asleep.
Haha, Otto hits the floor and loses some points. Ona obviously thinks she has joined the party, as she dressed accordingly. But you're not invited, Ona!
Also Quatore falls aleep on the floor! It costs him 200 points, too!
Dinner completed, nobody got points from telling jokes at the table, and this oportunity now expires.
Toby just left the diningroom to play on the computer, but now he walks upstairs instead. He has a secret...
Toby is a pretty skilled Painter already, reaching level 7. His work have been worth anything from 120 to 290. Today he might have cracked some code, because he felt the painting came ut very unique, and he can't wait to sell it tomorrow! He thinks he might get lots more than he usually does! Those values are transferred into points, and with some luck he can become a real tough contender for the best total score!
He can sell maximum one painting per day, but he will also need to pay §75 or §100 to get a new painting sarted. And he has gifted one painting to the house every second day. He will naturally gift the less valuable works, and sell off the most expensive. If he can only understand why he feels like he does for his latest work!
Quatore runs upstairs to tell Carlos Egan thanks for comming! And young Charlotta Murderia Crumpleton is having fun with the VR game. She is just a teenager, actually, it's so hard to tell teens from young adults!
It's 11 PM, and although the party will go on for a couple more hours, we'll check on those plumbobs!
11 PM - Moods & Scores
It must have been a tough day, because there are no green blumbob in the house tonight! There are 3 yellow; Ochana, Toby and Fiona. Of these Ochana is the better, so tomorrow's Super Sim is Ochana! She is already in the lead score wise, will she now grab 200 additional points from the new Loser?
- Congratulations, Ochana! Do you think it's better to be the Super Sim these late days than when the show started?
- Thanks! How would I know? For all we know tomorrow's note might tell us that Super Sim shall spend all day cleaning. It would be better if we knew the next day's benefits in advance.
- Better and easier?
- Of course. It might be more fair that we don't know a thing. I do think each of us should pay more attention to our pockets though. Especially if we stuffed them with fish.
There are 4 - four - red plumbobs in the house tonight! Otto, Fabian, Ona and Quatore. From these Quatore has the worst plumbob! So, tomorrow's Loser is Quatore, and now he will need to hand over 200 points to Super Sim Ochana, unless he solves the midnight challenge within 60 minutes!
Quatore's number is 4 and today is day 17, giving the number 4+17=21. There are 9 alternative challenges, meaning Quatore must do challenge number 21-9-9=3.
3. Walk outside in the street and hug someone!
Quatore is very tired. It's no secret that he failed! After waiting 30 minutes for someone passing by, he tried to greet the guy, but fell to the ground instead. Poor, poor Quatore - there goes 200 points from the Loser to the Super Sim!
