Fiona and Ochana discuss something this morning. I think many of the top contenders are aware that one more good contact might make a huge difference when we get to the Friendly Points Gifting at 9 PM.
9 AM - Morning meeting
Super Sim Quatore welcomes everyone to the very last meeting. Everyone is more quiet than usual.
The following sessions today can affect the score:
During this meeting, emptying pockets. Selling stuff will add 50% of the value as points, and 50% will be added to the common account, which will be won at the Grand Contest starting in just 2 hours.
10 AM Ordinary chores will not earn points today, so they will probably not affect the scores either. Super Sim already dug up 1 Pyrite metal before this meeting, it's now in his pocket and will be sold during the meeting.
11 AM - Grand Contest! The common account balance is up for grab, and winner takes all! 1 Simoleon gives 1 point. The contest works like a 3 step cup where each fight is between two contestants.
Step 1 - paining and wood crafting:
2+2 contenders having zero painting skills, will paint 1 small piece. From each couple, one contender will pass on to step 2.
2+2 contenders having zero handiness skills, will craft 1 wooden knife block. From each couple, one contender will pass on to step 2.
If equal results, coin will decide.
Step 2 - Future Cube:
2+2 contenders will use the Future Cube, one by one. The most satisfied expression will win, and contestant pass on to step 3.
Step 3 - game of cards:
The 2 remaining contestants will play a game of cards. The one winning (or not leaving the table) will win the Grand Contest and earn the common account balance!
6 PM - Giftng points - each contestant will hand over 100 points to her/his best relation in the house. If a tie of 2, they get 50 points each.
Quatore also informs them about the big prize for the final winner of the show. There was rumours that the winner will only get the lot with no house, but it has been confirmed that the winner also gets the house! However, of tax reasons the total value must be limited to §40.000, whatever that means. There will also be some legacy contract involved.
Now for the last round of selling items from our pockets!
Ona: 3070 points. 1 Alabaster crystal (§50), 1 Treasure Map (§80). §65 added to common account. New score: 3135= points.
Ochana: 3040 points. Empty pocket. New score: 3040 points.
Fiona: 2502 points. 20 Snapdragons (§80), 25 Wildroses (§100). Adds §90 to common account. New score: 2592 points.
Fabian: 1528 points. 1 Prehistoric Rock (§15). Added to common account §7. New score: 1536 points.
Quatore: 1370 points. 1 Rose crystal (§50), 1 Pyrite Metal (§30). Added to common account §40. New score: 1410 points.
Sissela: 1203 points. 1 Tetra (§7). Adds §3 to common account. New score: 1207 points.
Otto: 787 points. 1 Dr.F doll (§35). Adds §17 to common account. New score: 805 points.
Although many points were added, the rank is unchanged.
Ochana confirms that the common account balance is currently §599. It means the Grand Contest winner will add 599 points to his/her score!
Today's schedule:
10 AM - Chores & Skills (chores only if needed)
11 AM - Grand Contest begins
9 PM - Friendly points Gifting + Winner announced
11 PM - We love our Plumbob green or red! Piza Party!
Last morning meeting ends.
10 AM - Chores & Skills
Nothing needs fixing, nothing needs cleaning, nothing needs harvesting. Fiona and Fabian decides not to weed, because they won't be rewarded anyway. Sissela would like to fish, but it's wiser to be prepared for the upcoming Grand Contest in just 1 hour.
11 AM - Grand Contest (step 1 - painting/wood crafting)
The simple, but yet a tad complicated, contest is about to start!
It seems like some of them did not prepare that well...
No no, Ochana, don't bring your food! You can't paint while eating, or can you?
Are we ready? It doesn't matter who finishes first, it's the result value that counts.
It's a bit strange that none of the males have handiness skills, and none of the women have painting skills, but it makes it very easy to organize as there are exactly 4 for each activity - it gets totally fair!
Painting small Classic Painting: Ona vs Fiona and Ochana vs Sissela.
Crafting wooden Knife Block: Quatore vs Fabian and Toby vs Otto.
1:15 PM all the 8 have completed their task.
Let's check the value of the paintings first.
Ona's painting is worth §87, Fiona's painting is worth §81. Ona is ready for step 2!
Ochana's painting is worth §81 and Sissela's painting is worth §72. Ochana is ready for step 2!
Now let's check the wooden Knife Blocks!
Quatore's Knif Block is successful and worth §10, Fabian's Knife Block is a failure worth §5. Quatore is ready for step 2!
Toby's Knife Block is a failure worth §5, Otto's Knife Block is a failure worth §5. They need to flip a coin, and it favours Toby, who is ready for step 2!
Step 2 (Future Cube) starts in the library at 3 PM sharp. Contestants can take care of their needs while waiting.
3 PM - Grand Contest continues - step 2 (Future Cube)
3 PM all 8 are gathered in the library. Fiona, Sissela, Fabian and Otto are all out of the Grand Contest, and are seated to witness the other 4 fight it out with the Future Cube! The most satisfied expression gives a win, and again they will fight 2 and 2. Ona vs Quatore and Ochana vs Toby.
Ona is first to ask a question to Future Cube, and...
... Ona cries out with disappointment!
- Don't be daft. Of course not.
Will Quatore be more satisfied with his answer?
- That's not important, What's important is that you're a champion. Stay strong champion!
This means that Ona is out, and Quatore has passed to step 3 - game of cards!
Next couple is Ochana vs Toby. Ochana first... (see pictures below)
She sure looks happy!
- Things look so very, very hopeless. Oh well!
Now for Toby, can he beat Ochana's reaction?
Yes! Toby is satisfied with the answer!
- It is decidedly so.
There's a tie between Ochana and Toby, and because the Future Cube is more fun than a coin, we'll let them go for one extra round (2nd row in the picture below)!
Yes, it's a positive reaction again!
- That's not important, What's important is that you're a champion. Stay strong champion!
Now, Toby, you will need a positive reaction, too!
Ha! Yes, it's all the same, the two equals again.
- That's not important, What's important is that you're a champion. Stay strong champion!
There is still a tie between Ochana and Toby, we'll let them have one final go with the Future Cube. If they still equal, it will be coin to decide.
Ochana asks her thrird question - can it be positive again?
Well, that expression sure is't positive, but not as negative as Ona's reaction, though.
- Stuck in Future Cube factory. Can't get out. Please send help.
Now Toby, if you can give a positive reaction, you will win this battle!
- Things look so very, very hopeless. Oh well!
Toby meets Quatore for step 3 - game of cards - at 8 PM!
First there will be a break, then the final Friendly Points Gifting session starts at 9 PM and then we'll have a final winner, yay!
Hm, looks like there will be a toilet queue!
When we've got the final result, a grand winner of the Sims by Numbers Show, the group will relax with some pizza. Tomorrow night there will be a real party for all at Captain Blue Nightclub. The nightclub was originally planned for today, but they all stink and I don't think it will be as fun to squeeze in a celebration away from home, tonight, just to see them all fall asleep.
8 PM - Grand Contest step 3 - game of cards
Finally, Quatore and Toby are ready to fight it out over a game of cards. Rule is simple, the one winning the game (or not leaving during the game) can add 599 points to his score! That's the balance of their common account converted to points 1:1. It won't help Quatore winning the big prize though, but Toby might be in with a chance, especially if he has got a good number of friends gifting him!
The contestant with the lowest score of the two, Quatore, will initiate the game of cards.
The other 6 are seated to witness the match. Hopefully it will not drag out too much, they are all hungry by now...
It's 8:35 PM. If the game lasts 1 hour, we'll soon have a winner! It's quiet as Quatore and Toby play their cards.
Fabian stinks, and has left to take a bath (although free will is off during this session).
Thinking of it, these two are the only contestants who played a game of cards in the past. Must be a coincidence!
Then Quatore raises his hand - he wins this game! He earns himself 599 additional points!
And Toby's chances dropped.
9 PM - Friendly points gifting
Now for the very last chance to grab a good chunk of points! Each of the 8 contestants will hand over 100 points to the one contestant s/he likes the best. If there is a tie the 100 points will be split.
Before this final session, let's have a quick look at the current score:
1. Ona 3135 points
2. Ochana 3040 points
3. Toby 2885 points
4. Fiona 2592 points
5. Quatore 2009 points
6. Fabian 1536 points
7. Sissela 1207 points
8. Otto 810 points.
Super Sim Quatore ranks first and will start. Loser Toby ranks last and will give the final points.
We'll pretend they write the name of the one they like best on a piece of paper, and somehow squeeze it into this box :) They walk by one by one...
Quatore has a positive relation to Ochana, Toby and Otto, but Otto is a little behind the other two. Ochana 50 points. Toby 50 points.
Ona has a positive relation to her rommate Ochana and Otto. The relation to Ochana is way stronger. Ochana 100 points.
Ochana has a positive relation to Ona, Quatore, Toby and Fabian, and just a tiny relation to Fiona. The relation to rommate Ona is superior; Ona 100 points.
Fiona has a very weak relation to Ochana. It's hardly significant, but still, Ochana 100 points.
After half the friendly votes, the scores are the following (100 points was taken from all 8):
Ochana: 250. New score: 3190 points.
Ona: 100. New score: 3135 points.
Toby: 50. New score: 2835 points.
Fiona: 0. New score: 2492 points.
Ochana is in the lead, just 55 points ahead of Ona! It's still not decided!
Fabian has one clearly positive relation to Ochana, and just about made contact with Sissela. Ochana 100 points.
Sissela has a hardly significant positive relation to Ona and Toby, and even smaller to Fabian. Ona 50 points, Toby 50 points.
Ochana: 100. New score: 3290 points.
Ona: 50. New score: 3185 points.
Toby: 50. New score: 2885 points.
Fiona: 0. New score: 2492 points.
Ochana has increased her lead, she is now 105 points ahead of Ona. All we know is that the winner is either Ochana or Ona, both have already given their votes and can gain points from both Otto and Toby... wow...
Otto has a positive relation to Ona, Quatore and just about to Toby. The relation to Ona is clearly the strongest, Ona 100 points!
This means Ochanas lead is reduced to only 5 points! Ha ha, I don't believe how close this is! Tony lost to the ladies, but at least he will proudly decide the grand winner! Drums!
Toby has positive relations to Ochana, Quatore and hardly significant to Otto and Sissela. The relations to Ochana and Quatore seems equally strong; Ochana 50 points, Quatore 50 points.
We have a Sims by Numbers Show winner!!! Ochana Mox beats Ona with only 55 points, and this is the final result!
Ochana Mox, currently in her sleep wear, has won this house worth §40.000 and will be the founder of my TS4 legacy called Gloomville Diaries! Yay!
Final scores can be seen in the Summing it up section below. Ochana won with only 55 points, it could hardly be more exciting! Phew!
Now the group will get a few minutes to take a shower and dress for a pizza party in the dining room. Quatore ordered the food although he is no longer a Super Sim, but then again, Fabian no longer has the Chef chore either - they are free :). There will also be some surprise entertainment! Tomorrow night there will be a public celebration at Captain Blue Nightclub!
This show has formally ended, but we'll just have a final word from each of them while they enjoy some pizza.
- Get seated guys! As long as I get the green chair, you can sit wherever you like! I'm winner, after all!
- I want to thank each of you for some great time - here in my house! Ha! You guys will leave, and I will stay, it's strange and I'm gonna miss you! If you stay around Gloomville please stop by, but please don't hand over any more of your points, because I won't need them! Ha ha!
- Congratulations, Ochana! It must have been deserved, you was hanging up there in the top 3 all the time! Me? I might settle in the region, and I can't wait to talk to locals without focusing on that my number is 4! Ha ha!
- Congratulations, roommate! For a second I thought it was gonna be me, but no, you got it all! Like you can see, I chose the red loser chair, because that's how I feel right now, although 2nd is pretty good, too.
- What can I say, I'm finally free to play the Violin as often as I want! And, my friends, if the show management allows it, I'd like each of you to take one of my paintings with you. Unfortunately I can't offer you a dino stencil, even if you would prefer one of those, ha ha!
- Thanks everyone! It's been fun, and althoug I hate to admit it, I'm sad to leave! These 20 days gave me a strange wish to run my own hostel! Seeing how well we did together, most of us, I think it will work running such a place. If any of you need a place to stay, well most of you, let me know! I just need to find a cheap place, first, ha ha!
- I take the point, Fiona! No hard feelings though, we're no longer roommates. And good luck with your hostel, you know I'm a loner, so I think I'll rather find some silent hideaway at Oasis Springs.
And, I must admit, I'm thrilled to sit this close to that green chair, it's a first for me! Ha ha!
- You ladies were great, of course, but all I can think of now is to check out the local beauties at Captain Blue Nightclub! Don't get surprised if you find me tending the bar tomorrow night! Now that I'm no longer tied to this show, I'm sure it will be much easier for them to grab for me! Fiona, I might need a bed at your place while I sort the offers from those girls.
Pizza party ends. Like all pizza parties tend to do. But Ochana had received a small note telling her to walk outside to arrange for a fun moment before they all leave.
All 8 contestants on the Sims by Numbers Show were created and dressed up according to their personal number. Ochana's number is 8 and even her name is based on the Spanish Ocho. All of them were created and styled in the CAS Demo, and we know there was some changes to the order of options in the full CAS version.
So here's a typical female number 8 outfit according to the full version :) Still tasteless, or maybe just personified? Would your impression of Ochana be the same if she wore those clothes?
Most of them had weird outfits, really, but in a way I learned to like these 8, just the way they were :)
- That's all for the fashion show, ladies and gentlemen! I guess we will all flock to the clothing store first thing in the morning? Yawn, I'm rather exhausted now, so I think I need to go to bed. I assume you will all leave, and we'll meet again tomorrow night at Captain Blue Nightclub!
Well, you got just one detail wrong there, Ochana, you will leave the house, too! Someone needs to prepare some adjustments for tomorrow! Single rooms are waiting for all 8 at Hotel Shady Perl in town.
A Limo will take Ochana back to Willow Field tomorrow at 10 AM. That will make the start of my legacy story called Gloomville Diaries!
Each of the eight was allowed to take one of Toby's paintings, as well as one of those dolls they all collected. It's always good to bring a few memories, wherever you settle ;)
