Challenge idea - Last Sim Standing. Offer suggestions!
« on: 2008 July 20, 08:10:02 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Okay, so talking in #grah this idea came up. A lot of 8 sims, and a series of tortures challenges to determine the last sim standing.

We need at least 8 activities, and I was thinking of a few hours between to let them recover and/or slip closer into aspiration failure.

2 obvious challenge activities:
1. Being in a room with a fire.
2. Getting hit by lighting.

5 more suggestions needed, also feedback on rules. Should sims be eliminated only when they die? Or should aspiration failure be an elimination point? What about peeing? Or should only one sim be eliminated per round?

Also, let's have some suggestions for cast for this extravaganza? One place has already been taken, but how about some suggestions for the others. Townies? Self-sims? Specific aspirations?

The first round could be really mundane, like tinkering/repairing with no mech skill for a set number of hours. Then you could ramp it up for the next round.

No 2 should be in the pool, it's quicker and fun to watch everyone get electrocuted
God bless the smiting option on the debugger

My suggestion: A room full of trash, see whom won't get flies devouring him/her

I agree with the "Sims locked in room with trash" idea. Also, I think Self Sims would be more lulz worthy.

Idea: lock Sims in room with Zombie with the Zombie Eats Brains mod (it's Pescado's, I can't remember the name at this moment in time) and see who doesn't become a Zombie/becomes Zombie last.

What about skilling with a thinking cap with low aspiration?
Being chased by bees is fun, too.

As for the aspirations: You could let them all start as knowledge teens, so they can grow up uneducated.

I think that aspiration failure as elimination point under these circumstances would make the challenge rather short.

Excellent ideas so far. I think the angry ghosts one might have to be the last challenge.

Cool idea. Given their obsession with playing basketball, you could probably do a first sim to collapse or last sim standing style challenge around it.

Also, let's have some suggestions for cast for this extravaganza? One place has already been taken, but how about some suggestions for the others. Townies? Self-sims? Specific aspirations?

I'd like to nominate Snowbawl so the townies can have their revenge.

The townies are dead.  On the other hand, they could be the angry ghosts, I suppose.

Okay, refining the idea a little more. I was thinking of adding in some "reward" type challenges as well.

Tortures (one a day):

1. Fire!
2. Basketball
3. Outside in a hailstorm
4. Hit by lightning
5. Garbage
6. Skilling with a lightbulb hat on
7. Zombie chase (because someone will be dead by now)
8. Angry ghosts.

There should also be a pool with a slide but no ladder, to see if someone will voluntarily commit suicide. If they break enough appliances, we can add repairing.

Reward challenges (based on letting sims free range)
1. First sim to get a skillpoint.
2. Sim with most friends.
3. First pair to woo hoo with ACR

Reward will be fulfilling a want, I think.

Obviously, I need to take out a bunch of hacks to make this more likely to cause upset and fatality. Any more suggestions for rewards or tortures?

In a non-awesome game there are tons of potentially lethal activities. Sims used to die from playing too long with the toddler and the rabbit head.

I thought of another:

Each sim goes to Dark Trepies Coffin and takes a peak making sure Dark Trepie has high energy levels, with low motives, whomever survives wins. For you see Dark Trepie is Dark

Sims can die from basketball?

As I'm reasonably fond of my MATY sims I haven't actually let any of mine die from basketball as yet. It's been a close call on several occasions especially with starving, pregnant sims who'd rather shoot hoops.

Cowplants are always good for a laugh - give the sims a choice between a tasty buffet or a row of tempting cowplant cake and see which way they jump.

Right, adding a freerange cowplant to the list. Actually, the cow might account for several fatalities.

I'm going for "will".  This is why simRohina has a lockable gate (which we hope is working now) on her cowplant enclosure.

I'm actually looking into this with anyone who can help me out with it, but I was thinking that maybe if you were interested you could download one of Paladin's weapons (like the assault rifle or whatnot) and have a modder make it autonomous to see which Sim would use it and against which other Sim first.

If it were me, I wouldn't make the ghosts be a challenge round of themselves, but instead a constant risk after the first round. If a sim dies from fright during a round, everyone gets a free pass.

I've not yet had death by basketball, but what about a "spin class", outside, in the middle of summer, with winter clothes on?  Undecided

Heh. To get that room of trash, why not let the useless cleanbots do it? Maybe it's too random waiting for them to break down and do their thing, though. Hydrobots would be good for that, as well. Sims wear themselves out cleaning while the next challenge is coming their way.

I think that the townies we hate the most would be lots of fun to watch in this. No muss. No fuss. Bye bye annoyance.  Cheesy

As for the garbage, I have a collection file that makes all sorts of things placeable, including garbage piles. I got it at MTS2, I might be able to find it again and link to it.

As for the tortures, I think maybe create a "patient zero" sim that has the flu, install "realistic sickness" (from here, I think), and let nature take its course with anyone who catches the disease?

I've suggested that earlier I think, or use the smite option on one of the sims when all of them are in the pool

Oh, I know, I just meant they might get sick with the flu after that. Possibly after been around the piles of trash for so long, especially if they attract roaches.
