Title: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: ZiggyDoodle on 2006 March 30, 19:08:46 Chloe Lee Bisgrove will graduate from Uni tonight, summa cum laude plus a gold talent badge in robotics.
I thought it would be fitting if Chloe's departing gift to her three roomies could be a Servo, to help keep the place clean, do term papers, homework, etc. So she built one as her last Uni hurrah. Upon attempting to initialize Servo, however, the Uni officials issued a warning to "HALT!" - citing only students and teachers are allowed on campus! Well that certainly is balderdash since the sentry and clean bots operate just fine in Uni. Blatant discrimination, I say. >:( Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: Simsbaby on 2006 March 30, 20:48:37 You could try having a sim activate it off campus and then move it in using Inge's Teleporter.

Stupid Maixs.... Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: ZiggyDoodle on 2006 March 30, 21:55:45 As much as I'd love to see a demonic Servo in a rampage, obliterating whoever crossed his path at the student union, Chloe is engaged to Maxwell Bennington, who owns Benny's Bots.
So I think I'll marry them off and put her Servo up for sale for about $65K - she can pay off her studen loans At least the sentry bot works. Can't wait till the streaker runs through the Uni digs while that bot is on. ;D Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: sanmonroe on 2006 March 30, 23:13:44 Yep, Maxis treats servos like little riggers.
May as well name your servo Chicken-George. Come the revolution... Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: AllenABQ on 2006 March 31, 18:42:15 ZiggyDoodle...
Is that a Dust Puppy doll in your avatar pic? :D :D :D Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: ZiggyDoodle on 2006 March 31, 19:17:42 Quote Is that a Dust Puppy doll in your avatar pic? Don't know - what's a dust puppy doll? Couldn't find my original avatar after the meltdown of MATY so grabbed this one because it sort of looks like my namesake (Ziggy, who is actually a quite comical standard poodle). At least the top of the head, that is. ::) Title: Re: Maxis violation of Servo's civil rights Post by: radiophonic on 2006 March 31, 21:48:58 Adults can't technically live on campus, if you're playing by Maxis rules. Servo is considered an adult. Servo also requires a considerable amount of social attention which makes it a bad choice for university lots since normally, your students don't have time to babysit a servo as they're too busy working, building up Greek Houses and other Uni-type activities.

Then again, I have him working as a salesdroid, so perhaps he gets all he needs that way.

Then again, I have him working as a salesdroid, so perhaps he gets all he needs that way. That's a great job for an outgoing Servo. Their social needs are just like any other sim. They need some social, but it all depends on personality. Mine is on the shy side. He likes building robots but also likes the whole sales thing in the store.
