ISBI CHALLENGE! Join up now!

The ruleshttp://throughtheplumbob.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/deans_list.png

The Competition Rules! You have to have those things.

Please read the Backward ISBI twist rules here first.

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/665821.page#10562291

Depending on how many people sign up, the top one, three, or five people of each category will wind up with a spot at the winners circle.

If your family doesn't make it all the way through, your story will be moved to the graveyard. But if generation seven's torch holder makes it to the end, your story has crossed the finish line!

Your entry may be a story, or a simple recording of your results, but you must find some way or keeping us updated on your points and strategy.

You may record your proses on a forum page, or a blog site, or whatever else, but please not ONLY on this particular forum. Update this forum with a link or or note that you have updated, but this may not be your only place of recording.

Contest will run until all entered contestants have either crossed the finish line or are in the graveyard.

UPDATE TO THE RULES!
I have decided that if you FAIL the challenge, as long as no one has finished, you may start again.
The same applies to new contestants who want to join.
BASICALLY: Fresh starts are aloud until at least one contestant finishes.
Once someone has finished, no new trials make be attempted.

Tipshttp://throughtheplumbob.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/shared_great_idea.png

For the Founder:

:!: Start with what traits you choose
-> While all traits are good in their own way for storytelling and/or uniqueness as far as the challenge goes there is no denying that some are far more useful than other.
-> Plan ahead on what methods you will use. There are different ways to do this and the ways you choose will affect your best trait choices.
-> Consider whether you will be specifically trying for extra points. There are traits that will help with that too.

:!: Think about your method
-> There are probably more than you realize; I myself have found several. If one isn't working for you, maybe it's time to find another.

:!: Look for 'free time'
-> It's true that these come with expansions so this will be dependent on what you have available to you. But when used wisely, this 'free time' can win the challenge for you.

:!: Choose your skills wisely
-> You only have so much time to skill, carefully consider which ones will help you in your tasks. There are some that are not so obvious as others.

:!: Choose your spouse wisely
-> While you may not have a lot of time to be too picky, remember her traits will be affecting how she acts when you can't control her.
-> Remember: the less time your Torch Holder spends cleaning up after his wife, the more time he has to spend working on his lifespan.

:!: Life rewards are your friend
-> So use them wisely.

Hi all.

First, sorry I haven't updated in a bit, real life has gotten in the way, but I will update soon I hope. :)

Second, I think the death flower idea is a good one (if this topic is open for discussion still, lol).

Third, love your story Michelle.

Hi TitosMeow! Thanks! I've read a little of your story too and it's very good. :D

And zefiewings, I can post another couple of chapters but during game play poor Ben hit the end of his days... but he had found a death flower (in the process of trying to find life fruit) and used it. Now I know you said it should be grown because it's 'cheatier' than life fruit sooo.... do you want me to start over or take a -20 point hit for breaking a rule? It's your call! :oops:

Horray for more Kookiness and a new wife! Cultured Kooks. It sounds like a deliciously hilarious cooking network show.


As far as jumping on board, it looks like the contest is still going? I'm working on my own screencaps as well (just very, very slowly).

Haha! That's awesome! Cultured Kooks. I figured I'd do a two for one special since Kenneth's LTW required that he travel to China anyway! Wedding will be up soon... then BABIES! :D

Can't wait to see your update as well! :D
