This was a riot!

With a grand total of 4 Gnomes/RIs for 4000
A total of 27 regular days and 1 vacation day for 7000

I come up with a score to rival Dek's, a stunning -3000.

I wonder how badly I can do on the memories one.  ;)

I give up! Some of these pesky gnomes just aren't playing ball!
Finished with 6 gnomes/RIs on week 2, day 6 plus one day of holiday.

RI/Gnomes: 6000
Days Used 13+1: -3500
Total Score: 2500

The spreadsheet was awesome!

The random number generator wasn't being kind at all this time around.  I'm looking forward to hearing what (if anything) can help weight the chance of a gnome in the player's favour. 

13 gnomes/romantic interests = 13,000
Finished Week 3 Day 2 + 1 vacation day = 17 days x 250 = -4250
Overall score = 8750

I stopped after17 days (14 town days +3 days vacation) ...I just was not sure if the risk vs reward factor was going to pay off in my favor.

14 Gnomes/Romantic Interests = 14000

17 days game time = 4250

Total = 9750

Called it quits after 18 days.

7 Gnomes/Romantic Interests = 7000

18 days = 4500

Total = 2500

Not bad considering I know next to nothing about gnomes. As always, really looking forward to reading everyone's strategies in a few days when the challenge ends  :)

10 gnomes/RI's = 10000

plus playing to week 4 day 7 and 4 vacation days = 32 days = 8000 (I think)

Total = 2000

Considering I normally get a lot/inventory full of gnomes, with no idea how they got there, I think knowing what I was trying to do to get them actually significantly decreased my chances.

URI moved in and kicked out - 23 X 1000 = 23,000

Days - 28 (28 + 19 days Vacation= 47 ) X 250 = 11,750

Final Score 11,250

Now to knock out the next one..

For some reason I couldn't really get into this challenge and gave up after 8 days.

So my score is

(4 (RI) x 1000) =   4000 -
(8 (days) x 250) = 2000
                        =   2000

The score is in:
It took Saggitarius 29 days to hand over 22 gnomes so score is:

Days: 29 * -250 = - 7250
Gnomes/RI: 22 *1000 = 22000

Total 22000 - 7250 = 14750

File name: Femme Fatale

18 gnomes
12 days + 1 day abroad
18,000 - 3250 = 14,750

Not quite as frustrating as the Lottery, but close. :)

Didn't do great on this and never really got into it.

5 gnomes
19 days

5000 - 4750 = 250

Oh well. :)
