The Flanagan-Nix Domination Dynasty: The Stereotypes

[CeresIn]

Good luck! I admire you for continuing, I failed the Immortal Dynasty four times, the last in the fifth generation, and I think it's going to be a long time before I try again. It's good to see you persevere.

[oshizu]

Oh, Knave has a very different look this time! Is that his Appaloosa Plains apparel? I guess Appaloosa Plains is to countryside for his former rock star look?
It seems that your founders are taking a completely different approach to careers and skills this time.
And Anastasia has even found her very own Little Grasshopper to guide along, lol.

Haha, Anastasia seems somewhat chastened by the death-by-meteor experience! We all love her sass!
Yes, I would love to see the two maintain an above-acquaintances relationship!
Why does it drop? Because they're both busy doing different things or because their traits contrast?

Moar, moar!

[hazelnut]

Wow!  First prize for pesistence to Pippin!

I recently saw a mod to incease the chance of meteors.  Why would anyone want that?  Or maybe their random numbers work out differently  .

[KRae]

Appaloosa Plains? Good idea, I think it has the smallest drone requirement. Meteors are why I never play with celebrities on. I had a sim who was hit by a meteor because she wouldn't stop posing for pix even when I told her to run. She and her unprotected grove of money trees were smashed.

Oh yay! I'm glad you managed to get it going again so soon, you really do deserve a medal or prize for your persistence! It's interesting to see you approach the challenge from another angle, they certainly seem off to a good start! Their personalities work so well together in writing, it's a great balance, but in game it must be tough to keep them happy with each other, or Ana not enemies with anyone.

I'm a huge fan of Oriele Bird, too. If I ever want to play with a klepto, she's my first choice. I always have a soft spot for clumsy sims, though, no matter how much it works against most skills, all the little animations are too charming for me to resist.

Good luck in Appaloosa plains. Hoping this time it is glitch-free and there are no meteor attack.

[Magpie2012]

Good luck with the restart, Pippin! I caught up on your Deca, only to see it end. So, I rushed over here, only to see Ana die by meteor O_o I can honestly say that I never had a meteor hit my sims' home in all the years of playing TS3, and I had all the packs and copious CC... I feel like I missed out now lol

Ana and Lavender Elvis ;-D what a combination, and I can't wait to see the first batch of nooboos!

You've got this Pip!
I love Anastasia and Knave. They're quite the dynamic duo.
Anastasia may actually do pretty well with this protege I see there.

I probably laughed harder than I should've at the "meteor protection" bit.

Good luck Pip! I'm rooting for you!

I rather adore this pairing myself  ;=)  I'm hoping I'll have lots of opportunities for Anastasia to cause chaos through young Benni.

Well, it's easier to persevere when I have such awesome and supportive readers, so you guys are making this happen just as much as I am!

I definitely rethought some of the ideas I had coming off the first attempt.  Some things about the challenge made better sense strategy-wise once I was already into the challenge.
I'm definitely fitting in time at least every other day for them to have several interactions to keep the relationship up.  They're glorious, but a bit exhausting!

More meteors?  I suppose if you really want lots of Grim guest appearances, or if you really hate paparazzo that could be handy?
First prize?  How flattering!

I actually picked it simply because I've only used it once that I can recall.  It was in the midst of my evil elf town jump from years ago.  That's obviously why I had no idea that Oriole was so lovely!
Poor Anastasia didn't really have enough time to run, so I'm not sure if she would have.

Oriole fans unite!  I may have to do a legacy or immortal dynasty in Appaloosa Plains so Oriole can be the spouse.
In my head, the plan for this run makes better sense than the "winging it" I was doing the first time.  Fingers crossed!

Good luck in Appaloosa plains. Hoping this time it is glitch-free and there are no meteor attack.

Well, it's looking glitch and meteor free so far.  Hoping that continues.  The game "crashes" a good amount, but I save very frequently with this file, so no worries.

I'm also really eager to see their offspring.  Who knows, maybe you'll find one you adore as much as you adored dear Tessa way back when  ;=)
You avoided meteors?  Lucky!  I also had one hit on day one of the life states dynasty I had tried and made it to gen 5 on.  Day one!  Almost killed my founder.
Oh, and I put the title you so graciously bestowed upon me into my forum profile  ;=)

Pippin:  Knave is somehow managing to level up in athletics.



Knave: Oww!  I'm obviously stronger now, because that hurt less this time.
Pippin:  Meantime, Anastasia continues to grow as a gardener.



Anastasia:  And what exactly are you planning to do to address the oncoming winter?
Pippin:  Oh.  I...that is...we could...
Anastasia:  Glad you've got this all planned out.  Now what about zombies?  Can I have a fence around my garden at least?
Pippin:  I'm sure they'll just all chat intellectually and leave the veggies alone.
Anastasia:  As if!  Everyone knos zombies are herbivores.  Just save us all time and send the meteor now.
Pippin:  I said I was sorry about that!  And meantime, the third member of our household, Oriole, continues to work on her sculpting skill.



Pippin:  Oh wait, she doesn't live here!  Why is she here all the time?
Knave:  She's my bestie!
Anastasia:  If she so much as remotely prompts a romantic thought from you, I will snap her neck and use her hair for shoelaces.



Knave:  Oh, my beloved, you're so amusing!
Oriole:  And kind.  And lovely.  Please don't hurt me.
Pippin:  But Oriole was not the only frequent visitor to our house.  This young lady would pop by on a daily basis to enjoy the house and whatever was in the fridge.



Knave:  Do you maybe think you could possibly clean up some things, if it's not too much trouble?  Like maybe take out the garbage or something?  Maybe?



Maid:  Oh, if only your scary wife wasn't here I'd so get away with never actually doing any work.
Knave:  Okay, thanks!
Pippin:  The expense of a maid was inconvenient, but it freed up time for skilling and relationship building.  However, a convenient way to get more money presented itself:  presents!



Knave:  Thanks for coming to our gift giving party, everyone!
Anastasia:  We plan to sell all your gifts.
Pippin:  But other visitors also came by the Flanagan-Nix household that night.



Zombie 1:  Well, I suppose everyone's expecting us to kill the plants.
Zombie 2:  I get so tired of the stereotyping.
Zombie 3:  Right?  As if, just because we're zombies, we'd be herbivores.
Zombie 2:  Exactly.  Some zombies happen to be carnivores, thank you very much.
Zombie 1:  And intellectuals, might I add.  As if we can't all just stand around and have a lovely chat.
Zombie 3:  Right?  If only people could see the real challenge that faces zombies in this so-called sophisticated era.
Zombie 1:  Undead discrimination, I tell you!  I'm going to write a sternly-voiced letter to my local congressman.
Zombie 3:  Here here!
Zombie 2:  Good show, old boy!
Pippin:  The undead.  They're people too.  Anyway, back to the people who are alive, they've each reached level 3 of their respective careers and have made headway in two skills each.  They're also making sure to have good relationships with important characters.



Knave:  May I please have a promotion, Mr. Boss?
Mr. Boss:  Oh, so you want me to promote you simply because we're such good friends?
Knave:  Yes, please!
Mr.  Boss:  How about no?
Pippin:  He's so lucky Anastasia's not home right now.  She was out with her protégé.



Anastasia:  No, young padawan, when the mixologist drops shards of glass on her own feet, we laugh at her pain.  We don't hold it in.
Benni:  You are so wise, mistress Anastasia.
Anastasia:  Indeed.
Pippin:  And despite not getting a promotion handed to him simply for being a nice guy, Knave did get a chance to improve his job status by learning martial arts.



Knave:  We're going to China!
Anastasia:  Whatever.



Pippin:  I don't think he could look any less threatening.
Knave:  Fear me, practice dummy!
Pippin:  Umm, Anastasia?  Isn't that someone else's garden?



Anastasia:  It's mine now.



Knave:  It punched me in the face!
Pippin:  This is hopeless.



Anastasia:  All the things are mine!
Pippin:  And despite the odds and everything resembling logic saying it couldn't happen, Knave somehow reaches level one of martial arts.



Knave:  I am a god of war!
Anastasia:  Well, that's fitting since you've married a goddess.



Pippin:  And Knave picks up another skill before they leave.



Knave:  Hey look!  There are fish in here!
Anastasia:  (Sigh) He's a ridiculous fool, but he's a ridiculous fool I enjoy controlling and manipulating.



Knave:  You're the best, honeybunch!

[oshizu]

Knave looks deceptively fierce in his martial arts outfit! *dies laughing
He can't take a class or seek a mentor or something? Like, wax on, wax off? (That's karate, not kung fu...sorry!)

Anastasia seems so much more restrained this time around!
Pippin, you must have really frightened her into behaving with that meteor!

I'm so glad to have your stories to read!

[Malley]

The philosophical zombie conversation was priceless 

[CeresIn]

So that's what the zombies are talking about when they emit those rare sounds, I just need a translator of the zombie language   

[Magpie2012]

Yay! You own that title I gave you, Pippin! You are by far and away the best of us all! And, you know what zombies are thinking which just makes you that much more awesome :-)
