My Johnny B Goode character in the Rock Star Challenge just threw a really great party, so I wanted to share some observations of what I did. With the huge addition I built to his home he could afford to invite the maximum guests — 8. And they were very targeted individuals. They were all Good Friends of Johnny's and my goal was to have them jump to Best Friend by the end of the party.
Step 1: Everyone shows up and is mulling around the front yard not really wanting to go inside. I instruct Johnny to go watch the big screen wall mounted TV and call over everyone to watch. There's 3 rows of couches, plus the nice stereo is going on at the same time. Plenty of lightning — it's a nice, big beautiful room.
Step 2: Johnny's wife Arianny is making 2 guest-sized servings of that egg dish I can't remember the name of
. After she kicks it up a notch they're Outstanding quality and she calls everyone to eat.
Step 3: Time for Johnny to live up to his name and he performs both of his Master Tracks. Guests start leaving during the 2nd song and it was an epic party.
7 out the 8 guests made the leap to be Johnny's Best Friend. It was a huge success. And he never opened his mouth and had to individually use specific socials on anyone. Lots of fun.
I think that will be my big strategy for that tournament — get the initial mass friendships via playing for tips in the park and in front of the Theatre, and then bring in small groups of weaker friends to strengthen the relationship.
