Speed Dating

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It's that time of year again, and while some Sims are gearing up to spend the day with their special someone, yours is looking to jump back into the dating pool and prove themselves able to not only get the number of another Sim but have a good date with them (and maybe even get a kiss!). Time to head to the bar, club, or venue you think will have the most opportunities to get some phone numbers!


Challenge Rules

• Remember, the General Rules apply to all Tournament challenges. Exceptions may be noted below.
• In CAS (no Story Mode), create 1 Young Adult Sim (all life states allowed).
• No adding to the household.
• Clubs are banned for this challenge.
• As a reminder, the in-game social bunny app is banned.
• Day One: Send your Sim to venues/lots of your choice. You have until 8:00 AM on Day 2, Monday, to get as many phone numbers from other Sims as possible using "Exchange Phone Numbers." Keep track of who said yes for scheduling dates. This is the only day you can get Sim's phone numbers for scheduling dates in this challenge.
• Date time! For every Sim who gave you their phone number, you may schedule one date. The medal you earn on that date will be part of your score, as will if you earned a First Kiss or not.
• You may only give one gift on each date.
• If the date ends itself not from timer but an error/glitch, you may reattempt the date if you wish.
• Dates may only end early if you achieve a gold medal on the date.
• You may not schedule any dates after 8:00 a.m. on Week 2, Day 1, Sunday, but if you are still on a date, you may continue it until the timer runs out or you manually end the date.

Scoring

ENFK (Exchange Numbers & First Kiss) -- Each successful "Exchange Numbers" interaction adds 1 point. Each First Kiss adds 5 points.

Multiplier -- Everyone starts with a Multiplier of 1.00. Gold medal dates add 0.3 to the multiplier. Silver medal dates add 0.2, and bronze medal dates add 0.1.

Total = ENFK X Multiplier

The challenge goes live tomorrow (Monday), so please get any questions answered soon.

[Elinoee]

Do first kisses necessarily have to happen during date?

Do first kisses necessarily have to happen during date?

No, they do not have to be a part of the date.

[Metropolis Man]

This challenge ends Sunday night. Good luck to those finishing up.

My sim is successfuly done with her many dates!

41 successful "Exchange Numbers" interactions on first day = 41 pts
41 first kisses = 41x5 = 205 pts
Total ENFK= 246 pts

Golds medals : 41 (no silver or bronze medals)
→ Multiplier= 1.00+0.3x41= 13.3

Total : 246x13.3= 3271.8

In addition to my continuing Shop Titans gaming, I am now sucked into Last Epoch, with it finally being out of early access after four years. So, I am crunched for time but knocked this out.

27 Exchange Numbers - 27 pts
25 first kisses - 25 X 5 = 125 pts
Total ENFK - 152

Gold medals - 19
Multiplier - 1.00 + (.3 X 19) = 6.7
Total - 152 X 6.7 = 1018

[Eighty8Keys]

I had no time to practice and my score shows it, but at least I have a score.

3 Exchange Numbers - 3 pts
3 first kisses - 3 X 5 = 15 pts
Total ENFK - 18

Gold medals - 2
Silver medals - 1
Multiplier - 1.00 + (.3 X 2) + (.2 x 1) = 1.8
Total - 18 X 1.8 = 34

[LenaLJ]

Totally copying the format you all used to post the score with

39 Exchange Numbers - 39 pts
39 first kisses - 39 X 5 = 195 pts
Total ENFK - 234

Gold medals - 39
Multiplier - 1.00 + (.3 X 39) = 11,7
Total - 195 X 11,7 = 2281,5

Kasey Markham had a fun (though glitchy) week, and pursued 23 paramours.

23 successful "Exchange Numbers" interactions on first day = 23 pts
23 first kisses = 23x5 = 115 pts
Total ENFK= 138 pts

Golds medals : 22 gold & 1 silver
→ Multiplier= 1.00+(0.3x22) + 0.2= 7.8

Total : 138x7.8= 1076.4

[SueDenim]

I was only able to get 8 numbers.

So - 8 numbers, 8 first kisses, 8 gold medal dates.

48/3.4

163.2 total

Another case of 'my crazy life' strikes again. Was able to get in less than 24 Sim hours of play.
Deuce Bigalow successfully exchanged numbers 13 times and got one first kiss.

13 Exchange Numbers = 13 pts
1 first kiss - 1 X 5 = 5 pts
Total ENFK = 18

No dates so my final score is 18

This challenge is now closed.

Elinoee topped the small field of 7 participants, but this Speed Dating win makes it back-to-back wins for her. Great job, Elinoee.

Everyone can now discuss their strategy.

Thank you @Metropolis Man   

The most challenging part here was to get as many phone numbers as possible on the first day.
My strategy was to create a club with only single sims in it (we can choose that while creating a new club) so that it would be easier to flirt with them.
Since day 1 08:00 am,the club was always into meeting (chosen activities were socializing and flirting). For each targeted sim I chose "compliment appearance" and then "exchange phone numbers". I was only rejected one time but was successful 41 times.
As soon as my sim had another sim's phone number, I removed this sim from the club and replaced him/her with another single, in order not to lose too much time.

After the first day the dates began, and it was easy to get gold medals for each one.
The club was always running during the dates (but always with sims that had no romantic interest with my challenger, to avoid jealousy!) and with the "rally the troops" interaction my sim was able to be always on a date and had enough time to date her 41 "phones numbers".
My sim always got the gold medal (and the first kiss) at approximately half of the date. It was easy thanks to the club meeting always running: I chose the romantic atmosphere perk (at level max) ans always put the dating sim in the club during the date.

My sim finished the 41 dates on Saturday 22:30 pm, so she could have get 2 or 3 more dates but hadn't any more phone numbers!
