The Hits Keep Coming - Part 2: Going Global

[Metropolis Man]

It's not a rule change per se, but more of a clarification of the words in bold below.

• The only increase in Household Funds can be from the Manager's job, the Musician's Tips, and the Musician's Royalties. Your Helper Sim CANNOT earn any Simoleans.

Now reads...

My manager got 73,030,368 followers and my 2 musicians licensed 50 songs.

Household funds : 65,669 – 45,262 = 20,407
Social media Followers : 73,030,368 / 1000 = 73,030
LSM : 1.0+ 50 x 0.5 = 26

Total : ( 20,407 + 73,030 ) x 26 = 93,437 x 26 = 2,429,362

Very fun challenge for part 1 and 2, especially finding and relooking our musicians team and then making them do their "world tour"!
Playing with social media career was quite fun too and I never had a sim with so much followers 

[Metropolis Man]

This challenge ends Sunday night. Good luck finishing up!

Interesting challenge! My musicians licensed a total of 18 songs, my manager amassed 572,661,568(!!!) followers, and the household increased funds by 75,078.

Score: (75,078+572,661)* (1 + .5*18) = 6,477,400

[Metropolis Man]

Wow, @Rebelangel -- you never cease to impress. Great score.

EDIT: I do come up with 6477390, though. Am I wrong?

[Rebelangel]

The difference comes from a rounding error from dividing the SM followers. I had everything in my own spreadsheet. If I use the one attached to this link, I get 6,477,396.

Okay. I did not check with a spreadsheet but just plugged numbers into a calculator.

[Eighty8Keys]

Household funds : 123,778 – 68,340 = 55,438
Social media Followers: 21,842,564
Songs licensed by the two musicians: 16

Plugged it all into the spreadsheet and came up with a score of: 695,525

[Metropolis Man]

All done.

Household funds - 43217
Followers - 11382
Licensed songs - 7

(43217 + 11382) X (1.00 + 7) = 436792

Asking for a friend, who looks remarkably just like myself.

If said friend doesn't get anywhere near the 14 day mark when real life time ticks around to midnight on the 22nd, do I (I mean does my friend) stop my (I mean stop his) game at that time and record the figures at that time. Or does my (I mean his) score go in as DNF?

I will list both to be on the safe side (I mean I will tell him to list both to be on the safe side)

He tells me that he hasn't had any house fires due to cooking yet, I told him that of course he hasn't, because I'm the only one who has that level of skill. He seemed to be slightly offended by me suggesting I have skill as he hasn't spoken to me since.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Which goes to show I can even annoy my imaginary friends when I put my mind to it - yes, I'm really asking for myself, the mention of a friend should have given that away

It's not a DNF if you do not play all 14 days, Dek. Just plug the info into the spreadsheet with whatever you end up with and have to stop.

Thanks Metro

We got to Tuesday Week 1

and got the following

Beginning Household Funds: 4114
Ending Household Funds:      5289
Social Media Followers:            588
Licensed Songs:                           0
Score:                                     1176

And yes, Musicians Piano and Guitar Hitz as well as their Manager, Manager Hitz-Maker and Helpa Hitz-Maker had to sadly cut their world tour short when their watcher was almost turned into a pumpkin for being up at almost midnight on a work night. Helpa did offer to make the watcher into a pumpkin pie, but the watcher said no to that option.

Just wanted to make sure you were aware I had 0 licensed songs as per my previous post, not 1 licensed song as per the leader board.

Yep, I know. Thanks, Dek. The 1 is the final multiplier. Everyone started with a 1.

[junegem]

So my results, starting funds 46,610, final funds 94,094. Social media followers 3005, Licensed songs 8.  I put it into the spreadsheet and it said it was 237,435, hope this is right. Didn't do as well as I would have liked, but still enjoyed it.  some of those scores are amazing.
