Side Project #14476: DecaDynasty Challenge (Failed)
« on: May 29, 2011, 12:27:57 PM »
It seems crazy to think about doing a DecaDynasty on top of two Dynasties but I love a challenge so why not?
*clearing of throat from background*
Oh and Artie is bored since he's now an immortal.  With his wife having recently passed and a new challenge given to us by Metro, he wants something to do until his love of trampolining returns.  
And I wanted to see where Velmoor is from.
So after much arguing with the little red man on my shoulder, Who you calling little?, we finally chose a household to start our new adventure.
*trumpets into Rica's ear*




We'll get back to you when we finally decide what to do with these folks.

Who are that gargoyles? :o I suppose it's either Bridgeport or Twinbrook, isn't it? Still excited, though! ;D

I'm looking forward to reading your DecaDynasty! I'm very curious how you'll approach the non-continuous nature of the challenge in your writing.

Artie: Well with Rica having festivities all weekend we tried to squeeze in some time with the new house and then we hit a snafu.  So unfortunately, they're out of the running.
Rica: Yeah I really wanted Barry Tenderlove because he reminded me of Jackson Starr.  However, I alt-tabbed yesterday then had to leave the house and unfortunately it was like Day 4 when I realized the game was still on.  Not as bad as all that but I like having control Isn't that the truth so we're going to start on a new family.

I do want to share one funny picture I got though.  Ace Wilde manages to camouflage in the deep night of Bridgeport.

Oh my. That is why you have to Save and Quit before you leave the house. So sorry, Rica. :'(

It was an honest and dumb mistake on my part.   I'm going to wait for my download to magically  happen tomorrow and then I'll thinking about starting up with a new family.

Side Project# 14476 Restarted

New Victim: Harwood Clay
Address:  1 Poker Flats Drive,  Twinbrook


Harwood Clay, Elder
  • Savvy Sculptor, Eco-Friendly, Charismatic, Artistic, Perceptive
  • LTW: Descendant of Da Vinci
  • Career: Stagehand (music career)
  • Skills: Painting Level 3, Sculpting Level 7, Guitar Level 5, Charisma Level 2

Before and After:



Harwood's first week under observation was one of interesting twists and turns.   He seems to have decided now that he's an elder that there are a lot of things that he should have already accomplished.  He's changed his wardrobe and got rid of his cane.  He gussied himself up and went to the Laundromat first.


There he briefly visited the grave of Macy Clay, no known relation.  There is a rumor that Macy Clay is the late wife of Harwood but she died in the same fire that took her best friend/twin sister Lacy's life.  The fire that took down Juan Darer's house.  Juan is Harwood's best friend and the two of them caught up with one another at the Salon where Juan works.  A long the way Harwood talked with several Twinbrook females to find out their signs and if they were single.  He seems to be looking for something.  

One moment of hilarity was when Parker Prudence decided to hand one of the paparazzi a butt whooping.


Over the course of the week, Harwood worked on his lifetime goals of maxing sculpting, painting and inventing.  Every night before he crawled into bed, he made a stop at the junkyard to pick up some scrap.


Before the weekend started, he found one female that he took a particular interest in - Charmaine Mann.  They met outside the Red Rendezvous.  Over the course of the next couple of days, he wooed Miss Mann in unconventional places.  Her current career path as a paparazzi meaning that he had to pursue her as she wouldn't take time away from work to go on a date.




Finally outside Juan Darer's barn, Mr. Clay got down to one knee and asked Charmaine to be his wife.  She gladly accepted his proposal.  They ended the night with the official words being spoken that made Charmaine Mann, Paparazzi into Charmaine Clay, wife.



Charmaine Clay neé Mann, 14 days from Elder
  • Eco-Friendly, Good Sense of Humor, Charismatic, Friendly, Excitable
  • LTW: Fashion Phenomenon (to be changed)
  • Career: Unemployed (for now)
  • Skills: Level 8 Photography


That weekend was one of joy for the Clays.  They took no time to start working on a family due to Harwood's advanced age.  


Harwood did everything he could to keep his wife happy.  He massaged away her aches.  He spoke with their growing nooboo.  Both of them wished for a boy, so Charmaine made sure to have an apple or twelve.


Week 2, Day 1 5: 32 AM - There was screaming from inside the Clay house.   Harwood was freaking out as a labor pain hit Charmaine that contorted her features.  After a moment's notice, they were able to be influenced mentally to go to the hospital.


By midday, the Clays brought home the newest family member.  A little suggestion goes a long way and finally our purpose may begin.  Welcome Alpha Clay to the program.   You have much work ahead of you.

Welcome Harwood, Charmaine, and nooboo Alpha to Side Project #14476! (It's nice to know someone is keeping track.) I hope little Alpha has Charmaine's awesome hair colour.

Welcome Alpha! I love how you chose an elder to marry an NPC! I think it's very smart.
