Shouldn't the challenge end at 11:59 PM Monday Week 15 Day2? That would be 14 full weeks X 7 days per week = 98 days + 2 more days in Week 15 = 100 days.

Well, maybe. But, there's no sense in bringing that up now. Just end the challenge at the exact time as listed in the rules and all is fine.

I think the nectar aging up at exactly midnight also had something to do with the ending time of the challenge.

True, but it is something that I think should be set in stone for future 100 day challenges, because technically if you end it at the start of the 100th day, it isn't a 100 day challenge, but a 99 day challenge. But I'm not trying to start an argument, just pointing something out. You make the rules Metro, and we obviously have to follow them

Good point, but again, for future challenges, it could be debatable.

That's exactly what it was, but it would appear I was a day off. Oh, well. I will get it right in the future.

Hey, as long as everybody plays the same number of days, there shouldn't be any change in the final outcome.

Smaller scores, but it should be across the board. I am glad this one had that mistake. 99 days was already way too long. Glad to see BBII will only be 50!

True, smaller scores but the placement of people should be no different. Besides, what were you going to do in that one extra day, make more batches of nectar? I don't see how that late in the game a couple thousand simoleans could make a difference.

Ok, just got through a whole sim week in an hour, I am now at week seven! I will be glad when its over. Metro please say there are no more challenges with nectar making in!

Money talks. PM Carl for my address.

Seriously, there won't be one as the main focus that's for sure. Not this year. I am considering a revamped Max Skills Challenge to include all skills — vanilla and World Adventures (and maybe Ambitions). But, at least there the goal would be just maxing the skill and knocking out the skill Challenges and then you'd move on to the next skill.

I have roughly $400 of nectar I received from a France adventure. Can I sell that to count towards my total or must I drink/dispose of it?

This same issue came up when the challenge first started. You have to drink it or dispose of it. Only nectar your Sim makes can be counted in your score.

I got $750 worth, it tasted ok though it was old.

I just upgraded my storage racks to the expensive ones, it took a few days! For my lack of grape using, most of them died out, but they are regaining again now.

I think I'm kinda late on this one, but I'd like to sign up.

It looks like there are about two weeks left and I should have time to finish, unless something unexpected happens.

You are a little late to the party, but as they say — the more the merrier. I will be issuing a 2-week notice tomorrow. Good luck, Zylphe.

Sorry but i am dropping out of the tournament. Don't have the will to continue after my game shut down unexpectedly 4 hours after my last save, making me go from week 4 back to halfway through week one.

Oh, nasty luck. Sorry to hear about that, danny. Let me know if you change your mind. I have no problem with you picking up from where you left off. Make to sure to save often to alleviate future mishaps.

dannyr783 · « **Reply #419 on:** March 20, 2010, 05:39:18 PM »

Alright. Maybe in a few days, a but burned out about that right now though.

tiffieleigh · « **Reply #420 on:** March 20, 2010, 08:51:31 PM »

I've never made nectar but I will give this one a try. I am starting tonight. Thanks

2-WEEK NOTICE!!!

This challenge officially concludes in 2 weeks, April 4th. I will not accept any posted results with a post date of April 5th or later, so please do not take chances and wait until the last minute to post your results. Good luck to everyone finishing up.

My final score is $287, 453. My sims only made it to Week 7, day 7. I have to stop now, as my grandfather has just passed away and I will never finish by the deadline.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #423 on:** March 21, 2010, 08:41:03 AM »

simfulicious, my thoughts are with you and your family today.

Thank you very much Metro, it is deeply appreciated.
