wow. I've definitely got more learning to do - my best in tests is just under 90k, average is probably 70k, I was about to test another theory but my game CTDed

I'm done for this weekend. Maybe during the week I'll get time to master my party skills so I can go for gold next weekend

I'm done and Dubya Bush is Leader of the Free World! As you can see in the picture below, he's got worries.

Campaign Fundraisers: 834,267 divided by 1,000 equals 834.

Add 521 traits learned equals 1,355.

Acquired 25 NPCs for a multiplier of 2.25.

1,355 times 2.25 equals a final score of 3,048.

Here's a classic moment I doubt many of you have seen: Vita Alto in a swimsuit and playing in the sprinkler.

Great pictures, Pam.

Good job finishing up.

NancyJ · « **Reply #103 on:** April 20, 2010, 01:37:46 PM »

I've been off sick and the site has been down all day

But just came up in time to post my score.

Traits: 419
Campaign Donations: $1,511,963
NPCs: 38

If I've done it right that makes my score:

419+1512 * 2.9 = 5,599(.9)

If we're rounding to the nearest whole number that's 5600 (and Pam's should be 3049 by my reckoning)

My parties went a lot better than I expected, 118,675 was my top score which I didn't think was possible - I guess I had a lot of gate crashers. Guests dying put a bit of a downer on the celebrations in the later weeks but I did get to snap this shot of death getting his groove thing on...

38 NPCs!!! That's amazing. Great job, Nancy. You're right on Pam's score. Have no idea why I didn't round up.

I wanted more but they kept running off before I could catch up to them - one of them literally vanished, twice and when I called him up to invite him over he just appeared at the front door.

Hmm, there is only 15 eligible NPC's on the front page, is there more that were not included?

No you are right but they can be counted more than once. For example you can have more than one maid as long as they have different names.

This is my first time on this site, but I'd like to give it a shot! I love a challenge.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #109 on:** April 24, 2010, 06:53:55 PM »

Sassafras, welcome to the forums and good luck.

AaronJ · « **Reply #110 on:** April 25, 2010, 11:08:58 PM »

I've been lookin at the guide for a while, and been lookin at the challenges, so i thought i give it a go

Count me in

Do the party restrictions only apply to Campaign Fundraisers? Can I have a regular House Party at any time without restrictions?

Yes. Only the Campaign Fundraisers are restricted to Saturday and Sunday.

Ok, I said I was going to practice more to get a better score, but I lied. Once I got to the end of my "test run"... well... I just don't wanna do it again. lol So I'm wondering... is there gonna be a booby prize to this tournament? Because I think I'd totally win that!

And to top it off I really suck at math, so please check and make sure I'm doing this right...

Campaigns: 735,181 = 735.1 +
Traits learned: 366 = 1101.1
NPC's: 32
Total: 2862.86

Nice job on the NPCs, AriaGirl.

AriaGirl77 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 26, 2010, 10:50:45 PM »

Now that I'm looking at the scores, didn't NancyJ get 38 NPC's? If so I think her multiplier should be higher than mine.

There was an issue with Nancy's NPCs that was resolved last week. I asked to see her complete NPC list which she readily supplied. The list actually turned out to be 39. The problem was is that she was counting 7 NPCs from her vacation that were NOT cashiers or a Special Merchant. So, as I said, it's all been resolved and doesn't need to be discussed any further. Her score on the leaderboard is correct.

Sorry, I guess I missed that part.

Pam · « **Reply #118 on:** April 26, 2010, 11:52:48 PM »

Welcome to the Forum, AaronJ. Good luck on ths challenge!

TheCub · « **Reply #119 on:** April 27, 2010, 01:04:00 PM »

That was a lot of fun. Difficult, challenging, and stressful at times, but it was fun. One thing that I love about these challenges is that they force me to play the game in different ways than I normally do. New careers, different traits, lifetime rewards I've never purchased before — no matter how many times I've played this game, there's always something new and different to learn.

I've had very little experience throwing parties, but Ron and Nancy Gipper caught on quickly. Ron was quite successful, earning §1,218,000 at campaign parties, learning 499 traits, and becoming best friends with 37 NPCs, for a total score of 4893.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #120 on:** April 27, 2010, 01:08:51 PM »

Well done, TheCub.

Delgar · « **Reply #121 on:** April 29, 2010, 09:50:33 AM »

Well I've done 2 challenges so I might as well try this one. I'm not sure how well I'll do at this one as the political career is really foreign to me. But it's worth a shot.

Zylphe · « **Reply #122 on:** April 29, 2010, 12:23:58 PM »

Hmm.

I'm not sure how well I'll do on this one, but I'd like to sign up.

Thoughtfairy · « **Reply #123 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:12:52 PM »

I would like to take part in this one - as a sane recovery from the baby boomer challenge!
Please add me to the leaderboard
