Forum:The Dominate Game

Inspired by AltHistory Wiki's Map Game Concept

Welcome to Dominate, a game of survival that revolves around the concept of, well, dominating all other players.

The basic idea is that you play as a person living in a certain world, using money, alliances, crime and everything else you think of to ensure the survival of yourself or your family lineage. This is a text game, though, so don't worry about actually creating the person in-game.

THE GAME
Setting: Sunset Valley

Day 0 - Purchasing houses
'''Refer to list of empty Sunset Valley lots to purchase your house. Once all players have bought their houses, the map will be created.'''


 * Jason Bourne: Jason purchases Shotgun Style (furnished) for §16,271, leaving him with §3,729. He chooses not to take a loan from the Bank.
 * Claude-Achille Lorraine: CA purchases The Monotone (furnished) for §16,230, leaving him with §3,770. He chooses not to take a loan from the Bank.
 * Kana Alabaster: Kana purchases Prefabulous (furnished) for §12,675, leaving her with §7,325. She also isn't taking loan from the Bank (she does not care about money).
 * Evelina Dattilo: Evelina purchases Unabridged (furnished) then her rich parents give her more money


 * MOD: For first Sims, parents may not assist your Sim in any way whatsoever. If you wish to buy a house that is not within your budget, you must take a loan from the bank. The Bank will expect completion of payments in instalments of §10,000 every four days. Therefore, payments will be completed in 59 days. If you fail to initiate payments in four days time, the price of the loan will be increased by 1.5. You can decrease this amount by declaring that a portion of the house price was covered by your own funds (you must say how much you have payed as well.) You may at this point choose another house if you think that you will be unable to cover the loan.

Day 1
NEW MOON — 7 DAYS REMAIN IN SUMMER

Let the games begin!


 * Claude-Achille: CA joins the Science career as a Test Subject with a pay of §44/hr. He shows up for his first day of work immediately after he registers. He decides to socialise during the lunch break in the hope of meeting some friends. He earns §242.
 * RNG: 8. CA meets a few friends at work. He has yet to remember their names, though!
 * Jason: Jason joins the Military career track as a Latrine Cleaner with a pay of §40/hr. Because of his sickness he gets an unpaid day off.
 * Kana: Kana joins the Alchemist profession and takes a class in Alchemy. She plants her lv. 1 Alchemy plants in the garden, and then goes to the Supernatural Consignment Store to level up her Alchemy skill a bit more. She reaches level 4, then returns home and goes back to sleep.
 * RNG: 10. Kana has a wonderful dream which inspires her. She wakes up the next day feeling purposeful with fresh ideas on how to proceed with her career.

Day 2
WAXING CRESCENT — 6 DAYS REMAIN IN SUMMER

Kana: She wakes up, waters the plants in her garden, and goes again to the alchemy store to level up her alchemy skill to level 9. She goes back home to harvest the produce, and gains 1 in Gardening skill as well as the initial gardening plants, and plants them, too. Then goes back again to the alchemy store and goes up to Level 10 of the skill, just before going to sleep.
 * RNG: 4. Oh dear. When Kana wakes up the next morning, she finds that two of her plants have died for some reason. Oh well, no matter.
 * COMMENT: I find it somewhat a bit unnatural to jump from level 4 to level 10 in a single day, but I'll leave that for WikiBuilder to judge.

Jason: Jason is not sick anymore. He wants to impress the boss by inviting him over. He cooks some salmon and he earns 3 cooking skills. He hopes the boss gives him a bonus for the beautiful dinner. Or maybe it's a huge disaster?
 * RNG: 8. Jason's cooking has paid off! The boss decides to reward him for the meal and gives him a little bonus. Jason earns half of the pay that he missed yesterday.

CA: CA decides to go to the pool for a little swim after a hard day at work (being a test subject hardly is a cakewalk) to fit in some exercise and a bit of relaxation into his day before going home and doing some research. He's not really that great at swimming though.
 * RNG: 5. CA gets into a little bit of trouble involving the pool pump, but other than that everything is fine. He goes home, does his research and goes to bed without further incident.

Day 3
WAXING GIBBOUS — 5 DAYS REMAIN IN SUMMER

CA: CA decides to take a risk and perform an unauthorised experiment. He's hoping that, with any luck, he'll manage to get some exciting results and then he'll get a hefty pay rise! Jason: Jason is walking in the city and his eye has fallen on a golden ring. He picks it up and goes to a expert. He hopes it's a golden ring that can make him rich. Or it's just fake. Or maybe even stolen. He takes the risk....
 * RNG: 10. What luck! The experiment is a jaw-dropping success! CA is immediately promoted and given a pay rise when he shows the results to his boss!
 * RNG: 4. It turns out to be a 4 karat ring (tl;dr: has some gold but basically fake), so the ring was much less valuable than what it seemed like. While not completely worthless, it ended up not generating any profit after expert fee was considered.

Kana: Kana puts the dead plants in the trashcan, tends garden, harvest the other plants, and goes in the library to read a book or two about gardening skill. She ends up reaching level 6 in it. Then she goes home to sleep.
 * RNG: 5. Rushing through weeding process means the weeds came back sooner than usual.

Day 4
FULL MOON — 4 DAYS REMAIN IN SUMMER

CA: CA begins his first day of work as a Lab Assistant! He now earns §322 a day! He also got a bonus of §644 from his promotion. He helps his head scientist do an experiment involving chemicals which could be somewhat explosive...hmm. Better be careful. That night he transforms and decides to go out hunting. BANK WARNING TO EVELINA DATTILO: Dear Miss Dattilo, so far you have failed to pay your first instalment of §10,000. If you do not pay up by the end of today, your loan price will be multiplied by a factor of 1.5.
 * RNG: 7. Phew. The chemicals didn't explode. Thank goodness. CA writes the results down but the calculations just end up producing more questions. Oh well.
 * RNG: 3. CA didn't find anything tonight. He was almost caught by some late-nighters walking around town. Luckily, they didn't spot him.

Evelina: Evelina finally pays the $10,000 and gets a job as a painter then she finally lets her hair down and wears glasses

Kana: She promptly weeds the plants, then build a fence in the backyard. She sells some of the landscaping plants so she can also buy an alchemy station. Jason: Jason is training on the bootcamp, he's tired and goes to sleep. He wakes up. Oh no... The enemies! And they have guns! Jason gets a gun and he helps the other soldiers to defend the base.
 * RNG: 7. Kana gets a nice §150 in total for the plants she sells. She was pretty thorough this time, so the weeds won't be coming back anytime soon.
 * MOD: Also, just out of curiosity, what is a 'recintion'?
 * MOD: 8. Enemies are successfully driven back, and Jason has done a fairly good job in holding his own. His superiors start to take note of him, and gives him a small raise of §2/hr.

Day 5
WANING GIBBOUS — 3 DAYS LEFT IN SUMMER

Jason: Jason earned some money for his good work and goes home. He gives the flowers some water and goes the sleep. Evelina Evelina goes to her job as a painter then on her break, she meets up with her parents who just had their 18th child for lunch
 * RNG: 4. Neighbors host a loud nighttime party, causing Jason to lose around 2 hours of sleep.
 * RNG: 7. Painting process has gone fairly well, and Evelina grows more experienced in painting skill, enough to have 5 points (assuming no previous experience). All the paintings produced in the day has a total base value of §300.

Day 6
WANING CRESCENT — 2 DAYS LEFT IN SUMMER

Jason: After some coffee. Jason goes to a football match between FC Llama and Llama FC. Two big rivals. He hopes on a friendly match and not a whole stadium fight. It's risky because it's the decider for promotion to the first division.
 * RNG: 10. The match is completely friendly, and nothing bad happens at all. It even turns out that his favourite team of the two won! Jason goes home feeling satisfied.

CA: CA decides to talk to Jamie Jolina, one of the people he hangs out with during lunch breaks. Ask her out, maybe?
 * RNG: 10. Well done! Jamie accepts and the two go to the local bistro for dinner. They find that they have a lot of common interests! CA and Jamie become a lot more intimate than before. The two then part ways, agreeing to definitely have a second date sometime. CA goes home feeling ecstatic!

Evelina: Evelina meets this guy named Christopher Steel. They go on a date and at the date she runs into her maternal grandparents, Mary-Ann and Tom.
 * RNG: 6. The date was okay. Relatively uneventful though.

Day 7
NEW MOON — 1 DAY LEFT IN SUMMER

Pay Update


 * Since Day 2...
 * Claude-Achille has earned §2,094!
 * Jason has earned §1,340!
 * Kana has earned §150.
 * Since Day 4 Evelina has earned §300.

Evelina: Evelina goes on double date with Christopher and her parents, this date turned out to be better then the last and her parents announce that they're having a 21st child? Jason: Jason goes to work, he cleans some latrines, and goes home. First he eats some potatoes because he's hungry and then he opens the mailbox. What? A test?! He has to do a digital test so the General can note some good soldier for promotion in the future.
 * RNG: 7. Again, this date was as uneventful as the last. Hmm...maybe Chris isn't the right man for Evelina? Also, EPICSIMSPLAYER, please note that only mods can decide the outcome of a chance event through RNG's.
 * COMMENT: How can they be having their 21st child so quickly after they have their 18th? And also, why would they want to have so many children?
 * RNG: 9. Jason takes the test, and the test score returns. Jason gets a score high enough to get the general's attention and get himself into a "waiting list" of sorts where field record could get him promoted.

Day 8
Apologies for the lack of activity!

WAXING CRESCENT — 7 DAYS LEFT IN AUTUMN

CA: Claude-Achille goes on a second date with Jamie Jolina. He decides to risk it and asks her if she wants to go steady with him.

 * CA: Decides to take it a step further and asks her to move in.

Jason is a brave army man and he wants to bring the ghost back to the netherworld. It's a huge risk, but if he succeed maybe Agnes will love him.
 * RNG: 10. Jason succeeds magnificently in bringing the ghost to peace and eternal rest in the netherworld! Agnes is extremely grateful to Jason, and begins to open up to him. She even rewards you with §2,000! Nice, and well done!
 * NOTE: Also, if you would like to have an RNG done, please make it obvious, eg. (RNG please).

Day 9
WAXING GIBBOUS — 6 DAYS LEFT IN AUTUMN

CA: Claude-Achille starts to get worried. What if Jamie doesn't like him after he transforms on the full moon? He's unsure as to what extent Jamie likes him...He decides that in order to make himself appear as honest as possible, he must reveal his secret to her tonight. What will happen?
 * RNG: 7. CA transforms in front of Jamie in their room. Jamie says she doesn't mind and that it is what inside that counts. He sighs in relief. Their relationship continues.

 * RNG: 9. Jason survives, and saves all the children in the process! The firemen are shocked and impressed with Jason's bravery. The mayor awards Jason §5,000 for his bravery and a medal as well! The parents of those kids he saved are his biggest fans now! <3
