The Alpha Legacy! one.point.oh
May. 26th, 2010 12:17 amAlright, so... it's time for a new legacy. This one is going to be a bit different from my last. First of all, it's going to be a quasi-alphabetacy. Quasi because the only rules I'm really taking from it are that each generation will be named for their respective letter of the alphabet (which means 26 generations in all if I manage to finish and that's only slightly crazy, right?) and that there are to be a minimum of three children born in each generation. Also, there's the typical legacy rule of starting on an empty 5x5 lot with absolutely no money cheats (or hacks to make life somehow easier; of course there are a few gameplay-related ones I'm keeping in but they aren't really cheat-y). And finally, I'm attempting to make things a bit more interesting by throwing in these mini-challenges throughout; they were actually what inspired me to start this in the first place. Though I probably won't start using them until a couple of Sim-weeks in because the initial search for a spouse and scrounging for money is entertaining/stressful enough in itself, I think. But apart from those few restrictions, as last time, I'm really not keeping score or trying to accomplish much because I'm not anal enough to keep track of points and all. So... I think that's it. Onward?
P.S. I've got a nearly-finished poem in the works right now so expect that in the next few days. I just have to tweak it a bit more than read it about three dozen times until I can no longer find anything else to nitpick over. It'll actually be my first completed poem this year; my last one was in mid-November. Also, I've got some vague notion of going through my several half-baked ideas in the near future and deciding what's salvageable and what's not. They've been collecting virtual dust on my hard drive long enough at this point... so we'll see if any of them actually go anywhere.
( Tally ho! )
