[Locked] 10 Years - $10 Million

Oh yeah, mine has definitely changed. But I haven't sat down and thought about it all yet. I'm too busy trying to keep everyone's else's over-thinking minds at ease.

Alright. So it means I can keep up with the current research without any problems, but I can't publish any findings on my own. Damn, all those Nobel level papers have to wait. Poor world.

On the companion, is she restricted into the basement just like me? Or she's free to leave or do whatever else she wants? I'll ignore the issue of her rights if she is restricted, but it also affects the choice because if she is not free, then the personality issue is less of a problem. Confine someone together with you for 10 damn years, and chances are you will end up loving each other or at the very least, come up with a way to live together.

On the hygiene, I take it as fancy as I can possibly come up with.

Oh neat, then workouts are possible with just the basic stuff. No need for a special room in that case.

The companion is restricted, except for the celebrity, who will be away from you for 3 days a week.

Gonna do your workout with cans of food and couch pillows? lol

Okay, if she is restricted then for all intents and purposes she's a prison mate. An attractive one at that.

Things like push-ups etc require no tools, just space. Oh yeah, that basement is spacy enough right? For me to run around randomly at least.

Assuming complete neutrality, my choice will be this. I'll take 5 mil for reestablishing myself when the 10 years is up.

Food
-Full Kitchen, 6 (I like my food, obv)

Entertainment
-Library, 4 (Time to actually sit down and study everything)
-Music, 4 (A week without Viena? Madness)

Health
-Med care, 2 (This shit better be good)

Companionship
-"Stunningly attractive", 18 (rofl)

Other
-Gun, 1 (Actually knife from the kitchen works too, but this is the best for the extra point)

35 points.

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]"Best friend or significant other" = 13 points.

"18 year-old" = 18 points.

Hmm, I personally think this needs to change. A 5 point difference is too much; a significant other will have sex with you and will have a personality to boot. They should be worth more than the 18 year-old. With that option being there, what's the point of an 18-year old option? Just imagine that you do have an SO and you'd be stupid to pick anything but it.

[color=#f660ab]I did consider this, but I think it's a question of, do you want someone who will have sex with you? Do you want someone who will be your companion, like your brother or your best friend? Do you want someone that you have a crush on that's your friend but not quite your significant other? Do you want your wife/husband? Are you lucky enough to have any of the latter ones?

So in my mind, the cost of having a sex slave outweighs the cost of some other type of person, because they may or may not be someone that will have sex with you.

And some people would rather have a sexy 18 yr old than their SO, which is a whole other story, lol.

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]We're talking about an imaginative scenario here - it's not too far of a stretch to imagine that the person who is getting locked away in the basement has a SO as well. So basically I'm saying that whilst the person doesn't have a SO irl, they can easily have one in this game.

The SO and best-friend option should be split. Best Friend being at 13 fits. They provide companionship, then the 18 year-old provides sex. The SO provides both. So... that should really be 20.

[color=#f660ab]I hear you, I do. But again, I think people are trying way too hard to over-complicate the game. I'm not going to differentiate between best friend and SO. There's too many variables already involved in choosing best friend or SO that can make the value higher or lower, depending on what you value more.

And everyone is really supposed to be basing their decisions on what's true to life, not dreaming up a sudden SO that they don't actually have. If someone walked up to you today, you would seriously have to evaluate who you want in that basement with you. Your mum? Your brother? Your best friend from uni? Katy Perry? Or a sex bunny? That's what makes the game fun, is having to sacrifice some things for other things based on your true life feelings and situations.

In any event, I chose 13 for that one and that's where it's staying. I would appreciate if everyone just works within the parameters I've set, instead of trying to dissect every little bit.

Thanks for everyone's input though, I'm totally listening to everyone. And from there I'm just making choices.

this is a scenario you can find almost every day on 4chan. mostly mady by those people. SO just think about the significant other option again now.

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]If that's what you think, fine. In reality, the difference between all three is quite significant. It's not really an over-complication - this isn't like publishing or internet usage. So, let me guess... in your new choices for the game, you chose the SO option?

[color=#f660ab]I understand your point. And I think I have defended as far as I can my decision. So that's the rub.

I haven't made any new choices yet, like I said to PumpJack. Would I choose calus? 13 points is a lot of points. Who knows... : P

And it would be nice if you could respect my choice with my reasoning, as I do think it's reasonable, instead of insinuating that I am not rooted in "reality".

You brat <3

Gun at 1 is really generous.

Oh yeah, the BF/SO option, that person is restricted too, no? If no, that's having a middleman, which is great. If yes, then that's also quite great.

And ofc both can be very bad.

On that note, I should probably also reiterate that I did not come up with this game, I found it on imgur. And so far the only things I have tweaked was adding celebrity and adding best friend/so.

So just...don't try to logic everything guys, it's just a game. It's ok if things don't make perfect sense or aren't perfectly fair. Life isn't fair. So just suck it up and make do with what's there. Goodness.



Yes, they are restricted. The only companion not restricted is the celebrity, who will be gone for 3 days out of the week.

I swear I already said this...

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]Rrrrrrrrrrrr.

Lol sorry. I didn't read posts other than the first one and yours that answers to my questions.

So yeah, my choice is as the last page. The only change I can think of is SO + drinks instead of 18 yo attractive stranger-partner. Since I assumed neutrality, I went with the latter.

If the girl used my gun, rofl that's one hell of a funny death.

Kitchen - 6
Vidya - 4 -10
TV - 7 -17
Doctors - 3 -20
Skylight - 2 -22
Hygiene products- 3 -25
Workout room - 5 -30

on to fun 10 years

[color=#f660ab]-scratches behind your ear- Relax, onii-chan. Think about your delicious sex bunny, lol.

Food - Full Kitchen (6)

yeah I wanna experiment with thingies

Entertainment - Music (4) Library (4) Desktop(6)

Music - Prog Rock all day ftw
Library - by itself it could be a pleasant 10 years just reading stuff
Desktop - for writing stuff? maybe tons of programming hours by the way too..

Health : Medical Care (2) Sunlight (2)

That's enough I guess, I don't need extensive workout equipment

And the sunlight too, I love sunlights

Hobbies : Workshop (6)

being an amateur inventor with this might made things more busy for 10 years

30 points...

Hmm... Let's see..

Gourmet food - 9p (since I'm a terrible cook and this seems the next healthiest choice)
Movies/TV shows - 4p (this does include anime, right?)
Games - 4p
Computer - 6p
and since I only have 7 points left after this,
Doctor - 2p (just in case)
Skylight - 2p
Hygiene package - 3p

No SO, so sadly not even a need to use points there. The 18 year old is definitely tempting, but lack of points hurts even more here. No pregnancy is a bit of a deal-breaker as well.

question though, what kind of programs that came up with the computer...is it just the desktop + OS, or can we use all kinds of programs (including games) just without the internet connection? if that's so, the desktop by itself could be an overpowered tool for me~

workshops and the library could also be really overpowered, as people could made virtually everything when they could learn things from the library reference books~
