Household E,
Winter 1

2. -… annd Welcome back to Instant City, a BaMC Challenge the Winter edition… and we‘re at Household E, where last time
we visited the Far East, learned how to fish and prove that Servos can be waterproof if they go for a career in oceanography,
if you don‘t see them. So, are you excited for what new adventures will wait for them this time?!-
‚ *still switched off*‘
-… fair enough, I guess… -

3. -… Okay, let‘s kick it off with paying the rent Monday, before the car pool for work arrives…-

4. -… and then we start the day with the all – too well known ‚Should I eat stinky fish?‘ –chance card… -

5. -… and we eat it, eat it, eat it…. And the fish was of course bad, and we loose some enthusiasm for sport because we had to
lay low etc… and of course that doesn‘t make any sense for servos and I don‘t care anymore, trallala..-

6. -… and soon our freshly promoted Protectors of Whales come home… -

7. -… followed by our freshly promoted Whale trackers… -

8. -… and a chance card again for the Underwater demolitionists, which we also had last time, again it‘s about a treasure
hidden behind rocks, and E-4 has to decide whether to use C-4 or the stronger dynamite to push the rocks aside… -

9. -… and this time, we use C4, - a portion of it is applied to the rocks , the rocks break apart, and Serva E-4 and the group can
salvage the entire treasure. Together with her daily salary, Serva E-4 receives a Bonus of 500 Simoleons! … also, since
Oceanography is great for several promotions per day, both the whale trackers and the protectors of whales will now go to
work once more… -

10. -… and then the former whale trackers now promoted Deep Sea Fishermen come home… and go to work once more… -

11. - …. And finally, starting with Serva E-3, the first Servo topping Oceanography returns home… -

12. -… Servo E-1 ist the next… apparently, Poseidon doesn‘t have to left, but two right hands… so right now we have 2 right
hands of Poseidon, 4 Deep Sea Fishermen and 2 marine biologists… -
‚Wow, it‘s like watching paint dry here… or staring at the mail post for hours… are you even trying?‘
- I already said, this winter was a miss without a Business district, so let it go…-

13. -…okay, so on Tuesday it‘s another Chance card for the Fishermen: Serva E-2 and a colleague have an insect collection at
work. Serva E-2 notices, that her colleague has labeled some of its insects wrong. Should she tell him or correct the mistake
herself?... Ah yes, we had that one before too… last time we corrected the mistake (and the colleague died because of a
scorpions functional poison gland or whatever I made up then), so we try the other choice for a change…-

14. Serva E-2 colleague is really grateful, that Serva E-2 has showed him the mistake. He made the mistake, because he didn‘t
sleep well due to a severe case of bed bugs. He and Serva E-2 become friends, and Serva E-2 accompanies her colleague
home… wait, she accompanies him to his home, or what? Nah it‘s the obligatory stalker solution… *yawn* -

15. -… and now the real Deep Sea Fishermen Card: Five miles away from the next coast, Servo E-3 is fishing for yellow fin tuna,
as suddenly the net gets stuck. Normally, one of the younger Sailors would take care of that, but Servo E-3 thinks, that a
short dive in the sea would be fun . He changes - in a Deep Sea Suit hopefully – and jumps into water. On his way down, a
strange fish is starting to follow him. Suddenly the fish talks to him in a blubbering voice and tells him of the times, when the
fishes swam in the sea without ear of being caught by Sims. He implores Servo E-3, to let him and his brothers be. Should
Servo E-3 take this plea seriously and stop fishing, or catch this zoological miracle of a talking fish? –
‘ Sure, why not – it’s not like I like fish anyway – in a culinary sense…’

16. -… The talking fish persuades Servo E-3 to stop fishing. As his boss ask of his sudden change of mind, Servo E-3 tries to
explain, what feelings the fish has stirred up in him. The boss is moved and promotes Servo E-3 to Protector of Whales. Now
Servo E-3 doesn’t have to hunt the fishes anymore, but can protect them… okay, first: Whales aren‘t fishes, second – since
when is protector of whales an actual job in a fishing company?... Not that I wouldn‘t mind if that were true….-

17. -… anyway, Servo E-3 gets promoted – and back to work with … oh yeah, right, we have to wait a few minutes, before the
carpool comes back…. Okay, 8 minutes over, go back to work…-

18. -… and then at 7 AM, it‘s time for Poseidons both right hands … -

19. -… and once again, we had the ‚work overtime, should we order pizza or exotic food?‘ –card. So this time, the pizza option
actually worked: Serva E-1 decides to order a bunch of Pizza. Not only everyone is satisfied, but she hits everyone's taste with
the different garnishes . After a few more working hours, Serva E-1 invites one of her Colleagues home… wait, does that
really qualify as a good outcome? -

20. -… in the end, all the Fishermen became whale protectors, then went off to work immediately… -

21. -… then another ‚stinky fish‘ card... and I don‘t even bother anymore what I clicked for the outcome… loose/gain fitness
enthusiasm or whatever… -

22. -… and the next one: During his morning hike Servo E-1 discovers a strange insect. Back at home he finds out, that the bug
is a rare insect and especially rare in this part of the country... Yeah we had that one too… Should Servo E-1 walk the way
back once more and find the Insect himself or call the professional bug pathfinders? – okay, last time we tried finding the
bug ourselves, so lets see how these professionals fare…-

23. - … the professional bug pathfinders find the rare insect, and Servo E-1 gets a membership to a secret lot for her incredible
find… meh… -

24. -… and another fish card… -

25. -… and then the 2 last newly promoted Whale trackers were sent to work once more… -

26. - … and came back as Deep Sea Fisherman.. Okay, so everybody should be toppped by tomorrow - yay… -

27. -… and now the Whale Tracker Chance Card: During the last government session, a new bill was proposed, that allows
drilling for Oil in certain parts of the ocean. Those drillings however would destroy the mating places of the whales. Servo E-
4‘s office isn‘t allowed, to actively fight any newly proposed bills, but Servo E-4 still doesn‘t want this bill to pass through. He
could bribe a few Sims to make them vote against the bill, but is that really the best solution?... You know, normally I would
immediately put my money on doing nothing, because bribing is bad… but again the military chance cards changed my mind
about this being such a clear-cut solution… hmmm, what to do, what to do…-

28. -… okay, so I still went for the honest route: Servo E-4 doesn‘t want to do anything illegal, just to avoid changes in the
mating behavior of whales… well, has anybody asked the whales if they want changes or even gives a… about their
opinions? Oh anyway… Instead he calls several voters and tells them about the consequences such a bill would mean to the
whales. The Outcome of the voting for the bill is not what many people thought… and the bill is ultimately rejected! Servo E-
4 receives 8000 Simoleons for his good work! –

29. -… and another few ‚Poseidons‘ right hands get promoted that day… seriously, how many right hands does this guy have?
And where is his left one? Wait I know – Poseidon has a hook for a left hand! Arrrh! – I‘m Poseidon, scourge of the seven
seas, Arrh!...yeah, I‘m soo creative… -

30. -… okay, so the constant Platinum Aspiration – Servos deactivate while not at work, Platin doesn‘t go down during work =
constant – eventually lead to another Lifetime perk – let‘s go with more money for your work… -

31. -… okay, our ex-whale-tracker-then-deep-sea-fishermen-now-protector-of-whales servos now only need their third
promotion today, and… -

32. -… after the insect collection card has appeared once more… -

33. -… and we end up with another stalker… -

34. -… and after the ‚Pizza or Exotic Food‘-Card… -

35. -… which also ends with a Stalker… seriously, guys, don‘t you have a hom…?.. oh yeah right, Sim Limbo… -

36. -… we now have the entire household at the top of Oceanography !– and not a day too late, because it‘s Thursday, and the
rest of the week Poseidon obviously doesn‘t need a right hand… -

37. -… just pay the bills once more… -

38. -… and then it‘s just waiting for Spring… aww, wasn‘t this household exciting? All these Chance cards, all this standing
around at the mailbox all this… … … okay, I‘ve got nothing… see you next time again, anyway? Pretty please???-
