RATATOSKR

[ You're led through the TV into a...2-D looking world! You're in the middle of a giant-but-empty house, although don't worry! If you wander outside, you'll see that there's conveniently a huge furniture emporium next door.

You also might notice that, over to your far right, there's a counter that starts off with the words $50,000. No matter where you move, it moves accordingly so that it's always the same distance away.

While you guys are figuring all this out, Game Freak's voice can be heard from...somewhere:

I'm a little new to this, so let's start out with something kinda basic! Everyone likes decorating simulated houses, right? Right!
inbeta: (oh an interesting person.)

RULES.

[personal profile] inbeta 2014-04-05 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
▶ This is a "design-your-house"/interior decorating sort of game!

▶ There will be 2 rounds: the designing round (from 2-4pm PST) and the showcase round (from 4-5pm PST).

▶ You have $50,000 in order to buy furniture to decorate your house, which can be spent however you wish! If you want 10 of one $5,000 item, knock yourself out, or if you want 1 $45,000 item and one $5,000 item, that's cool too.

▶ Use the pricing chart here for looking at the furniture available and how much it costs! If you'd like to see pictures of each item, I suggest using the animal crossing wiki here (or even google image search).

▶ THERE IS NO HAGGLING. You can't sleep with the owner to get a $30,000 piece for $3,000 or barter items down a few thousand; you've got to pay the sticker price for anything you buy.

▶ Also, skills are off, although this shouldn't really affect much! She just doesn't want people cheating by conjuring furniture out of thin air.

▶ There are 3 ways to win! 1. Have one of the top three HHA scores (as per my algorithm), 2. Win the crowd vote of favorite/most representative of team house, and 3. Have the most pieces of furniture from a RNG-decided set.

▶ The teams are also encouraged to make the houses their own - not only will they receive slight boosts in HHA points if they make their house "reflect" their team by her standards, but other teams are also encouraged to consider how well the house represents the team when deciding how to rank the others! So keep that in mind.

▶ If you have any questions (ic or ooc), please ask them here!

[ You've got $50,000 and a giant empty house; what do you want to fill it with?

Also, you might notice that there's an otter in a red suit skulking around outside...wonder what that's about.

His attention is caught by the waving, so he'll be waiting by the door expectantly should you choose to open it.

I suppose I might as well...until it is time for me to grade the houses, I have nothing to do.

I might be able to part with a few pointers, if you ask nicely.

I would absolutely love to hear you opinion. Especially from such a dapper man. If you don't mind, please?

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] inbeta 2014-04-05 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, since you asked so nicely, I suppose I can share a little...

We like to see a well put-together room. Matching furniture, colors, the whole shebang. Completing an entire matching set or series of furniture will, of course, up your score as well. We have also been instructed to consider how well the house reflects your team.

And, as a piece of advice....please do not take my mistress's cue on organizing. Messy rooms are not attractive.
thevoidsdarkhorse: (Well lets see....)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] thevoidsdarkhorse 2014-04-05 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooo, is that so? I think I can do that. There has been one set that would match our own dorm pretty well.

I suppose most peeps don't. I'll just have to avoid the piles.

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] inbeta 2014-04-05 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That is for the best. We will have to deduct points if your house is too messy for our standards, after all.
thevoidsdarkhorse: (Sup bitches~)
