[NEWS] Stratics Campfire Giveaway

Never owned a campfire in-game?
Want one?

Avyi in this thread had the excellent idea of giving away a campfire to whomever answered her question correctly. Inspired by the game she created, Stratics is very happy to offer up to EA-Landers and TSOers a Stratics Campfire Giveaway for the US Memorial Day weekend.

The giveaway will run through Monday May 26, 8pm CST.
To participate, keep an eye on this thread in The Big Tent Stratics forum and be the first to respond with an accurate answer to the trivia question inside.

Winners will be private messaged in order to arrange for a time to meet in-game for prize collection.

If you do not wish to take possession of a campfire, please refrain from making a public guess. Instead, send a private message to Aster (that's me) stating that you don't want to play, but you do want to know if your answer is correct.

Good luck!

Thanks, Avyi :)

Seems like #2 must be a hard one. If no one answers by afternoon, we'll leave #2 open and move on to #3.

No winners yet for number 2 (not even the people who sent in a pm :p), so here is number 3:

[3] If you are looking at a "charisma panel," what are you doing in-game?
 
G

GRINCH

Guest
I believe you are doing code when looking at a "charisma panel", i have searched and there is no object in the sims online named that.

if your not doing code then it would be band object or pizza. But my best guess is code.

If you are looking at a Charisma panel, you are playing Pizza!rolleyes:

ha ha, i dont know why i put code, it doesnt use charisma. But i have already mentioned pizza or band object. it has to do with those even though nothing in them is named "charisma panel". That must be a name made up by players in the game. I have always seen the pizza have "charisma station". not panel.

I am gonna take a guess on the month here...but I know it was the summer of 2004 when Tigger left. I remember the day when she logged into TC and announced it. It was a sad day. Guessing August of 2004.

I had made a couple of siggies memorializing Tigger when she announced her departure. According to the timestamps on those images, Cherri Bear would be correct.

Cherri Bear, you are correct. As near as I can figure, Tigger's last day with EA was August 20, 2004. Send me a pm about when we can get together to settle your campfire on you in-game :)

No one yet has given the correct answer outloud to number 3 ... but several people have sent the correct answer in over pm.

[4] You as a sim have a bat that never needs feeding at home for a pet and a fish you can't sell back for a pet at work. Explain how this is possible.

a dead fish in aquarium, a dead cocatiel hanging from its perch,

There are 2 things i can think of for the bat.
1. bat wallpaper on your walls
2. bat wings you buy in clothing accesories.

The fish thing you get working at the robot factory i believe when you either get the wrong tool or it gives you the wrong tool. I never worked there but I have heard about it.

Both answers to number 4 have aspects of the total winning answer ... but neither has the whole package so far.

A dead bird on your property = bat

A fish you get instead of a tool at the robot factory= fish

Grinch, you are correct! PM me about getting your campfire(s) ... it is quite possible there is a "not currently in game" bonus prize that might be yours, too.

No one yet has answered correctly the Charisma Panel question.

[5] Describe in accurate detail how to make your sim swim with a hat on. Bonus prize for a picture.

This question is so easy, or I don't understand it correctly, lol.

Steps:
1. Buy hat rack.
2. Make swimming pool with ladder.
3. Your sim wears hat from rack. (Wear cheesehead hat)
4. Sim gets in the swimming pool.

I have also seen it with a diving helmet also.

You can also swim with a Blue poombah hat you buy from the accessories rack at stores.

1. Buy a blue poombah hat.
2. Go to a house with a swimming pool.
3. Click on the pool and click "swim here"

When you post a reply there is a little button above your posts that is like a picture of a mountain and the sun, click on that and you can paste the image url in OR just put the URL between two [image] [/image] tags

Aster

Grinch and Cyria, you are both correct. For Cyria's instructions, don't forget to have your sim change into a swimsuit before putting on a hat. Please send me a pm if you'd like to be rewarded for your efforts.

We've gone a little past Memorial Day, but I'm glad people have enjoyed playing the Campfire Giveaway. The last question in this giveaway is;

[6] On a regular lot (not one that gave all actions/interactions to the user), what is the minimum number of skill points in each applicable skill that my sim would need to initiate the following actions/interactions?


*Backflip*
*Sexy Wiggle*
*Make Smoothie*
*File Nails*
*Make Carnivorous Vines*

Raisin

7 Body = *Backflip*
4 Charisma = *Sexy Wiggle*
20 Cooking, 20 Creativity = *Make Smoothie*
2 Logic = *File Nails*
18 Creativity, 18 Mech = *Make Carnivorous Vines*

Aster

Guest
You are correct, Raisin :)
Please send me a pm if you would like to collect your campfire.

Thanks for playing, everybody!
