Round I

"After School is Over"
-Supertramp

SimCity High School is hosting an annual, city-wide talent show.
The band bus (the same one that snatched you from the street) dumps you and your band mates off in the parking lot, giving you two options:
1) I Ran, like a Flock of Seagulls
or
2) Take a chance, swallow your pride and Rock You Like a Hurricane as Scorpins once did.

Rules for Round I:
-The backround must be like a stage at a school.
-No costumes are needed, this is just day two.
Pictures:
2 pictures of the full band playing at the talent show.
1 picture of the lead singer playing at the show.
1 picture of another band member.

Storyline:
'Storyline' must be at least 8 sentences about the event.

Oooh, Pux! I'm torn! This is my kinda style... but will I have enough time? I will get back to you, just have to go brainstorm. Also, I don't have photoshop (and I don't plan on spending $600 or more on it to soon) do you know of a similar free program? Or does anyone else? I want to do this, but I don't know if I can edit the photos or not. I will go make the band members now!

x-tashi-x, You could use GIMP. That's what I use.

#11 Old 9th Mar 2009 at 3:37 AM
craziidaisii: Ah, thank you!
OK, and another question. When you say "bass" can we just use a maxis electric guitar with a recolour? Because the maxis "bass" is strange to me, it's not what I am familiar with. I mean the one that's basically an electric guitar but low, with four strings and a long neck.

x-tashi-x, You are giving up your judging spot? :P
To answer your questions, GIMP or Paint.net will work great.
Bass is SimLand is only another guitar, but different color.

Now, I explained the reason I haven't got my flyer/songlist right now in a PM. I hope you don't mind! Oh, and the band name. I tried to be creative, but I get the feeling there is a band in RL called it.

Lead Singer: Cassie Beckett
Band Name: Famous Last Words
3 Band members names: Ashton Saporta: Drums. Kellie Lautner: Bass. Ryder McCoy: Guitar.
Genre: Alternative/Punk Rock.

I want to join this, however I'm having trouble with what a venue flyer is, or what you put on it. Also, do you need to make that along with a list of songs?

I'm sorry if it's a stupid question

Sims, like life, is very unpredictable. One minute you're eating four day old pizza, and then the repo-man steals your only sofa and you're in tears. ...then the food poison kicks in.

A venue flyer is....a flyer that says when, where, during what time, what event is taking place all on one piece of paper.
The songlist will be on the flyer.

This is right up my alley, too.
But, Pux, a song list is usually taped to the stage floor wherever the band members start out standing -- not on the flyer. That would only mention the biggest hit of late if any song.

One question before I go take another cold pill and load my game, since I might as well do it all while I'm in there, does Round 1 only require the one pic of them playing at a school? No other pics or storyline to go with it?

'nother ? in your ap and rules it says " (young) adult. Do you mean we use YA adults or an adult fresh out of CAS will do, either or? I have a feeling my YA's will promptly turn into regular adults the minute I plop them into the neighborhood, as they always do.

Default Application - Deathbringer
I have mine part done so I'll edit as I go.

DEATHBRINGER

Cam Moore - Vocalist, Back-up Guitar
Benji Moore - Percussion
Wade Marx - Bassist
Rafe "Hey Blondie" Boone - Lead Guitar

Genre: Death Metal


"Hello, (shakes your hand), I'm Cam Moore. I'm the front man for Deathbringer. I can thrash with the best of them, as well. Our band makes the kind of music that makes your daddy curse and your momma have nightmares. Guess that means you're gonna love us to death.


Most bands start out in a garage. Not us. We have a carriage house. Hmmmm, would that make us the "house band"?


Deathbringer. Yeah.


I'll see you there with green beer in hand.

(Stupid photoshop shrunk my flyer to half size when I saved it as a png before going back to picture it to add the text and borders, I cannot get it back to the original size without it looking crusty, but if you want to see a slightly blurred up bigger one where you can read the songs in the borders better, try this pic: DeathbringeR flyer
