[MaximumZero]

Can you win?
Absolutely, and here's how. A) You fulfill your lifetime wish. B) You make the top of any Career path. C) You master your starting skill and any two others, or hit any three skill challenges. D) You have a long history of good behaviour and show mental stability on all fronts. Fulfill any of those goals, and you win the game, move out, and let the next poor slob take your spot. You're ready to be out on your own.

[Sheb]

Is anyone ever going to fullfill D)? Because this is Bay12 after all.

[scrdest]

Usually it means gaining your lifetime wish.

Yes. Then you move in next door and pretend not to recognize your Hausmates as you nope the fuck outta there.

[Rose]

Is anyone ever going to fullfill D)? Because this is Bay12 after all.

There's two housemates that aren't from bay12

[flabort]

WolfEyez and Sanju?

...That seems right.

Also, you meant hausmates.

[MaximumZero]

That's for people who persist in the Haus for a long time (I haven't decided how long yet) without meeting any of their goals but generally being well rounded, halfway (this is a Halfway Haus, not a whole-way haus,) decent people.

WolfEyez and Sanju?

...That seems right.

Also, you meant hausmates.

Wolfeyez is technically Bay12. She's a lurker, mostly, but she has an account. I'm still trying to get her to play DF, though. Aina, RedKing's NPC girlfriend, is a Hausmate.

[WillowLuman]

I have a feeling people are going to get hurt...

[RedKing]

Dammit Virtual Me, stop trying to get yourself killed! You know better than to poke around in strange holes without protection!

[MaximumZero]

Spoiler: Day 20, Tiberium Fortune! (click to show/hide)

But soft! What light through yonder fruit parfait breaks? It's Aina's favorite dish, that's what.

Time to cheat up earn another cooking skill point! SCIENCE!

Yoink gets ready to get ready. To party, I'm sure.

Poor RedKing, still can't beat Wolfeyez' high score at whack a gnome.

Pictured: Everyone in the fucking Haus waking up at the same time. Synchronized "OHHOLYCRAPI'MHUNGRY!"

Sappho put this piece of scrap on the table, whacked it with a hammer once, and mastered Inventing. 2.5/3 objectives complete! Only painting left to go!

Maybe we need bigger tables.

RedKing's fruit parfait was largely a big hit. It was "Excellent" quality, after all. Kal sits alone for some reason.

RedKing goes back to bed. Impressing everyone is hard work, after all.

Tiruin had a book handy. Japa says, "Who do you think you are, Vector?"

I'm going to fix these shower things once and for all. I'm upgrading at least a couple of them to unbreakable.

Kal looks...lost in this picture. I don't know what was expected at the bottom of the parfait.

Sanju in the garden. I'm sure you can see that, but I figured I'd point it out.

Vector is also in the garden. Those poor black plants will never grow anything again. They're dead, Jim.

Yoink got a call from his agent. He got an opportunity to drop a check off at the local elementary school, due to his celebrity status. Hey, the gig pays!

Kal went out and got a job at the mausoleum. It's part time, three hours a day, five days a week.

"While I'm here, I may as well investigate."

So much for that.

Tiruin and Aina hit the weights.

Japa's "orrery-you-uneducated-swine." It has a long name.

Not content with his not a globe thing, he sets out to invent something new.

Wolfeyez goes out to help in the garden.

Tiruin, that's only one plate, quit playing around.

RedKing's nap is over. He dreamt of the endless dirty dishes of work.

Vector and Sappho attack the Past and the Future, respectively.

RedKing is conflicted about the bathroom stalls.

Japa made us another miner! Woo, treasure hooooo!

Sappho did not find any treasure in the Future. Sad.

Drill, baby, drill?

Kal gets the mail! It's a painting addressed to RedKing, from one of the married women. We promptly sell it for $500 or so. Thanks, weird married lady!

Sappho has many accolades. Sanju was making her bed.

Since Sappho determined that in the Future, there is no treasure, Sanju heads to the Past!

All these damned holes are ruining the property value.

RedKing decides to take an adventure in this one, though. It could have cool stuff in it.

Yoink is at the bar with one of his coworkers. I forget his name, sorry.

Tiberium is not in short supply in the Haus. We have lots of money from the mining, time travel, and my breaking space rock bricks. Lots of money.

Sappho begins a painting. It's yellow.

Vector is back! She found...some money! And a gnome, which I promptly sold for $1k.

Who knew that Wolfeyez would find so much stuff just digging around in the back yard?

This is apparently a beach. Yoink gives no fucks about the grass, and scriver and a paparazzi lady take in the view.

Tea time with Vector, Tiruin, and Sappho!

Yoink is hungry. There are no vendors at this beach. Or waves. Or sand. Or sun. This beach sucks. I have half a mind to buy the damned place and turn it into a real beach.

Cell phone photo? Sure! Make sure you catch the awesome beach in the background, you wanker!

Kal is very evocative and excitable for some reason. Little Timmy fell in the well? Lassie fell in the well? There's Tiberium in the well? Out with it!

More tea. Vector seems mildly irritated at the camera. Bad Vector! Leave the fourth wall alone!

Time for Wolfeyez to go to work. That outfit is...less than super flattering.

RedKing isn't happy about wearing it, either.

Japa travels through time, and very slightly through space.

Sappho wants to burn off those tea calories, I guess.

Kal meets an interesting man from Egypt at the library. I...guess that's a sight you can see. Not my first choice, but hey.

BACK TO THE GARDEN!

More Tiberium from digging! We have ALL THE MONEY! The dust from cutting the gems also turns into a large Tiberium, and does so pretty quickly, which means we have shitloads of money. Seriously.

Kal pokes the fireplace at the library. What is it with you folks and poking fireplaces?

Tiruin on the trampoline. Whee!

Aaah, so warm.

Darkpaladin, Birdy and Jackie (Birdy's wife) all at the library. Of note is that Jackie is in maternity clothes. Also, Darkpaladin proposed to Rajita Wong!

Kal congratulates Jackie Elliot-Bay12NPC on the bump.

This...really sums it up.

Oh nooo! NOOOOOoooooo_ooooo...

Sanju and Vector take on some martial arts. I am conspicuously absent.

Japa takes on the next greatest adventure. Traveling through space and time!

There's no way that isn't at least a little bit ionizing.

Tiruin is back from underground, and was integrated into a society of literal cavemen!

Tir also found a lot of treasure. Gold and a couple of space rocks.

Sappho's turn to head underground. She's after the loot that Tiruin missed. Hopefully she stays away from the cavemen.

Book club? Book club.

Vector breaking three oak boards. In the dark. I should put some lights out there. Or make it an indoor dojo. Or something.

Well, damn, that didn't end well. Japa was literally thrown out on his ass.

So, he goes to the future instead.

Kal follows him for backup, and immediately regrets that decision.

So, let's have some replicated steak instead. Screw time travel.

The cookin' crew is home. Both have been promoted.

RedKing heads to a bookstore to buy some recipe books, and finds one that he'll never see on TV. The new recipe? Ambrosia. Problem is, we don't have the stuff to make it, and it can't be replicated.

Aina is the first one down today.

Vector and Japa have a chat about science and math that is way above my head.

Kal goes to bed, dreaming about buffing up.

RedKing goes to the bar area near the elevators.

Wolfeyez plays in the sprinklers in the dark. She loves water so much. Weirdo.

Vector sat there specifically to antagonize RedKing.

Yoink works on his writing after work. He's not writing anything in particular, just writing.

Damn holes, ruining mah football turf.

Sappho helps me out. I appreciate that. Filling in Russian boreholes is tough work.

Sanju heads to bed. Everyone will soon follow. To their own beds, I mean. That bed is big, but not that big.

Vector sits down with the gardening book to get that one last skill point. She won't do it tonight.

RedKing and Japa watch some cooking shows.

Sappho heads to bed.

Tiruin also heads to bed. Most of the Haus is down now.

Wolfeyez puts the leftovers away. Everyone else heads to bed.

Lights out in the Haus!

Eerie music begins to play...Barbarossa has risen to haunt the fortress Haus!

"Hey, Max." "Hey, Barbar." "What's up?" "Same ol' same ol', man."

Barbarossa had to check Bay12, I guess. Gotta see if the newest update to DF is up, right?

Anyway, the day is over!

[Vector]

> Antagonsim

[birdy51]

Babies.

That is all. I am proud of my virtual me's life decisions.

[RedKing]

Day 21 Actions:

>Try painting (since I have no skill whatsoever).
>Have a date with Aina.

[Vorthon]

I might have to change my goal if all this money keeps rolling in. Don't want to pop out the same day I finally get in. :u

This is not completely unlike our IRL relationship.
