Are there any extra arbitrary goals? Starter priced, number of floors / bedrooms? I'm starting this now and wondering if there will be some extra internet points on offer.  ;D


No, no extra internet points this round. Mostly it's because I suspect people will vote for the house they like the most, whether it meets the extra goals or not, but also because I don't want to hamper people's creativity too much. Although there's nothing wrong with a house that looks like a house (incidentally, I'm working on one of those myself), I'd love to see some more innovative creations as well. Just make it sit on top of that foundation, that's all I'm asking.

Here, take this. I am tired of looking at it.

316 Overlord Road

Thinking of becoming an evil mastermind, but your current sphere of influence is sadly lacking in good volcanoes? A villain is nothing without a lair! Fret not, your nastyship, we have you covered.



This unassuming two-story home is just suburban enough to blend in to almost any neighborhood, with just the right amount of 'simulated neglect' to warn off door-to-door solicitors.

 Once passing through your pleasing and well-defended entry, your vic--er, guests, will find themselves in a lovely marbled hall designed to instill the proper level of Respect.



Your Audience Chamber is big enough to get things done, and soundproofed for your privacy and convenience, and is supported by your own personal "hobby room".





The first floor also includes the kitchens, and a lovely hallway and entertainment area.



On the second floor you have your personal bedchamber, with private bathroom and fireplace. There are also dormitories for your minions and a fully modern gymnasium so the grunts can keep in tip-top shape!




Fully furnished our 'starter lair' prices in at about $90,000 (wanded), which is much cheaper and more comfortable than attempting to dynamite out a cavern system! It sits on a 30x30 lot, with some room for expansion.

Not playtested. Probably all EPs.

My first attempt:

55 Shin Hu Lane

Lot size 35x25
Price furnished 170928
Price unfurnished 79200

The home is a Asian house that has a zen garden inside and a zen garden outside. Places for a good meditation.

Well, I've got some questions, if anyone would be kind enough to help. Quite frankly, I have no idea on how to get the screenshots I took of my creations into my darn post and be useful. I stupidly don't even know what to ask google, so I am throwing myself on the mercy of this thread and am asking for help.

I have tried uploading my screenshots to imageshack, but, they come out too small to see any detail in my post. I know that people can be ripped apart on this forum for asking stupid questions, and I realize I should be able to do this, but again, frankly, I have a cornucopia of medical problems and medications that have destroyed my memory and ability to concentrate. So, I guess I'm asking for a little hand holding.

Please?

To post a picture you need the link to the picture itself, not the thumbnail or anything other than the picture. Most sites will have options on what link you need to copy. For example Photobucket has three options to choose from, direct link, HTML, and IMG.

The direct link will look like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/jesslla/Cats/Sandy/DSC_0002-13_zpsa4788689.jpg

Pasting the direct link will create a link to the picture, but won't display the picture.

The IMG link (on photobucket) will look like this (without spaces):

[ URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jesslla/media/Cats/Sandy/DSC_0002-13_zpsa4788689.jpg.html ][ IMG ]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/jesslla/Cats/Sandy/DSC_0002-13_zpsa4788689.jpg[ /IMG ][ /URL ]

The IMG tag has all the information you need to post a picture here on the forum. It may also be called BBCODE on some sites. Photobucket's IMG link also creates a link to the page in my album for people to click on.

The direcct link needs the IMG tag wrapped around it.

The easiest way to wrap the IMG tag around an image is to paste the direct link, highlight the whole link and nothing but the link, and then hit the second button on the left side of the second row of buttons you see when you're replying to a post. If you look close it looks like a picture, and if you hover over it it says "Insert Picture".

You will never need the HTML link on this site. HTML code is ignored here.

If you need further help I can illustrate with pictures. I can't give imageshack help, because I don't use the site. Surely someone here does though.
