And your megaupload links are coming up as "Page not found" for me.
   Huh



Okay, try these:

Ohh Elf Puddle, I would never build such an edifice with cinderblocks!  'Tis the Marbelous something-or-other stuff.  It's supposed to be marble blocks - the closest thing resembling the ancient stones I could come up with using only Eaxis created content.  There are other's MUCH more applicable, but I tried to stay within the constraints of the contest.  Couldn't quite get that, but meh, I tried.

Thank you very much for fixing my pics.  I obviously still haven't figured it out yet.

Still nothing.  "Address not found" and if I delete the "ftp:" bit I get google searches for "what's HTTP?"

EDIT: frakin "quote" appears to be borkened.. I know I put my reply outside the quote code, yet it ended up smack dab in the middle of the quoted statements. Also - Rightclick fails as well, when attempting the links.

Here's my ignorance, let me show you it!   Huh 

Okay, so I tried to use my own upload using FTP, well that's not working, so I'll try it another way.

Congrats, you've learnt something without resorting to whiny 12ness - you've just passed one of the unwritten MATY tasks! WOO! Onwards and upwards!

(And I've downloaded both. -runs off to open game-)

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Here is the 'public' folder where my impostor offering might be accessible.  Someone may let me know if the downloads are working or not? 

Senate of Wyrms


Update:  My memory.  It is what I use to forget stuff.  Like why I had an unused account at StoreWith.  Here are MediaFire links that should work:

Senate of Wyrms 7z

Senate of Wyrms zip

Lot is built with expansion packs through Seasons, plus FFS and GLS, possibly.  There is no interior layout or decoration to speak of, since it was designed to be an impostor.  A basement could easily be added level with the street, but since basements tend to skew the impostor views, I omitted it.  Use it as you see fit.

Pic reminder for reference:



It is great to see some people playing, but we need more entries!  There are several free file-hosting sites available, although some work better than others.

I'm going to have a go at this challenge, if I find time.

Here's mine. 5x6 size lot, costs just under §109k (immaterial, 'cos no sims are going to live here) and Base Game only. I hope the senators notice they have balconies! Pescado's office is in the basement Tongue (Actually there is no basement, just in case of lot floodage) I notice it is pointless placing flowerbeds. Oh well.

It's very attractive, Emma, but it still looks like a house.  I keep thinking Greek temple or Roman coliseum.  I may have to put in an entry for this, if I can find time to build.

The coliseum idea would symbolize the MOAR FIGHT aspects, naturally.

Now that is what I'm talking about.  I think it is going to look awesome filling the blue void in the background of screenshots.  I might even have to use it as playable.  It looks a bit residential, rather than civic, but I am not complaining.  It definitely has a different style that would add great atmosphere to any neighborhood.

My favorite part is that it seems to have a more than subtle Mayan temple character.  I don't know if you intended that, but I think it is very good and very suggestive of ancient Central American architecture.

Great work, Emma!

Thanks Khan, and Jolrei Grin

Nope, no particular design in mind, I just made it. Although, I did sort-of have the GTA 3 type beachside buildings in mind. I wanted to do an apartment-type lot but the building tools and resources are very limited in Base Game setup.


[edit] Oh, by the way, it is totally empty inside-you'd have to build rooms and add staircases and suchlike.

My submission is inspired by the Swedish Riksdagshus (where the parliament is). It has an assembly hall for the senate's deliberations, a library and an espresso stand for caffeination. On the second floor are officies - some senators got their own, you'll have to guess which office belongs to which senator. Cheesy

Outside:




First floor:

(Assembly hall on the left, library on the right)

Second floor:



El Presidente's office has no windows, to facilitate hiding from the burning day star. Please note the trap door in the floor in front of the desk.


The brain sharers obviously share an office.

A picture of the Swedish Riksdagshus, for comparison:

So, you are saying that it has no bathrooms?

Yes, I am considering drenching the place in blood and lining it with gargoyles and sacrifices.


I think Emma's already won though, since hers is basegame compatible.

Emma definitely seems to be playing to win with that move.  Still, that is an awesomely bureaucratic entry, Annan.  Unmistakably governmental.  I hope it impostors as well as it looks on lot.  Don't count yourself out yet; General public opinion is likely to weigh heavily on the final outcome.

(Plus, in downloading it, I quite serendipitously discovered that there are very many hot young single ladies out there in the intertubes who are anxious to meet me.  Can you imagine?  Me!  Bonus!)

I updated my submission in reply #29 above with MediaFire links that appear to actually work.  I found MediaFire to be reasonably straightforward and hassle-free as such things go.  If anyone is in need of free file-hosting for this challenge, or other reasons, and does not yet have it, I recommend trying MediaFire.  I think you can even make submissions anonymously.


No bathrooms, no nuffink!

What, not showing your ass?  I was trolling for a full-Emma-moon for this thread!

Yours is lovely Annan, I might download as a college library-type building, seeing as you've furnished yours. Wink

It occurs to me that a large selection of civic-style buildings would make a great foundation for a custom university.  Maybe a STFU?  I am thinking to add one to my neighborhood to hold all of the submissions here for review.  I'm glad I thought of that.

I am thinking yes, of course, they had better be.  I am not sure how someone could reasonably be expected to find romance in the intertubes without them.


Very nice, Annan -- that one's going in my game...

It really could be the poster-child of everything I was looking for in this challenge, as long as the impostor is of comparable quality.  Very nice work, indeed.  I may use it several times.

I thought about it, but no. I'll save my Khan-moons for special occasions.

Can I enter again? I've made another one...if not, can I replace my original entry with my new one?

No restrictions were placed on multiple entries.  Go for it.  Make a new reply, though, so it is easier to notice.

Nice job Annan!  It is very officious.  Emma's is nice, but I believe Khan is right, it does still look like a house.  I'm frustrated at the phail I had while trying to upload and post pictures, but even so, your imposter is even more imposterer than mine.  Great job!

This was the first time EVAH that I used only Maxis objects. The experience was humbling and frustrating all at once. It comes complete with burnination and kittahs. Due to this, it requires Uni, NL, OFB, Pets, and Bon Voyage.
My entry:

During Construction:

Front Far:

Front Close:

Roof:

Left awesome shot:

Offices: (There's only 20 senators, right?  Wink)

EDIT: Doh! As a lot impostor, I need to show it from neighbourhood view:


Should I win, I would love to see Hecubus decorate the offices with CC just as the Senate Office Maven that she is. I even included balconies for the herb boxes.

There are truly 20 offices and four floors, with the bottom floor being an open chamber for placing the Senate's deliberation area. Two areas for bathrooms. Would probably make a nice dorm.
