Other Stories: Loading the Grunt-Pleasant family










Such a happy family! I can't wait to see how they rearrange themselves on this screen after the wedding.

That's one, big Happy (I said happy, dammit)Family! LOL!
I think what makes me chuckle the most about it is that, the teens are mostly pouting, angry, the adults look like they're trying to ignore all the pouting, and there's Buck, out there in front,"Yay! Everybody's together! Everything will be fine! I'm so happy!"
I think Buck is the eternal optimist. His glass is always half full, no matter how empty it really is.

Happiness! I demand happiness! *snicker* Just a little of that patented Army-issued cheer. (Oh, man... Buzz is a General and Mary-Sue is in politics. Could they be any similar, or more humourless?)

I totally agree. Buck really is the eternal optimist, at least as a child.

Ripp: The glass isn't just half empty, Buck - it's completely empty!

Buck: No, it's full! Full of wonderful, fresh air!

Yes! That's my little optimist! LOL!

She is politics? And she's sleeping with the Army? That can't be good! If she's anything like The General I could just see all the kids running away from home. Well, half of them, anyway. Tank wouldn't and neither would Buck.

Yeah, that's the career that Mary-Sue is following, if she doesn't lose her job on the first chance card (I was lucky enough to just get her demoted instead). That's why she wears the beige power suit, I guess. It's the exact same colour as the General's khakis.

I have yet to see Lilith run away from home in my game. What has to occur for it to happen?

Teens have to have a low relationship score with everyone in the house (I want to saw -20 but that seems insane). I've never had it happen, but I think Lil's already low with Mary-Sue and Ange.

For a teen to run away they have to have a very low social score with every one in the house. Ripp ran away from me this time. He was in the minus with his father and Tank. Buck and his relationship was in the positive but the numbers had gotten kind of low. He just got up one day and took off. I forget what the message was I got but I can paraphrase and say it was more or less, "Fuck this shit I'm outta here!"
I did have the general call the police and he was brought back later in the day. If Lilith gets a low enough score with her parents she might run off.
