Dear Readers and Friends: You are all weirdos

[strangetomato]

Gentle readers and fellow Strangetown-lovers,

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you're all weirdos. Wait, don't leave yet... I have proof, from the official Sims 2 site:

Isn't that wild? I would never have expected Strangetown to be the least favourite hood in any poll. I guess us weirdos just congregate on livejournal. But seriously... it was beaten by Desiderata Valley?! WTF? That hood is just a pile of turd with no personality at all, from what I can see. (Sorry, I'm feeling rather honest right now. *snicker*) I love you, FT, but your hood sucks.

*waves Strangetown flag*

*goes off to design a Stragetown flag* Now THAT would be nerdy...

Are you kidding me?

Desiderata Valley, the neighborhood that's been out for just a couple of months, won against Strangetown, that's been around since the Base Game came out?!

Man! I thought that longevity (aka time to get to know the sims and their stories) would give Strangetown a huge advantage over Riverblossom Hills and DV. I admit I've barely played in those two neighborhoods, so I don't know their sims pretty well (except for the Ottomas).

I'll admit I used to play with Pleasantview all the time (and that's the reason I started a legacy with a Broke sim as a founder) and barely noticed Strangetown (that was my sister's neighborhood). But when I began my Legacy, I decided to move Beau to another place to make things interesting, and Strangetown won against Riverblossom just because it was a desert town (aka different). A couple months before I even discovered your story, I was already in love with its characters ^^.

I think Strangetown is looked down because it's populated by "nerds" (the Curious Brothers), "freaks" (the Beaker family and Nervous Subject) and ZOMG UGLY ALIEEEENS (PT Smith, Johnny and Pascal's spawn). Perhaps some of the storylines are too "strange" (pun intended) for some people, like male pregnancy (I have one sister who doesn't like looking at pregnant Pascal walk around the place, she says it's too odd for her), woo hoo with the Grim Reaper and the torture evidence of Nervous story. I think the "most normal" family is the Grunts, but they are "fug" too :P.

Dude, if you open a community I'd love to read it! I almost joined My Pleasantview and My Strangetown, but they were pretty dead.

Perhaps a community for Maxis character's love?

OOH!!! That's an even better idea there, I think! Having it be for all the Maxis characters would definitely make it more open for everybody, and it would probably be more active. :D

Maxis character's love!!?? UUHH YEAH!! I'm all for that too!
Strangetown will always my home town, but since i started playing the combined hood i have come to love soo many of the characters. Still Pleasantview is my least favorite, because most of the characters in my opinion are pretty doll (not intention to offend, tho) Goths excluded, of course :) but i love Veronaville sims, a few in bluewater, controllable at colleges, etc.
In few words ... I do maxis! :P
