Date or Incinerate: The Rules
By popular demand, and since I wont be able to finish posting the original Date or Incinerate for at least another month, I've decided to post up the rules so that others can give it a shot. :D
ENJOY!
Date or Incinerate: The Rules
Ingredients:
1 'Lonely Sim'
7 Contestants desperate enough to die for love
1 Hot Tub
1 Medium/large fishing pond
1 Log Roll Game
1 Poker table
1 Radio
1 Massage Table
1 Facility of DEATH! (whether it be a room with a fireplace and nothing else in it, or insim etc: your choice)
+ Beds, Bathrooms, Kitchens etc to taste.
+ 1 Nice mantlepiece/cemetary to keep all of your graves/urns in
If you would like to give it more of an asylum flavour, feel free to supply not enough bathrooms etc - or to give only the palatial bathroom to the 'Lonely Sim' and lock it with a Myne door. Otherwise, I highly recommend going as lavish as possible with the whole house/grounds. xD
Method:
Preparation...
Ensure that you have all the facilities listed (plus any you feel you may enjoy) on the lot. Decide now what 24 hours period will be your 'day' ie: from midday to midday, 6am through to 6am etc In my version I chose 3am to 3am being the devil's hour which was fitting for my supernaturally themed challenge.
Day 1...
Meet and Greet. Let your sims do what they want, and talk to who they want. + do two chats and a “Check Sim Out” with each contestant Sim.
No Elimination (though relationship points of the Lonely Sim with the contestants should be screencapped).
Day 2...
Put Lonely Sim in a hot tub. Pause game and direct lonely sim to call all contestants to join them in the hot tub. Unpause. Let them fight for the stairs. The first three sims who get there first can have their group date with your lonely Sim.
Later in the day, have all contestants go fishing, at the same time, in the pond. Again, if they walk away, you can’t make them go back. Whoever has the most fish by 6 PM cannot be eliminated.
Have Lonely Sim do 1 single "chat" with each single Sim.
The sim with the lowest score with the Lonely Sim (top and bottom relationship on the Lonely Sim's relationship page ONLY) is eliminated. And we do mean ELIMINATED. Incinerate that contestant in any way you choose to see fit: with a room with a moose fireplace and nothing else, with the insim suicide option, another creative way to burn.
All tombstones/urns must be kept on the lot for the duration of the challenge: though where they are kept is up to you and your aesthetic sensibilities
Day 3...
Group Dates in the hot tub as before. Do one share interests and one gossip with each Sim.
LOG ROLLING COMPETITION! Each contestant log rolls against the 'Lonely Sim' for half an hour each. Whoever wins against the heir cannot be eliminated.
At the end of the day, the sim with the lowest score with the Lowest Sim (top and bottom relationship on the Lonely Sim's relationship page ONLY) is eliminated.
Day 4...
Do one check out, and 2 interactive flirts with each of your single sims. Do 1 "share interests" with each of your single sims.
Poker date! Invite all sims to play poker in the same fashion as the hot tub. Like the hot tub, those that snooze, lose. Anyone that gets up and leaves cannot be invited back, the 'date' is completed when the heir has left the table or they are the only one left. Anyone that wins at poker is safe from elimination that day.
Score for the purposes of elimination is worked out thus: Relationship (top and bottom), PLUS 10 points for a crush, 20 points for Best Friends, and 10 points per lightning bolt (or MINUS five for negative lightning bolt). As per the previous days, the sim with the lowest score is dealt a mortal blow... OF FIRE!
Day 5...
Do 3 flirts with each of your 4 remaining single sims. In the afternoon, have the 'Lonely Sim' form a casual group with all the remaining Sims and go on a group date (it must be somewhere where they can eat a meal together). Do 1 kiss "romantic" with each of your single sims.
Points for elimination: Relationship (top and bottom), PLUS 10 points for a crush, 20 points for Best Friends, and 10 points per lightning bolt (or MINUS five for negative lightning bolt).
Day 6...
Do 3 flirts with each of your single sims. SMUSTLE TIME!! Have your sim turn on the radio and invite all the remaining sims to Smustle. Hot tub date, invite all remaining sims to hang out in the hot tub. Once they leave they cannot be reinvited etc. Do one "gossip" and 1 "make out" with your three remaining single sims.
Elimination Score: Relationship (top and bottom), PLUS 10 points for a crush, 20 points for Best Friends, and 10 points per lightning bolt (or MINUS five for negative lightning bolt).
Day 7...
Go on a Private Date/Outing with each of the two remaining contestant Sims. It’s imperative that both contestant Sims do not go at once, or else you’ll have a lot of angry Sims on your hands. On the date attempt flirting and kissing.
A kiss is 30 points, and a makeout is 50. A woohoo is 100. If your Sim rejects any of these, you will subtract 10 points from the final score.
Ask each of the remaining sims for a swedish massage. One last 'group date' in the hot tub.
The FINAL elimination is worked out in the following manner: Lonely Sim’s Relationship score (top and bottom) PLUS Contestant’s relationship score (top and bottom). Then give 10 points for each lightning bolt. 10 points for a crush. 20 points for Best Friends. 50 points for in Love. Then add the score for the Final Date: kisses, flirts, woohoos (points only count for one of each occurence).

Caveats/'in case of' rules:
If a sim passes out/breaks down etc then it must be left for a 24 hour period from when each event happened before watering/repair/etc by 'lonely sim'. They miss out on the chance at any points they may have accrued from the days events they have missed, but not out of the running (so still eligible for elimination).
If a sim dies before the incineration time, that counts as the elimination and there is no other incineration/eviction that day.
