Announcement Shaped Announcement

The Stanford Prison Experiment is no more :(

I've tried and I've tried, and the problem is unfixable. Y'see, ever since I patched a while ago the prison household has become kind of inaccessible. Because there were like eleven Sims in a household I had to use a mod to make it work, but having to take out that mod and put it back in again meant the coding to allow more than eight Sims per household was gone for a while, which fucked things up rather.

When I load the game there are no thumbnails at all, meaning I can't control any of the Sims, and when I try to split or evict the household the game shuts down. I thought if I tried it on my new compizzle it might be okay, but now instead of shutting down the game just 'processes' FOREVAR. I don't have a finished copy of the prison saved, so there's no way to fix things (and I'm not about to build it all over again).

Apologies to all. I have other stories you can read if it makes you feel any better :)

Trapped

FuryRed's Diary: Day One.

At 9.07am the experiment began. It was a simple premise- lock up ten Sims in a specially made prison and watch to see what happens. But of course it's never as easy as that...

After being assigned the position of either prisoner of guard the participants would have to act accordingly, and I would witness as their environment and their roles began to impact their behaviour.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Soon enough the volunteers began to arrive at the facility; each blissfully ignorant as to what they were letting themselves in for.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
After a quick briefing on what they were told the aims of the experiment were, the participants were informed of their roles and directed to a room where they could change into their new uniforms.

You could say that's where the trouble began...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ohmygod Fury I'm going to KILL YOU!


Whaaat? I told you that you'd be getting a nice shiny new uniform to wear...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Yeah, but you neglected to mention that it would involve being DRESSED LIKE A HOOKER!


*snicker*

Oh alright then, I'll change it. Spoilsport...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ahh, that's much better.


Yeah yeah, if you say so Bitten... *sulks*



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
No no, this will not do. Where are the polkadots, and why is it so conservative? And flats? FLATS? I'm just lucky I'm so damn hot and I can pull off anything. Nevertheless...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hi Miss whateveryournameis. Look, this uniform just isn't going to work for me- we need something new. I'm thinking lace, I'm thinking six-inch heels- no one's been laid in nylon since like forever.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Erm, Apple... this is a psychological study, not a fashion show. You've been given a uniform and you'll just have to deal with it. No accessorising okay?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hey you, don't you know who I am? I'm Apple Rotten, and I demand that my needs are met! I had enough of this crap in my legacy with my creator pushing me around all day.
And another thing, what are you even doing here? You're meant to be the narrator right, so how come I can hear you all the time?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Your fourth wall sucks too doesn't it?


...Don't tell anyone.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
10.35am: After everyone was all settled in their new uniforms, the volunteers took time to check out their new home for the next however-long.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The cells were equipt with two beds per room, so the inmates would be sharing. However, as there was an uneven number of prisoners Mort was able to snag himself a room all of his very own, which suited him just fine.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
The other inmates were not so lucky as they discovered just who they would be sharing with...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hang on- you expect me, the mighty Ruby, to share with a meer mortal?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Little Red Riding Hood is going DOWN!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
11.57am: After scoping out the bedrooms, the prisoners next headed to the wonderful bathroom I'd created for them.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh. My. Gosh.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I'm going to die in here.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Meanwhile, Ruby decided to venture into the kitchen and cook a nutritious-ish meal for everyone.

Whilst waiting for their food, some of the others got to know each other a little better...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hey baby, I see you checking out the Wolfmeister and I want you to know- I'm down. You just name the place and the time honey and I'm there, with gravy on it.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ah listen guy, that's real sweet and all, but I just got banged up and I'm really not looking to get, erm, banged up right now...
Maybe we should get to know each other a little better before you go... 'pouring gravy' on anything...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hey no worries baby, the Wolfman can be patient- he always gets what he wants in the end.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hello?! Why is this guy getting all the action? When I put myself forward for this I was expecting Simselves galore and instead they're all on the guards side and I'm stuck in here with the crazy one!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
LOOK AT ME I'M COOKING!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
*grumble* This is not what I signed up for, but hey at least we get free food *nom nom*


Urgh I can't sit down on that bench, it's filthy! And this food looks awful...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I slaved and I slaved over that meal, and for what?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
1.02am: Across the compound the guards were also surveying their surroundings, though they had considerably nicer things to look at.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hehe, he's so hot- go talk to him Esther.


*giggle* No you're the one who likes him, you go talk to him.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I wonder what it would be like to kiss a vampire, his skin must be so cold...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Random you should be ashamed of yourself, perving on a man several hundred years older than you like that.
And get away from the bar! No Dutch courage for you.




Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh fine then, but don't blame me if you end up throwing yourself at him in a liquor-induced haze.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
So you know I think it's pretty cool that we're guards cause we now have all this power, and I love power I'm very powerful I can make men do whatever I want just because I'm so powerful and so hot and have awesome pigtails and--


Grr just shut up already, I'm trying to play Halo...



Image and video hosting by  TinyPic
3.42pm: As the guards began to settle in to their new home, Esther was the first to enjoy the luxuries of the incredibly awesome and lavish bathroom.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ah it's so pretty and shiny isn't it? Not at all like the prisoners bathroom. Speaking of which...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Now, as Mort is such an obvious fanny-magnet I was naturally a bit concerned when it came to the communal showers issue, what with all the pervy pervasons out there in Sim land and all...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And unfortunately it would soon seem that my fears were well-founded...

Barely seconds after Mort had dropped his kecks and started to lather up I noticed a rather disturbing presence...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic




Image and video hosting by TinyPic
You. Should. Be. Ashamed.

Fear not for Mort though, cause Bitten and Random were about to get exactly what they deserved...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh, you're here already? I guess someone must have written ahead and told you I was going to be here. Well don't worry ladies, you wont have to wait much longer, the good stuff is coming.

Ahmagadahmagadahmagad. Oh I'm scarred for life, I-- Random why are you smiling?


I scratched my eyes out as soon as the pants came off.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
5.25pm: Outside the prison some of the inmates were in need of a taste of freedom, and so ventured out into the yard.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Grr GRRRR the Wolfman does not like to be cooped-up, I can't take this much longer I'm going to...!!!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ah that's better, got to let the Wolfie muscles out in the open where they can be appreciated.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Meanwhile...

I'll just twist this a little, unscrew this bolt and... heh heh heh.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh Wolfie, Wolfie dear- could I have a word with you for a minute?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Listen, I'm a guard and you're a prisoner, so you pretty much have to do exactly what I say.
I have a job for you to do.


Sure thing baby, you know the Wolfman's always got time for you. Now, just what sort of fun task do you have in mind...?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Grr...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hmph, no one said anything about menial labour, and why do I have to do this in my underwear?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Look Esther, I know you're feeling the Wolfmeister- I know you think I'm foxy, I know you want me to butter your muffin, so let's just stop with the games huh?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Wolfie, darling- I never play games. Well, not unless I'm sure I can win.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Well in that case how would you like to play a game called balls on ch--

NO WOLFIE! This is not THAT type of prison story...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
My god you guys, you're meant to be enemies! Sheesh.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
8.59pm: As time went on the guards and prisoners continued to have difficulty fitting into their roles successfully.


Well, some of them had the right idea...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Yeah you clean that toilet, you clean it bitch! I want to see my face shining in that by morning.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Bahaha, I'm the greatest most powerful most awesome Sim in the history of the worlddddddddddd!



Image and video hosting by  TinyPic
Ahem, excuse me Apple- but I believe you're mistaken. I think you'll find I have all the power here, so you might want to stop picking on Mort before I do something you'll regret.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh you, you... commoner! What are you gonna do to stop me eh?



Image and video hosting by  TinyPic
I have three words for you my friend.

Dexter. The. Bear.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Aieeeeee!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh yes, I've still got it.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
11.13pm: After a long hard first day in the prison, and presumably too scared to venture outside her room, Apple settled down for a good night's rest.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Before long the other guards followed suit.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Over on the prisoners side of things, Zeus and Wolfie squared up to each other as they contemplated their own individual signature, erm, hotness.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Meanwhile, Mort was already sound asleep.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Erm...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ohmygod Random, you creeper!
Scary thing is, this was all on freewill.




Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Over at the girls' room...

Oh oh I don't like this, I need to use the bathroom...



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
There's a toilet right there- just go.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But but I can't! It's disgustingly filthy, and you're watching me- it's too weird.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I'll turn the other way okay, just go to the toilet.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ohhh but I'm tireeeeddd! I'm too sleepy to pee and I need the toilet too much to sleep!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh for Dexter's sake... Just go to the toilet already, go to the toilet, GO TO THE TOILET.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh oh... Can't hold it any longer I--



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Eeep.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh noooo.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh yeah, that's much less embarrassing that using a dirty toilet in front of someone isn't it? *snicker*

Little Red? Red...?



Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh.
