User blog:Pidgeoraptor7/MASH: Sims Edition

I have an idea for a User Created Contest and I wanted to know what other users think about it before I decide to make it something official. I will start by explaining what MASH is!

Mash is a game that is generally played by teenagers for fun (the kids in my school used to play it all the time), and the name MASH itself is an acronym for "Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House". It's a way of predicting someone's future (although most of it will never happen because much of it is just pure random). It's usually played by two people: One who is the subject of the MASH, and the second does the counting.

There are often several categories, the main ones being Spouse, House, Job, Number of Children, Pet; and often multiple others can be added such as: Vacation/Honeymoon, Wedding Attire, Method of Transportation/Vehicle, etc.

Each of these categories are filled up by about five of each. The subject (Player 1) would choose a random number between 1 and 10, and Player 2 would eliminate each object that appears at that number. I will do a demonstration, using myself as the subject, using completely random objects in each category:

Subject: Pidgeoraptor7

Categories:

Spouse House Job Number of Children Pet Vacation Vehicle
 * Selena Gomez
 * Christina Aguilera
 * Alicia Keys
 * Angelina Jolie
 * Honey Boo Boo
 * Mansion
 * Spaceship
 * Cupboard Under the Stairs
 * Castle
 * Dumpster Complex
 * Surgeon
 * Architect
 * Pokémon Trainer
 * Garbage Man
 * Assassin
 * Infinity
 * 3
 * 96
 * Adopt
 * -17
 * Stick of Butter
 * Dragon
 * Puppy
 * Lima Bean
 * Eel
 * Homeless Shelter
 * Hawaii
 * Bulgaria
 * Germany
 * My backyard
 * Flying Broomstick
 * Private Jet
 * Ferrari
 * Unicycle
 * Bean Bag Chair

And then, I would pick a random number, so I will pick seven. Then we would count by sevens, and eliminate each one that we land on. So, by picking seven, we would first eliminate Spaceship. Therefore, I would not be living in a spaceship. Then, we would eliminate Garbage Man, so therefore my profession would not be garbage can. The finished product would end up looking like this:

Subject: Pidgeoraptor7

Categories:

Spouse House Job Number of Children Pet Vacation Vehicle
 * Selena Gomez
 * Christina Aguilera
 * Alicia Keys
 * Angelina Jolie
 * Honey Boo Boo
 * Mansion
 * Spaceship
 * Cupboard Under the Stairs
 * Castle
 * Dumpster Complex
 * Surgeon
 * Architect
 * Pokémon Trainer
 * Garbage Man
 * Assassin
 * Infinity
 * 3
 * 96
 * Adopt
 * -17
 * Stick of Butter
 * Dragon
 * Puppy
 * Lima Bean
 * Eel
 * Homeless Shelter
 * Hawaii
 * Bulgaria
 * Germany
 * My backyard
 * Flying Broomstick
 * Private Jet
 * Ferrari
 * Unicycle
 * Bean Bag Chair

And the final product would sound like this: Pidgeoraptor7 will marry Selena Gomez, and they will have 3 children. They will vacation to their backyard. Pidgeoraptor7 will ride a flying broomstick, and will have a pet Dragon. He will work as an architect.

What I want to do is make this so that everything is Sim-related. A Sim can be the subject, houses can be randomly selected lots from throughout the Sims Series. Their spouse can be another sim, male or female, their pet can be anything from Bigfoot to a regular animal. Their vehicle can be any vehicle, and the number of kids will be completely random, as will the number that decides which to eliminate. Vacations can be to various other neighborhoods, and Jobs can be professions that Sims can hold in any of the games.

While I will be the only one participating in making the MASH for the Sim and choosing the objects in each category, I would like to know what everyone thinks before I make this official. Give me feedback about whether its a good idea, and how often I should edit it, and what categories I should include. Thank you all for reading this extremely long blog, and happy simming!
