Would I need to spend points on a computer if I just want an old crappy one or a laptop to browse the internet with?

An 18 and a 17 year old so I don't go over 35 points.

i was thinking that, but you wont last long without food

Two options I've come up with:

Option 1:
- A functioning microwave with microwaveable meals only 2 points
- A stunningly attractive 18 year old. She will have sex with you. 18 points
- Surround sound system with all recorded music. 4 points
- Unlimited booze. 5 points
- Unlimited drugs. 5 points
- Hygiene products and a jacuzzi bath tub. 3 points
- HD camera. 3 points

40 points and $0.

Option 2:
Full kitchen - 6 pts
Library 4
Garden 2 (combined with workshop can make whiskey and drugs)
Workshop 6 (can make my own pool table, gun, model train set, workout equipment)
Hygiene/jacuzzi 3 pts
Music 4
Warehouse 2 pts
Phone 3 pts

30 points and $10 mil.

It doesn't say anything about contraceptives though, so at some point the 18 year old will get pregnant. That alone makes me pick option 2.

Good point for your option #2 since you haven't been laid in 10 years anyways, you won't miss it.

- A stunningly attractive 18 year old. She will have sex with you. 18 points

Keep the rest of the points. I'm busy.

wow.. interesting human experiment for sure.

So that explains why my kid is black.

How many points for a hooker to drop by on occasion?

Not an option.

Chekhov wrote a short story about this

That 18 year old will be annoying after 3 weeks.

Like, ya know, whatever.

I'll take the 5 mil
Full Kitchen (6)
Internet (16)
Gym (5)
Cable (7)
Medical (2)
Skylight (2)
Hygeine products/bath (3)

Thats 35 right?

I notice taking a pay cut still leaves you 1 point shy of TWO stunningly attractive girls

She'll be totes adorbs tho!!


I need to see what I can come up with when I get home. Cool thread.

This is way too easy.

A.) The 18 year old - 18 points
B.) Microwaveable food (so i don't die) - 2 points
C.) Stock market access - 7 points
D.) A cell phone activated once a week so i can call my broker and modify my highly conservative portfolio - 3 points.

There you go, that's exactly 30 points, I bang out a hot chick for 10 years, hire a money manager and have them grow the 10 million at a modest 5% per year which doubles by the time I'm out.

Edited: Option 2 cause someone said the Microwaveable food would kill you (i guess you can't ask for the healthy versions..)

1.) 18 year old again.
2.) Medical care - 2 points
3.) Full kitchen - 6 points
4.) Sun Light - 2 points


Seriously, what else do you need in life other than money, food and sex?

That 18 year old will be great for a few weeks, but at some point, like Donald Fagan sang, "She doesn't even know the Queen of Soul." You'll have nothing in common and you've got ten years to go? I'll go with the puppy and the pool table. ;D

In ten years, she's going to want half.

- Full kitchen, unlimited amounts of the finest ingredients and an iPad that is programmed with every recipe on the planet (iPad for recipe use only) 6 points
- 52" TV with all the cable channels and premium packages. 7 points
- A cell phone that can only be activated one day a week. 3 points
- Library and study with every book ever published. 4 points
- Unlimited drugs. 5 points
- Hygiene products and a jacuzzi bath tub. 3 points
- Garden with greenhouse. 2 points

Got everything I need outside of p***Y....and I'll use my hand for the next 3,650 days, not including leap years....I'll abstain from jerking off on every February 29th.

I'd love the Internet, but it's too expensive and I can get by on tv and books.

I wanted the workout equipment, but I'll get by on running back and forth in my basement like a caged animal and doing pushups and other other exercises I can make up using things in the basement.

I can eat great, have a nice hobby with my greenhouse, read, watch TV, talk once a week on the cell phone to keep in touch....and with unlimited drugs, I'd probably choke to death on my own vomit on Day 4.

First and foremost - where is my guarantee that the money will be there when I get out, and what happens if I'm in year 9 and an asteroid hits?

No thanks.

If I was going to do it, I'd do it this way. Full hermit mode.

- A functioning microwave with microwaveable meals only 2 points
- Full kitchen, unlimited amounts of the finest ingredients and an iPad that is programmed with every recipe on the planet (iPad for recipe use only) 6 points
- 52" TV with all the cable channels and premium packages. 7 points

- Workout room with weights, treadmill, basketball court and batting cage. 5 points
- Hygiene products and a jacuzzi bath tub. 3 points
- Medical care from the medical school of New Delhi. Upgrade to Mayo Clinic doctor for +1. 2 points

I'd make my own food, use the microwave in pinches. I'd have hygiene, health care and a way to exercise. The TV would keep me abreast of the news, and video games would pass time. I would try and get some sun from the skylight. I took the upgraded medical care and would try and get what little human interaction from my regular medical exams. In this scenario I would get all ten million.

What part of forced do you not understand?
