Yes Ashley! You are the ghost! Hope you like that. I found the old thread at SWG and you had asked to be shot at, so when I needed someone for the ghost I thought you might like that role instead.

[Tina ☺]

Well, I have just finished reading the challenge and viewing the pic spam, so this chapter won't be too far behind. I'm getting there, Jo!

[joandsarah]

So you read the challenge chapter or not?

I'm confused over

I have just finished reading the challenge

Or do you mean the OWBC challenge? The legacy is a challenge too.

When you feel up to it, maybe a critique would be good. I'm talking over on a BP thread on punctuation and things and have been told "?!" is very annoying. This chapter I know over uses them and I know I over use "!" but I don't know what to use instead. Actually I'm feeling kind of crummy over it.

I think I've got the 'you're/they're thing down fairly well now, and I am trying to add in those full stops on the dialogue.
Now I'm thinking I need to work on my "?!" and "!" But what to replace it with?
You’re the gramma Proff around here and you’ve never mentioned them bugging you...or maybe you’re just being nice.

[Tina ☺]

LOL... I meant the heir ship challenge for the Mobacy.

Quite frankly, the only thing you do that annoys the hell out of me is the way you mix up 'than' and 'then'. It's especially disturbing since you did it in the speech/thought bubbles in the pictures.

ThAn is a comparison like, my car is newer thAn yours. ThEn is to specify time like. I am old now, but back thEn I was just a youngster.

I don't know what you mean by '?!'. You'll have to post me an example of what you mean or something.

Well, I have been accused of being 'condescending' by a certain someone, so I'll NEVER give advice on grammar anymore unless I'm asked...lol

[joandsarah]

Don't worry, let me have it.

the only thing you do that annoys the hell out of me is the way you mix up 'than' and 'then'.

Dang, I really thought I was getting better at that. I changed any that showed up in Word and I did think about it this chapter. I went and read your post on it when I was editing. So sorry, but I did at least try.

With the ?! I simply mean using them together at the end of a sentence. Eg "You're kidding, right?!" I was told there is actually an official punctuation for that, although I don't have it on my key board and I don't think it looks any better anyway. www.interrobang-mks.com/

[Tina ☺]

lol I've never heard of it either, but it says it's in Word's fonts:

"You can find an interrobang in Microsoft Word's Fonts. Go to Format, choose Fonts, then Wingdings 2. You'll find 4 different versions of the interrobang. Hit the ` ~ key, the ] } key, the 6 ^ key, or the - _ key."

[joandsarah]

I saw that, but I'm not sure where it is referring too. I don't see that it's any better; I bet most people haven't even heard of it.

[Sawyer]

And you thought I wouldn't reply...

Lol.

JO!!!!! I loved this chapter!

And *squee* for Sal being heir! ...I kind of hated Tony.

The roulette was pure GENIUS. I wouldn't want to be standing in between one of the simselves and their characters.... D:

Daniel's outfit kind of turned me on... ;D Just kidding, just kidding. But seriously. Thank God sims don't have upskirt shots.

The ax throwing had me cowering in my seat. D:

And the simself chase was hilarious. Shady's not OLD! D: Good on her for letting Sal when. *huggle*

Your simming skillz are quite amazing. I wouldn't even have a clue how/where to start with something like this. *gives golden star* *squee*

This comment is quite short for me, so I'm gonna go see if you're on AIM. And after that...it's Dair Finkums!

[joandsarah]

Sawyer I only just saw this! I guess I expected your reply to be over on BP and I was thinking hmm that boy still hasn't posted a comment. So sorry and a box of chocolates.

Sticks fingers in ears over DP comment. Serously Sawyer.

Those scene were done with lots of pose boxes, OMPS's, maxmotives, hacked objects and witch spells.

*Snicker* nice Jumper Simself Jo!
Why is Luigi trying to imprison you?

LOVE the Simself part, although I feel I am missing something since I don't know who Graham is, but....
ZOMBIES!!!
I'm sure they'll cause some mischief...at the wedding!!! LOL! Love the rats!

Still think Luigi looks "distinguished" It's about time a woman ages better than a man!

OMG! So many LOLs this time. the break dancing was hilarious!

*Sniff* Goodbye Al and Elle. We'll all miss you:(
What a great way to say goodbye to them Jo!

[joandsarah]

So we are! ;D

Why is Luigi trying to imprison you?

I'm not real good at getting my plot points across am I? He wants to stop his parents dying and figures simJo could prevent it.

I don't know who Graham is, but....

I should have refreshed people's memories on who Graham Fisher is I guess. He was the bad guy way back in about chapter 9, he went crazy after the cats howeled outside his flat one night. Anyway Caffie's simself always rather liked him and again quite some time ago I said I would set them up. Back in the chapter where all the simselves come to this new hood, Caffie complained that Graham wasn't there. So she decided to bring him back herself.

Glad there were some laughs and I hope I did Al and Elle's last scene okay. It was hard letting them go.

Thanks so much for the not so lame comment. ;D

[amylu1988]

;D I've missed this family!

Love SimJo's new jumper, and the cool nails! Luigi's pea shooter, bless him, he'd never have imprisoned you with that! Sweet for a mob boss to be so worried about his parents, but I'm glad he gave in to it in the end, Al and Elle seemed ready for it.

And I reiterate my point, Luigi and Joanne are good looking elders, they aged even less than Bandura and Shaun did!

I laughed so much at the marmite moment and the old lady workout. I'm so glad I can still pick out my simself even without the curly hair. I'm captain hero in my game, so it's strange to see my simself in a burglar outfit.

And, of course, best moment ever. The wedding was absolutely brilliant, worth the brainstorming, the downloads and the planning. ;D The shot when they opened the box was great, and I was of course laughing at that too. They're back, in style!

Tamara's got a long way to go to getting 10 body points, but she'll need it for her LTW. I used to hate slouchy sims, but I miss them now, most of mine are 10 neat and 9 active! Yay for Rosa, shame about the similar genetics, but at least we know she's definitely a Mobacy.

Great to see you updating, Jo.

[Aussie Karima]

Wow,so worth the wait!

~ I loved it all & had some LOL's(it is late here so I hope I did not disturbe the neighbors!lol! )
~ I am very sad to see Al & Elle go,but you did give them an eventful send off!
~ Loved it Jo,you did it all,& IT WAS FANTASTIC!

[valpre1983]

Great chapter Jo!

SPOILER: Click to show

Still found some parts funny even though I knew what would go down at the wedding. So sad to see Elle and Al go, but such is the life I guess. And yay for Rosa. She's such a cutie.

I love the new house, it looks fantastic. Stunning shots too.
