I have, as of yesterday, failed my housing inspection for the third time and It's my fault. This, as one might imagine, is BAD! So, I'm piting myself in a penalty box. I get basicaly 10-12 $ of discretionary money that I can spend on fun stuff each month, tops. Each Time I post here (Including this one) that I've failed an inspection, the next person to post, I will pick ONE item of my choice off of their wishlist and buy it for them UP TO a 5.99$ value. This obviously means that there is LESS money to buy things for myself that month, thus making each failure hit me where it will hurt the most, my game budget.

At least this way, somone gets something out of it if I screw up, and hopefully the pain of this first loss is spur enough to keep it from happening again.

Remember: NEXT POSTER ONLY!!!
What if there is no game on their wishlist that qualifies?

Unfortunatley, the terms were quite specific, my choice 5.99$ (american) value or less, you could FIND something you like that fits that bill, but since I cant see your wishlist anyway...

What kind of housing inspection? Would it not be wiser punishment to spend that budget for fixing whatever is broken?
Nope, I just need to scrub stuff.
What are they checking in a house inspection? And at what categories your house is failed? I live in a country where house inspection is not a thing so I am intrigued
They check sanitation, general safety, make sure all appliances are in working order and make sure that the property is up to code. Also, this is not done for every property annually, I'm special because I need financing assistance due to being disabled. I'm incapable of reading facial expressions and body language, so I won't know I've annoyed someone until it gets to the point that they're punching me in the face. This means I can't hold a job, so I have to have public assistance to survive.
Not in, but I hope the next inspection goes better.
That sounds like a heavy way to punish yourself... Half of me wants you to succeed, but the other half wants a chance at a game...

I know, I'm terrible. DX

Nah, you're human, I'd feel the same way if someone else did this. (And just as conflicted about it.)

If it's any consolation the actual winner this time still has yet to actually get her game due to a SNAFU with the purchase process...

That sounds strict. And you incapable of reading people's emotions sound way worse than me. I am already a big introvert who can talk only for 5-6 hours max and spend the rest of day in silence or minimal interaction except with my kids. I once worked in a factory and while I don't have many friends I can reasonably hold my job since I rarely offend anyone.

Hope things will go well for you
You really shouldn't punish yourself, sounds like you have it tough enough as it is. I feel like you could use a gift more than most of us. Still, it's all the more generous of you to run a giveaway like this.

I hope things get better for you!

Oh, and I'm not in.
Sorry to hear about that, I hope the next inspection goes well.

Thanks for the generous giveaway, though I agree with Breja in that you shouldn't punish yourself. I'm also not in.

On an unrelated note, your avatar is the side I always chose for Alpha Centauri. :)
