I'll try to make one, although this sort of follows the example.
University
Scenario: Today is your final exam , and you aren't confident you'll pass.
Option 1: Answer the test honestly.
if int >= 60 = happiness +5, int + 5
else int - 5 happiness - 5
Option 2: Cheat from a friend
if friends >= 6 = happiness + 5
else charisma - 5, happiness - 5, int - 5
Option 3: Cram a little more
happiness - 2
Okay, that's all I can think of right now.
Sounds great. This is exactly the type of examples I want to see.
Nice job! How about if you don't show up for work or school for a long time you get fired/exspelled.
Perhaps I can make a scene out of that.
I also have a story.
School, age 5-7
Scenario: There is a kid bugging you during a lesson, you can't help but do something.
Option 1: Ask him to Stop Calmly (+5 Charm, +1 Friend, +5 Happiness)
Option 2: Hit him in the face (-5 Charm, -1 friend, +10 Strength)
Option 3. Start crying like a little girl (-15 Happiness)
Yep that's cool.

Forget about my fired thing. I think it sounds stupid.
see above.
School
Age 6
Scenario: Your class is going skating, though it is your first time and don't know what to do.
Option 1: Hold on to the edge the whole time.
If strength > 25, +5 Happiness (sucsess)
If else, -10 happiness, -5 Appearance (Fall down on face and break nose)
Option 2: Run on the ice
-5 Intelligence (Automaticly Slip)
Option 3: Think of what the teacher said to do
If Intelligence >65, +10 Intelligence, +15 Happiness.
If else, -15 Happiness
OK that's good.
But just want to mention that the next memoir will be different to the first meaning that you don't get set scenes according to age. All scenes are picked randomly using the random function. This is why I'm asking for scenes here so you don't get the same scene again.
Of course you only get certain scenes depending on age. Like you can't answer a quiz question designed for children when you're a teenager.

Here's a shot....
Play Video Games
You dig up an old video game console in the attic.
Option one - Sell it in a yard sale = +$Small amount of money
Option two - Give it away = +1 friends
Option three - Play it for a while =
If age > 44 = Your hand-to-eye skills have deteriorated, but it's still fun. +3 happiness
If age < 30 = The game is boring, and there are no instructions. What a waste of time. -3 Happiness
If age >29, but age < 45, = You remember this game from the good old days, and have a great time. +6 Happiness
Video games was not in italic but I like this scene nonetheless.
Definitely adding.
here's one:
age 16
hp:100
str:76
int:47
happ:satisfied(i dont konw)
appearance:57
ath:74
your friends want to go to the mall
but you have a test in science
option1:go with them and study afterwards(+1 int,+ 2 friends,6 happ)
option2:study hard(+5 int,-2 friends,-5 happ)
option3:go with them and not study(-5 int,+2 friends,5 happ)
friends depends on cha
result in test depends on int
hope this is good enough
From now on I'll just say yep to all comments with scenes. I feel a little OCD if I don't reply to comments.
Here's another scene.
Cinema-
Scenario: You are in the cinema with some friends and friends of friends , and you can't decide on which movie to watch with your friends.
Option 1 : Let them decide.
happiness + 3, friends + 1
Option 2 : Choose a movie you like
if charisma >60, happiness + 5 charisma + 1
Else friends - 1, happiness - 2
Option 3 : Abandon the idea of watching a movie
charisma - 5, friends - 2
My plan with the cinema is it'll choose a random title of a movie. Whether anything after that happens I'm still deciding. Too much work for a minor part of the game.
Oops, forgot this too. I'm not sure if it was in Alter Ego, however. I think this is sorta different.
Date Experience
Scenario: You are preparing for a date. While dressing up and washing, you notice a zit (or pimple, whichever you prefer) on your forehead.
Option 1 : pop it
You got a scar, idiot. appearance - 5 intelligence - 5
Option 2 : cover it with something else
Luckily no one noticed. [no bonus / penalty]
Option 3 : ignore it
Your date saw it but didn't really care much aside from commenting on it.
happiness + 1
Yeah this was in Alter Ego but I can see how different it is.
A new event could be "Use Computer" though it would depend on the year.
Hmmmm.
I was going to put a computer in the store with each model changing according to year. Yeah I can make an event out of that.
I also heard you wanted to make cheats
I have a few ideas about this
Unlimited Money Cheat
All High Stats Cheat
Choose-Your-Stats Cheat
Thats about it though.
I was going to do it like NG Sim. You'd enter cheats in the name field.
About the choose your stats: I'm going to make a character creator where you'd have manual, random and premade. But that's causing me trouble. I really can't draw well especially when stats determine your appearance. There's always something that doesn't work right.
Cinema
Scenairo: There is a kid next to you making a lot of noise during the movie, the guard asks you to leave instead
Option 1: Convince him it was the kid
If charm >40 and intelligence >60, Happiness > 15
If else, Happiness <15
Option 2: Just leave
Stats saty the same
Option 3: Start yelling at him
Charm < 25, Happiness < 10
I believe you mean an usher.
Though these days we have armed guards at airports looking for explosives in the form of water bottles. Guards at cinemas shouldn't be so odd.
Nice character, I like it.
I still think the face could do work.
I mean I've made it so the character smiles if they're attractive and frowning if they're not. That could make people it has something to do with the happiness stat. I'm not really sure what makes a person attractive or ugly.
Maybe you can also indicate they are attractive by making the character have sparkles or shine.
Funnily enough that was my first idea by having a star next to them if they had the highest app stat.
I've made characters with the lowest app stat have a dirty face though so sparkles sounds like a good fit.
Cinema
Scenario: The movie you wanted to watch is sold out of tickets.
Option 1: Watch another movie (charm +5 and -10 money )
Option 2: Rent the movie on DVD (Money -10)
Option 3: Demand a screening of the movie ( If strength is over 50=suceed. If strength is under 50=(-5 charm and 10 money)
cool
It would be nice when you reach old age, there are no fixed limits ( I think you also mean something you put in, 'game ends the way you want it'? ), but the health decrease grows exponentially
Not sure what to do about old age.
The health loss was there to stop people from reaching 130 too easily. At the moment I'm making it all up as I go along.
Another scene.
Museum
Preferably before the age of 70
Scenario: You are visiting a history museum when suddenly a young person manages to steal a display item via the use of (=-insert tools here-=).
Option 1: Run after the thief
If athletics OR strength >=80, charisma + 1, money + 10*2d6
"You caught the thief and got recognition and reward from the museum staff."
Else health - 2
"You ran after the intruder but tripped over a (-insert object here-) and got a few cuts and bruises. Nothing bad, though."
Option 2: Call the guard
If charisma >40, happiness +5, Money +5*2d6
"placeholder"
else happiness - 15
"They don't trust you. It makes you feel useless and unliked.
Option 3: Don't do anything
intelligence - 2
"You feel dumb for not doing anything."
cool
looks pretty cool but the guy is pretty poorly drawn i know you can do better than that
I'm terrible at drawing and animating. I wonder why I use flash when it's mostly drawing and animating.
The problem with the character is that each of the stats affect the limbs, body and head and they all need to look right whatever the outcome. The female version looks better (but only just) though.
As for fixed appearance characters I've used references which feels like cheating.
If I ever do a memoir 3 I might ask for someone who can draw. Or I could get a wacom.
Perhaps it could be possible to have a different upbringing, experience homelessness and imprisonment?
I've thought of those things but not sure how to add them.
Though I've thought some of those could give you a game over which is kind of a cop out.

Everything under "Events", including the subcategories, refer to the location/premise, yes?
BlueFlameSkulls
Yep.
