A Girlfriend Theory.

[Mayor99]

After buying everything from Private Jets to Private Islands, you begin to wonder - what should you spend your hard-earned cash on...

In a Real Life, what do you need a Girlfriend for?
- to keep you happy (you want to be happy!)
- to eventually marry you and give you a baby or two. What do you need babies for? They cost you fortune from crèche to College!
- to keep you happy (you want to be happy!)
- so you can have someone looking after you when you're old, so you don't die alone.

In NSS Mobile Game, what do you need a GF for?
- to keep you happy. Err sorry, to keep your happiness bar green.
- to cook you dinner and boost your energy by 25%. Sometimes.

Most of the time though she:
- crashes your vehicles, costing you a fortune to repair
- demands roses, chocolates and vacations, costing you a fortune for NRG drinks (which are close to 300 bucks after you advance in the Star Rating!)
- if left alone, annoying your boss, again costing you fortune to spend NRG drinks for.

I did not notice any boost in my in-game skills, having the Happiness maxed out to 100%.

So I dumped her.

10 seasons later, with my Happiness at constant 50%, I'm still Man of the Match in almost every game, getting tons of opportunities and scoring hat-tricks. No difference whatsoever before and after.

She ain't going back. Last time I've seen her she took my teammate's Helicopter "for a spin" and cost him 100 bux to repair the dang thing. She cooked him a meal few games after so I guess they're even. Silly him.


Wouldn't it be great, if you could buy an in-game engagement ring (for say your current 10x salary) and propose to your Gal?

Assuming the relationship is maxed out, she would say "Yes" and marry you. Which would cost you 500 bux for a wedding, by the way. And another 300 for the Honeymoon (you still have that Private Island huh?). She would then moan for a bigger house and eventually, give you a BABY.

The little one would cost you a babysitter (-50 bux each week), unexpected illness (-100bux), clothes (-20 bux), baby seat (-50) and the football education (-150). Not to mention sleepless nights (-50 Skills). If you're a "lucky father" to have twins, double that.

But then after reaching 40+ years of age in the Game, your son or daughter would take over and you could play again with their new name, without losing any properties or goodies (you kept your wife happy didn't you? You better - a divorce cost you 50% of everything you ever bought).

Otherwise, you would reach 40+ years of age, your Club would sack your wrinkled bottom and after playing for last few seasons in Quatar, there would be a red GAME OVER and your character is gone into the Football Heaven.


Give us some incentive to get (and keep) an in-game Girlfriend Simon - guys whattaya think???
