Before 2000 there was a time called the "Empty Millenia". In this time, the world was empty, and no-one knew why - but then a mighty game franchise was founded. The Sims. With The Sims, came to the world plumbobs, and smustle, llamas and motherlode and 'woohoo'. Circa 2005, a home for that franchise was founded - the mighty Forum of Boolprop has risen, fallen and risen once more. But now, eleven years after its creation, there is a call to arms. Five great houses have risen underneath the cloudy springtime of 2016 and settled themselves in the newly refurbished capital of Boolprop.net, and they are taking comrades-in-arms - what house will choose you? Where will your alignments lie? And which house, ultimately, will triumph victorious?

It's like Game of Thrones, but instead of thrones there's floor plates.
Massive thanks to Keika for her suggestion in our suggestions forum!
Yep! You heard it here first, folks. We're starting up an epic, site-wide team event. The Great Boolpropian Olympics will be, for the foreseeable future, an ongoing event. Everyone who joins on the sign-up thread here will be invited to one of our five Great Houses - House Llama, House Motherlode, House Plumbob, House Smustle and House Woohoo. Upon joining one of the five great houses, comrades-in-arms (*cough*members*cough*) can compete in events and competitions to win points for their house, and will be able to access special House Member only sub-forums where they can discuss their plans for victory strategy . But wait, there's more! Points will also be awarded for reaching for things like reaching certain post counts, and completing and starting published sims challenges. (How exciting!) See the Scorecard below for more information on that.
But what do we get for earning the most points?, you ask - well that's simple. Every 3 months, we'll do a final tally of the points won for each house; and the Great House with the most points becomes the Greatest House for the next three months. Each House member will be given a rank image that represents their house (similar to the namebars underneath the name of Boolprop Staff), and the winning house every month will get their rank image bordered to denote their house as one of great prestige. If a House should achieve anything great, I wouldn't be surprised if there were medals on the line as well...
Of course, the points are reset every three months, so it's a fresh start for every house and every Great House has the chance to storm ahead to become the Greatest - which of course every house is capable of doing.

House Llama: I'm scared of this house, aren't you? It's got llamas with boxing gloves as it's symbol. Boxing gloves!
House Motherlode: Unlike the name implies, I'm sure none of these house-members have ever cheated once.
House Plumbob: Fans of late-night stargazing may find this reference to plumbobs a bit heavy-handed. I say, it's better than "House Pollination Technician".
House Smustle: Ah yes, the Smustle. The absolute bane of any free will player's existence. But at least they make fun faces, whether they measure up to potty training faces or not, I do not know.
House Woohoo: Photobooths, double beds, showers, elevators, cars and bushes not included with house membership.
A reminder that if you want to partake in our House event, you need to sign up in this thread and show your interest. If we get enough interest this will definitely be an event that will be great fun and a great thing to partake in. You will also be invited to a house, as opposed to choosing one - but there's something of an element of pleasant surprise in that, no? Invites will be sent out a little bit after you post - feel free to list if you want to be a part of any house specifically or if you'd rather not be in a certain house and we'll be sure to account for that
