RRRR Aprils Fools Contest - with prizes *closed*

Ha, I got you!
I know you have been dreaming about this, and now it is a reality, here and now, in this very forum, the Random Runtime Roulette Render Aprils Fools Contest. As your might understand by the name, this incarnation of the RRRR contest is themed, and the theme is as you probably also have guessed, Aprils Fool.
Who can play?
Anyone can play!
How do you prepare yourself for play?
The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list.
Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick 4 items from your list (your Runtime). You can use items from any store.
Special Aprils Fools rule: If you were among the lucky bastards that won a prize in the last RRRR, you're so fortunate that you need to pull a fifth item, yes that's right, a fifth item. If you did win two prizes last RRRR, you have to pick six items this round. II bet you'll laugh when I make my six item pull, but beware;-)
Randomizer that works well: Random Org
There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:
- You picked something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc.
- You picked a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You picked only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You picked an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!
Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from V4 Complete Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.
The rules of madness!
Now you have successfully picked four items (or five or six items if you were a lucky bastard last contest), make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum.
As the theme is Aprils Fool, the scene should at least touch the subject.
There are two categories, Funniest and Best, you get it.
A fun render might maybe not be a super great render but will cause the viewer to fall of the chair laughing.
Contest duration!
It stats now, and will go on until Sunday April 21 23:59:59 DAZ local time. That's a month of foolish madness, enjoy it while it lasts.
Yes, we have prizes, thanks to our sponsors!
This months sponsors so far:
Jaderail (Now officially known as RRRR core sponsor) is sponsoring with a $20 DAZ GC (as usual).
Luci45 is sponsoring with a $20 DAZ GC.

I myself will add an item of choice from my store for the winner in each category (which I cannot say where it is to avoid making this a commercial thread), but winners will be noticed by PMs when the time comes.
If you want to sponsor this RRRR, send me a PM or post in the thread!
More to know?
I will might edit this when new info on sponsors arrive.
Maximum number of entries?

Guess when my wife's birthday is...
...yep.
You can enter your birthday render then ;-)
Need to add all my madness stuff to my RRRR spreadsheet so I can pull...
I know I keep saying I will try to get one done and I do try but too be totally honest I can never think of any cool or funny to do. Now if I could render my face then you could all have a laugh...I do.
OK, my first pull, with five items!
Parkside High Poses
Gargoyle Hound Poses
Jungle Hideaway
Sushi Time One
Veranda House (Poserdirect)
:-) :lol: :cheese: %-P :roll:
After entering everything new into the system, I make a pull mostly containing only with old, very old and ancient stuff ;-)
Shin Tokai (The New City)
Ravenna
Salsa Hair
DMs Circle
Real Woman 001
Sepulture
Thats two V3 characters, a M3/M4 male hair, Three prop/environment sets (one with V4/Genesis poses), but I think I can handle it.
This sounds like a fun one! I'm glad you mentioned this in the JAS thread because this was already on page 2 by the time I logged on.
I will post my pulls in the near future (almost used the "s" word) but things are a little crazy here with RL stuff right now. I just wanted to post and bump this back to the first page for now. :)
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!
Oh, you bet I'm in!
First pull:
450 - Nature for Enchanted Wings
816 - Swimming Pool
314 - Dream Home: Foyer and Living Room Furniture - London
460 - Daiquiri Dress for V4
Um, does the fact that this pull is pretty much an April Fool's joke all by itself count?
Okay, I can do this....
Can somebody toss some dice for me, please? :)
Diapason up to 4248

Thanks, Totte!
The results:
The DragonBraid for Victoria 4
Wolf Leathers
Headphones
HouseMouse
Totte, what is your diapason?
I think it has something to do with inflation but it's constantly changing (specially this month) so I post it when it's time for a pull, last was 3311, but now it is 3316...... and counting (just like that female voice in the Villains nest at the end of a James Bond movie)...
But I think I've done pretty well as I bought my first item, Sultana, in April 26, 2010, but started "for real" in September 2010.
90- Bulldozer
739-Shelter (redraw, the previous number in this slot got me a tutorial)
755-So Real Niamh (hair texture)
949-WWII Jeep Plus (addon for WWII Jeep)
So Jeep and Niamh Hair are implicit in what I've drawn. Getting some interesting ideas.
Ok, here are four numbers from the same generator :)

Cool! Always good to have a second source!
Excel (2007 and later) also has a passably-decent Random() function, so if you keep your runtime list in an Excel spreadsheet, that's another alternative. (Unfortunately, I use a version prior to that - and see no compelling need to upgrade just to help pay Ballmer's electric bill - so I'm kinda SOL in that respect!)
This one should be very interesting! Put me in for another $10 gift certificate as well, Totte. I'll work on a pull when I have my list updated... :P
Totte#1

V3 + full morphs + Bombshell V3 + V3 Outlander

Campus zombie apocalypse Aprils Fool prank
They lured campus guard Jackson out to the old college cemetery to play a prank, it went a little too well. They never had to show a hall pass ever again.
Who will pull for me?
Diapason up to 3116
Remember, six items (for being a lucky bastard twice last time).
OK, here goes my first pull of the month...
1011 = Parkside High Lobby
808 = Modern Lawnmower
445 = Maces and Cudgels
708 = Dream Home Garage
Mmm - a bit heavy on the buildings and hardware, but plenty of scope for extras.
PS: Nice prank, Totte - you've got us off to a good start. :)
Oh, I did one pull in this post but I'll add two more
So number are 741 2736 2530 2887 and 1414 1771 :)
I want to play! But, I don't understand how to make my list. Is there a program that will compile the list for me, or do I have to do it manually? Also, should I take out figures such as Michael 5, Aiko 4, etc? Do I include morph packages, texture sets, props, etc? I don't know what to include. I understand taking out plugins, software, etc, but don't get the rest of the rules.
Simples way to play is to use DIM (DAZ Install Manager), select all in your "installed tab", then rightclick and do Export as CSV, and import into your favorite spreadsheet.
Only remove things from the list that doesn't work, or things that are for a specific program, for example if you will render nd DS, exclude Poser lightsets or carrara shaders.

Sorry, missed that post, OK, line is coming.
Pull #2 (or result of Kattey's pull for me)
#741 2009 Argon Fleet 3DS (Rendo)
#2736 Skyrider
#2530 Roman Times
#2887 SY Peasant Tunic G (Rendo)
#1414 Easy Environments Eternal Sands
#1771 Hr-073 (Rendo)
OK, Two hairs, a peasant tunic, a Scifi car, some spaceships, (12 untextured space ship models in 3DS format, a real challenge of its own ) and a large desert environment, I feel the force is strong with this one.
Thanks, Totte... that will work. Now, to expand on the question, let's say I have Casual Male for M5 (which I do). Does my list just say Casual Male and I use the whole outfit, or does my list have pants, shirt, boots listed and only one of those will come up with the randomizer? Also, are shaders and items installed by manual methods included? How about items bought in another marketplace?
If you pull "Casual male" which is an item, you gotta use it, maybe not every item (some have 9 items in a set), but the majority. For other market places, I spent some good time going through all the lists and copy/paste to a spread sheet. For manually installed shaders/plugins they can be ignored if you want, or added, your call, just get list, pull and render. You can make one pull now, then add your stuff from other markets and then make your second pull with more stuff (it always increases between pulls, specially during March madness or PA sales.

My first draw was: 120, 34, 45, 23

I personally think these are too easy to put together, as they are all male or neutral items. If it pleases the powers that be, I'd like to use my second draw, which was: 125, 17, 32, 104
Zac Hair for Genesis
Boots & Belt for Supersuit
Freak 4 (can I use the Genesis morph instead of the actual Freak 4 Base figure?)
