Got to dot. With 85 minutes of devotion. For everyone who's simply dotty about Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here.
Another one recommended by the excellent Rob Vorter. Rock band Tycoon. And we've had lots of tycoons in the past. Let's see how this one fares.
Alexa, open Rock band Tycoon. Welcome back. Should we buy a status symbol today? The rest of your band, Straight Edge, just fold up to the studio.
Say, get status or tell me what you would like to do next. Get status? I'm straight in there, aren't we? All right.
Straight Edge has $5,000 in band bucks and 10 fans. Your band's happiness is at 100% and your approval from critics is 50%. Straight Edge has 96 hours of energy and more energy will arrive in less than an hour. You have seven days until retirement.
Tell me what you want to do. You can write a song, market band, find a gig, practice, rest, band management, or get status. Wow. Practice makes perfect.
Well, during the practice, we used two hours and got a 13% bump in critic approval. Critic approval is 63%. Say, get status or tell me what you would like to do next. Play a gig.
What's that one? Um, your band will gain popularity in band bucks but lose happiness and critic approval. Playing a gig takes about two hours of energy. With more fans, we can get better gigs.
The only gig available is local dive bar. No. For example, say, local dive bar. Market band.
All right. Straight Edge has $5,000 in band bucks. More options will open up with more band bucks. Okay.
With more fans, Straight Edge can get better gigs. Advertising takes about two hours of energy. Okay. Say, advertise, followed by the medium.
Your options include street flyering for $2,500. Wow. Social media for $1,000. Or you can advertise via, for example, say, advertise on social media.
Advertise on social media. I couldn't find that advertising medium, or you can't afford it yet. Oh. Please say, advertise for a complete list of options.
Say, get status or tell me what you would like to do next. Advertise flyer. I couldn't find that advertising medium, or you can't afford it yet. Please say, advertise for a complete list of options.
Say, get status or tell me what you would like to do next. Advertise. I should concentrate, shall I? Come.

Stop. That's why I'd like to do it next. See you later. Oh, not even a riff on the way out.
Okay, Rob. Really sorry, but I've lost the will to carry on. Nearly said to live. Hmm.
Very picky. And I'm probably not doing it right. But when you practice, or when you do a gig, I'm sure, you'd want to have sound effects. I'm really hoping there are sound effects in the middle of the skill, not just at the intro.
Hmm. Rock band tycoon. Give it a go, guys. It sounds like your thing.
It's definitely a tycoon skill, isn't it? Lemonade stand is my best one. Okie dokie. Thanks, guys.
