Nesopolis

[germanicus12]

The Police Chief enters the mayors office.

Cheif Byrd: Sir, we have 4 Patrol cars guarding all entrances into Logan, we have asked the fire department to provide water hoses should an attack in the form of a mob come. 4 more Patrol cars are watching the city and will act as reserves.

Mayor Zabriskie: Excellent, I have tapped into our city supplies and noticed that we have surplus of men and equipments. *chuckles evilly*

Chief Byrd: Excellent sir, New Las Vegas wont know what hit them. Would you like to head the defence of the city if we sound the alarm?

Mayor Zabriskie: Hell yes, we will fight to the death, get down to the local news press and have them print out an article,

"Citizens of Logan, Logan has openly closed their borders to New Las Vegas, the Mayor feeling that New Las Vegas will not be happy about this has increased the number of police at the borders. Mayor Zabriskie will head the defence of the city if an attack comes, he would like all citizens to come to the defence of Logan when the alarm is raised. Guns will be provided from the local stores, but only citizens 18 or older can get one, if you are younger and want to participate then get your hands on anything you can, rocks, sticks etc."

@Lord Iggy I have sent a PM of secret orders to you.

Great update!

I was wondering, is there a ‘stonehenge’ landmark or something similar that could be built?

FROM: Neo Highlandcow
TO: Nesopolis
We send our condolences to all those affected by the recent violence.

FROM: Neo Highlandcow
TO: Renograd
We congratulate you on the building of eco-friendly wind turbines. We wish to donate one of our highland cows to your village, as a sign of friendship.

FROM: Neo Highlandcow
TO: Greenville
We don’t want your dirty factories here. Please don’t expand further north.
---

Now orders:

Neo Highlandcow building orders:
Build a fountain (or a park or something) in a nice central, open area. This will be a memorial to all the people who died when the ‘NAO Chi Minh City Tower’ collapsed.

Concentrate growth towards more farmland. But we want to leave at least one little patch of woodland untouched, somewhere close to the centre of our village.

If a ‘farmers market’ reward appears (I remember something like that), we will do anything to have it placed in Neo Highlandcow! We will attempt to get this at the expense of anything else.

Neo Highlandcow ‘background’ orders:
*The druids will perform outdoor rituals in our fields, to try to gain the blessing of mother earth. Some druids will also climb to the top of the mountain, to see if there are any injured people or animals that we can help. While they are up there, they will look for remote areas that we could use for hiding ‘things’

* We will try to forge links with the other farming communities throughout Nesopolis. And we will secretly begin growing some ‘illegal’ crops, hopefully we can exchange these for guns on the black market…

*We shall form several volunteer militia units to defend our lands in these dangerous times. At this time, the militia will not tolerate interference from city officials. We don’t want health+safety inspectors, and we don’t want your dirty foreign doctors laying hands on our kids (we don’t really want police either, but we don’t want a big confrontation with them).

*We will send environmental protestors to disrupt that power station/factory that has been built south of us, in what appears to be northern Greenville. We must halt the spread of Greenville’s industry at all costs. If Greenville expands further north, we will attempt to disrupt work on their building sites, calling upon the powers of the druids if necessary.

*In other areas, we will try to be more tolerant of the corrupt capitalist society, in the hope of getting a bit more development and income coming into Neo Highlandcow.

edit: sorry if this is too much, you know what im like with writing things im not bothered about those specifics really, i just hope you get the general idea

BlackBanana Orders

• Continue expanding the industry all around - especially westward with only just enough residential to keep the industry churning goods out.
• Build more police stations to keep the unruly mob in order
• Build anything that would contribute to pollution
• If it ever gets near other towns, build a wall (or something to block THEIR expansion and push all the way to the wall
• Climb up the NAO ruins and find survivors. "Rescue" them, lobotomise them, and put them to work.
• Open pleasure houses (with entertainers who are above the age of consent, of course) which good and compliant workers can go to as a reward
• Build a random marina by the coast so that my private yacht can land there

To be honest, I think only two of my orders there can be enacted in SimCity.

 

[Swissempire]

OOC: Close up please

ody F*CKING HELL” exclaimed the stressed out Chip as he threw papers to the floor. He was stuck in bed with the stomach flu.

“I take one f*cking day off and we almost get absorbed by Greenville, GREENVILLE!”

A little advisor in a funny monkey suit replied, “Yes, Greenville”

“Shut up”

“Okay”

“Now, I need to think of something. Maybe we should join this union…”

“Maybe”

“Shut Up”

“Okay”

“Perhaps we can work together, kinda like Bosnia and Herzegovina”

“Perhaps”

“Shut up”

“Okay”

“But that leaves one final question, would we be the Bosniaks or the Croats?”

“Umm…the Croats?”

“But their greedy @$$hats because they have Croatia AND Herzegovina”

“True, so would we be the Bosniaks?”

“Hells no, they’re pussys. I mean they’re in a union with CROATS! Ka-jeez”

“So maybe we shouldn’t do the union..”

“Shut up”

“Okay”

But just then the sky’s darkened. Several Clover shaped ships hung over Chipton. The people looked on in awe. The largest 4 Leafed UFO landed, and out stepped a funny Irish midget. I suppose the term Leprechaun is more appropriate. Several Battalions of Leprechauns departed the ship as well, and secured Chipton with ease. The leader Leprechaun, who’s name tag read Swiss E. M. Pire, and he marched forward to the house that Chip Sinton was in. Bursting open the door, and climbed the stairs to the Bedroom. He then entered the Bedroom and looked upon the shaking Chip Sinton.

“Top o’ the mornin’ to ya”

“Who are you…” Chip Sinton asked.

“who who who who…Good AC/DC song” Swiss replied

“Actually, I think you’re think of Who made Who by AC/DC. The song you’re thinking of is…”The Monkey Advisor started to say

But Swiss killed killed him with a shiny sword.

“Shut up”.

Chip Sinton stared at the corpse of his monkey suit Advisor, “Damn.”

The Leprechaun looked at Chip, “Now, I’m here because you suck at Mayoring. So I’m going to take over your body, and lead Chipton to a glorious future. But this story is running long.” So Swiss snapped his fingers, and it was the next day. He was in the body of Chip, and Chipton had no more Leprechauns in it. And although there were still reports of UFO’s, Chiptons future was brighter than ever.

To: Greenville
From: Chipton

We will never join in a union with you, but we would like to set a border. The Grey road that divides the Commercial Zoning and your “town” should be our border. Administrative border of course.

Good Day

*The drum rolls of a military march are heard in the distance. A cloud of dust forms on the horizon. The beats grow louder, and a line of specks slowly grows into a full on military convoy. Leading the line of huge camouflaged semi-trucks is a tiny jeep displaying the proud banner of Nesopolis. Standing inside the jeep is the shiny shaded, cigar chomping, General Roden. Once in the middle of nowhere, he signals for the convoy to halt. He hops out of the jeep and surveys the land.*

Gen. Roden: Alright, men! This is the spot! By order of the Greater Regional President, we have been sent here to defend this greater metropolitan area from further alien attack! They cannot hope to hold out against the xeno threat with mere bulldozers forever! This area is in need of some massive firepower! Get out your sand bags and 2x4's, men! We're settling in!

I want Fort Roden in the spot in the center of Esptonia, Bordo Everest, and Black Banana

Orders sorted by priority since I don't know how much we can build:

An army base to train infantry

Barracks (medium to high density residential) to house the Nesopolitan Guard.

Lower density residential to comfortably house officers.

A factory to build tanks or something.

A MASH unit (hospital)

@Iggy, perhaps you should do some sort of borders map, to avoid the confusion of my claims.

To whoever was already in my claims
From Stalintopia

Woopsie, communications error. The messenger has been disposed of.

 

[Reno]

To: Neo Highlandcow
From: Renograd

We accept your gift. May friendship between our two communities last forever.

 

[Xtream_Rockstar]

You misunderstood, this is only the defence force in case you invade us, I did not mention an invasion force anywhere or even hinting one.

Does anyone know how to merge pictures together in Paint Shop Pro 3? I don't want to upload all these pictures.

No updates for a few days regrettably, as I have final exams for the next 3 days. And another next Monday.

So update's on the weekend.

 

[Niklas]

Does anyone know how to merge pictures together in Paint Shop Pro 3? I don't want to upload all these pictures.

Easiest way is to create a new blank image with a large enough frame, then mark and copy the relevant details of the other images and paste them side by side in the new image. Low-tech, but it works (and I know of no better way).

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Pasting always results in a new image for some reason.

 

[Niklas]

There are different paste commands. In my version (7), Ctrl-v gives you a new image, Ctrl-e gives you a new selection to place in the selected image. You should be able to find these under the Edit menu (if version 3 supports them that is).

 

[Sheep]

To Neo Highland Cow.
From Greenville

We own the power station my friend, do not tell us what to do. If there is land to be developed, and you are not using it, do not expect us to stay off it. We regret that the industrial sector of our municpality is so close to your own, but think of the benefits of your own people as many would work in those factories and reside in your small township.

 

[Sheep]

To Chipton
From Greenville

The Commercial district you built, bordering the residential zones we built, this juridictional boundary we can agree to. However we would like to ask you then, when will you be paying for the power that our great municpality provides you with, and also would you like to help fund the expansion of the bus services that many Greenvillians take for granted into your own sleepy town.

 

[Swissempire]

To: Greenville
From: Chipton

We will be taking care of our power, but we thank you for your offer. Perhaps in the future we can pay for your power.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I can't really design a system to make people pay for their power Sheep. Sorry.

 

[The Farow]

Farow was along in his office with his obsession.

He looked at the papers in front of him reporting the rare Colossus Kuhli Loach measuring over 20 feet long. Farow randomly approving various important civic duties so he could wire a large sum of money that would forever make the town famous. A good size lake was to be built in the center of the town to house this famous loach for tourism.

Several weeks latter on a large boat at port…

A line of bureaucrats from various parts of the city were called by Mayor Farow to serve as his well it is a surprise but will not be in a few moments.

Mayor Farow: “I have called you all here today to serve your city by brining in millions in revenue from tourism.”

*Various shouts of happiness*

Mayor Farow: “That is why you will serve as bait for the infamous Colossus Kuhli Loach which has well a rather large appetite. So I though what does this city have too much of and bureaucrats immediately popped into mind.”

*Suddenly sleeping darts are fired into the crowd from various angles of unknown sources*

Mayor Farow: “When do we set sail captain”

Captain: “Very Soon”

A few days latter on the ocean in a large boat with crying bureaucrats hanging off the side of the boat…

Shipmate: “Captain, I saw something large moving under the boat”

Captain: “The bait is working… The loach could not resist such a perfect meal”

Mayor Farow: “Prepare the underwater compartment”

*Suddenly the bottom of the boat opens up and the loach swims inside. Unfortunately only 5 of the 25 Bureaucrats were eaten*

Captain: “Head for shore we got the prize of the century”

Mayor Farow: “I finally got a Loach!!! Stupid advisors telling me to look in a pet store…”

The pond was prepared ad Mayor Farow began to search for a proper mate. He failed to realize that he accidentally signed a bill into law growing the bureaucratic system.

Orders

-Dig a giant hole in the open areas of the city for the loach. Build commercial zones along it to provide nice souvenirs after people see my loach.
-Declare allegiance to Lord Iggy in the event of a civil war. Thlalyi is considered a rogue state in that event.
-Build a port and expand industry.
-Keep the water clean by building a water treatment plant.
-Pray we do not go hopelessly into debt

OCC: Not really funny. More stupid but I need to go soon and do homework. I needed to write at least one story .
