Sim City 3000 Play by Forum

Okay I had to do it, its just that time of the year! Im looking for about 4-5 other people interested.
The way it works:
We each take turns playing mayor, after our turn we post the save file for the next person. Each turn will last about 10 years. blahblahblah, yatayata, and so on and so forth. Anyone interested?
if so post here and say "I", I'll get it started after I come home from school.

Aye

Sounds like fun, im in

[Maquiladora]

My game preferences are,

City size - Medium, for a decent save game size.
Difficulty - Medium
Disasters - On
Start date - 1900
Land type - 1st one
Trees - 1st one
Buildings - American
Map - Mountain in middle with coast at one side.

I have World Edition (SC3K Unlimited) so some of these options might not be available in the first SC3K. I think we should play 20 years each or something like that too. This is, of course, if more ppl sign up

[Space05us]

good point, a year limit would be best I just dont think too well in the morning. the number of years can be decided upon later though.

[Space05us]

I think my skills. here it is though...

[Maquiladora]

Um, dont you wanna wait for more people? Okay well ill play my turn.

[Maquiladora]

Okay here it is. We've already had the earthquake of 1912 and the Toxic cloud of 1917 that nearly destroyed our Casino Only minor damage though.

Try to expand towards the coast and build all the crap polluting stuff on the NE side. I dont think we should sell our water or power either because sometimes the deal breaks off and we lose bags of cash.

Sounds like fun, though I think I should wait for SC4, since I don't have the game installed...and I don't want to bother doing it, since I know I'll quickly get tired of the game, since I know that all the annoying parts of the game has been changed in SC4...

But the day SC4 will be released, we should proberbly start a new...ehmmm... PBF....game....

[Maquiladora]

Yeah ill be up for that too. I agree theres some annoying things in SC3K, but thats why i joined a game like this, because its more interesting and fun with more people playing, if only to see all the mistakes they make You should join ADG

I think we should call it Sim City Succession (SCS) game too.

[Adagio]

I might join later (If there's still room, or another game starts...), but I'm just not in the mood to play SC3K at the moment...

[Grumbold]

I can't get SC3000 (original) to run on my new system. It installs, but just won't run.

I'd be interested in SC4 shared management at a later date provided the save game files can squeeze down 56k modems

[Space05us]

ADG is just a horrible mayor and doesnt want to be embarassed. thats okay, we understand...cough...

ahhhh, but PBF is so much more original. Besides I like poking fun at the people who do "PBEM" Civ games when theyre actually posting it on the forum

okay time for me to go be Mayor. I'll try to post the Improved city before I go to school

Damn, how'd you know

No really, I'm a terrible mayor...but you'll see just HOW terrible it is, when SC4 is released

And to be hornest...I always play on easy (or is it very easy, it's called..?), without disasters...and even there, I have a hard time getting started..

But in the last games I play, I try to play on a hard level (Used to play on chieftain in Civ(1+2), but now I'm playing the (little) harder levels...

[Maquiladora]

I generally just play medium because it gives a little challenge without taking ages to get started. On hard level you have to get garbage deals (sometimes power), max security prison and then it takes about 10-15 years to pay off all the loans, then it plays normally again besides the more frequent disasters too but im not sure.

Grumbold, you using XP or somethin? And what happens exactly?

[Space05us]

thats okay I always play at easy
difficulty level from my expeience only changes the amount of starting money. also Im not going to be able to post the city before school, you'll just have to wait about 8 hours


and in civ I normaly play chieftain, even though Im capable of playing Diety. all the difficulty level changes in civ is how much the computer cheats. (theres no such thing as AI)
