Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP

Great idea Vovansim... I'll put newspapers as those on my site too... (if you don't mind)

[vovan]

Not at all. Go ahead.

I'm currently uploading the updated Ocean City.

Ocean City - Populations as of 1904:
R: 9823
C: 1437
I: 3643

Ocean City is still waiting for connections from Elipolis and ADGillage to be built to us.

Mayor ADG on spending spree
4 years ago, ADGille started as a small industry town. All sims where living in Vovanburg, and drove to ADGille's dirty industry to get a job. The industry is still there, in ADGille, but during the last 2 years, sims from all over SimNation have been moving to our town. We now have a larger population than most other cities in San Francisco. We are also among the cities, with the largest number of Commercial Jobs. Mayor ADG has spent a lot of money lately, to make sure there's room for more sims in ADGille

But why do people move to ADGille? Is it because of our good health system? Is it because of our good schools? or is it because of the many jobs avaliable here? Mayor ADG believe it's all of them. Our sims are not the brightest in SimNation, but they are among the brightest in San Francisco, and with the good education we have here, in ADGille, the future looks brighter.

Mayor ADG knows the air in ADGille isn't that clean, as it's supposed to be, but with time he hopes the dirty industry goes away, and welcomes the more clean high tech industry. Also the farmland north to ADGille, wont be forgotten, in fact mayor ADG are planning on making the farmland greater in the near future. "Sure, farmland and high tech industry doesn't fit well together" mayor ADG says, "but San Francisco needs food on the tables too, and somebody has to grow it"...

I did connect to your city, but you have to goto my city, and re-do the road, otherwise your city wont know that a road has been connected (it doesn't auto-connect when importing)

I see Eli has also connected to you, you just need to update your connections through our cities...

[Jonny]

OK, I fixed the connections. should I re-upload my city now with the connections fixed?

[vovan]

No, you don't have to do that. Because the people who you connected with already have the connections. And those who do not have a border with you don't really care. When we upload the six-year mark, everything will come into place any way.

Also, as far as I understand, we are only waiting for San Jose John for his four-year mark? And then we can go on to six years...

[Adagio]

Not necesary, since for me, the connections works fine, and I belive it also works for Eli...

[Jonny]

OK then, so all were waiting for is John-SJ to play his turns, right?

[vovan]

Yipper. But since you don't share a border with him, you can go on already, I think. Just don't upload the new city yet, and don't post the stats here, so that we don't disrupt the flow.

[General Ludd]

You might be able to get the connections to apear by reconciling the borders instead of going into the other's city and changing it. (I haven't tried this with imports though)


By the way, Eli, you didn't connect to my city - you have two cities on your northern border, and I'm on the western half. I'll connect to you on this upcoming turn.

[Adagio]

I'll close my ftp for the night in short time...

[John-SJ]

Sorry for the delay in getting my '04 turn finished. I am trying to get Jonny's city file but it appears ADG's ftp site is down. I keep timing out trying to connect.

John-SJ

edit:
ADG: "I'll close my ftp for the night in short time..."

Oh, well, I guess that explains it.

[John-SJ]

It just occurred to me, I seriously doubt that my participation in this game is going to work.

During the week I will not be able to download the game until somewhere between 5-8 pm pst and with ADG in Europe and shutting his ftp down at night there isn't really a time when I will ahve access to it except on weekends.

I think the best thing for me to do is just bow out gracefully now and leave my city to anyone who might want it.

ADG, you came up with a great idea, good luck to you and all of the SC4 "PBEM" players.

John-SJ

[vovan]

John,

It's kind of bad to loose somebody for such a simple problem... Maybe we could find some other place to host the files?
