Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP

[Jonny]

The same problem John has could be a problem for me too during the weekdays.

I would probably have to download the files anywhere from 4pm to 7pm US Central Time (GMT -6), which would be in the middle of the night in Denmark.

We probably need to find another solution for the file transfering.

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.

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?

Yeah, I know the ftp thing wasn't the best solution, but it was the only solution I could think of...

If somebody has a better idea, please tell

[Adagio]

I'll be moving out April 1, and I believe I will have an ftp running 24 hours a day... but it's about 2 months till then...

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

We'll wait a few days, to see if we can find another solution... if not, I guess you'll have to back out of the game, until we find a solution...

[Adagio]

Should we say, if we haven't got any other solution to the problem, we will play our turn tomorow?

[Eli]

No problems here.

[Adagio]

We'll just play our turn now then, JohnSjVille will be put on ice, until Mayor John-SJ returns

Btw, I have changed the rules: People who begin their city late (or come back to the city after some time, like John-SJ might), should still follow our turns. This means if someone joins in now, he/she may only play two years, not the 6 years he/she is behind (This means according to newspapers, a city created today, will have a date of 2004, and not 2000)


Btw, updated the site:

http://www27.brinkster.com/zcollection/db/index.htm

As you can see, I have uploaded all pictures of the cities (from the right date (I hope)). I have also posted a newspaper, that I haven't posted here...

I just hope the picture sizes doesn't come too high (I have only 30 mb space, on the site, and I'm not planning on buying more space)

[Eli]

Played.

R - 2468(-20%)
C - 950 (+21%)
I - 5192 (+106%)

Osweld - Your city wasnt connected. Please import mine before playing yours.

I need more laborers in my city. I have plenty of unused industrial space.

Btw, I tried to initiate garbage deals with everyone, but i'm not sure that worked.

[Adagio]

Thx Eli, I appriciate you're calculating the +/- %, this makes it a lot easier for me (I'm adding the % next time the site will be updated)...

Btw, I won't be writing the exact %:
23% = 25%
22% = 20%

I you see what I mean...

[Adagio]

I have now played my turn... now avaliable for download:

Population: 7,186 (+ 45%)
Comercial Jobs: 1,093 (+ 40%)
Industrial Jobs: 2,574 (+ 60%)


I have now put busstops everywhere in my city...

[General Ludd]

Kregston

Population: 9282
Commercial Jobs: 1492
Industrial Jobs: 2938

The plans of building a seaport have been put off due to raising concerns over the pollution in Kregston harbour. Instead, the money has been put to use by building a road and railway to Elipolis so that we can ship our garbage there (currently 217 tonnes of garbage every month). We have also built a fire station and a new school, and have put money towards encouraging new developement in under populated areas of the city. (Aswell as hiring a team to find out why no one wants to live next to the mayor)



You can download it here, or on ADG's ftp.

[vovan]

Ummm... ADG? I was playing my next turn, and I accidentally went over two years...

* Vovansim smiles sheepishly. *

I was kind of invloved in some of the problems and didn't notice how a third year passed... Do you want me to submit the city now, or just play one more year and then upload my city when you all are done with the next turn?

Sorry about that, I will try to be more attentive to the date next time.

[Eli]

Can someone explain how the mechanics of neighbor deals work?

Just play one more year (until you have played 1 turn more than us), then upload it WHEN all other players have played this turn (= When they are about to start on the turn, you have already played... )

EDIT: But you do know this gives some problems on the statistics site... I'll just take 50% of what you gain/lose (res/com/ind) for each turn... but this wont look good on the picture, since it'll then look like your city haven't grown the last 2 years... if you understand what I mean...
