what could i say nealos?

as great as it have been all the times, your cj.

but im really awaitin your Las Ventura update!
btw: Las Ventura is grammatically wrong. La ventura (the luck) or las venturas (the lucks)
but its just a name

anyways, keep on buildin this great region!

[nealos101 20]

Thanks for noticing that 'error' there GMT, that's the whole idea! lol. Las Ventura is still a little while away im afraid, SF needs to be at least 65% finished first :-( - that's my limit. I wanted to use the luck not only becuase I would be copying San Andreas if I used the latter, but also becuase the little story behind it. Thanks for comments!

[jacqulina 162]

you are welcome

Update 50

Los Porablos International News Flash

Radio KSIM: *Funky Music* News, Sports, Weather, Club De Ja Vu, and of course... Chit-chat.  Only on 67.98-68.7 KSIM. - K - SIM -

 

50.1 Construction crews finish the taxiways at termainals 1 and 2.

 

Chit-Chat Host: Good morning San Portelliolites it's a b-e-a-utiful sunny summer moring with highs of 25 degrees centigrade.  It's going to be a breeze! Today I have Governer Nealos in on the show with Ex-Actor Stephen Equinox.  Hello guys...

 

Me: Hi.

 

Equinox: Hello.

 

Chit-Chat Host: Governer Nealos, today's topic is the LPX construction, where is it going? Do we see any point of the airport even being back on-line by the time year 215 finishes?

 

Nealos: Ugh, I've been told already that Terminals 1 and 2 are fully operational as we speak and...

 

*SHOOOOOOOM! Plane flies overhead.*

 

50.2 Terminal Two... Emergency runway out of proportion with respect to highway sitting right in front of it.  Oh well - planes miss it by inches anyway! lol.

 

Nealos: Next question please...

 

Chit-Chat Host: Hey... I run the show here, not you.  You might run the whoel state but doesn't mean to say you can boss me around!

 

50.3 Terminal 3 - still under construction and undergoing occupancy tests.

 

Nealos: The third terminal is finished but is still running some tests... we'll expect a full opening next year as shceduled.  I beleive you have a question for Equinox?

 

Equinox: I flew in and arrived at Terminal 1.

 

Chit-Chat Host: Right... I didn't even ask...

 

Nealos: And yes, Los Porablos is still doing fine, as well as San Fernandes.

 

Chit-Chat Host: But what of the suspicious other two c-

 

Nealos: -Ventura suffered a flood last week and Georgetown has a... Wasp... Problem.  Any news stories derving from the cities are cut off until everything is sorted.  The Human Wasp does not exist, he does not save Georgetown from the killer Gang of the mafia nor does he have a secret identity of a rich person.

 

Equinox: I couldn't agree less Governer, that wasp myth is pathetically out-of-date.

 

Chit-chat Host: But I didn't even ask...

 

Nealos: The question? Of course you didn't - you are a flee to my power, bow down and polish my shoes turmite! Bwahahahaha!

 

*Music plays and chit-chat show cut off*

 

KSIM: *Funky Music* News, Sports, Weather, Club De Ja Vu, and of course... Chit-chat.  Only on 67.98-68.7 KSIM. - K - SIM -

 

50.4 The Airport so far.

 

50.5 Transportation Network showing all three terminals.

 

That's the end of the Los Porablos update... Next...

 

 

San Fernandes, A MySim life...

 

Part 3 - New Digs

 

Hey! Johnny Sim here,

 

How you all doing? I'm fine thanks - I just want to say hi again...

 

Well; after the navy gig I got shipped off to the north side of the Basin, working with the hard-caps, the turkish delights, the perfected doghnut-flavoured bullets and the jelly-icings that made a cop who he really is.  Yep... I quit the navy and became a cop.  Bob followed shortly after me.

 

So; sit back and relax, and watch the third part of my story unfold...

 

San Fernandes, A MySim Life...

 

50.6 This part of the city is taking it's time to devlop, and the police force around here are second only to HQ in Bobinator Financial... It's a tough neighborhood, real tough...

 

I handed in my resignation when the police force rang me and said I got the job.  10 weeks of training later, I was on the beat and started off as a squad-driver.

 

My adventures were poor and nothing really happened say for the resin counts of the Triads, and the Dave-Boy-green antics of the North-side Drugsters.  It all exploded when Bob joined me on beat, us two alone against the word that was the Dusktrooper Valley...

 

50.7 Nothing was happening until a man was thrown out a window onto the car to the left of this shot.

 

It was scary, I hit the brakes, took a sharp turn, lit the sirens and boom! Moved in with maximum effort required.  Bob got his gun, I got mine, and we took the risk...

 

50.8 An SUV pulled up behind us - it was the undercover agents.

 

The moved in quietly through the back door.  Our big break was coming...

 

BANG! Some one shot at Bob, I shot at him... He was down.  Another gunblast - one of the agents was down and the asailant stole one of the vehicles parked across the street! The timer was ticking down! We called for assistance!

 

50.9 Not too far away, a squad car heard the commotion and came to our rescue.

 

I hopped into the van and chased the asailant down the road, calling a police chopper.  Bob stayed and cared for the wounded Agent...

 

50.10 The helicopter chased the criminal down the road...

 

I forced the asailant to panic, and in his frustration, the squad car coming in to help us hit him intentionally, and disabled him.  He was arrested and the squad car driven to the station.  I drove back the complex, got the ambulance crews coming...

 

50.11 The aircraft took off...

 

50.12 The copter lifted the wounded to saftey and took them back.

 

I was left alone, I drove the van home.  I got out and walked the saddened walk to the police station.  The squad car that was helping us was parked in front of it, all smashed up and lights still flashing.

 

It seems we busted one of Al Cappichino's kidnappers, the drug lord Eddie Porablos.  Soon to be my freind for reasons best left unknown until later, he was convicted and sent to prison on Alcatraz island for a year.  During that time I got promoted to captain, and Bob too, but in the end we had to move on, as life offered a new doorstep...

 

Bob had found the love of his life... But I was left to be alone in my apartment up the avenue and down 51st...

 

50.13 Top left, glass buildings is where I live...

 

Anyway, this part of town was eventually getting better.  Step by step, peice by peice, San Fernandes was being improved.  I can only say it could get worse when Cappichino rises... again...

 

50.14 Al Cappichino is hiding there... I know he is...

 

Next part of the story is Cappichino taking over Fernandes, before me fighting back his druggies and crime asailants.  Perhaps then Ill get married...

 

50.15 Radio KSIM... BANG!

 

He he heee....

 

That concludes part 3... stay tuned for more...

 

50.16 I like it

 

captain_cookie: Hold your horses... I mean camels... It's on the way - not long before I can discard SF for a few moments... Thanks for the comments!

 

Any more comments really appreciated and thanks to all those that have! 50th UPDATE!!!! WOOOOOO!

 

Nealos101.

[lookinin 2]

Congratulations on your 50th update! You've worked hard in this CJ and it really shows! Awesome job & beautiful update!

Update 51

Los Porablos Main Story - Act 1

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/4471/nealos101mainstoryact1header2s.jpg align=middle vspace=10>

Act 1: Eddie and The Mafia - Introduction

 

The Story of Eddie Porablos is not a kind one, neither is it bad or cruel, but I would say it was justly what became of him.  I remember it all well; right down to day one...

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Mafia%20Big%20Business.JPG width=799 align=baseline>

 

It was my second month into policing, and the city of Los Porablos is as dark as it always was... Triad killings... Mafia murders... Greens taking out the Reds and the Blues just standing around smoking Fishing Sticks.  My equiry led me to the above spot.  Al Cappichino's resturant - home to the world's most destructive corporation and ruthless gang core.  If the police in Los Porablos were to bust this joint, the city itself would be proclaimed safest city in the world.

 

But it wasn't, so i was forced to continue...

 

The men the cops wanted were a sad bunch, and I myself have had frightful dealings with them, and soon I'll be in the clan, fighting to win respect and worse of all, fighting for the common good under the shadow of darkness.

 

The men the authorities couldn't wait to get their hands on:

 

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/2773/nealos101update51000072dk.jpg align=baseline>

Al Cappichino

Age: 56

Rank: Mafia Lord, the big boss of the world of Simnation troubled by the Mafia

Wanted For: Conspiracy to pervert the court of justice, Murder of a witness, Breeching the Organised Crime Act, Bank Robbery, Streaking, Murder of a Police Officer and Murder of a convicted civilian.

Target Rank: 87.7%

 

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/4359/nealos101update51000016yx.jpg align=baseline>

Don Spaggehti

Age: 27

Rank: Mafia Don, leader of the Los Porablos Mafia Gang Clan

Wanted For: Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, money-laundering, illegal gambling, employment of hitman resulting in 7 murders, murder of a convicted citizen, murder of a police officer, streaking and drug-handling.

Target Rank: 92.7%

 

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/3465/nealos101update51000005yy.jpg align=baseline>

Winston Cinatit

Age: 31

Rank: Bookie, Spaggethi's right hand mobster, deals with the cashflow of the mob in Porablos.

Wanted For: Gambling, Breeching the Organised Crime Act and money-laundering

Target Rank: 45.5% - A good witness if caught

 

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/6258/nealos101update51000118ut.jpg align=baseline>

Dirk Redwood

Age: 34

Rank: Cappichino's right hand man, dealing with the legal confrontations of court for Cappichino himself.

Wanted For: Perverting the court of justice, Failing to stop at a crosswalk, Conspiracy to protect a felon, Conspiracy  to protect a crooked police officer, and teepeeing.

Target Rank: 67.9%

 

http://img24.echo.cx/img24/7479/nealos101update51000097uc.jpg align=baseline>

Johnny 'Screwball' Pristalli

Age: 52

Rank: Local Gangster, doing the dirtywork of the mob

Wanted for: Murder of an innocent civilian, murder of a police officer, murder of a convicted citizen, inflicting brutual grevious bodily harm on an imprisoned criminal, destroying a federal prison, bank robbery, streaking, teepeeing and possessing a dangerous weapon in a banned area

Target Rank: 77.2%

 

All of these men make the business work, and it is time to put them all to a stop before they becomes apparent to the governers.  I began my quest to get into the mob after I discovered the clan entering Cappichino's resturant...

 

http://img11.echo.cx/img11/9059/nealos101update51000108pt.jpg align=baseline>

Outside the resturant, I waited until they left...

 

And then, I got into their secret meeting room and planted a little microphone to listen to their conversation.

 

I got home, fell asleep, woke up the next day and went back to the resturant and listened in to their conversation...

 

http://img11.echo.cx/img11/1449/nealos101update51000038xk.jpg align=baseline>

Cappichino: Our interview with Porablos was very entertaining, I beleive this man is what we need to fulfill Samilnella's position after that unfortunate accident.  What do you think Spaggethi?

 

Spaggehti: I think it's a good idea, however, how do we know he's trustworthy?

 

http://img11.echo.cx/img11/7853/nealos101update51000044ks.jpg align=baseline>

Cinatit: He'll last for a month or so until we find a new gangster, but until that time sir, he'll make a fine addition to the family.

 

Redwood: That's a great way to get us open to the cops, we'll need some more mobsters to get you into safety.  The legal assets need to be protected with force, not by layer.

 

Spaggehti: Maybe you shouldn't of posted that man to the wall, Screwball...

 

Screwball: Hmm...

 

http://img11.echo.cx/img11/992/nealos101update51000053qp.jpg align=baseline>

Screwball: Id much prefer we discuss this over dinner, perhaps at your daughter's birthday sir?

 

Cappichino: Ah yes, grand idea son, grand, we'll deal with that tomorrow... next item of business...

 

http://img11.echo.cx/img11/2930/nealos101update51000128nj.jpg align=baseline>

The more I listened the more I was intreaged... so was the person behind me reading a newspaper but also wondering what I was doing...

 

...To Be Continued...

[nealos101 20]

Oh... shame, the video doesn't matter, what counts is the cities!

On other notes, Nealos101 may not be able to update for a small while becuase he's had an op on his foot and I have to keep it up, which puts me in a very aquard position when im at the computer so I won't be able to continue San Portello for a short while.

 

Very sorry, and I'll try to release at least one pic for you soon.

 

Nealos101.

[PhilsCafe 8]

You're right: What matters are the cities and they look great. I like that Las Vegas welcome sign copy for Las Ventura. Well done.

I hope you'll get better soon.

[lookinin 2]
