How long before they develop the technology to build trains?

[Benedict 3,119]

I think there are some underground trains, if I remember correctly.... and I am always amazed at how big your CJ is for the small area that has been explored and developed. Looking forward to more expeditions!

Schulmanicus: The Emissary

The island of Schulmanicus, ancestral home of Schulmania and the political/religious center of the nation, is often referred to as “the mainland” despite its status as an island because of its great importance to the economy, politics and culture of the realm. In actuality, Schulmanicus accounts now for only 30% of the total population, but that has not diminished it significance. The political capital of the district and of the nation is at Wirt. The religious center is at Temple Terrace, where religious leaders who preside over the Sacred Precinct live and work. Today, something unusual is afoot in Temple Terrace. Let’s stop in and find out what it is.

We’ll visit St. Mooky’s Market, which sits next to the National Seminary. Students from the seminary just left class and strolled over, excitedly talking about an unusual event which happened in class.

St. Mooky’s Market is on the left and the seminary on the right. A newly-erected allegorical statue, “The Mighty Huntress”, is at the right. It was built to commemorate the hunting expeditions to South Wirdleonia, led by the Supreme Wirdle herself.

Students gathered around a table inside the market to sip milk and share the exciting news.

“Is it true?”

“YES! I was there. I saw it myself!”

“Remarkable. Tell me all about it.”

“Indeed. I shall. I was in the classroom when the messenger arrived. It was quite a scene.”

“Really? Tell me everything.”

“I was in Professor Manx’s seminar ‘Theological Implications of Taillessness’ when the door was flung open. A messenger wearing the crest of the Supreme Wirdle strode in and read a proclamation. He said ‘You are hereby requested and required to report to the Bureau of Feline Affairs headquarters at once for a special assignment. Thus spake the Supreme Wirdle.’ Then he turned and walked right out again. Simply amazing.”

“Wow! We have got to find out what’s going on. Let’s see what else is happening about town.”

So, off they went in search of juicy gossip. And, they sure did find it. All over, people were abuzz about a rash of summons being issued by the Supreme Wirdle. What could possibly be going on?

Down in the center of town, on the first terrace, the usual sidewalk crowds were strangely gone. Were they inside, gossiping away, or were they summoned to the BFA offices down the street? Theories abounded.

On the second and third terraces, speculation was rampant. What was the Supreme Wirdle doing? Was there some sort of crisis?

We won’t have to fret, we’ll use our third person narrative and slide on into the BFA offices and find out what’s going on.

For those of us keeping score at home, the Bureau of Feline Affairs building is the one at lower right, on the first terrace. The aforementioned seminary is at top center, on the second terrace.

Let’s head in and see what’s all the fuss.

The leaders were in a serious meeting, discussing the directives which emanated from Wirtyplace.

The assembly got quiet as the Governor-General, who is also the Supreme Wirdle’s older brother, began to describe the mission upon which they were being sent.

“The Supreme Wirdle has received word that there is another group of cats which wish to join the Feline Interplanetary Friendship Association. Since we were abled to successfully develop the FIFA charter at the summit here after the coronation, she has entrusted us with the task of meeting with their leaders and sharing out charter. Perhaps, we will have added our first new member and increased the feline world as a result.”

After answering some questions, he concluded with “We leave tomorrow morning. Get your affairs in order. It may be a while before we sail back.” With that, the group of 18 cats headed out to prepare for their new role – as official FIFA emissaries.

The excited group departed and fanned out across town to pack their bags.

The market was abuzz about word of a special expedition to some unknown location.

On all three terraces, word spread about an upcoming mission – one of great importance.

But, the Governor-General sat anxiously by his patio koi pond, slapping aimlessly at the fish, wondering if this mission would work. Would the ship arrive as the Supreme Wirdle indicated and how would they arrive at a place no one had even been to before? And, could they help save the cats in peril? This would indeed be a perilous voyage…

I fallin' down absolutely love this! I think I know where they are going!!!!! I'm busting to see how they are received!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Do they have a way of getting where they are going? If not, the Blitkarni could take them.

[Smarty218 2]

I love that blend of styles...  but where did you get the homes on the right?

Wahoo! 6700 replies in Schulmania!!

[Schulmanator 5,813]

Jacqulina lol! Her wrath is to be feared.

John94538 Perhaps she needs a hit of catnip to mellow out?

Leech10 Thy will shall be done.

NMUSpidey It is starting to fill up a bit more, isn't it. Me and you both need some glory, eh?

Russ93Plyr lol! Yep, the blank tiles have not been explored... yet.

Nihonkaranws Thanks! More is on the way.

Zelgadis Thanks. You are correct - if they aint seen it, we don't see it. Seems only fair!

GreekMan Thanks. Glad ya like it.

Smarty218 Or more! I have 48 tiles to do!

Jill Jacobs lol! If this was my full time job, I would have 10x more done by now. My towns are tiny to preserve the illusion of distance. And, as such, I have a lot of towns. And thus a lot of updates.

Jacqulina Thanks, J!

KingTitan Thanks! You are forgiven... as long as you keep doing updates in your CJ!

gabry85 Thanks. More is on the way.

Joetropian1 Still not in the 1800's yet. Stuck in ~1700 for a while yet to come...

Leech10 No trains on the horizon.

Benedict Thanks! Tiny towns will do that to you. I think I have close to 2 dozen towns now. So, it multiplies my updates a lot! Anyhoo, no subways yet. Well, not officially, anyway. I do have to use some to prevent the zots from time to time. But, they are cleverly disguised.

Joetropian1 They're working on it!

Nihonkaranws Thanks! More is coming too!

GreekMan lol!

Haljackey lol. Thanks. I know! At first, I wondered if I would ever get off of page 1.

Smarty218 lol.... I think it's more like 20 or so...

Nihonkaranws It is indeed... a neighbor's cat...

gabry85 PurrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrr

Hester Does it have the initials of MB?

Leech10 Blitkarni assistance would be great. They have their boarding passes for FIFA to Milton Bay at the ready...

Smarty218 Those little gems are compliments of haarlemergold... right here on the STEX. He has some rockin' stuff... that's why I nominated him for a Trixie last year... 100+ lots of supremacy! Go check them out today. (This message brought to you by The Haarelemergold Fan Club, Schulmanator, President).

[KingTitan 6]

I do love all your updates, eben though I may not reply all the time....I usually get around to your CJ after I have worked on mine...commented on others, feed the cats, feed the dogs, write, sleep, eat, watch American Wannabe....UMMM Idol!

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

I am currently 4 pages behind.  It is intolerable.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I suggest you make some modifications to your warp drive to make it faster, abcvs.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

You should make it like the Millenium Falcon. "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."

Man, that was a fantastic update. Schulman, I think you are about to revel in some glory

[gabry85 2]

That's surely challenging build on those slopes Schulmy. Stunning city look!

I swear I saw a car somewhere...

[Benedict 3,119]

Excellent update. Yeah, I thought I remembered some small, red-roofed buildings that you told me were sub stations in disguise a while back...

[Shanna 1]
