Govia (Revised)

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

I will post all my further updates in this thread after getting complaints that the updates were disorganized. I didn't like how the thread had many bad ideas so I decided to start over. I hope you enjoy! I will post the first updates in this thread aswell, Leaving intervals so people can read. I hope you enjoy!

UPDATE 1: Visit to Lovelia

Today some of my friends, James (from Govia), Angela (from Monte Simmay) and I (from Govia)

are going down about 300 miles north to the small

village of Lovelia.

James, Angela and I are heading to the Station to grab the 4 o clock train!

James says: This is going to be a little harder than I thought, Oh never mind, There's our train, Hurry!

Me: We made it just in time! Just 4 hours till we get to Lovelia, 'I'll wake you up when we get close.

James and Angela :

3 hours later...

 Wake up Sleepy head,

We're almost there, Check this place

out, It's beautiful!

James says: Look, It's the Rosemary ClockTower!

Angela says: Wow, You don't see these things in Monte Simmay.

And as night comes...We arrive at the station.

We found a bus that takes us right to our hotel so hop on!

Ah, Dear old, Jenol Inn, One of the best hotels in Lovelia. We had a long day so we're gonna head to bed! You should too, We're going to have a huge day tomorrow.

UPDATE 2: Change of Plans

We awoke to a rainy, cold day. There were bolts of lightning all over town, ruining our plan to go fishing.

As the rain let up, We decided to go to the zoo instead...

[phone rings]

Me: Hello?

Nancy: Daniel!? My buddy, What's goin' on?

Me: Nothing much, Me and my friends are in Lovelia today, What's up with you?

Nancy: Ah, nothin', Just hanging out in Shanlan with my parents. It's getting really boring here. Say, Lovelia's not far from here...Wanna come and visit? We have an awesome place near the Grand Canal...

Me: Sounds awesome! But how should we get there?

Nancy: I'll send you the airline tickets via email, Sound good?

Me: Sounds great, Thanks! Oh and hey, can I bring my friends along?

Nancy: Of course! Talk to you later bud.

...

Me: Alright guys, so, We have a change of plans. Nancy invited us to stay in Shanlan with her and her parents, You guys want to come?

Nancy: Shanlan? Isn't that the fancy canal village.

Me: It isn't fancy, Just...european...

James: I'll go, It sounds cool.

[phone ding]

Phone: You've got mail!

Me: Alright, The tickets are here, Let's get back to the hotel and pack our stuff. The flight's at 8 p.m sharp.

James and Angela: Alright, Nice.

We pack our things and head off to the airport...

Taxi Driver: Alright, This is your stop. Thank you.

Angela: Ladies first

Me: Pft...

James: Dang...This place is nice...

Me: Tell me about it...A genius probably built this.

[we pass through security and head to our gate]

Me: Gate...7?

Angela: Yeah, I think so...This is it!

Loudspeaker: Flight 8390 will now begin boarding. Please head over to Gate 7 for check in.

James: That's us...

Angela: Everyone got their stuff?

James and I: Yep...

We boarded the plane and it slowly began making it's way to the runway...

To be continued.

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

Sorry for triple posting but the next update is ready...

UPDATE 3: Meet the characters

As the crew makes its way to Shanlan, I would like to take this time and introduce to you all the main characters...

JAMES

Born in 1988, This guy is one of the oldest...

He was born in a small farm near Helsinki, Finland and was born and raised in the city of Tutuglolobo. He is in his last year of High school, Getting ready to move to America and start a new family. He currently works as a bagboy in the Local Ikea store. He likes to explore, and he's the loud one of the bunch, Always knows what to do in a sticky situation and a great friend.

ANGELA

What's there to say about Angela? She's the loud blonde, with the large pink purses and makeup in each hand. She might seem 'slow' at times, but she's actually quite smart. She's 17 years old, and lives in Monte Simmay with her parents. She goes to Fashion School on Aripem Avenue, One of the most prestigious schools in all of Europe. She owns 2 cats and a dog names Jordan. She likes to talk...alot, and she likes to shop even more. She knows how to shake things up.

NANCY

Nancy's the quiet, well behaved person in the group. PFT, As if. Nancy makes everything a blast. She messes everything up just so we can have a laugh. She's not really the brightest crayon in the box, She has a short attention span and needs to be constantly entairtained. She's Angela's best friend and they can always cheer someone up. She goes to school in Shanlan and lives there year round with her parents. She enjoys to go fishing and shopping.

Last but not least,  Not much to say about myself. You guys know me pretty well. I live in a small apartment near the City Beach in Govia. I'm definetly the smartest one of the group

Hope you enjoyed the update!

[mackeast 0]

Wow...this is very impressive. Your variety of locations really show off many styles of europeanism well. That Venice area looks fantastic. Where did you get that bridge, the one covered in fog from your first post?

[choco1 4]

Brilliant! This really is brilliant! Usually I hate photos taken from the closest zoom, but there look really nice and are framed perfectly. They really give a feeling of personal closeness to the city.

Wonderful presentation. I really love it!

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

Alright my friends, I'm tired of keeping you waiting, So here is part one of the update!

UPDATE 5: End of the World?...Part 1

KABOOM! KABANG!

[airplane crash in baltimore]

Tonight...Major cities like Paris, New York, and Washington remain in rubble as a series of Nuclear Attacks plagued worldwide this morning. Volcano eruptions, Freak tornadoes, Tsunamis, Rain storms and earthquakes strike every part of the world this evening disrupting bussiness, power, and daily life to residents. Air travel is not an option today, and neither is driving by car since gas has risen to 100 dollars/gallon in less than an hour. No one knows who or what is causing this, but religious leaders are calling this 'The End of the World' while scientists cannot figure out what's going on!

The world's leaders gather in the Govia Central Parliment House near Monte Simmay to discuss what to do next  while millions of refugees try to flee to warmer land...

As the sun sets, the world plunges into record breaking low temperatures far below zero and hypothermia is becoming a normality.

All we can do now is wait...and hope...

COMMENTS

mackeast: Thank you! I'm glad you caught the european look I was going for! The bridges can be downloaded here: http://www.newspringfield.de/simcity/nam_new_bridges.zip
