NO! All those innocent Millidgevillians! That was a lot of houses taken out. Is the government going to do anything about it? Is there anything they CAN do? You certainly did have worse in store for Soni. And they're targeting the bridge now? Not good.

Yeah... my bridge... I wonder why? I mean, if they were smart terrorists, they'd take out the bridges that Soni uses so that he's trapped on one half of the region... just sayin...

    2nerdy4u - No it's not to late to purchase insurance...It costs 20 Points and reimbursts 3 times the original purchase cost... And they desire to destroy the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge for two reasons...#1 an example to scare off investors... #2 So they can have South Island for themselves.. Remember Soni's presumably dead as of now, only he managed to run them off the road during the car chase...

    CTF - Thanks!

    iamihop11 - Since the majority of Newarks government is controlled by the villainous dictators we just witnessed, the most they'll probably do is make it look like an accident or put the responsability for the devistation on Soni... The area may be for sell to investors who desire to revitalize the area though...

    Oh, ok N4C, thanks. Insurance would be good. And I suppose youre right about Soni being dead... they don't know that he survived the attack and the only ones who did died in the car crash...

    Need4Camaro, what are the maintenance and building costs for water mains?

    well I don't care where the water pumps are as long as I have enough water for Tuckaway.

    Need4Camaro: Yoshiisland is my partner in the Tuckaway Transportation Systems company so you might also see what he wants to do with the highway overcrowding problem.

    MPTC - I'll need to know what you two choose to do with Lantia Parkway... Speaking of, what was your oppinion of Lantia Parkway as it stands today?

    2nerdy4u - Yup, thank heavens for that Island in the freeway! and I will insure your bridge...

    lilmanjs - Very well... You may both contribute toward the transportation system of Newark... Currently Highway 202 is overcrowded for nearly its entire route... Highway 2 is becoming crowded from Linaton to Downtown Newark... Highway 4 will probably be next and then Highway 35 in South Island will shortly follow... 

    I'm surprised that noone was impressed by the car chase scene... ...oh well, I'll have to try harder next time...

    well I was impressed. for the transportation system I sent a private message to yoshiisland to see if he wanted to make a subway system. that would cut down on traffic even more than a bus system would.

    N4C: everyone's just so wrapped up in making their fortunes in real estate and development 4.gif

    I, for one, was very impressed by the chase, and the whole update, for that matter. I'd like to see some pictures/info of the devastation. Also, I'd like to lobby for better police/fire presence in the region. That seems to be a recurring problem.

    lilmanjs - Thank you...

    e350tb - Yes. you will be added and begin with 30 Points! and you can start or join any company you desire..

    ObladiOblada - Thanks, I havn't started the real development yet as it still needs water, I want to see what the NWC is going to do about it.

    KingTitan - Thank you!

    iamihop11 - I can tell...

    ________________________________

    Okay a Mini-Update to satisfy a couple (but not all) requests and most importantly to make sure I have everything correct...

    First let me make sure I have things correct...

    CTF and lilmanjs have agreed upon a water system!

                  CTF, Are you going to supply Lantia and Global Village with Water? Global Village needs water to develope properly...

                  CTF I need to know where you desire to biuld your water stations and what kind of station you intend to biuld and how many...

                  lilmanjs, are you going to be donating any points to CTF to help him create a water system?

    lilmanjs, Houston Fan, Yoshiisland, MPTC

                  You desire to create the Tuckaway transportation system... Yoshiisland is cosigned into this deal correct?

                  You would like to help Houston Fan extend Lantia Parkway to Highway 6 as a toll road? Have you two and MPTC come upon an agreement? Will Yoshiisland help?

                  You want to start a subway system with Yoshiisland? I suggest you do not however...

    Subways are extremely expensive and at the current population, they won't see much use, your expenses will be far greater than your profit... You should wait until Newark grows. Maybe a GLR would be more feasble for now...  I suggest you plan a railmap with Yoshiisland...

    MPTC and ObladaObladi

                  Need you to decide if you're going use CTF's water system and come to an agreement with him so I can know if I can run water lines to your development...

    2nerdy4u 

                  You want insurance... and of course, I havn't forgot about your request to see the area south of Lina Park..

    ______________________________________________

    Alright, just a small update... Iamihop11 desired to see properties of downtown...

    Iamihop11, Downtown Newark as small as it might be is still large enough to take infinite amounts of time for me to query every last biulding so I'm going to need you to take a look at these images, and mark which biuldings you're interested in!

    Have a look at these 8 images and tell me what areas you're interested in...

    Downtown2.jpg

    Downtown3.jpg

    Downtown4.jpg

    Downtown6.jpg

    Thats if for now simtropolitans!!!

    I can donate some points to CTF for the water system if its needed. also what would be the cheapest mass transit system that I could start that will help with the highway overcrowding problem. Yoshiisland is cosigned into the deal as well for the creation of Tuckaway Transportation Systems.

    Yeah, we're going to partner up for this.  My request for the lots we'd like to use is the Road Top Mass Transit Version 3 on www.sc4devotion.com .  It should be on the LEX there.  Also, could we see some transport maps/ general pics of your mass transit for our project?

    As for the update...wow, it's like an action movie!! How'd you get two cars in UDI mode at the same time?!?  THAT was a need for speed most wanted moment right there!  Incredible!

    I would like to water all three, money is tight however.

    May I have a gridded overview of Tuckaway, Lantia, and Global Village? These would help me decide as to where I should place the pumps.

    lilmanjs - Very well, I just need CTF's final say so.. and where he wants the pumps to be biult.

    Yoshiisland - Okay, I'm going to have to charge for both the road and the transit however so that can be a bit pricey aswell... Currently however, there are no transit systems in Newark... No busses, no passenger trains... You CAN purchase railroads and biuld passenger stations along those sections... refer to the railroad map a few pages back for that. Just look at the regional views, copy the images and draw where you want the transit service to encompass and the rail lines (if you choose to biuld them, or if not, use an existing rail and mark from where to where) If you choose to use busses, again use the regional view to mark where you want the busstops... and then we'll get closer images...

    2nerdy4u - The two UDI Cars in one scene was complicated... because it never really happened...2.gif I had to get the cars in almost the exact position and take the snapshots and merge the pictures into one image and make sure nothing was occupying the tiles that both of the cars were on, thus giving me an single image with two UDI cars and city traffic...

    Thank you for the points ObladiOblada, rest assured Global Village will be watered soon. I just need a grid of the land around it.

    I have 40 points, plus ObladiOblada's generous donation of 10, making 50. That is assuming all my posts, including this one, give me one point. To purchase two of the existing pumps would cost about 53, so I should be able to purchase a pump for both Global Village and Tuckaway.

    Here is a double project proposal, both in downtown. I present: 

    Central Courts

    downtown8donesr8.jpg

    The red outlines the properties to be purchased in this project.  If the people will it, the HQ for the Schop Institute would be the small building in the block second from the left.

    Regalle Row:

    downtown9donemt0.jpg

    Red marks the land included in this project, blue is medium commercial zoning, white is, in this case, a basketball court next to a tennis court.

    Finally, the Schop Institute would like to move to preserve this area as Old Tower Park, whether that means buying the land in a patchwork pattern (to prevent development) or merely working with the government to deny access to development there:downtown2tc2.jpg

    Awesome, that's all for now...keep in mind that I don't acually have any points left so these are merely projections of ideas in the planning stages. (The Schop Institute does have funds, and anyone who is interested in environmental action and preservation in Newark can join the SI Director's Panel, and can help decide what to do with those points. Just let me know if you want to have a say.)

    MPTC, I will give you the same terms as Tuckaway and Global Village. I will pay for pumps and mains to supply your development. However the NWC must remain your only supplier of water. Unfortunately however there is a very high chance I will not have enough points to construct more then two pumps, one for Tuckaway and Global Village respectively. That is assuming they cost about the same to construct them as it costs to purchase preexisting ones. Make sense?

    if anyone has a request to have a transit stop in their city now is the time. the idea for the transit system that will help with highway overcrowding is that the smaller cities like tuckaway have 2 bus stops/subway stops and that the biger cities have 5 bus stops/subway stops.
