Schulmania

[Schulmanator 5,787]

While we are busy enjoying the awards, here's a little something to make you jealous of my richness.....

This is the latest report from Schulmania's Treasury! Not bad, eh?

[Hester 699]

Well now...not bad at all! Does Schulmania have a Lottery?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Mine's about 20% of that for my main city. I'm just going to assume it's because of the exchange rate .

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Was it Phillip de Purrton who recieved the Order of Maxis, or was it me? Either way, congrats everybody

If anyone checks out DeviantArt today, you'll see that even they are starting to support the Feline UpRising (F.U.R.) against the evil Buggs!

Here is one of many posters that are popping up all over the site:

[Hester 699]

All Hail the F.U.R. !!!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Wow, I am so not catching Leach or Hester like, ever. Clawing (webbing?) my way into third though, not bad, eh?

It's "Leech" or "Leaci". "leach" means something completely different and unrelated to leeches.

I'm not sure on what the average income in my cities are (and I can't check right now as my SC4 cd isn't with me) but the EQ in my cities is normally maxed out. Unless there's been a lot of people moving in recently and there hasn't been enough time to educate the newcomers...

I was going to mention the Feline Uprising, but then Simtropolis went down... Possibly while I was still asleep.

[Dumanios 35]

Yeah, Simtropolis seems to down a lot lately.

[wwetom1 831]

I always love award time here in Schulmania!

[Gn_leugim 858]

I must haste to 100 XD

About the FUR, I live here a music

Celebrating 2000 Comments!

 

Schulmania Volume 3 has been growing steadily over the last two point something years. Not too long ago, it hit over 100,000 views. And now, it has hit 2,000 comments. But, due to a glitch in the forum software, my official record of posts and views (the Manage My Journals page) does not agree with the forum list. The variance has been as low as 4 to as high as 11, where it is now. So, post #2011 on my list is the same as #2000 on the main one. Therefore, we have two milestone posters! So, hearty congratulations to k50dude and Hahei!

 

 

 

And so we award them both a handsome trophy,…

 

And now we celebrate!

 

 

While celebrations are occurring from York…

 

To New York…

 

To Cape York…

 

 

…many other observances are also underway. Let’s see how people are celebrating.

 

In the suburbs of Simtropolis, a cheer rises up…

 

At palatial Chateau Schulman, The Schulmanator receives the news with joy. And he makes an announcement…

 

Free appetizers at Applebee’s for everyone! C’mon down!

 

 

 

Afterwards, to burn off the calories, we will all walk over to Maxis Park for the presentation of the trophies to k50 and Hahei…

 

A great place for a ceremony! But, you wonder, what will these two lucky winners get besides a cool trophy and a ceremony… and your suspense is overwhelming you. And now, toe grand prize:

 

A free all expenses paid week’s stay at the luxurious Rancho Relaxo spa and lodge!!!

 

This also includes access to the disco and rooftop pool at the neighboring, affiliated Resort at Ocean Quigley!

 

Meanwhile, at the Schulmanator Corporate Center, the party is already getting started…

 

 

 

 

And, thanks to all 2000 posters… I look forward to 2000 more! Woo hoo!

[Benedict 3,119]

Congratulations on yet another milestone for your CJ. I also saw that you passed 1000 reputation - don't think I've seen that before for a member, although there are parts of the site I don't frequent.

Also, well done for another achievement - you're back at number one on Ben's Top Ten this week.

[Dumanios 35]

Congrats on the achievments!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

congrats on 2,000 posts! yay!

I must know, where did you get the Sydney tower in that last pic? (the yellow tower thing) I've been looking for it everywhere!

[Gn_leugim 858]

grtz on the milestone gratz all!

[jacksunny 741]

Congrats on the milestone!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Yay for 2000 posts!

Also, sorry Leaci, I don't know quite what happened with my normally impeccable spelling up there. I'll be sure to not make the same mistake again!

[RipRap 4,400]

Another Giant Leap!

Great Way to celebrate the Milestone! Now let's focus on the extermination of Queensferry!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Coming up next, some off topic RL pics of my latest adventure… stay tuned!

NMUSpidey Perhaps PM would like to make the schulmoneta legal tender?

111222333444 Hehehe…

emperordaniel Woo hoo! FUR FTW!

Benedict Thank you! And it is nice to be back on top for the week.

Dumanios Thanks!

City_Master Honestly, I don’t remember the exact place I got it from. But I think it was the actual EA SC4site where they have (had) lots for download.

Gn_leugim Obrigado!

jacksunny Thanks!

NMUSpidey Perhaps it was the influence of the evil Dr. Octopus which caused the error…

111222333444 Agreed!

New York City Photos

Yeah, it’s not on topic… but you know you want to see how I spent my spring vacation. So, here’s some pix for you!

The McDonald’s in Chinatown… the McD’s in Little Italy was not that interesting though…

Bridge for sale… cheap!

Anyone know what this building is? It’s in lower Manhattan. Its kinda weird looking.

The view from the South Street Seaport. About two blocks away from where this was taken I got to see my first street altercation!

The view from the Staten Island Ferry… looking toward Manhattan… as you can see the new WTC is coming along rather nicely

The SOL, also as seen from the Staten Island Ferry

A view of the WTC site from Broadway

The pilgrimage site for all hot dog eaters…

I found this to be funny… only in NYC would you see barbed wire and festive lighting. FYI, this is on Coney Island.

A lovely day to stroll Central Park…

Central Park is larger than it looks on a map, BTW…

The Belvedere at Central Park

Rowers in Central Park look out on the midtown skyline as they row, row, row their boats…

The new WTC building in close up from the 9/11 Memorial

The 9/11 Memorial… a view of the South Pool

A wider view of the WTC site

The 9/11 Memorial… a view of the North Pool

The 9/11 Memorial Museum/Visitor Center is not open yet. But, the buildings behind me made a cool reflection on the glass of the nearly ready structure.

So, all in all, a little snippet of my trip last week… since I know we have so many interested in urban settings, buildings and such I thought I would share with you. Enjoy!

[RipRap 4,400]

Nice big apple photos D:

[vivapanda 422]

New York is an amazing city, I have to go there one day!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I think that one building has a worm infection...

Looks good, can't wait for more!

[TekindusT 3,809]

"Central Park is larger than it looks in the map BTW..."

Can't agree more with that statement! "Bah, it's only three blocks wide..." and we spent an afternoon walking around.

[wwetom1 831]

Great pictures of the WTC!

[Duke87 1,070]

Anyone know what this building is? It’s in lower Manhattan. Its kinda weird looking.

That would be The Beekman Tower. A recent addition to the skyline. Yeah, it's funky looking... though, I sorta like the distinctness and uniqueness of it. It doesn't look as harsh and weird in person as it does in pictures.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Love NYC, great buildings and just great in general.

It seems the old simcity 4 site is gone which may have had that tower? The simcity site is now for simcity (2013) ohwell

[SIMplemente 41]

Breathtaking pictrures of NYC! Thanks for sharing, I love NYC (well as a tourist, of course)! LoL
