Looks good, can't wait for more!

 

Shouldn't the people wait for the train on the platform, and not on the tracks?

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Those pictures of the Earnslaw (especially the ones with smoke coming from the funnel) are just the best. I've always found old-fashioned steamships fascinating - it's unfortunate that there aren't too many of them left worldwide

Schulmania's ambassador has another diplomatic mission! Details coming tomorrow!

Here's a member of the delegation, Madame Bonjour Chat, a high ranking member of the Bureau of Feline Affairs...

[Hester 699]

So purrleased to meet Madame.  I hope to see her many times in the course of her business with her diplomatic mission.

[SimCoug 5,973]

Lots of orange... but she pulls it off.

[airman15 4,111]

She's got more orange on than Kenny!

Bye kitty

The Wirdleplex: Headed to Galesfeburg

Inside the Bureau of Feline Affairs Special Military District, “The Wirdleplex,” high level plans are being made to help end the lengthy war against Queensferry. Governor-General H. J. “Hoppy” Franciflora has assembled military engineers and researchers to work with the Schulmania Institute of Technology and the Applied Research Institute to develop new and improved weapons for use in the war. Technical advisers from our allies have been crucial in upgrading our military capabilities.

 

 

At Government House, BFA Diplomat Hal Podbay-Doors briefs the Governor-General on the latest plans to push our tactical advantage on the ground further. He advises that the BFA send a delegation to Myon, a pro-feline state introduced to Schulmania by the Blitkarni, a founding signatory of the Feline Interplanetary Friendship Association (FIFA).

 

At FIFA Headquarters, diplomats work to arrange a trip to the town of .?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> Galesfeburg is home to Myon’s first BFA Consulate, making it a natural selection for the location of the meeting.

 

BFA Consulate in 

A high-level delegation has been assembled by the BFA. It includes members of the Military Command, Chamber of Commerce, Diplomatic Office and technical experts. A flight out of Wirdleplex International Airport on Schulmania’s national carrier, Nyan Airlines, will carry the feline contingent to Gaalaeþur Island, where they will catch a connecting flight to .?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>

 

Wirdleplex International and Wirdleplex Air Force Base are right across the street from each other. It’s not a good idea to land at the wrong one. Penalties include being hissed at and a scratching. Pilots, be on your toes!

Arrangements have been made for an arrival on Friday 02 August 2013. The head of the delegation, Sir Meowza Purrington, Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the Bureau of Feline Affairs, has selected the group’s members and briefed them on the mission. Scientific and technical experts accompanying the ambassador were selected for their expertise in adapting allied military technology for the Schulminion military. The lead scientist in the group, Dr. Gablehouser, caused a minor stir when he selected Dr. Leslie Winkle over Dr. Barry Kripke as the last member of the team. Barry described himself as “vewwy unhappy” and intimated he might have to unleash his secret weapon “The Kwipke Kwippwer” against Gablehouser.

Sir Purrington got everyone back on track and focused on the mission. So, it’s time to pack and head to the airport.

 

And then, to take flight on Nyan Airlines…

Those are some pretty ornate-looking buildings - I wonder if their interiors are similarly impressive

[Hester 699]

Did the delegation get to Galesfeburg yet?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Seeing as I just met him, I'd say that would be a yes. The arrival itself is also in the most recent Galesfeburg update (if a couple days early), but you've already commented on it.

 

More details are coming later.

[Benedict 3,119]

I am excited about the advent of rail in the NCR.

 

And congratulations, you're back at number one on BTT.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Great news! #1 for the week AND we have developed new feline bomber pilot protocols!!

Time to show Queensferry what we got!!

[RipRap 4,400]

Yes! Soon we will have the jet fighters!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Looks like some Buggs are about to be chomped...

[Hester 699]

Oh I LOVE it!  LOVE it!  Bring it!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Lego Schulmania?

[airman15 4,111]

All right! Fast Eagle is anxious to paint some silhouettes of QF jets under the canopy!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

New planes! Death to all Buggs!

 

Can't wait for more!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

SchuLegoMania? Looks awesome.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Legos are the best toys ever.  I loved all mine!  I'll head over to Galesfeburg and see how things are going there.

[airman15 4,111]

Come visit Lego San Francisco sometime!

Coming up next:

 

The ALL NEW city of Inskip...

 

 

 

Followed by a new award for select ST members!

[airman15 4,111]

Oooh! Is it a shiny??

[Hester 699]

Waiting to see who those members are and what award they receive.  

[Schulmanator 5,787]

While we're waiting, a reminder about poster 9999 and 10000... since that's coming up before too long. Big prizes a-comin'!

 

Strike!!!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Will this be for the posts 9999 and 10000 (the number on the upper right corner of each post), or replies 9999 and 10000? (Which is those numbers minus 1, and the number that shows up on the forum list)

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Looking at SimCity 4 images from that angle puts a whole new perspective on things...

While you are eager to see replies, also enjoy this video from the 2013 State Visit. This features a jet boat ride on the Shotover River in Queenstown, New Zealand

And now, the replies:

emperordaniel    It was awesome! You should definitely go!

NMUSpidey    I like it better in person than in game. But it is cool.

Ultimate727    You should! It rocks!

Benedict    Looks like the wiki is gone. A shame, since you put a lot into it. Do you still have your originals?

emperordaniel    LOl! And moa pix have just been added today!

emperordaniel    You bet!

Hester    Thanks!

NMUSpidey    You’d like our kitty trains. They glide as soft as kittens as their engines purr away…

Titanicbuff    Thanks! And Australia does rock!

Hester    Come on then!

airman15    LOL! Me too!

emperordaniel    Trains are a novelty – not sure they know the proper procedures yet…

Ultimate727    Hope I did not disappoint…

Lyhoko Leaci    Probably, but it’s not like cats stay in one place for long… unless they’re asleep…

emperordaniel    Thanks. It was cool to see it in action. Like a piece of history come to life.

Hester    She thanks you!

SimCoug    Of course. She is a stylish kitteh!

airman15    It’s her favorite color!

Ultimate727    Hehehe

emperordaniel    Indeed! Felines spare no expense!

Hester    It arrived and left successfully. We look forward to many new trade and technology initiatives being implemented.

Lyhoko Leaci    The Chamber of Commerce was wondering if they could arrange for the purchase of a lot in Galesfeburg for constructing a Fancy Feast factory and/or a scratching post factory. Our consumers would enjoy importing Myonian goods.

Benedict    Woo hoo! Awesome!

111222333444    Victory will be ours!

emperordaniel    The Flying TIGER will get those buggs and smash them!

Hester    You bet!

airman15    Sounds good to me!

Lyhoko Leaci    My sentiments exactly!

emperordaniel    Hehehehe!

NMUSpidey    Legos are AWESOME! Unless you step on them in bare feet. Then they are evil!

airman15    NICE!

airman15    It’s a very exclusive medal!

Hester    There are 6 awards for the new medal. A release will be soon.

Lyhoko Leaci    Good question. Having the posts finally numbered does help. But, the established precedent is to go by the index count. So, the last post on the page listed as 10k and the first on the following which causes the index to say 10k are the two winners.

emperordaniel    Tee hee!
