Hester This will definitely be the biggest one yet from me.

Dumanios Excellent! It is 2/3 done and has ~50 pictures in it already. Brace yourself!

wwetom1 Yep... Oct 5th - be there or be square!

dehyan309 LOL. So, I am curious as to your alter ego's role in the next CJ. I'll be by to check on the new colony.

wwetom1 Yep, one of the kitties is leaving... not saying who or why yet... but that will be revealed on Oct 5th.

dehyan309 I will say it is a member of the regal elite, but not giving away who or why just yet. Or, if it is voluntary or not yet either. You'll have to see on Oct 5th.

Hester You will hafta see on Oct 5th.

Muck308 Uh-oh. How is Maylay? I hope she fared well at the v-e-t. The Admiral and her entourage send her their best.

Leech10 The one who leaves has a good reason to go...

Hester I am sure there's some sort of keychain and/or paperweight available...

Leech10 I think we have seen those trees before somewhere...

dehyan309 Yep... the kitties have it going on!

Benedict Woo hoo! The Admiral promised me a scratching if I didn't get her back on top. So, whew, saved myself!

Sgt Pepper Thanks. Always glad to have you come by

wwetom1 Thanks. It's a very, very remote village too!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

And just what do you mean by leaving? Leaving for good, leaving to go on a vacation to get away from the war, leaving to go on a mission in the war, what?

Ah, yes... the dreaded v-e-t...

[Hester 699]

I want to know that as well.

SchulmAnniversary 4.0 Teaser #3

Schulmania - the home of retro high tech. Do you wonder what new inventions we might have ready to unveil? Wonder no more once October 5 arrives.

Be there for the largest update in Schulmania's history!

[Muck308 55]

The day approaches... !

Maylay's tip top. She just had to undergo a long overdue procedure resulting in a completing useless kitty-making factory. I'm not made of Tender Vittles over here, so one furball is enough... for now.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

A record player with earbuds... Not something you normally see.

How many ads for the new update will there be?

[Wiecher 192]

iPod Macro?

I have a better invention.

It's a device that lets you look right trough walls!!

I named it "window"

no, enough old jokes...

I hope the update on october 5 is really big, bigger, biggest.

[TekindusT 3,809]

It would be hilarious to see somebody on the subway listening to (and carrying) the iPod Macro!

Schulmania 3rd Quarter 2010 Awards Ceremony

This quarter, awards are calculated from Volume 1 (all), Volume 2 (through page 195) and Volume 3 (through page 112). Because there are 531 awards this time, I have decided to put the list only in Volume 3 because here in the old forum section, on a page with 30 posts on it, the scrolling of such a long list would be a bit burdensome. So... come on over here to Volume 3 and see the list. What award did you get? Let's go see! What's your rank? Come on and check.

Enjoy! And only a few more days till the biggest update in Schulmania's history!

[Muck308 55]

Here she is. And in time for the big update too.

[jim 546 43]

Another plaque for the front door of the flat, how very kind. I'm much intrigued by the leaving story, shall have to check back soon.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Special congratulations to Simtropolis' own MIGHTYGOOSE, 1000th poster in Schulmania Volume 3!

ROCK ON!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Now that is a lot of posts.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

The last tease before the massive SchulmAnniversary 4 is released... and this one is truly massive... four years of Schulmania means the update is a four-parter. The debut will be October 5... BE HERE!!!

[hotChocolate 95]

Hmm... I wonder what THE UPDATE will be...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

BTW, everyone, the picture below is REAL... it pays to discover Schulmania!

(She has already depleted the card binging on Fancy Feast and Starbucks tuna lattes... so she does not mind showing you her credit card number...)

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Okay, that is different... I didn't know cats had credit cards. And at least she didn't binge on catnip.

[Hester 699]

I wonder if she DID binge on catnip..you know what a time that caused her a year ago! She may have and didn't tell.

[wwetom1 831]

Woo I got an award this time!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Like the new reply header? It's from Cat Vegas!

Leech10 Leaving pretty much for good... one of the top felines will be leaving Schulmania. Not necessarily forever though.

Hester Answers coming as early as Tuesday...

Muck308 I am glad to hear Maylay is doing well. And you are right; it is better to be kitten free when you don't have a cat ranch than having homeless kitties.

Leech10 That's the last of the update teaser pix.

Wiecher I will tell you that the update on the 5th is so big it will be revealed in four parts. It has over 80 pix and would be more than a single post can hold. I'll probably end up doing a post a day for four days straight to make sure I don't overwhelm too much.

TekindusT LOL! Could you imagine some old guy with an iVictrola cranking up the Glenn Miller and all of the young folks yelling at him to "turn off that racket!" ?! The ultimate role reversal!

Muck308 Awww! So cute! Glad to see a new pic of the BFA Commissioner. : )

jim 546 Intrigued? Answers are coming in 48 hours or less!

Leech10 Yep! It sure is!

hotChocolate It's a biggun!

Leech10 She could have... but the Catnippery was closed when her limo pulled up... just five minutes after business hours. So, off to Starbucks for tuna lattes...

Hester I think she has been walking the straight and narrow path since then.

wwetom1 Congrats! And enjoy!

SchulmAnniversary Prelude

In the past year, stunning developments have pushed Schulmania from an isolated felinocracy into a state thrust into the modern era - complete with its wars, technology and international trade. Initially only in contact with a few other feline societies, Schulmania has now established relationships with new nations, including several canine states. An era with turbulent change such as this can be very destabilizing to a nation. Thankfully, the inspired leadership of the Supreme Wirdle and her court have kept the nation on its feet and looking forward to a brighter future.

Strategic alliances have helped Schulmania resist invading forces from Queensferry. Though the war is young and much remains before a conclusion is reached, partnering with friendly states has given Schulmania time to adapt to a changed environment. State visits between Schulmania and Schulmauckland have led to trade and cultural links with this canine state, as well as a supply of modern warships to serve as a template for an updated Schulminion navy. The Blitkarni Rebellion, one of the original signatories of the FIFA Coronation Accord, has provided a large contingent of technical advisers. These specialized workers arrived as part of the preparations team for the second Feline Simlympiad in Robinia. But, their purported mission was a ruse; the group was diverted to Tenne for a secret mission of a very sensitive nature.

That's not the only thing going on in Schulmania flying under radar (if we had radar, that is). Schulmania has had a longstanding relationship with the Klingon Empire. This relationship began long ago with a chance encounter of a hunting expedition led by the Supreme Wirdle with a big game hunting party led by Kahless the Unforgettable. The two groups swapped hunting stories and impressed one another with their hunting skills on the plains of South Wirdleonia before the area was developed. Kahless was so impressed with the Supreme Wirdle's prowess with claws that he modeled the original bat'leth on the curvature of her claws.

The bat'leth (or, "sword of honor") is the best known Klingon weapon and serves as a reminder of the mutual regard between the Klingons and Schulmania.

Upon its introduction to general Klingon society, the Supreme Wirdle was invited to the Klingon capital as a guest on honor. She fell asleep one toasty afternoon and found herself transported to Kronos.

In a rare image, the much younger Supreme Wirdle is seen crossing the floor of the Klingon Great Hall to participate in the hallowed Klingon Tea Ceremony.

Since this momentous occasion, one new and permanent connection has been established between the two realms. This one has been also under the radar for Schulmania, but of great importance to the Klingons, who have not forgotten Kahless' admiration of the Supreme Wirdle's warrior ways.

At the beginning of this, the biggest update in Schulmania's history (to date), we have three threads to follow:

1st - The threat from Queensferry's military aggression in the east requires immediate action to save the nation from certain doom.

2nd - Technical advisers from friendly states have been helping Schulmania prepare for the struggle ahead; a secret project or two is in the works to bring victory and the wider world to Schulmania.

3rd - A long standing but low key relationship with the Klingon Empire is exposed to a wider audience, revealing a vital link between feline and Klingon cultures.

Each of these three threads will be explored in its own installment of the SchulmAnniversary 4 spectacular today, revealing the biggest and most far-ranging chapter in Schulmania's history to date.

And now, on to Part 1...

[Hester 699]

I am really looking forward to the updates as each one comes. The Supreme looks young and lithe.

[jim 546 43]

Hmm? Klingons? Never knew that. Anyway, can't wait for the next updates (wow, people say that a lot... ).

[lucky7 73]

Yeah!!! I am completely intrigued and ready... !

[Benedict 3,119]

Happy Schulmanniversary! I'm looking forward to seeing all the celebrations you have in store for us.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good so far! Didn't know they were in contact with the Klingons for so long...

Edit: Have a map.

Does it work?
