[Schulmanator 5,787]

Anyone care to join me for a refreshing beverage to salute a special occasion?

A Toast! To Trixie! Long may she reign over Simtropolis!

Bringing the yummies over to the next page...

[RipRap 4,400]

Go Trixie the Llama!

[simlink 1,098]

Here's to Trixie!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

It's not a bottle of llama milk?

Go Trixie!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

The Great and Powerful Trixie has indeed arrived!

[Benedict 3,119]

Well done on your well-deserved Trixie - thanks for keeping me entertained for yet another year.

[vivapanda 422]

Congratulations, you deserved it!

[Hester 699]

Concatulations, Schulmanator.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

To celebrate Trixie season, there's a new update of Harar available... just click the pic to see Baron Nik....

yes, it rhymes... what can I say? I'm a poet and I know it!

[Gn_leugim 853]

congratulations

Will Schumania migrate to SC5 next year or is it going to continue on as it is, just curious

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Could be a combination of both; it'll take a long while to do a complete migration at any rate, as there won't be too much SC2K13 custom content for a while xD

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Congrats with your well-earned trixies!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Yay for trixies!

Lyhoko: And you got the one Lyhoko nominated you for!

You didn't deserve a Trixie, you EARNED it. Fabulous work here, I love it!

Also, that is indeed an interesting question. I may not get SC5 right away, but I do want to see it played right away. Any kind of anticipation in that respect?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Gn_leugim I hope your kitchen is free from such evil food!

10000000000000 I feel much better about that area now that the base is open.

Hester She thanks you!

sim_link Thanks! Glad you like it!

Lyhoko Leaci Hehehe… more is always on the way!

nathanthemayor Thanks. It should keep the southwest much more secure.

emperordaniel That’s the advantage of having an international base!

vivapanda Me too. I think it will be a good help.

Gn_leugim It is a bit small but remember that cats aren’t that big.

111222333444 That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Benedict Thanks. We don’t have too many border crossings, so this is a bit of a first, I think.

Lyhoko Leaci After 17000+ posts, it’s only Map #34… they are definitely a rarity.

111222333444 Woot! Woot!

sim_link Hear, hear!

Lyhoko Leaci The store was fresh out…

emperordaniel All hail Trixie!

Benedict Thanks! I appreciate your ongoing support of Schulmania.

vivapanda Thank you!

Hester Thanks!

Gn_leugim Thanks!

Larks2242 That issue is being studied by the government and a white paper on the topic will be released soon.

emperordaniel An excellent point.

nathanthemayor Thanks

Lyhoko Leaci Awesome! I appreciate the nomination

NMUSpidey Thanks! And as for SC5, I look forward to investigating it. But the government’s position on a transition is not yet clear.

[Benedict 3,119]

Congratulations - you're back at number one on Ben's Top Ten.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

All hail the Wirdle! Long life to cats!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

But, there will be new stuff in Schulmania soon!

[hamsterTK 93]

Has the enemy ever considered placing a very appealing looking cardboard box out as a trap for the other side's generals in the history of cat warfare?

If I fits I sits, says Baron Nik.

[RipRap 4,400]

@hamster -- you're not helping D:

Are you a BuggUla spy?

[Larks2242 251]

That cat needs a manual on pouncing.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Why would that cat need to kill a mockingbird anyway?

[Hester 699]

It's nice to see you Hamster TK, been awhile since I happened to be where you are.

You're probably right, Baron Nik would likely be tempted.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

[emperordaniel 1,281]

War memorial dedication time! Count me in!

Mind if the Almighty Bunny attends as well?

[Hester 699]

Standing by...

South Wirdleonia: War Memorial

From this scene of destruction, a fitting tribute to the feline warriors and innocent victims rises up.

The design for the site preserves the impact site and provides a focal point for those coming to pay tribute to the fallen. The dedication ceremony features several keynote speakers, including the Supreme Wirdle, Princess Katherine and Chancellor Mooky. In attendance also were several dignitaries from friendly nations.

After the speeches, the Supreme Wirdle joins others in a prayer led by Schulmania’s patron saints, St. Francis and St. Flora

The memorial site experience begins along the Walk of Honor, bringing visitors from the park entrance to the memorial site

The Walk of Honor continues through a thick grove of trees, planted as part of the memorial, to the edge of the largest crater left behind by the Queensferry attack

The manicured grounds and procession of flags intentionally give way as one approaches the rugged lip of the crater

We now begin to see the size of the crater at the heart of the memorial site

At the heart of the site, in the center of the crater, at its lowest point, rises the stone Memorial Tower

A wider view of the tower in its context

No path carries you from the edge of the crater to the tower. You have to slowly make your way amongst the rocks and foliage, giving you time to reflect on the site and its meaning.

Inside, at ground level, sits a small museum dedicated to the military history of the Southlands and the site

A memorial shrine sits close tot the top of the tower, close to the carillon

The view from the rooftop is worth the dizzying climb

The dignitaries conducted a small dedication ceremony in the shrine with survivors of the attack

The names of those lost in the war in Wirdleonia are engraved into the walls along the stairway leading to the shrine

Once the dedication is over, the site will become a place for quiet reflection

And, as with all Schulmania Nati9onal Parks facilities, there is no admission charge

As we leave this space, let us not forget the price of freedom…

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'll take first replies honors here, as well. PM is marveling at the beauty of the site, and we are all hoping for a speedy and just end to the war (that is, the complete and utter defeat of Queensferry for all time). And now, a moment of silence for the victims...

[RipRap 4,400]

Nice memorial

I hope we squish those buggs!w
