ATTENTION


Due to the lack of replies of this City Jorunal. Since it looks like no-one is actually replying.

I decided to close this City Journal in the next week.

If you want to comment. You can but it still closes unless more viewers and repliers were to come by.

Other than that, I WILL be closing this City Journal due to lack of replies.


This CJ will continue now.

Thanks for all of your support and patience.

Thanks and have a nice day.

I wish you wouldn't close down your CJ, its really original and creative. Maybe less updates, try to get something to grab the reader's attention. A more in-depth storline maybe! Don't give up, this is by far one of my favorite CJ's (if yo ucan call it that, MCJ?3.gif)

its really a unique cj. I think your problem is that your updating too often for the good people of simtropolis to keep up with it. Try spacing out updates a few days apart so that more people have a chance to read it inbetween updates

Mayorm: Thank you. I see why people don't reply as much.

WARGOD: Well its because of polls. Just click reply on the post thing. And you'll get it. Thanks for stopping by.

SWAT-MEDIC: Thanks. I did update often enough for readers and replyers to come. I'll try to grab everyone's attention. Wait and you'll see whats in store.

ComputerGuy890100: Well the CJ is not closing. See what I have for this update,

simcity4nj: thanks. I did let enough days to come by for people to reply. Like I left at-least four to five days apart in updates 4 1/2 and 4 2/2. Check.


Without a further a do. Here's update# 5.


Update #5 History of Earth 1/2 (Interactive on 2/2)


Since the war as ended. The Martain colonies decided to learn about Earth's past and advancements for the near future. The history we're talking about is in the year 2010. So far we only know very little about our orgins. So we recovered this photograph after we recovered some parts in the war on present Earth.

Grennsburg-1.jpg

Then we asked the Earth historains for some more pictures to learn. We had to bribe them with our history for theirs for several reasons. After that, we recived additionally photographs.

Grennsburg-2.jpg

Grennsburg-3.jpg

We assume that they use transportain called cars or automobiles. These sort of machines pollute the enviroment so much. These pollution factors are caused by CO2 emissions, which caused global-warming because so many individuals never wanted to learn about the enviroment and a impact it causes for everyone. Also they had open stadiums and old type of housing.

Grennsburg-4.jpg

Around this old photograph. People dwelled in here for a period of time in these wooden dwellings called camping sites. These camping sites are a base of wood and possiably metal or plastic.

Grennsburg-5.jpg

And this one....34.gif

Grennsburg-6.jpg

We belive that this city happens to look like this one shown under.

Grennsburg-7.jpg

Although this city happens to look like trash compared to our colonies and civilazations. We learned so much about the past and that we can use these types of styles and transportaion when needed.


Well if you want to live in the past or the present (future), just vote.

wow that city has a very unique feel too it. I like how it seems to have a specific theme without looking all the same. One suggestion though is that the baseball stadium does look a little funny amongst all the other buildings.

You might all know you might expecting an update soon as I reply. Not for now. Wait till a few days an you'll see what I have in store.

Replies: 40.gif


simcity4nj: Thanks. I used PEG's MTP pack / set and some other BATs on the LEX. (BSC exchange. Must be logged in.) And yes I know the baseball stadium doesn't fit in with the rest. But what do you expect. Thats just the past of this city. The present one I have does fit in.

rainyday: This update is a histrocal advancement for Earth. Its not for real. Its just temporary. Then I'll go back to Simmars as soon I come up with more ideas. I run out of them everytime! But don't worry, I think of something.

This CJ is pretty cool, I liked the Colonies and I think an interactive Cj is a great idea! Now that the war is over I wonder what will come of relations between Earth and Mars.

Interactive CJ breakdown


If (all of the viewers / you) are confused about the interactive CJ idea. Here's a breakdown.

The way this works is you will be taxed by 1 of the type of money shown for each of the following .

Sepis = past

Tenke = future

You may live together, but your taxes will be dobuled. (2X)


First, you choice may be the past. Or better yet the present of today.

The type of money all of you are using is called: Sepis. Each Sepis can be earned by replying to this CJ only. NO spamming will be allowed. If so, no money for you.

The past is a rustic type of city or urban blocks you see today as shown here.

You start a house like this shown here. A nice, low wealth house for you.

SepisValley-Jan3061234840135.jpg

If you earned enough Sepis, you live in this mansion or others like it.

SepisValley-Jan3061234840155.jpg

Also, you may work for it. You can work for it depending on your type of class and education.

For example, you are intellingent and your type of class is middle class. You will be working in offices and serivices. If you were dumb and your class is middle class. You will be working in factoires and working class jobs, because of your education.

SepisValley-Jan3061234840187.jpg

You may live in apartments too. Just the rent is a bit lower but it varies depending on your apartment. Sales may be included if you were to buy an apartment. But it happens 25% of the time.

SepisValley-Jan3061234840222.jpg

SepisValley-Jan3061234840256.jpg

You may visit in cabins too if you were too tour around a city. It depends on your hotel / motel services and class level.

SepisValley-Jan3061234840299.jpg


Future

Type of money = Tenke

Earned by: Working and/or Posting

Starting house: If you look in my CJ in page 1, you should know which is which. No need to explain everything. I'm sorry but if I already shown a picture, then there's no need to post again unless you ask.


Replies:

jon7985: Thanks, who knows, you might be right.

jacquilina: Thanks, hope you see this one.

rainyday: Well now you know. This should give you an ideal way of this CJ.

GMT: Thanks, and the old look does look nice for a Earthain historcal picture.

TmiguelT: Thanks, but choose one only!

Since the voting poll says the future over every choice on the poll. Your interactive CJ might begin tommarrow. I have to take pictures of my region and everything. If you know how to get a whole entire city with detail so I can show it here. You will earn 20 tenke for your work and support.

The system will work like this:


Interactive City Journal In-Depth

First you will start out as a low wealth colonist. You must work up to be the best out of everyone.

The amount of taxes you will have per week

Low class / working class: 1 tenke

Middle Class: 2 to 5 tenke

High Class : 10+ tenke


The amount you will earn each day....

low class / low education: factoires / office such as paper sorting. = 1-5 tenke

                   high education: possibley office and services = 2-6 tenke

middle class / low education: factoires / office such as paper sorting, low class services = 4 tenke                high education: 80% middle class offices. 45% high class offices = 10-15 tenke

high class / low education: possibley office and services = 3-10 tenke

                      high eduction: 80% - 100% chance of high class offices = 15+ tenke

                                                100% chance of middle class offices = 12+ tenke


Bussiness mangement costs

middle class / high education: 50-100 tenke for one bussiness

                                                        200+ tenke for two bussinesses

                                                        200 mutiplyed by X for 3+ bussinesses

high class / high education:  100 - 500 tenke for one bussiness

                                                    1,000+ tenke for two bussinesses

                                                    1,000 mutiplyed by X for 3+ bussiness


Earnings for bussiness

middle class / high education: 100 tenke muitplyed by X number of bussinesses per two days.

high class / high education:  200 tenke mutiplyed by X number of bussinesses per four days.


Housing costs

low class: free - 50 tenke

middle class: 75 - 200 tenke

high class: 300+ tenke


Education earnings:

ALL CLASSES: 1-9 points depending on your school and paying attention.

                            10% to 50% chance of dozing off and slacking. = -1 to 1 point

                             All earnings will be earned each day!


Objects:

Car: 100 - 500 tenke = low class

         600 - 1,000 tenke = middle class

         2,000+ tenke = high class

Reduces commute time to work

Looks cool!

Furniture (Gernral): 100 - 500 tenke = low class

                                    750 - 2,000 tenke = middle class

                                    5,000+ tenke = high class

Increases house property costs.

Impress the guests! (Not really.. Just overborad)..

Gagets: 10 - 50 tenke = low class

             60 - 200 tenke = middle class

             300+ tenke = high class

Helps you around

Looks great!

Food and Drinks: 10+ tenke = all classes

anything you can insert here!

You may post pictures of these objects that are above. You may also post pictures of other objects, just as long its rated PG. Its for people who doesn't want to be scared. But you may post PG-13 objects, just as long it doesn't offend anyone and break the rules. Additionally, they must match your wealth level / class!


Earing wealth levels / classes:

low to middle = 100 education points and 100 tenke

middle to high = 100 education points and 500 tenke


Education for jobs:

low class: low education = 25 points

                   high education = 50 points

middle class: low edcation = 75 points

                          high education = 100 points

high class: low education = 75 - 100 points

                     high education = 200+ points


This is a more in-depth guide for the interactive CJ. Thanks for watch and reading and wait for tommarrow, I hope. Remember, the voting polls are still up, you may vote untill the 19th.

Just a preview / teaser of update 6. Although I'm not doing a complete interactive CJ. Please keep in mind that I like to do intervals in this CJ. Such as 1 is interactive the other isn't and so on so forth.

This is a updated version of the entire region. You should find some difference in the main colony area.

MartianColony2.jpg

And the transport map. I might be the first to use maxis highways in a simmars CJ.

Update #6

Earth and Mars


Many years later. The land-space on Mars is becoming smaller and smaller by the hour. They need a plan. Since Mars has a spaceport for transporting citizens. They can use it to go back to Earth. But, first we need to send ambassdor to Earth code name Quigley Wirk. Possibly this way, the public can go back to Earth without harm.

(A launch later....)

NASAPic.jpg

Arriving to Earth in 5 miles...

3 miles...

Beginning to land.....

NASAPic3.jpg

Landing completed.....

After that, the ambassdor took a taxi to go into the main city. (Canal City).

When arrived, Quigley Wirk went to the Interplanetary Broad of Law. IBL

Earth2.jpg

Since then Quigly meet Greeve Talons. The ambassdor of Earth.  Both talked and aruged on peace treaties and etc.

Finally, they came with a agreement.


Martain and Earth Peace Treaty (Part of it)

On this day. The Martians will be able to inbait Earth. The laws follows both planets in peace not war. No rally inactments or sercet clans to oppose the treaty. A death pentaly will occur when nessciary. Rarley a life-time jail sentence.

End of exsecpt


Just after the treaty as been declared.. The Earthain government broadcasting complex aired the treaty in Earth and Mars. No more wars and will be able to work together at-last.

Earth1.jpg

Soon after, Quigly made preperations for galatic conquest. His plans follows..

  1. Venus
  2. Pluto
  3. Earthain Moon
  4. Jupiterain Moon
  5. Neptupian Moon
CanalCity-Feb22201235779656.jpg

Then, he tried to send the plans as a package to Mars.

CanalCity-Feb13201235779581.jpg

He tried to keep a low profile as a middle class citizen of Earth in a stadium.

CanalCity-Feb10201235779558.jpg

The plans succeced for the first part. The second part was the hardest.... Must be approved and must happen. The following must happen:

  1. Enough warships
  2. Enough weapons
  3. Government must approve
  4. Need more resources


To be continued......

Remember this will continue after the interactive update if any....

If not then the next will be update 7 not an interactive.
