Lake Gorget

Hey, welcome to Simtropolis and the CJ forum.

Let me offer some advice. Unless there is some particular reason you don't want to use the full-sized pictures here, I would recommend doing it. A lot of people don't want to go to the extra trouble of clicking on each link. It is much easier to just open a thread and skim through the pictures. I think your CJ will get more visitors and more responses if you do this.
 
This is really easy to do in Imageshack. After you've loaded your pics, click on my images. You'll see all your photos. Over to the right there will be boxes where you can copy link info. Find one that says for forums or something like that, it should be the top one in each set. Copy that, then past it into the message window here in Simtropolis. No need to code or do anything else, just paste that in and it will show up here full-sized.
 
Right now, I don't know what you did, but the links look messed up. I think you should just put the full pics in.
 
As for your city, it's a nice start. I would suggest perhaps segregating your zones a little bit more. They are a bit jumbled right now and the pollution from the industry will start to negatively impact the other areas.

    You've got to be patient, man. I know it is hard to do when you make something and then put it out there, but you've just got to wait. Begging doesn't usually help and double posting tends to annoy people.

    That said, I like your canals in the latest pic. I'd like to see some more pictures of your zones, like your everyday city areas and not just this new monument.

    Hey man you are doing good.....keep on posting the bigger pics, and post your city journal for you first and foremost....you should not be thinking about how many people are going to visit it.  People will come if you just keep updating it and adding more pictures...Have FUN with it! 39.gif 
    It is looking promising so far!  3.gif

    The last pic looks promising! And.. I agree with all that's said above by Mentarman. Just take it easy; usually the nr of views is much higher than the actual nr of posts. Just keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there who DO follow your cj, without posting comments. If I could add some advice to this, I'd say: visit a lot of other cj's and post comments there if you like what you see. This will make more people aware that you are out there, and maybe they'll get curious about your own cj. Second, I'd advice you to make a nice signature with a link to your cj. Instructions on how to do this can be found on top of this forum (or on top of the Simcity forums thread, I'm not sure)

    Good luck! 44.gif

    the city of gorget made a political poll on what to do with the ship yard:

    1) Destroy it and make a new beach
    2) keep it but make a museum of boats and other water things near it
    3) Destroy it and make a navy boat yard
    4) destroy it and build a Casino 11.gif named: a) bridge view b) Royal lake
    5) keep it as a monument
     
    remember what you choose to do will effect how the next part of my update to be so choose wisly

    In the year 550 Bc. a strange land had been echoing signs of life... literally

     
    this strang place was called craopened wich now called croppedville:
     
    newcityjan280011230856878oz.png
     
    it's development now:
     
    croppedvillejul80111230871115d.png
     
    This place had many disasters like:
     
    tornado fuses:

    croppedvillejul220111230872057.png

    croppedvillemar60211230881962x.png
     
     
    now let's go back to oceana:
     
    look at the news:
     
    Hi i'm reporting live from scnn Copter. I'm Fanny hillsake.
     
    if you look down you can see Johny t. hick's act of making the first fire ball his attempt to secretly put matches and lighting them was a bad mistake.
     
    oceaniajan262811230896758ho.png
     
    after:
     
    oceaniajan262811230897481vj.png
     
    a breaking news story! let's go to the scene:
     
    oceaniajan262811230898955eu.png
     
    a drunken idiot had beer garlics and oil covered and *BOOOM* *piece of rubbish flings at the camera man and knocks him self cold* Oh my god! *takes camera* It seems he took a match from what it appears to be a white ball with some lines on it wich appears to be a base ball? It looks like he lit the match up.
     
    this is all for SCNN copter news i'm Fanny Hillsake, back to you Jim
     
    [:0][:0][:0]
     
    ok now let's see what i did:
     
    oceaniajan262811230964880xe.png

    and the whole picture: looks nice?
     
     
    oceaniaoct303311233610641hv.png
     
    A new colony of south amercans had developed a small town called Water springs as you can see there is one big water hole. the area is more humid so humid that in the winter time it is 45 degrees but it feels like 85 degrees. The people there says it doesn't bother them at all. Since they are near Flat Top and Oceana, the humidness is spreading to them. Flat Top is so annoyed because the heatness limits building to one of the bridge ends.
    Flat Top may be half a mile away but the heatness will raise 20 degrees higher! Will Oceana And Flat Top team up and relocate Water Springs? Found out soon...
