Great update, Utora! I like the postcard and the other pics. And I look forward to the elections.

How about a New Holland Football (soccer) competition? Anyway, keep it up!

[ChicAgo333 2]

WOAH, this is one of the best updates ive seen you do! those pictures that look like theyre taped to the post look awesome, especially the quality of the photos and the light colored ones look awesome too, kinda like a painting

 

i think i will sign up a little later to be in this journal, cause i dont really have the time right now to choose something

Wow... you're constantly outdoing yourself. Great update!  I hope some one some day will send me that postcard.

Woodman: Congratulations! You've been approved! Private Wood will report at Ruige Rotsen Military Base soon! Thanx for signing up!

flrscf: thanks for the compliment! Ehm....the results of the elections are already known: Utora suffered a dramatic defeat! And maybe one day a football competition will be born in New Holland...

ChicAgo333: Wow! thanks for the generous compliment! For the painting-like pictures I was inspired by the Chicago journal here on Simtrop: there you can see the kind of pale brownish-yellow looking seventies photographs, and those look awesome! For the picture quality: I modified the pics a bit in photoshop and sharpened them, I must say I'm very content with the results. Only problem is you have to keep pics smaller than 600x450 pixels, otherwise they exceed 200kb...And: Would be cool if you signed up!

London_Wyverns: thanx for the compliment!

Dannato: Thanks!! That's a great compliment, and yeah maybe one day someone might receive that postcard!

 

Edit: Yay! my 300th post!!!

OMG! Utora, you've really outdone yourself this time. The effects you put on those screenshots are simply astounding. The postcard was the best. There's something I can't really point out in your CJ that is very attractive to me and it's safe to say that New Holland is unique. Definately one of my top 3 favourite CJ's. Thanks for adding me in your update, I really appreciate it. It was very creative of you to introduce me into the CJ by making up the plane crash. And I'am already writing my third article? That's nice to hear. Hope to cover more stories in New Holland. I'am really looking forward to your future updates. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING ME!

I thought the elections would be in three days since your last update. But is Vanderburg now the president of NH????

Subedei: Thanks for the nice compliment

Dark Avatar: You're welcome! Thanks for the nice compliment about the region being attractive to you, and I consider it an honor to welcome the creator of an awesome cj as a character in NH!!

flrscf:  I haven't been very explicit about this, just gave some hints... Read the story of Mike and you know the answer.. Of course a detailed analysis of Utora's defeat will show up in the next update!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Ubelievable, simply unbelievable, Utora. Your creation here is so outstanding , that postcard you made looks professional, and not saying that you aren't professional already . Great job! Keep this up!

Oh... I think I forgot that part of the update. I understand it now.

[mayormommy 8]

Thanks for including me in the story, utora! I had no idea I would play such an influential role in the election.  I'm looking forward to seeing how this all works out.

[seville 0]

Wow amazing update!  Messelmonde remains breathtakingly picturesque despite its growth.  I can't come close to that level of detail at all...and what a twist in the plot!  What will become of New Holland without Mayor Paul at the helm?

 

Oh and as an aside...Singapore!  My homecountry got mentioned in the plot =D

Great update Utora. I really like those 70's kinda pictures and that sticky tape. And besides that the city looks stunning as well. Those canals look just like the real thing (see pic below).
This CJ is getting more interesting by the update, so keep 'em coming.

Amsterdam: city of inspiration

[mrbisonm 1,622]

I just came to have a look and not to participate. You will already have more than enough to handle. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.....lol.

I like your concept of the story and pics, well done, and also the details in your story are definitively outstanding.

Wish you luck utora and keep up the great work. I'll be back, bet on that!....lol

That was a really nice postcard I think maybe i'll make one myself later on  One question: Have you tought of making a red light district or something. That would be really cool cause your cj in a way is holland  Keep up the good work...

[MrCinatit 30]

well, utora, it's taken me about three days to think of a comment worthy of your last update....but, so far, i can only think of most excellent. some very good picture special effects in there...very nice.

Mikeaut1: Thanks for the outstanding compliment!

mayormommy: I'm glad you like it! I wonder how things will turn out too! Beware of the next update!

seville: Well, I guess it will all be revealed... thanks for the compliments, I can't even come close to your writing skills!

Nijntje123: Thank you for the nice compliment!

Raindog: Wow! That pic looks stunning! I see that I need to plant some more trees, I'm surprised about the resemblance

MrBisonm: Thanks for the compliment! You're right, I'm spending almost a full day for each update... it's definitely becoming massive!

Speedy: A warm welcome to this journal, and thanks for the compliment! A red light district? cool idea, I'll keep that in mind!

Mr Cinatit: Thanks!, That's quite something: spending three days to think about a comment! I'm sure your journals keep me breathless as well!

 

Update is under way, just wait a few minutes!

Chapter 2: A new president, and the introduction of Renaud Seville, Raindog, Rasputin and Andrew George

Finally, on november 28^th of the year 22NHE, the official results of the presidential elections were made public. After a full seven days of counting and recounting the votes, Conrad Vanderburg could finally be inaugurated as New Holland

I've got a cool house - right by the Cathedral - nice! That'll bump the value of the place up! (Us accountants, you see, think of everything as Pounds & Pence, Euros & Cents, Dollars & Cents etc.  That suit I'm wearing must've cost a pretty penny too! Nice stuff Utora! This journal is really taking off now, probably one of the most popular on here - your shout-out for more support seems to have worked......

My jaw's on the floor!  I'm honestly deeply impressed by the beauty of your images, the appealing presentation of the characters and the care you put in this all.  I'm speechless, and believe you me that doesn't happen very often! Now ll I can say is:

[Mikeaut1 261]

Oh my gosh Utora. This is amazing!!!! I wish I had photoshop to make such outstanding images like yours! Unfortunately I use MS Paint

 

On a serious note, this update was one of my favorites. That beautiful picture of the river going through the woods is outstanding . All those BATted buildings give Arenburg a flavor of its own. This is awesome! Can't wait for another update!!!!!!!            

[mayormommy 8]

Hey, I'm cute! And much younger and skinnier! This is great!

[ChicAgo333 2]

im amazed at your pictures, utora, they make mine look like a 2 year old kid's drawings

[Gizmos robot 0]

how could humans make the alian base do they make mind control devices here is a duckey

[Dark Avatar 8]

Another great update as usual. It was creative of you have added people's photos too! I didn't know i look that good. lol.  Where did you get those trees that are lited up at night in Arenburg Harbour? Also where did you find the fences by the train tracks in the pictures that has the Ageor Verzekeringen arrow pointing to the office? I would love to have those. Anyways, keep up the good work, the story's getting more and more interesting. 

[seville 0]

Once again, spectacular work!  New Holland is really becoming rich in culture and history, with so many characters living and working in it.  Looking forward to the next update!  And thanks for giving Seville such a nice story =)  Mmm...the Nature Party sounds like something that I'd subscribe to...
