work in progress - SimTropolis Yearbook

[masher 3]

Hey!!Hey!! I got an idea!!!

You know my Cj Koda right? I Did a Sountrack for that Movie/Cj and i found Two songs we could use as background music for the Yearbook's website(or any form this will take)

The Songs are:

 

GREEN DAY
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

And...

VITAMIN C

Graduation (Friends Forever)

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

[SimMaster 17]

Yeah, I'm kind of blind-sighted on what the research team should be doing at this point.

[vidioman 21]

Gee, Masher, you sure like those mid-90s songs, eh? Green Day is good, but Vitamine C? Well, the song does fit...

 

-It's better than that tatu song

[jmusshorn 7]

I agree with SimMaster... What exactly should we begin with?

- James

[masher 3]

 SimMaster:I know what about research?JK...JK So far i have the noobs guide,My movie/cj,the LA tower that might never be released(man when is he going to release that?),and the peg thingy but i guess that won't make it to the year book....

 

 

Vidioman:Gee, Masher, you sure like those mid-90s songs, eh? Green Day is good, but Vitamin C? Well, the song does fit...

 

-It's better than that tatu song

In Canada, we have a music station called MuchMusic, and at the end of the year, they hasve a special called Fromage where they make fun of stupid songs, and the they're not gonna get us one was the worst.

[General Gunfire 0]

Researchers should be looking for information! Go back to the first ever pages and work your way up to the most recent posts... Things like Forum Upgrades, Trixie Awards Thread, and anything made by Dirk is worth keeping...and of course you have to find the thread that started SimMars. Simtropolis Convention, S&A Corp...Just gather information that you would think is worth being remembered...

Editors will be correcting MI6Ash's grammar and editing the final copy of the YB. Pretty simple job..eh? No!  Its going to take a lot of work from the Editors in the end...MI6Ash might want to describe you job a bit more in a post...

Hope this helps..I think you know what photographers do... Find interesting pictures of BAT, CJ's, and anything else you can find..

Also GG I will put you on the team...

-Simman

Here's the Staff List as it stands right now...

 

Committee Leader - Simman, dudyconstructor

Author - MI6Ash

Looks like an interesting project.  I'll be looking in on this as it progresses.

[+Guest]

[+Guest]

Thanks for adding me to the photography team.

[Ron Swanson 1]

Um I hate to bring this up again, but I noticed I'm still not listed on the editing team. I feel I have posted a lot on this, but it would be nice if I could have my name up there. Thanks...

[General Gunfire 0]

Thanx for adding me simman, I made my own personalized participation logo, I like to have that font...

[djparsons226 0]

so photographers get pics from memorable BATs and CJs, but should we ask permission first before using?

and by the way, are the groups going to get together in IM meetings or something?

[hummer0328 6]

This sounds like a good idea.  I would help out, if I didn't already have enough to do.

[rybolton 135]

Sorry I didn't finish my interview earlier Ash, the phone got the better of me.  I'll get back to you on the last question at the end of next week.  I hope to have something nice to add to my page by then.

depending on what pictures it is, some you will have to ask for permission to use. (like pictures of users)

eventually we are going to have a forum here at SimTropolis to use...

[the_new_simman 5]

[Terse Pig 4]

Hey, I apologize for not lurking around this thread so as to keep up with all of the developments.

I have received PM's from Mdz1001 and Sc4_cewl concerning positions on the editing team but I have not had the chance to speak with the newer additions. So, if the new additions to the team could PM me so that we can get acquainted I would truly appreciate it. If I do not immediately return your PM please do not be discouraged. I just bought a new house and I am remodeling and moving in all at once so my access to a computer is limited. I look forward to working with everyone and making sure this thing comes off the lines looking smooth, sleek, and legible!!

Also as Chief Editor, I would like to ask for a cap on the editing team because it seems to be getting out of hand.

[MC6Ash 4]

your request for the cap will be fullfilled.

[the_new_simman 5]

No more people are being exepted onto the edting team...all other teams are still open for people to join though...

[dev 47]

I posted earlier, I want to be a editor/project leader (SInce this was my idea :-))

 

I was not gonna move on it until I heard from Dirk,  and I was gonna lead it up, Thanks Ash for doing this!

 

BUT I feel as if I should be in a leadership position, I may sound pushy BUT---- This was my idea:-)

 

Anyway> Please Respond,

An idea came to me  this morning while waiting ST pages to load. What would you think of having a page of the yearbook for listing Simtropolis donors? This would be anyone who donated in the same timeframe covered by the yearbook. Does Dirk keep track of that info? It's pretty standard practice for nonprofit annual reports to list all the year's donors. I thought maybe we could keep the Sim City theme by having Stage 1 level donors ($1-$10), Stage 2 ($10-$20), etc. Some people are happy to give anonymously but sometimes others like a little pat on the back. On a related idea, we also could list Grampa Al's scholarship winners on that page. Is it doable? (<-- a fine grammarian am I)

[Terse Pig 4]

Yo' sho do bees good wif da gramma' MayoMammi!

 

I like the idea of having a donor page in the yearbook. It certainly would reflect reality. My yearbooks all have ads at the back and they most certainly helped finance the creation of them. The donor page could either be ultra-creative such as making a pseudo-ad for the donor (e.g. If Dusktrooper was a donor there could be an ad with one of his buildings in it, kind of like a corporate sponsor). On the other end of the spectrum it could be a list such as they have for Board of Directors or Boosters.

[MC6Ash 4]

thank you for the suggestions, I will add them to the book.. (it is just breaking 30 pages)
