SimCity - Memes / Jokes

[airman15 4,113]

Happened to me. My largest city is unplayable due to some sort of corruption.

It was the first city I showed in the GTR. Thanks to the Simtropolis Site Hack in 2008, nearly all the pics are gone, and I can't take any more screenshots

Although I do have some super old pics on some external drive somewhere, but that won't let me play the city itself.

I know that feeling..

I once had a computer that was quick, load times weren't too bad and I put hours upon hours of work into my cities. The motherboard shorted out and I lost everything.

I now work on a fallback computer and I have the game on a flash drive which I take everywhere with me so at least I can play on different computers.

All my cities and plugins were gone plus some early BATs were lost. Granted I have all of my first downloads plus a truckload of new modds that would make better cities than before, but I can't work like this forever.. If anything, my flash drive is my lifeline for SC..

Even a child of 8 year old playing SimCity 2000 knows that raising taxes, this happens:

And if low taxes, the following happens:

SimCity 2000: someone is playing with us, and bad.

@Alejandro24: At least Rajoy isn't in charge of city planning. It's something.

@all: LOL!

Another from me!

I do not remember how taxes affect development in SimCity 2000 and I forgot what subir meant but I was able to take it from context.

[Alejandro24 575]

@TekindusT, you're right, at least he's not in urban development. One of the comments in ¡CR! says that he should play SC2k, I agree, all the politicians should play SC (2k or 4) at least one time in their lives. What is swag?

¡¿?! Subir: RAE Translation: upload, raise, gain, go up... in this case raise. The government is raising the taxes.

Swag is short for swagger though it could also mean merchandise. Swagger is a "cool" style based off those that walk funny (with a swagger).

[hym 358]

What is swag?

Although it isn't exclusively used for this purpose, "swag" is usually used in conjunction with flashy, expensive items or promotional gifts and freebies handed out at various events and functions. The engineering career fair I've been to before hands out a small plastic bag so attendees have something to carry around the various brochures and freebies that the recruiters hand out. It is jokingly referred to as the "swag bag."

Same in Greece as well. All governments and the guys of I.M.F. MUST play Simcity and stop play with us.

The problem is, of course, if you put taxes too low then you can't afford anything.

The solution, however, is obvious. Type "fund" twice, then issue a bond through the budget screen, and repay the first two bonds. Free money.

^ Are you sure this isn't troll logic?

The next time some egomaniac at my school says they have swag, I'm going to say this.

[astronelson 339]

^ Are you sure this isn't troll logic?

It's a 100% legitimate (read: cheat) way of generating money in SimCity 2000. For some reason bond rates are a signed integer, and taking out two bonds at 25% interest forces an integer overflow. The bond you take out through the budget screen thus has negative interest, giving you money every month. Then you repay the first two so as to not pay the exorbitant interest on them.
