ah yes, jamming to "Unavailable Video". Lovely song! Gets everyone pumped and motivated.

yeah, idk what's going on there, apparently youtube's like "no video for you!" lol

Me? I'm just watching game dev videos while trying to get back to 16% (from being bumped way down to 14 today)

Ah, must be region locked then, mustn't be available in the United States.

I'm in the United Kingdom and able to view them just fine.  I'll edit my post to include the song names, should anyone wish to jam along.

[Simizen 1,100]

yeah, i honestly hate the region locking on youtube. Like, we had this issue with DVDs and games. The internet finally fixed it, so why are we going back to region locking everything? Nobody wants that.

Plus, isn't Queen an American thing? lol. Really should all be visible here in the states

Naw mate, they're Bri'ish!  Gawd save the Queen^*! 

^{* Or should that be "King" now...?}

I've been waiting 24 days for this day. The time is almost here. And I know what'll happen next.

Now I'm running for the hills...

Gotta go. See ya! 

[Simizen 1,100]

beautiful

An invoice, and the robot mating call of dial-up. Definitely unexpected

Spoiler

edit: forgot to add it broke when i paid, oh well

I was expecting so much worse...     We know how Shattermore loves sticking it to the little guy... 

I'm glad the Discount covered the Taxes...

[Simizen 1,100]

so it does!! awesome, we're coming out on top!!

[CaptCity 4,915]

Good thing my astronomical Simtropolis staff salary didn't put me in a higher tax bracket...

@CorinaMarie

You win the contest of least bulbs broken between us.

[CaptCity 4,915]

Both... ^^ Need a magnifying glass to see those tiny numbers...

Actually, nice job on conserving resources... (unlike some  )

[Moxy 232]

Good thing I kept my smashing to a reasonable total. I'd hate to have to pay what @CaptCity has to pay. This was a lot of fun. Thanks guys!

[Simizen 1,100]

i like how y'all have opposing trend lines

I absolutely loved those loading messages

Oh, I know there are some paying much more than I am... 

Something might need to be done about that... 

[CaptCity 4,915]

Love Shattermore's new facilities... 

 

Too bad it's surrounded by used car lots...

The news sounds bleak for some...      While others will be dancing in the streets!

Which will any of you all be? Hmmm... 

 

 

Finally, sounds like the authorities know what they're doing.

This lightbulb company makes it very complicated to access their web portal   I was hoping they had a customer rewards program or something, smashing those things is addictive...

I can't wait to show my daughter this invoice.  She was the one who insisted on breaking the lights every time I was online.  You guys really went above and beyond!

[AceUzumaki 11]

At some point I discovered zooming out added more bulbs. Didn't try that method again after the first attempt. The bulbs became harder to click on!

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

This was one of the funniest events ever! So nice.
but I'm not paying, you better call SimtroPolice

However...

asdfghjkl...!!!  Slipped below 25%!  Bah!  *We need an angry llama emoticon*

Oh well, at least I did actually manage to reach such heights...

A very minor, temporary setback for Shattermore. They already have most of the political establishment in their pockets, and the SimNation's top lawyers... 

[hugues aroux 3,867]

The bill thing... LOL! Enormous ! the icing on the cake .. little crash on payment .. 

[The Thinker 479]

Hmm, I've noticed that the discount rates on the invoices are different for each individual, wonder what the thresholds for those are...

Also I must question the legitimacy of these invoices, the CS$ taxes for wherever that outlet has set up are ridiculously high; a company with accountants as savvy as Shattermore's would never let the firm set up shops in localities with such punitively high tax rates...I smell a rat...

This is the best event for my cities financial budget after city obliteration

I'm Canadian, so I'm used to things costing more and just paying more in general.

[metarvo 711]

I guess I've been too busy to rack up the big numbers this time but it was fun!

If you hover-over the discount box, you can see it has two components:

The Loyalty Discount is based on consecutive days of breaking at least one bulb.

Also, I believe the Bulk Discount might be adjusted for quantity brackets? (Our invoice creation expert is sleeping atm.)

WELL I TRIED TO PAY BUT I COULD NOT BE DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
