Anduin Valley Revisited

[ky72x 13]

Hey there John!

I don't even want to know how long it took you to tally up all those posts! Patience, I guess... but I don't have any! I still truly wish I had come visited here a lot sooner than I did, but for all of the excellent work that I've seen here, it was worth it. Can't wait for the next project to come along.

Whoa, that's quite a storm! Nice shot.

[Shanna 1]

Hi, Darmok ...

Sometimes I saw this (Excuse me bad photo quality): 

Don't worry about snowstorm - spring will come here soon ... 

AVR is one of my favorite CJ's on Simtropolis and only one step for page #200 ...

Best regard ...

[GiganticPenguins 0]

Darmok, your city is awesome!!! 

I was trying to learn the style of terrain transforming and yours is vy great!

I hv read up to 40 pages of your CJ so far and I will keep it on!! Cool city!

one question:

does anyone know where I can find the grass lots with trees (orthogonal & diagonal) as border?? Its great for recreational fillers. Sorry I cant upload pic

[Darmok 34]

Wyldone

Of course you are! See you later

The Big Z

Yep lot's of snow and my neighbor on the other side of the street is even worse! Probably due to the wind I guess, the snow banks on either side of his driveway are already between 5 and 6 feet tall! Last time I've seen so much snow that early was about 15 years ago!

Hey Mike,

Thanks for stopping by, much appreciated man.

And about the "nice snowstorm", let's say that, "nice", was not the word I had in mind while blowing that *&??% snow away at 6.00 in the morning.... hehehehe...

Hi Kyle,

Well it was long, but was worth it, after all, the readers and posters made AVR success.

As for the next project it'll be at SC4D with David, and after that,,,, let's say that I've something cooking somewhere.... but that's another story...

See you

Skram

Welcome to AVR Skram.

As for the snow I'd better get used to it, it's only beginning!

See you!

Silur

Hi Nicks,

Well.... You beat me with this pic! The last time I saw so much snow was in the 1970's....

Take care

Great job on your awards... well deserved.

[your_adress_here 11]

Well well well...

Congrats on the Trixies,! I see that my nomination message was displayed with your award at the ceremony.

It's awesome to see you win the top CJ award! Not to mention the mosaic award, which is also impressive, what with every other CJ having very nice mosaics theses days!

Well, I was really hoping to write more, but sadly, I must go walk to school. At least it's only -8C!

CONGRATULATIONS JOHN ON YOUR TRIXIES WELL DESERVED MY FRIEND

[CasperVg 575]

Whew, just managed to read this wonderful Journal from page 1 to 134, been a hell of a job, and not even close to the end...! I think I broke my mouses scroll weel... Reading this whole journal has given me loads and loads of ideas, and given me the idea that just playing on totally flat landscapes isn't always more fun then in nice, hilly mountain areas. I enjoyed reading trough all the technical updates, which andlightend me about how to create nice, smooth slopes. They also thaught me about usage of natural overpasses and how to create great park areas. Congratulations about your Trixie-award, it is very well-deserved! Greetings,

[mightygoose 92]

well, trixies... congratulations my right honorable goose, most deserved and close call on another couple. AVR is a record breaker on many many levels and an outstanding contribution to simtropolis. the mosaic as i look at it now, i could gaze for hours drinking in the effort and attention to detail you have put in. i will check back here again in a couple of weeks because knowing you you will have left us more gifts...

[Silur 3,308]

Hi, John ...

My photo is from the 1970's.... too ... - This is East Siberia ...

Congrats on the Trixie, Darmok!

Of course, was it any surprise(no)?

[____----____ 37]

took me a while to catch up, however the pics of snow might be my favorite of all, so jealous! Later, Alek

[purpledaddy 6]

Wow!  You remembered both of my posts from such a long time ago!!!  

Anyway congratulations on Trixie.  The Trixie of the year!!! 

Your CJ was just as realistic and educational as I remember back in the day.  It even gave me some form and function ideas for my SD back in the day.

[sobol 1]

it's not natural to see this on page 5... really.

[Darmok 34]

Welcome to Anduin Valley Caspervg

Sorry about your mouse wheel! hehehe...

If you like rolling hills, you should also read Nardo69's Urland CJ, you'll find many ideas there as well! And he's a master at railroads.

Thanks for your kind words, and keep on playing!

See you

Hi John,

Thanks brother goose.

And don't wait too long for another of those huge mosaic, it won't happen.... well at least for a year! hehehe...

Take care.

-John   

Silur

Siberia in the 70's you say, well, never been there, and I sure hope that they have less snow these days!

But I can tell you that in my hometown at that same period we had as much snow.

Thanks for your always kind support Silur, much appreciated!

See you

-John

   

sobol (TWICE)

Thanks Sobol, and don't worry about AVR sliding down to the fifth page.... I'm sure it'll end up father than that later on.

That's life and AVR had it's time in the sun.

Always good to see you!

Thanks for stopping by!

bbfan02

Thanks bbfan!

And as much as I'm glad to have receive one, I always wish that some of the other CJ'ers would receive one, there's an awful lot of great CJ's who goes unrecognized! Kudos to all those people who continue to work on their creations with such dedication!

Take care!

Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for that last message my friend, I was thinking of you the other day when my friend Richard, you know, the one who went to Turkey last summer, well on our lunch hour he was talking about his vacations and still was thanking you for the tips you gave him.

Wishing you the best holidays period ever!

Warmest regards

-John

Alafel

Thanks Alafel!

aleking

Hey Alek!

I'm real glad to see you here at the end!

And gladder still to see that you've started a new CJ, I've always marveled at your urban skills!

See you there!

-John

P.S. Wishing you the best for the holidays!

purpledaddy

Hi purpledaddy,

Hehehe.... don't be fooled by my statistic keeping, it's a simple matter of keeping an Excel file of the CJ, I started to keep track of the posters god knows why and before I knew it the file got huge! But it's fun to see all those names, great memories!

Wishing the best for you and your family for the upcoming holidays!

-John

sobol

Sobol my friend, as I said above, don't worry about AVR sliding in the page count, what matters is the memories we have of this experiment! And as far as I'm concerned It has been a great ride!

Have a great holiday period my friend!

-John

Hi, John ... 

Sometimes we need some snow ...

Merry Christmas ...

And Good Luck ...

And I'm waiting Your new works ...

THANK YOU !!!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Bonjour John. D'abord félicitations pour le prix Trixie, c'est vraiment de grand mérite.

I had been very busy with my studies and exams the last couple of months, so I only get to write now. And now I even don't know what to say... it's simply awesome. That large mosaic on page 160 pefectly shows the amount of details you put into your work, it's fascinating to go into it. once again Especially when you haven't played in a while and the things you maybe used to do aren't that evident anymore... well, I'm getting nostalgic. So I understand that was it from AVR? I think there's no better was to end a CJ than with those impressive mosaics.

Je te souhaite joyeux Noël et une bonne année 2008! Take care!

- Phil

[taka2K 0]

I think your CJ deserved my first post : the Trixie award that got me in there was deserved too, I guess !

AVR is great and as so many told it before me, your terraforming is your best talent, eventhoug you're also very good at designing, building, forecasting, etc.

Keep up the good work and keep on inspiring newbies and newcomers to SC4 and ST !

[Yoman3 5]

Just wanted to stop by and say Merry Christmas John, heres to a healthy new year ! *Raises glass of Vodka*

[ky72x 13]

I'll be on the lookout for your future projects! Congrats on that very well-deserved Trixie. Two years in a row, that's quite an accomplishment. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

- Kyle

[SpecialEddie 3]

Merry Christmas, John.
