Hello Simtropolans!

I'd like to introduce The Towne.

This is a fairly unique concept in city journal ideas...

The basic concept is described here in a little bit of detail, but basically members of the forum are able to set up a sim's life within The Towne and role-play (as much or as little as you want) the life of your sim, and every decision each player (and NPC, or Non Player Character) makes affects the end result of the game.

It's true Natural Growth, but this time instead of one person role-playing the decisions and lives of the sims within the town, many people are, from within the town itself, as members of it.

It has a rich and evolving fabric of rules and form to provide a realistic and enjoyable world, however players don't need to be any more involved than you want to be... the intricacies and depth only exists for the game, and for players that want to explore that level of depth.  You can play without even knowing about it if you want to... just by having a home and watching it grow and evolve as the Towne around your sim evolves.

Currently we have just finished our first season, and are heading into our second season.  Each week of real time represents 6 months of game time, so there's two weeks to a year, with each 6 month season being Summer and Winter alternatively...  Each season we provide an entry showing an over-view of what has occurred in the Towne that season.

Anyone can play!  But you need to be a member of CSGforums to play (for a few reasons).

There's much more to it than the diary of it, there's a lot of discussion and planning and suggestions and stuff, so check it out, lurk, and if you want to join in!  The more the merrier!

@ImVhOzzi - I dunno if there's any similar concepts, but it's proving very popular, and we're all having a bunch of fun with it!

@Samerton - Thanks! It's an evolving idea... originally a concept of mine to have our members represented as a town, but now it's sort of taken on a life of it's own.  Cuz we need fair rules so ppl develop their sims in a realistic way it's become a sort of roll-playing-game... but simplified so it can be followed (and played) by anyone.
