Current Mayor - Marsh (all images and city file edits done by marsh)

The Towne grows more every day. Most people tend to pack in towards the middle of the town, but some are begining to move out to the outskirts.

Image

In the outskirts, people are beginning to clear land for farms. Until now they have fished and hunted to eat. But as a growing settlement, that cannot last for long. Agriculture needs to come into play some day. Now looks like that day.

Image

The townspeople, wanting a place to meet and discuss matters at hand, have pitched in and are clearing the land in preparation for a Towne Hall. The current Towne Hall, being a single room in the back of the bank, obviously does not suit. Ordinary logs however may not cut it. The local loggers are cutting it into clean boards of lumber. Unlike how many of the crude houses in town are currently built.

Image

The Mainstreet of the town is growing fast. A fire house, the "firetrucks" being just a small pushed cart with a pump on it, a butchers shop, and a currently empty shop which someone built to plainly earn a profit (stores named from left to right). And a water tower was also constructed. Dirty lake water was not cutting it for the people anymore.

Image

A local known as Gwenneth Gutripper made a nice little path down to the river. Many people from over the town bring their animals down there to drink often. Gwenneth kindly allowing locals on this side of town to use it.

Image

Image

A newcomer to the towne know as Willem von Draanen, decided on moving far from town. A nice little Barn/house was constructed on the land. And by the looks of it his first Hop harvest should prove profitable. Quaint place really. Quiet and lonely on the riverside.

Image

The Towne has grown much. The new year should prove interesting.

December, 1920.

 Great work here. You've really nailed the look of a town just starting out. I'll have to follow this one. :)

@Samerton - me2! It's going very nicely so far, but it's only just begun... already we have 31 active players in it... and it's only JUST entered week 3! I can't wait to see what it's like a few game-years (real time weeks) down the track!

@cammo2003
- Ya marsh has done a brilliant job of keeping the look of the town.  He gets a bit too keen to develop it sometimes due to his expertise at making really awesome cities, but I think that's a real asset so long as we keep development to realistic speeds.  The overall look of it, and the details that he's putting into it (like gravel clearing for new buildings) is excellent I reckon...

@avrelivs - you'll be very welcome to!
If you have any questions you can talk to folks in chat, or post in the forums... we look forward to you joining our already 31 playing members of this town.  It's a really fun game so far, and it's evolving quickly into something that should be really interesting.
Just today Gorbag and me have figured out how to do prospecting for example, so we can realistically locate various minerals, which will eventually lead to mining projects and industry and stuff.
The whole town is developing very reaslitically because everyone in it are living realistic lives according to realistic guidelines... it's very cool!
Marsh is doing an amazing job of creating the town itself... he'll be getting my vote for re-election for sure!
