Entry 4: Even more divide
So, welcome back to Rokton where apparently growth never ceases. True for the most part this growth is pretty splintered and the results are various communities that may or may not get on all that well but hey, its growth right?
Jumping straight in and to prove the point we have another new settlement by the name of Middleton, creatively named because.... well it's in the middle of Rokton and Henning Bay.
Settled by a load of people from both Henning Bay and Rokton who were tired of the bickering and gossip and weren't allowed to settle in the Rok Estates on account of not working for Mr Rokton directly, these folk cleverly (perhaps the clever move anyone's made in the area, though, given the lack of education this isn't saying much) settled in the middle of Rokton and Henning Bay, allowing themselves easy access to both towns.
Meanwhile Henning Bay has continued to grow outwards as the population of the area rises and more houses are needed. You can also see its expanding commercial area in this picture clearly. Obviously they can't hate Rokton that much, they seem to have taken few design cues from it.
So moving onto what I assume you all noticed in the background of the above picture (or didn't notice if your skim reading/glancing but hell, I'm going to make you scroll back up and make you notice it anyway), the area has now decided that feeding themselves is cheaper than importing food so have begun to build farms (is that the right term? How the hell do you build a field?)
Here you can see them around the Rok Estates though, as with most things in this place, they made a half arsed attempt at actually defining land ownership and boundaries. Might have to fix that.
Speaking of Rok Estates, here's a random close up picture of the peaCEFUL.... (sorry had to shout to be heard over the tractors) area and its nice large homes. Mr Rok pays well at least.
Meanwhile back in Rok, the increased population means more jobs are needed so the nice cle... cough cough.... an harbour got a bit of an expansion alongside the wind farm.
Which leads me to another close up of a lovely little place to have your dinner if your feeling peckish half way through your day!
Mind you it's not all fun and games in Rokton (who'd have guessed eh!). Apparently the loggers aren't to happy about the expansion of the dump right next to there woodland and in other places across the area (they don't understand recycling yet)
So there we have it for another episode of the lovely area of Rokton! Here's the obligatory overview and also a population list for the towns in the area.
Population Counts:
Rokton: 2006
Henning Bay: 1251
Middleton: 489
Rok Pines: 314
Till next time!
(PS. If anyone has any good home security tips can you please give Mr Henning a call. He still hasn't built a school yet and people aren't looking all that pleased!)
(PPS: I've tried using some after effects and editing on the images in this entry. I quite like it but let me know what you guys think!)
