Quite a self explanatory title, don't you think?

... it looked like getting a cab was going to be even harder than leaving East Berlin. I will forever remember the Heinrich-Heine-Strasse checkpoint. ------------------------------------ Comment answers on an (eventual) next update! Credit to Mr Saturn64 for inspiring this update with that terminal picture [link]!

A previous message Thank you all very much for your support during these previous days, both the users and the ISC guys. You all have made the whole task much easier, funnier and rewarding. I've enjoyed imaging, creating and checking stuff for these Simlympics, and I hope you enjoy these days too. Due to my upcoming move to Germany this February, I've had to push the Simlympics Opening Ceremony to an early date to avoid as much as possible any disruptions when the moving day arrives; this is why there has...

Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, kids from around the world, good evening to all of you! Ann: Be all welcome to the closing ceremony of these Winter Simlympics! Jim: It's that time, Ann? Time has flown these days! Ann: Yes, Jim, it's sad but all good things lead to an end... All closing ceremonies are a bit sad, but, as usual, there's one answer to this sadness: each day passed is one day less to see the XVIII Summer Simlympics. Jim: Why don't we put an end to this sadness remembering some of the most...

We're going west to take a look to Mt. Independence, where the hard-core snow events will take place. Mt. Independence's base can be reached in about an hour by car, and it would have been impossible without it to present this bid. Its world-class ski resort is only the tip of the iceberg, brand new, state-of-the-art venues are being built at the moment to ensure everything is ready if the Simlympics are hosted here. Mt. Independence Ski Resort is the epicenter of the Simlympic activity far from Benson...

Right from SimSports, here's the first part of my Winter Simlympics bid. The exams, uni projects and this new SC4 project made Al-Qurayyah to take a little rest meanwhile I can't provide good-quality updates. Stay tuned for Part II! *Not an original logo, but I think this is one of the best Olympics logos ever! Where is Benson? The City of Benson is placed somewhere on the North American midwest. Its privileged situation, in a plain area next to the Rockies, makes it the perfect spot for a Winter...

The Dam

By TekindusT,

Comment Replies MamaLuigi945: Thanks for commenting! k50dude: Thank you for your comment! I seriously thought on that airport set and tried it on this setting, but looked too tall for my taste and the transition between the concourse and the building surrounding the RHW was too ugly, then I decided to use the ACB-VLT terminals. Huston: Thank you for your comment! It is photoedited, I wouldn't have the time nor the patience for reskinning, lotting and modding. 1000...: Thanks for commenting! As said above,...

Resistance II

By TekindusT,

Some days ago I realized that the pic I posted in the first entry of this CJ had vanished. Sadly, I don't keep it, then I prefered to get into SC4 again and make something a bit better, but with the same concept. Here's the result. Sorry if it sounds repetitive...

Comment Replies vivapanda: Thank you for your comment! Benedict: Thanks for your comment! You must be as stunned as I was when I first saw Heblem's... Blunder: Thank you for your comment! I showed (the past simple form of show is showed?) the pic to a friend and the first thing he noticed was that strange thing. Evillions: Thank you for commenting! It's going to take an afternoon or two, but the results will be worth! 10000...: Thanks for commenting! Yes, all water you see is 2x2 tiles ploppable water. It...

OK, here we go! This CJ will be easy to follow. I'll post the random stuff generated by my SC4 gameplay, in the game and beyond it. Photoeditions, maps, pure data; everything that I think I should show, but don't know where, will be here. In the meanwhile, T&R isn't on hold yet, but I haven't had time to CJ in the last 2-3 weeks. Hope to post something soon! And that's the first update: Resistance "Laplace Trasmission number X236. STOP. Sharks are in the city, more coming tomorrow. STOP. Bohr taking...

The whole nation paralyzes for an hour an a half twice a year. The reason is...

Barnanova has a passion for football, and has its own derby, popularly called "The Clash". The...

Comment Replies @Schulmanator: Thank you! @MilitantRadical: I'm not sure what are you meaning with your comment, but thank you anyways for your support. @Benedict: Thank you once again for that neverending support!

Let me know your opinion! Lübbenauer Tor is a kind of "inner response" to a sensation I...

GTA: Barnanova Tales

By TekindusT,

One year after the Liberty City happenings, Niko Bellic goes east. The particular anti-drug policy* of a tiny nation in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea called Barnanova can make a man like Niko milionaire in no time... or get killed. Drug production and dealing is a very risky business in Barnanova, but it involves a whole underworld that communicates the last street dealer with the highest members of the Royal Family. A world of corruption, chased by the Anti-Drugs Brigade, that is waiting for Niko to...

Going World-Class

By TekindusT,

Comments replied on Lübbenauer Tor CJ. Barnanova-Mediterranean Airport and BarnanovAirlines are meant together. The success of each one depends on the success of the other, and the generated synergies directly impact on the small Principality of Barnanova. A new formal partnership is oficialized today but also, we're unveiling some novelites. Since its inception, BarnanovAirlines has used BNN as its operations hub, but there never was an oficial agreement on it. Today, BarnanovAirlines becomes a priority...

Dreamgirls

By TekindusT,

It is always so difficult to be the best at something. It requires a natural born talent, a physical condition, but also the hardest training to push your abilities to the limit. On every sport, there's somebody who is simply above all the others, usually by a mix of the described qualities. There are a lot of examples of individuals, or teams, that have built a legend on their respective sports: Tiger Woods in golf, FC Barcelona in football, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna in Formula 1, the New...

Christmas Cards

By TekindusT,

Al-Qurayyah is an Islamic nation, but the thousands of Western-born people living there meet with their friends and celebrate Christmas as if they were at home. They usually share their traditions with people coming from other countries. It's going to be a white Christmas in Benson, it's beginning to snow on Christmas Eve. Traffic is very heavy at the Downtown, many people are finishing their last-minute purchases. The Barnanovese Royal Family planted their Christmas tree, the largest one in the nation, a...

Comment replies Benedict: Thanks for the comment! Here's my (eventual) return to CJing! GreekMan: Thank you and glad you liked it! Schulmanator: As great as it was on my hands, I guess... Forthwall: Thanks! Tried to do it a bit "special" given that there are barely no "rules" on how a closing ceremony has to go. Ace<3: Thank you! mitsos: Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------- All wars are bad. But civil wars and popular revolutions have even more nasty consequences. Most of the...

I'll answer to all the comments in the next update here, don't worry! The upcoming Spanish elections tomorrow inspired this update that I've been planning during a long time. I've been waiting for the moment I'd be inspired enough to post it and here it is. Politics... Here's an small presentation of all the political parties represented in the Barnanovese Parliament. Almost all political parties in the nation are represented because it is so tiny that there are very few parties. 151 seats. Majority: 75...

Here's a kind of stuff seen here and there about my primary nation made with SC4. I'm currently planning on a massive reconstruction, but this is just a very-long term project that I don't know when will start. In the meanwhile, Barnanovese Stuff! The Typical Wikipedia Infobox! (figures don't match with the ones shown in TowerDude's excellent World Fair, have been updated) A much closer map of Barnanova... And a map showing its dependancies, as a result of discoveries and expeditions ... that have these...

Replies from the last update coming on the next update. First of all, a short message for you guys. As some of you may know, I had to give up CJing last February due to the incompatibility of devoting time to SC4 and living my Erasmus Experience at the same time. A LOT has gone on these six last months; incredible things and the most unexplainable emotions, the wildest parties ever and the longest research nights ever for my end of degree project. It would have been totally impossible to develop a decent...
