The Saga of Wax Superior continues! For the next month or so, I will be posting "The In-Between Times" on the SimCity 2013 forum CJ section. This will cover the events between the end of Part 1 and the beginning of Part 2. Instead of creating a new journal entry for each of them here, I will simply update this entry with the link to the forum section. Here is the title image for "The In-Between Times". The In-Between times can be found at: Episode 1 - Posted Feb 18th, 2014. City Profile - Wax Hill - Posted...

November, Year 5 Fort Simian Newsroom, 7 PM, November 11th. "I'm Jasper Pinrod and Welcome to our coverage of Election Night on this lovely, crispy November evening. The ballots are soon to be counted, so stay tuned. Our guests tonight include local analyst Jerome Lightfoot, and local businessmen Bruce Morrison and William MacGregor. We'll start with Jerome: What's in play in tonight's election?" "There's a lot at play for the markets tonight, Jasper. For one, business confidence will benefit from a return...

August, Year 5 "The top breaking news story this hour: a large number of government ministers and Blue party junior shadow ministers have resigned en masse, citing moral discomfort with last months ratification of the Rio Preto Gift Consolidation Act, which brought into being a million dollar gift and exclusive ownership rights of Fort Simian's coal operations and deposits. The opposition attack, which has been relentless since their defeat in last years election, has stepped up in anticipation of a large...

June, Year 5 "In latest news, the emerging budget crisis in Fort Simian has reached new heights as treasurer Chris Bowandarrow signaled the need to consider unconventional methods for recovering the cost of loans incurred as a result of the giant lizard disaster earlier this year. Shadow treasurer Mike Baseball has continued the opposition attack, claiming that the loans weren't needed in the first place, and furthering opposition calls for a fresh election in the face of polls showing a disastrous...

June, Year 5 The Simian Hill hospital, built by local miners, opens today in light of the continuing and rapid development of the Simian Hill project. "Let this hospital stand as an edifice to the enduring spirit of the miners here in Simian Hill." Villiers Moineau proclaimed the opening of the Simian Hill hospital in light of a population explosion during the ramp up of Phase III of the project. It was the first time that the Rio Preto executive, charged with overseeing the Simian Hill project, had been...

April, Year 5 A tall white man with grey streaky hair donned a hard hat and walked along the outskirts of the almost complete Simian Hill brewery. He stopped and turned to admire the building, ensconced in a thickly, dirty industrial district, surrounded by incinerators, mining service and wastewater treatment. The glistening paragon of Rio Preto power in Wax Superior, the Trade HQ, stood tall in the background. He twirled his moustache as contractors walked to and fro in front of him, grabbing tools,...

March, Year 5 "How long until they arrive?" "About an hour. Would you like to see the latest development shots while we wait, Mr Brand?" "Sure, why not. I'll have Jerry make us some coffee". Clayton Brand slumped in his chair and looked out of the window of the Trade HQ towards the new Metals HQ, scheduled to take over as the Rio Preto HQ once completed. He played with a pen in one hand, while scratching his forehead with the other. Countless mines sprawled out, surrounding the new HQ. Everything was going...

January, Year 5. "Contracted to Fort Simian for port works. Man, or is it, wo-MAN, you must have really pissed off the Preto guys!" Enrico Gutierrez munched on a cucumber sandwich as he scoffed at Gillian Maholm's assignment to Fort Simian as part of the "license to operate" contractor team of Rio Preto. The two had worked through the nights, on 12 hour shifts, troubleshooting the new port development at Fort Simian, aimed at developing the Fort Simian coal export industry. Though their expertise came at a...

October, Year 4 "The weather's been a wee bit cool of late". A group of 5,000 onlookers waited anxiously for Mayor Bevan to make her appearance on a cold, crisp October morning. The citizens of Fort Simian had long anticipated their link to the outside world; a train station capable of opening up new opportunities, bringing new tourists and granted rapid access to the mines developing at breakneck speed in Simian Hill. All was not well, however, as Rick Green and a sizeable group of supporters came...

The Wax Superior Herald July, Year 4 NEW HORIZON IN WAX SUPERIOR Author: Moe Rackswell Clare Bevan has secured a narrow majority after an intensely fought election campaign. The hard work hasn't ended for Bevan, however, as the first bricks are laid on the new mining camp at Simian Hill.

After a day of disciplined campaigning, in which entitlement fraud clouded...

The Wax Superior Herald July, Year 4 ELECTION SPECIAL: FINAL POLICY LAUNCH Author: Moe Rackswell A tough week of campaigning has seen surprises within and without. With the election tomorrow, this special edition of the Herald outlines the major policy platforms of the major parties. During the past week, tensions that had simmered in the past four years have exploded into a polarised electorate seeking to take Fort Simian in two seemingly different directions. The government has indicated a grand tourism...

The Wax Superior Herald July, Year 4 ELECTION SPECIAL: CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF Author: Moe Rackswell Fort Simian by night, July, Year 4. Four years ago Clare Bevan led the charge for the establishment of Fort Simian as the first city on the shores of Wax Superior and was duly elected as the founding mayor.

The Wax Superior Herald June, Year 4 FORT SIMIAN: THE FIRST TERM Author: Brent Seward As the first elections of Fort Simian near, the Herald takes a look at the founding years of the city. As the summer heat kicks in, throngs of people crowd Sizzle Beach to revel in the sun and surf on a dry 30 degree day. Groups of teenagers take photos of each other in strange poses, young adults float among the waves, and young children scoot about whilst their parents lay with their hats covering their heads for some...
