SchulMedia: News Reel #2 (#1) (#3) (#4) These are the odd one or three pictures that aren't enough to make a full update with but I still want to show you. I'll sort of put them here and arrange in reverse chronological order. The most recent ones will be first and we'll work our way backwards. I'll put the date by each. There will be the occasional thing I have just a few pictures of but still want to use. For those, look here! After 20 stories, the next newsreel will be started. This is the second one....

Siege

By Schulmanator,

Siege (Parts 1-13; there will be a second part as this is getting really long to scroll through...) PLEASE NOTE: This is a ‘live’ event. The siege will be played out in real time (Schulmania Standard Time, with breaks of course for sleep, RLS and other stuff) and will be updated as events unfold. Check back frequently for progress on the battle (it may not be exactly in real time but it will be frequent). Additionally, your input will have an impact on the outcome of the battle. The outcome is not final...

Siege (Part 2)

By Schulmanator,

Siege (Parts 14 and above, since the first Siege entry was getting reeeeeeeeeeeeeealy long to scroll through. If you have not read the first 13 parts, go [here] to read them first!) [siege Part 14 begins here] Things don’t look good, superficially, as we see the city burning. But empty buildings are not degrading our war effort. But, they expend the enemy’s capacity to wage war and give us many strategic opportunities. The enemy burned the building housing the Quartermaster’s Office; the paychecks for the...

Hi everybody!! [insert "Hi Dr. Nick" here] Decided to amuse myself by posting a little soemthing I made for Monkey Island here. Hopefully, you will be amused by it as well. Since Part 1 seemed to be enjoyed by several, I will unleash Part 2 of this vintage view of good ol' Springfield for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Hey Hey! More Springfield! Mayor Teeny welcomes you to Springfield… Monkey Island has several outlying islands under its control. One of which is the island of Springfield. The largest city...

For Ava

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: For Ava Cat food magnate Oscar Myers donated a wagonload of gold schulmonetas to fund the creation of the capital’s largest public park. And being a modest fellow, asked that it be named after him. The park, located in the city’s third district, is a wonderful civic space. It is home to a variety of formal and informal spaces, sports and recreational sites and is one of the most popular gathering spots in the city. It is in the heart of the Holy Quarter and is bordered by such important...

East Tenne: Dude, Where’s My Cat? Mittens is lost in the national capital! Let’s see if we can find her. Let’s follow the trail and see if we can find her somewhere in District II. She lives here in a spacious flat on Kibbleston Lane. She left her home early in the morning and has not been seen since. She was last seen at the coffeeshop by the park. She got a tuna latte with salmon cream, as she usually does. But after that, we lost track of her! Mr. Fluffington says he saw her in the alley next to the...

Hall of Justice

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Hall Of Justice Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don’t require the Supreme Wirdle’s daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them are concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times...

Another Midvale School for the Gifted Alumnus Anyone remember this Far Side cartoon? I saw it in action. This is a true story I witnessed with my very own eyes. Here's the story: Here I was at a fine local venue, talking on my phone and walking by a pair of vending machines. The machines were the same, but one had a large and very conspicuous sign at eye level reading "Out Of Order". Now, anyone who knows me well knows I have been called many things, but especially observant is not one of them. Why, my...

Holy Quarter

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Holy Quarter The third arrondissement of the national capital, the Holy Quarter, occupies the northern end of an island just east of the Royal Quarter. This area has the highest concentration of churches in the nation, including the National Cathedral and St. Felix, St. Heathcliff, St. Garfield, and the Shrine of the Savory Salmon. The capital’s city hall is located in the Holy Quarter, facing the city’s largest park. The district is bisected by the largest urban park in the nation. There’s a...

Five Points

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Five Points It seems like every town has a place called ‘Five Points.’ And the national capital is no different. Here, Promenade South intersects with Seminary Avenue and Salmon Road West and Salmon Road East. Let’s check this area out and see how it compares to some of its pentagonal cousins elsewhere… Columbia, South Carolina’s 5 Points Atlanta, Georgia’s 5 Points Raleigh, North Carolina’s 5 Points Knoxville, Tennessee’s 5 Points Now, let’s see ours. Welcome to Five Points! Let’s take a look...

Hold the Line After the Battle of the Castello, the situation on the ground in the eastern theater was as shown on the map below. Queensferry has pressed all the way to the defensive line anchored by Chateau Briand. There is no fancy strategy for Queensferry at this point. With troops and an ever-growing supply of materiel on the ground, brute force would be used to punch through the line and capture the island. Thousands of troops have been deployed and they have the artillery needed to do the job. Here's...

This will keep you all happy while the big collabor-update is being finished. Enjoy! Hey Hey! It’s Springfield! Mayor Teeny welcomes you to Springfield… Monkey Island has several outlying islands under its control. One of which is the island of Springfield. The largest city on the island is a city of the same name. It’s a rather undistinguished town, in many...

Like a Phoenix

By Schulmanator,

Devonshire: Like a Phoenix Arising anew from the ashes of battle, the city of Schulmericho has been fully restored. The City Planning Office, local government agencies and military planners have developed a new plan for the city. The old, walled part of the city has been largely restored, save for a section which will be left as it was after the siege as part of the memorial. “Old Town”, as the original city is now colloquially called, now hosts a military installation for the Army’s VI Corps located near...

Sydney, SimCity4 & Schulmania A Schulmania Review of Sydney BATs One final addition to the Sydney entry - SC4 and BATs. There are plenty of Sydney-inspired custom creations on the STEX and LEX. In the two parts below (click on each pic to be taken to the full entry on the Schulmania website), In these two review, I show you the Sydney BAT (with links so you can get them) and the creator's pictures and descriptions (I did ask first to see if he minded and he was cool with it) as well as how the BAT has been...

Nyan Cat Vision

By Schulmanator,

East Tenne: Nyan Cat Vision The second arrondissement of the national capital, adjacent to the Royal Quarter, is the Feline Quarter. The Feline Quarter is the home of the magnificent Bureau of Feline Affairs palace, which serves as the administrative headquarters for BFA activities in Schulmania and its colonies. The district centers around this landmark and its extensive gardens, but contains far more than just a palace. The bustling and densely developed district will be explored in multiple updates, as...

West Wirdleonia: The Right Bank Needs No Bailout No financial difficulties in Schulmanukau. As a matter of fact, the city has recently been given the right to coin money. The bustling city in the southwestern frontier does a robust overland trade with Hestorbia and has initiated a steady stream of river traffic with Robinia and as far east as Tanagiers. The town straddles the river and is divided into two halves: the left bank, containing the government district, and the right bank, with the large church...

The Ultimate Challenge: International McDonald’s Invitational On my recent trip to Arizona, I saw something I had never seen before. I have been to 17 countries and never seen this variant before. I spoke with others who have been to other countries… over forty in all. And this is the only instance of such a thing we know of ever happening. So, I will show you (of course!) and then issue the ultimate Simtropolis challenge to you. From a distance, you notice nothing different… or do you? Typical suburban...

Where's Waldo?

By Schulmanator,

Middle Tenne: Where’s Waldo? Welcome back to Elza, Middle Tenne’s gated community. There are actually 3 gates defending the city: Elza Gate, Dossett Gate and Tacora Gate. Elza, the largest gate, presides over the port. The port serves both military and commercial vessels. Tacora, the smallest gate, presides over the small private vessel port on the northwest side of town. Today, there’s a big fuss in Elza. One of its most famous residents, Waldo Wilcox, the National Historian, has gotten lost somewhere in...
