Need4Camaro replied to Need4Camaro's topic in SC4 City Journals
Edit: Cool, I see it now... I'll get you a price quote on each portion... I'm going to start biulding the portion from Exit 6 to 9... Also if Tuckaway Transportation is interested in the production of Highway Signs throughout the regions expressways, I will provide the graphics and extra points... -

CTF - Yes, and for the recap, how much was lilmanjs's and ObladiOblada paying you for water per month? Also for the pump in Linaton, I'll need to warn you about biulding pumps near farms... Farms tend to be heavy water polluters and they can clog your pump and well... you would have wasted points... If you want to continue then it woud be recommended that you purchase and destroy the farm first... that or find an empty area in this land or perhaps another Parcel.. 2nerdy4u - I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING! Thanks... Did you want to imput any points into it? -

lilmanjs - Very well, I biult your development, your quote and deed will be posted in this update... I am also curious, how much is the Tuckaway Transportation System willing to donate upon the upgrade of Highway 202. Houston_Fan - Very nice signs... I'll tell you what, if you make a standard route marker for Newarks roads. I'll biuld your tollway portion frm from Exit 6 to 9 in the next mini update, free of charge... Your screenshots however are coming right up... As for your inquire to remove some Exits... Exit 2 is Highway 2 and by default of being a spur from Highway 2, the exit must remain, Exit 3 can be removed, Exit 4 is Highway 6 and must remain for two reasons... 1 the road is overcrowded and in desperate need of an alternative route, and 2 it's a state route... Exit 5 and 7 can be removed... By the way, what standards will this tollroad be biult upon? Rural Highway? Ground/Elevated Highway? How many tiles for the median if Rural Highway? Would you like to add additional Highway Tower Lights to any of your interchanges? You are now apart of the Tuckaway Transportation System suplado! - Thanks for the compliment and suggestion, unfortunately I cannot add an air purifier as they don't exist in real life other than for indoor purposes... It would take away from the realism. The pollution issue will be addressed soon enough however. You have been added to the CJ Points System and will begin with 30 Points... ________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCEMENT: Alright, I am still in process of compiling the files necessary for the Blue Hope Website, I expect it to be fully functional by Mid October... Newark is sustaining heavy development around the region and I feel a website will GREATLY help us to beable to continue the project as of course, you all know the more requests I recieve, the longer it takes me to post... The website will constantly maintain up to date statistics of Newark, Including but not limited to regional Population, RCI including the desire for wealth values, Land Values, Aura and Parks, Fire coverage, Hospital Coverage, School Systems, Traffic, Police Coverage, Water, Power, and Garbage. The Website will include a Map of Newark that will be updated Monthly and also larger regional view of Newark to get closeups on the city and your personal developments. The website will also include a showcase section designed specially for our members creations in which everyone can view your creation, or development in Newark. I will also include an Regional Map listing the Parcels, and Grids, you will from there beable to select the grid from the website... Thus when this feature is complete and operational, unless there's a technical issue someone would like to discuss, I will NOT respond to requests regarding seeing a certain Parcel or Grid or area as it will ALL be on the website and I will keep it up to date as development continues... When you find an area you desire, you will copy the photo and design your area and post it back on the board... Meaning your DEVELOPMENT requests from here on will only be one post, your design plan, and I will complete it, post it here, and update the website. This will reduce the number of random requests I'll have to answer here. When this finally occurs, Everyone will begin recieving 3 Points per Post instead of 1 due to the reduced forum activity I expect to incur... I will of course still answer requests, post pictures, post storymode, and even showcases on the forum. It just helps organize things... ALOT... Oh and yes, the website WILL feature a cityscape view of the region. The first version will involve you saving a large image of the entire region to your computer and using your Windows software to "PREVIEW" the image and you will beable to see the region as a whole... There will be two versions available, One at the 3rd Zoom level, and one at the 5th Zoom level... If I ever learn Javascripting to load only the parts of at a time then I might make a browser version, but I've already compiled 6 Parcels and even M.S Paint is having a difficult time chucking the tremendous image... Preview still does it just fine and easy however... Now on to the Mini Update... _______________________________________ First thing, lets have a look at whats going on around Newark! Talliup Corner is flourishing due to the recent radical expansion of the Power Grid thanks once again to YoshiiIsland... Check out the new lofts biult at the end of the Talliup Way...

It appears now we also have an expansion of Residents southward of the prior alaignment of Tuckaway... And just west of Tuckaway exists a new industrial district in preparing of construction. Its alaignment with the freeway will serve its purpose very well... Congratulations lilmanjs... Here is your quote and deed...

North of Global Village on the opposite shore around Highway 2 and Highway 6, rumor is Lantia Parkway will eventually be extended this far... Closer to Lantia / Tuckaway... At, Lantia and Tuckaway... ...Tell me which photo you're interested in and I'll give you zoomed images for your biulding plans... _______________________________________ Next, Tuckaway Transportation wanted to see closer photo's of Highway 202... and Houston Fan wanted to see the area NorthEast of the 202 Terminus at Highway 2... Houston Fan's request... Click for larger image... The SouthWestern terminus of 202, at the East/West Connector and Highway 2... This will be Exit 2 for the 202 Bypass Tollway if it is constructed... Click for larger and more clear image. Proceeding North East into the Industrial District and Highway 6. The Highway 6 intersection with 202 is very crowded. Click for larger and more clear image.

As for the Industrial, once again I'll atleast need to know how many tiles you're willing to place... But I will get you some closer photo's of Hwy 202 in the next update...

e350tb - Okay, due to your development requests of demolishing all the commercial biuldings in the plaza, (I didn't know that at first) terms have changed dramatically... ...Look over your new quote and tell me if you want to confirm the construction... If you do then I will deduct points... and then proceed about biulding ObladiOblada - Thanks! KingTitan - Great to know that I'm sharing knowledge... Just for alittle lore, mind telling me what ideas I gave you? iamihop11 - Thanks for the list and keep me posted.. _________________________________ For this small update... FIRST...

CTF - Okay, here's what I did... You water company had 18 points in it, so I combined it with your points to deduct the cost of the pumps, Newark Water Company now has 0 Points, and you have 18.7 Points remaining... 2nerdy4u - They kind of don't have much choice but to use your bridge... But it is doing great so far. Your request is following... e350tb - Very well! You'll see your request in the next update! ___________________________________________ First I want to present CTF, the holder of the Newark Water Company, with his deed... Congratulations on your purchase and may it serve you well!... Second, to satisfy 2nerdy4u's request... Without Description for easy planning With Information _______________________________________________________ Now... lets have a look around Newark to see whats going on... Click for full size Click for full size... There's plenty of developments going on in the Newark, if you desire to see one, simply ask! The west is booming currently so lets have a look at it... Now, I'll begin with the addition of water pumps in the Lantia / Tuckaway area... ...Water pumps from the Newark Water Company, owned by CTF biult and located right off of Highway 2 near the coast line... These pumps provide water to... Tuckaway (but not Lantia) and... Global Village... With the recent addition of water, these cities have entered a more proper growth cycle as you're about to see... Tuckaway, with the addition of water and extreme convinience has developed high class businesses aswell as continues to attract a wealthy crowd.. ... The development still continues in Tuckaway, un hamphered... Global Village's development began aswell... the unique thing about this town is its hotel and an investor who has a vision for the island seeing as though a hotel of this calipre was biult on a empty island... But it didn't take long for the upperclass to find this entity, and when they did, old businesses began shutting down and they soon became converted into Higher Wealth complexes! And then not long after, the boom occured... Global Village continues to grow to this date, there are expansion projects in que from the developer who invested in this land so stay tuned! Lantia Park, despite the lack of water, continues to grow vigorously! Most of the vacant lots have been filled up. Many investors can't wait for Lantia to get water! -

ObladiOblada - 10 Points Donated and will be displayed this update... e350tb - Coming up this update.. jacqulina - Thanks, and yes development here is outstanding! They're definately keeping me busy! abcvs - I can't sell government biuldings, you CAN live nearby and work there however...I'll need you to be alittle more specific about which condo though, just mark it on the image... You've been added to the City Journal and will begin with 30 Points... CTF - I'll have a map for you to choose where you desire to place your pumps, this update... Just to let you know, global village absolutely MUST have water to develop or survive or the hotel will abandon... iamihop11 - Coming right up,also for schop institute's request... Would you like to just biuld a park there as a place holder? maybe have a small trail there? lilmanjs - The best place to start the transit system would most likely be downtown... Thats the area with the most traffic of course. But I have maps coming up for you to decide...And yes, you CAN have a personal house in Tuckaway, just choose one when they're all developed... you don't have to worry about paying for anything as it's already been payed for. MPTC - Very well, since Houston Fan wants to expand it as a tollroad to Highway 6, you can choose to partner with him, or choose to extend it westward and Houston Fan can make an alternative tollroad, northward to Highway 6... Yoshiisland - Yes, use of Bats are fine with me. ________________________________________________ Okay, before I continue with the update I wanted to appoligize for the extremely long delay... I've been working on my mother's website, you can see it here.. http://www.showcasedesignproperty.com ... I'm also working on a MAJOR project for the city journal... I'll give you a small hint, that it does involve the city journal gaining its own website... And I've been tied up with registering for college for the next semester but since thats all out the way... lets begin... ___________________________________ I had alot of requests for quotes and since this forum seems to have issues with tables... I am going to post both the score AND your quotes AFTER this update... First thing's first... I wanted to present Yoshiiisland his deed for the Newark Powerplant and wish him once again a job well done... Powerplant Current Usage 66% Style Coal Tiles 36 Megawatts 45,000 Expenses Monthly Cost 8,100 Income CJ Monthly Income 10,125 Minimum Monthly Income 30,375 Total Monthly Income 22,275 Congratulations Yoshiisland, your hard work will put you in the lead with flying colors... --- Second off I wanted to THANK iamihop11 for his generious help and he will be awarded an additional 50 Points for helping me with this CJ... I'll post everyones score AFTER the update... --- Alright, First lets grant CTF with a grid in which he can use to place his pumps to water those western developments! CTF, Choose a grid interlock and we'll get you some photo's of the area so you can place your pumps... _____________________________________________ Second, 2nerdy4u desired to see the area around linaton for exapansion purposes... Choose within the grid, let me know what area you're interested in, here's a few more photo's of the surrounding area... Just west of Linaton... Just south of Linaton on the other bank of the Oconee River in Millidgeville... ______________________________________ Most of this portion of the update is going to be dedicated to the Tuckaway Transportation Group so I'll begin by submitting some maps... An overview of Newarks road and rail system... the portions highlighted/surrounded by Yellow are the areas that require the most attention... This map covers the entire transportation system in Newark, both road and rails... You can use this map to see highways that are in yellow or red... Check this and if you're interested in an area, then mark the area you're interested in on the map and post it back here and I'll give you closer photo's... An area you might be interested in... This is Highway 35 of South Island ... as we can see it's only one lane each way out here however provides the only exit out of South Island (which is tolled) and suffers from congestion... Traffic Counts (the max for roads is 5,000 before congestion occurs) Things ease up on the approach of the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge... The Bridge can support FAR more traffic than the surface roads... Moving into Downtown from the Bridge... NorthBound Hwy 35 In Downtown Southbound Hwy 35 in Downtown... Downtown could use some mass transportation for these routes... While the avenue is far from overcrowded, it can be alittle messy during rushhour due to closer traffic lights in downtown. Highway 35 and the Exit 8 Interchange for the East/West connector... This junction is very busy. The road just west (we're looking northeast) that merges onto the offramp also has a high traffic count, between 4,000 - 5,000 cars... North of the East/West connector... This is a busy intersection between this road and highway 35... The MAJORITY of the traffic here commutes from South Island... The Highway 202 Corridoor is facing congestion, mostly from the Highway 6 intersection into the point where the cosigned highways meet Highway 35... 202 was originally biult as a bypass but for obviuous reasons is now obsolete... There is question as to whether 202 should be upgraded into an Avenue, or rebiult completely as a tollway bypass from the East/West Connector at Exit 6 into Hwy 2... I would eagerly allow a company here to biuld the tollroad / turnpke whatever you wish to call it... This is just a proposal, there are no plans set in stone... You can change, modify, inquiry, or simply draw a new route if you desire... These are the sectors along Hwy 2 and 202 facing the most traffic problems... Further South, Hwy 202 is preparing to face congestion so mass transportation out here would not harm anything. Hwy 202 in the industrial sector... Hwy 202 is more calm towards Hwy 2 however traffic spites do occur occasionally. Hwy 2 from Linaton into Downtown... The service road for the Seaport which eventually turns into Highway 4 after passing through Highway 35, east of here (we're looking NorthWest) _______________________________________________ Houston Fan desired to inquire about the extension of Lantia Parkway North into Hwy 6 as a tollway... Well Houston Fan, you CAN extend the highway North but you'll need to get permission from MPTC before it can be called Lantia Parkway, that or you will need to set up a plan with him in which you both can agree upon... You CAN create a seperate road that moves North as a tollway and have it intersect or terminate at Lantia Parkway... Or if you're interested, you can help me with the Highway 202 Tollway proposal. There's no other roads to intersect during its course... Lantia Pkwy Extension Total Tiles to Hwy 6 43 Road Cost Per Tile 0.2 Avenue/RHW Cost Per Tile 0.5 Cost for Exit Ramps 0.2 Cost for Tolls 5 Extension as Road 29.4 Extension as Expressway 41.5 Income Road 12.9 Expressway 64.5 CJ Monthly Income Road -16.5 Expressway 23 The Road will net you losses per month rather than income until the tolls start kicking in because of the high price for the toll booth and the low income that the road provides... The Highway on the otherhand will net you some income, and much more when the tolls start accumulating... __________________________________ -

Need4Camaro replied to Need4Camaro's topic in SC4 City Journals
lilmanjs - Very well, I just need CTF's final say so.. and where he wants the pumps to be biult. Yoshiisland - Okay, I'm going to have to charge for both the road and the transit however so that can be a bit pricey aswell... Currently however, there are no transit systems in Newark... No busses, no passenger trains... You CAN purchase railroads and biuld passenger stations along those sections... refer to the railroad map a few pages back for that. Just look at the regional views, copy the images and draw where you want the transit service to encompass and the rail lines (if you choose to biuld them, or if not, use an existing rail and mark from where to where) If you choose to use busses, again use the regional view to mark where you want the busstops... and then we'll get closer images... 2nerdy4u - The two UDI Cars in one scene was complicated... because it never really happened... I had to get the cars in almost the exact position and take the snapshots and merge the pictures into one image and make sure nothing was occupying the tiles that both of the cars were on, thus giving me an single image with two UDI cars and city traffic... -

lilmanjs - Thank you... e350tb - Yes. you will be added and begin with 30 Points! and you can start or join any company you desire.. ObladiOblada - Thanks, I havn't started the real development yet as it still needs water, I want to see what the NWC is going to do about it. KingTitan - Thank you! iamihop11 - I can tell... ________________________________ Okay a Mini-Update to satisfy a couple (but not all) requests and most importantly to make sure I have everything correct... First let me make sure I have things correct... CTF and lilmanjs have agreed upon a water system! CTF, Are you going to supply Lantia and Global Village with Water? Global Village needs water to develope properly... CTF I need to know where you desire to biuld your water stations and what kind of station you intend to biuld and how many... lilmanjs, are you going to be donating any points to CTF to help him create a water system? lilmanjs, Houston Fan, Yoshiisland, MPTC You desire to create the Tuckaway transportation system... Yoshiisland is cosigned into this deal correct? You would like to help Houston Fan extend Lantia Parkway to Highway 6 as a toll road? Have you two and MPTC come upon an agreement? Will Yoshiisland help? You want to start a subway system with Yoshiisland? I suggest you do not however... Subways are extremely expensive and at the current population, they won't see much use, your expenses will be far greater than your profit... You should wait until Newark grows. Maybe a GLR would be more feasble for now... I suggest you plan a railmap with Yoshiisland... MPTC and ObladaObladi Need you to decide if you're going use CTF's water system and come to an agreement with him so I can know if I can run water lines to your development... 2nerdy4u You want insurance... and of course, I havn't forgot about your request to see the area south of Lina Park.. ______________________________________________ Alright, just a small update... Iamihop11 desired to see properties of downtown... Iamihop11, Downtown Newark as small as it might be is still large enough to take infinite amounts of time for me to query every last biulding so I'm going to need you to take a look at these images, and mark which biuldings you're interested in! Have a look at these 8 images and tell me what areas you're interested in... Thats if for now simtropolitans!!! -

Speaking of, what was your oppinion of Lantia Parkway as it stands today? 2nerdy4u - Yup, thank heavens for that Island in the freeway! and I will insure your bridge... lilmanjs - Very well... You may both contribute toward the transportation system of Newark... Currently Highway 202 is overcrowded for nearly its entire route... Highway 2 is becoming crowded from Linaton to Downtown Newark... Highway 4 will probably be next and then Highway 35 in South Island will shortly follow... I'm surprised that noone was impressed by the car chase scene... ...oh well, I'll have to try harder next time... -
What did you use for your freeways? Rural Highways or Oneway Roads? Those look awsome! Very realistic interchanges and yes it looks EXACTLY like Atlanta... I live here and I can even see Peachtree Street, Spring Street, I-75/85, I-20... nice ... I might want to design my highways like that!

2nerdy4u - No it's not to late to purchase insurance...It costs 20 Points and reimbursts 3 times the original purchase cost... And they desire to destroy the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge for two reasons...#1 an example to scare off investors... #2 So they can have South Island for themselves.. Remember Soni's presumably dead as of now, only he managed to run them off the road during the car chase... CTF - Thanks! iamihop11 - Since the majority of Newarks government is controlled by the villainous dictators we just witnessed, the most they'll probably do is make it look like an accident or put the responsability for the devistation on Soni... The area may be for sell to investors who desire to revitalize the area though... -

________________________ Story Mode - Part 2 --Into the city streets of Eaton-- Soni: Ah yes... It's been a long day... I can't wait to get home... --The silence was broken by Soni's phone ringing...-- Soni: Hello? Cornell: Soni... It's me... Soni: Cornell! I haven't heard from you in awhile... Cornell: Have you been keeping a low profile? Soni: Yes... I have been for the most part... Cornell: Keep it that way, look; I've looked into your background and something as gone horibaly wrong... Soni: What do you mean? --Soni passed into Eaton's suburban areas...-- Cornell: I mean somehow, your background has a loophole, instead of showing your new identity, it's reverting back to your REAL identity, it's showing and basically telling everyone that you're a real American soldier! Soni, if they now know you're a soldier, you're definately going to have underground mobs after you!... Soni: Crap!... How did this happen!? Cornell: I don't know... Honestly if I didn't know any better... I would say you were set up for some reason, and not by anyone here.. but by the U.S., the country you were sworn to serve and protect! Soni: WHAT?! But why?! Cornell: I can't be certain but it doesn't add up that you have the only profile that would just magically reverse to your true identity... they're using you as bait for some reason... but I don't know why... Be extremely cautious Soni... they know where you live now... If I were you I'd go home, get everything you need, and find get a hotel until we can figure out what to do... --Soni was suddenly stopped by a late freight train traveling upn the rails of Benedicts portion of the South Shore Rail Line-- Soni: Huh, this is odd... Trains are never really here at this time of night... Cornell: Soni I really have to let you go now, talking to you is now an endangerment to myself and several other soldiers here... I bid you farewell and good luck soldier... Soni: Copy that... -- The train took 15 minutes to pass, Soni hung up the phone and proceeded home with anxious intentions-- --Soni continued into Millidgeville parallel with The South Shore Line... ... Meanwhile however...-- Navras: This is his home... He should be here by now... Conner... Get ready, he won't get a chance to react... Conner: --Chuckles-- No... that he won't... --Loading his Bazooka with missiles-- He and several residents will know the consequences of having a U.S. Soldiers in their presence... Navras: ... Terminate him... --Meanwhile, Soni heard the sound of cracking and explosions in the distance, in the horizon he could see the sky glowing with a bright orange hue just ahead of him... the ground trembled...-- Soni: What was THAT?!... --Soni got closer... to his subdivision, and bared witnessed to the horror that awaited him...-- --Flames were consuming nearly every home in the subdivision.... smoke rising into the sky and people screaming for help, help that wouldn't respond as there was no fire department this way and no police to stop the carnage that was ensuing... Soni pulled off of Highway 4 in total disbelief and even into the subdivision where he witnessed...-- --The devistation of his subdivision as people rushed and fled from their abodes...-- -- Many were even asleep during the attack and never had a opportunity to escape... Just ahead of him Soni even witnessed a man screaming for help, and before Soni could get any closer, the house swelled into a bubble and EXPLODED like an over inflated balloon!!-- Soni: No.....noooo... what happened?? --Soni proceeded down onto the streets he lived off of, to find more of the same... and eventually his house...-- Soni: All of these.. innocent people!! Was it because of me?! Soni: Was it ME that you wanted?!!! You JERKS!!! WAS IT ME!?!!?? --Soni was outraged and screamed into the lifeless night sky... filled with the death of innocent people...-- --His house was nothing more than a pile of rubble on the ground...-- --Homes everywhere lie devistated... and it occured to Soni that if that train had not been late... then he might have been home early enough to feel the suffering as well... -- Soni: THEN COME FACE ME!! AND FACE JUST ME!!! -- But nothing replied, just the dead and stillness of the night air in the desolate area of Soni's home...-- Soni: YOU HEAR ME!? FACE ME ALONE!!! --And even still, nothing but deadness awaited-- Soni: YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! --And the air was still filled with silence...-- --Until that is, Soni heard the motor of another vehicle easing up behind him-- --And then, Soni turned to see...-- Navras: So you want to face us ALONE eh? --Pulling out a machine rifle-- Soni: --In total shock, just leaps in his car and restarts the ignition, slamming it into gear and gunning the pedal!!!-- Navras: AFTER HIM CONNER --Conner slams on the gas and chases in hot pursuit as Navras loads his Machine Rifle-- I don't know how you survived the explosions kid! But rest assure you won't be living much longer!!! --They came speeding in a frenzy out of the subdivision, Tires Screeching as they peeled out making a right turn-- Soni: Crap!!! Cornell wasn't kidding at all!! -RAAAPTAPTAPTAAAAPTAAAAAP- --Bullets came SCREAMING from the machine riffle into the frame of Soni's car! Soni lied low and kepted it floored..-- --They came racing out, taking a red light on Highway 4 as a suggestion!!! "Should I stop?" Luckily the intersection was clear during this late hour in the middle of nowere... Soni had no idea as to where to go, but one thing was for certain, the bullets continued to search for him...-- --RAAAAP TAP TAP-CLANK-CRACK-SPLAT-- Navras: Give up kid you can't outrun us in that bulky piece of junk! --They raced down onto the rural road that served the homebound commuters... Soni desperately didn't want to hurt anyone but had no other choice but to keep his speed up... 70 - 80 MPH...cars flying by honking at the eratic drivers!! ...The bullets silenced for a moment, Navras was obviously reloading...-- Navras: Conner! Run him off the road!! Conner: Yes sir! --The bounty hunters merged into Oncoming traffic lanes and raced into Soni's driverside rear fender ... the force making Soni's rear wheels loose traction during the curve ahead... pushing him hard into the Grass sending Soni into a struggling frenzy!-- Soni: Crap!!! --Turns hard left, counter steering his momentum somehow regaining control of his overweight vehicle, tapping the gas in a frenzy and when the rubber re-met the road he slammed on the gas, the engine roaring into a loud whine as he jolts back onto the highway!-- Navras: Darnit, how'd he evade that?! Thats it... --Pulls himself out the passenger window, with his riffle and begins spraying Soni's roof with bullets!!-- Soni: !!!.. Darnit!! --This continued, oncoming cars honking angrily as they passed through the rural midnight country... Bullet holes penetrated through much of Soni's car and the Bounty Hunters hot on his tail!-- Soni: !! Yes the Freeway, Maybe I can outrun him there! --They cleanly blow another red light as they make hard right turns, squeeling through the intersection, Navras firing away at Soni through the entire course!-- Soni: Yes!! Here we are!! --Indeed, they crossed over the overpass that led them above The East/West Connector... -- --Soni pulled the E-Brake and released it, turning hard left sending him in a turning immediate frenzy into the Westbound entrance of The East/West Connector! The Bounty Hunters however weren't deceived so easily managed to turn as well.. They both slammed on the gas picking up speed, entering the freeway...-- Soni: Come on...COME ON!!! --They both met the surface of the freeway where many night commuters were returning from their shifts... Navras Navras: This is the end of the road for you kid! I can't fail!! --Whips out his Machine Rifle and continues firing away on Soni's vehicle... Soni swerving between the right and left lanes trying to avoid... 90 MPH... 100 MPH.. the center lane dividers were flying by now, they were at the mercy of god's speed...-- Navras: Conner, I need a good head shot, I want you to pull up beside him! Conner: Yes sir! -- And they did, and despite how much Soni tried to go faster, Navras was right.. Soni's car was simply too heavy to outrun Navras... ...Navras switched into the left lane slowly gaining on Soni... pulling his riffle out... first the rear bumper was visible, then the quarter panels... and evenually the rear windows... Soni was running out of time, he had to do something!! But what?!-- -- Then it clicked!! The second he came close, and side by side, Soni saw the opening of a Highway Island full of tree's... he wouldn't even have to hurt an innocent person... Soni slammed his car HARD left and into the bounty hunters vehicle sending them flying into the trees at 120 MPH!!! Dust and dirt kicked up and Soni regained enough control of his car to remain on the highway, however the bounty hunters weren't so lucky...-- -- And they too, were forced to face the same doom as the innocent residents they inflicted in search of Soni back in the millidgeville subdivision... smashing into a tree, bursting into flames, and becoming another statistic of the East/West Connector...-- To be continued... _____________________________________ -

Yoshiisland - Choice is yours! lilmanjs - I'd suggest biulding bus stations throughout the city first, starting from the city center... Many portions of Highway 202 are overcrowded... I'd also suggest using preexisting raillines, although you're going to have to get permission from Benedict and pay him a small price to use his portion of the South Shore Line... CTF - I'll provide the pipes at no charge as I also provide powerlines at no charge. You'll just be responsible for the actual pumps themselves. Houston_Fan - I'll calculate that for you... I highly doubt it will be expensive as roads only cost 0.2 Points per Tile while Avenues and Rural Highways cost 0.5 Points per Tile... For roads it takes 5 tiles make 1 point so that will get you pretty far, and or avenue's it will take 1 Avenue portion for one point... We'll see though... Just curious how does everyone like the new Lantia Parkway and the transition from the east/west connector? ____________________________________________________ Story Mode - Part 1 -- Early in the morning, a suspicious meeting was held to determine the fate of Newark, and our hero Soni...-- -- A group of executives sat around a large table in an off to discuss business...-- Mr Brown: Can I ask, why have we been called together at 4 in the morning? --A woman with long black hair perhaps to just below her lower ribs replied-- Woman: To discuss the matter of an American Soldier running amok Newark. He isn't supposed to be here... Mr.Brown: Yes, Soni Shuensha? You caught him too Jade? Jade: As a matter of fact, yes and he had to be escorted out... --A man, a very tall man with long grey hair had his chair turned from the group, looking outside into Newark's Downtown area-- Man: It seems as if we have a dellima *chuckling to himself* --Another Man - Dressed in Black and a Black trench coat replies...-- Man-2: Only that an American Soldier is running Amok, tell me why were we all ajourned for just one Soldier anyway? Commander Sean? --Sean rotates his chair slowly to reveal himself to the crowd... His eyes are grey however he doesn't appear old. He is about 6' tall and a medium muscular biuld... He prances his fingers together laughing to himself...--- Sean: Ah...yes... ..just one soldier... ...What could be the matter? We own most of Newark as it stands. The industry is wrapped up in our hands... ...What could one soldier possibaly do?...Hm?? Antione? Antione: Virtually nothing... as you made it explici - Sean: ENOUGH!!!! --Seans voice echo'd throughout the room, sending a shock of nothing less than terror through the hearts of those who heard it... everyone cringed-- Sean: Over the past few months our native lands have been selling themselves dry!! American companies have been moving in to take advantage of the riches that behold here left and right! New subdivisions and developments are practically WELCOMING outsiders!!! ...attracting them like little ROACHES waiting to be stomped upon!!! The deal with the mayor was explicit and clear! He was allowed to invite Americans into Newark for the sole purpose of working for OUR Industries! That isn't the case any longer! Many of our industries have sold out into American banks! Our profits are dwindling by the day! And now their soldiers are back in our land! You realize what this means? Take a hint, they even sold TWO of the downtown bridges and TOLLED them! Newark is going to SELL ITSELF into a state! Where there's one soldier, there's bound to be several more within these city limits! I want that soldier tracked and rotting by tomorrow morning! --Soon, sunrise approached-- Sean: Clan Falcon will settle for nothing less... ...Jade, what is the status of Project Zeta?!... Jade: --Silent for a moment, recovering her train of thought-- Oh..oh...sir... The detonation devices are on their way... They'll be ready to launch as soon as they arrive.. Mr.Brown: Detonation devices? Why're they going to be launched as soon as they arrived? I thought the construction project took time to plan before we just blew the turf away... Sean: There'll be absolutely no planning of that type necessary when it comes to destroying... The Union 93 Propaganda Bridge... Mr.Brown: What?! Sean: You heard me, we're going to blow it up... Mr.Brown: But...why!? Sean: --Raises his arm and shoots the cieling with his pistol three times... Everyone ducks-- To show the Americans just what happens when they take over our land... To show them what happens when you mock us by blatantly tolling our city...To show them the price they'll pay for buying ANY entice in Newark... This land is OURS and we're NOT giving it up... Consider the destruction of the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge.... as a warning.. --Sean stated in a grim voice-- Jade: Sir, what about the American Soldier... Should I send one of our members after him? Sean: No, I want this to be clean.. messy... but clean... get a hold of Navras the bounty hunter... He'll make quick work of him I'm certain. --Jade does just as she was commanded and soon, upon sunrise... Navras entered the room-- Navras: I've been called here, Judging by the crowd... I'm certain there was no mistake... Sean: ...No...there was no mistake at all... Navras... I am Commander Sean of the Clan Falcon. You do realize we are the largest organization in Newark and currently the top stock collector I am certain right? Navras: Aaahh Yes... It is a pleasure... Sean... What can I do for you? Sean: The pleasure is all mine... rest assure... Jade... --Jade opens up a brief case and pulls out an application... Soni's old employment application-- Jade: This application was written and forged by an American Soldier who attempted to forge his identity but failed... Look I need you to go to this address, hunt for, and kill this soldier... He lives in Eastern Millidgeville, near Highway 4... Sean: And you can name your prize... Navras: Very tempting... Okay, I'll do it... I desire a- Sean: Ta Ta Taaa... You name your prize, AFTER his head has been delivered... you have until this time tomorrow morning to get the job done... Don't fail me Navras... Navras: ...Failure... Pfftt... I'm incapable... _______________________________ --Meanwhile, at 9 A.M. Soni was heading to work... He had finally found a niche in Newark. Things at the seaport were going very smoothly and he was finally making enough money to avoid the struggle of life. For once, Soni was enjoying this city.-- --Proceeding west on Highway 4 in Eaton-- Soni: It's a nice day out.. Today is going to be great, I can feel it... Chris said we're going to have a special delivery... -- Soni stopped and paid the Toll to cross into Newark, there was no hassle this go round... in comparison to the money he was making $3 was petty cash... Soni had been thinking seriously about purchasing a new car but didn't want to become to obvious yet...-- --Crossing over the Eaton Bridge, there were so many things visable...to his left he could see the Oconee river rush into the mouth of the bay... and to his right he could see Downtown Newark aswell as several other bridges spawning into the infinity of the blue skies-- Soni: Simply pleasent... ... I wonder when Ol Cornell is going to give me an update on what happened with my background, or how they were able to track me... Not that it matters much, I've got what I wanted... --Soon the bridge let Soni off into Downtown Newark where he proceeded about crossing Highway 35... The terminus of Highway 4 and down into the roads that letway into the Seaport...-- --Soni proceeded onward pulling his parking pass out of his glove compartment...-- --Soon he crossed over the railroad tracks in which a train with an imported shipment proceeded northward, the fresh air met the soot of nearby factories and refineries... He was finally at the Seaport-- --Soni crosses the railroad tracks and presents his parking pass... gaining entrance to the port and parking nearby.. Soni leaves his parking pass on the rear view mirrow and walks into the checkin station-- Attendant: Mr.Shuensha? Soni: Affirmative... Attendant: Chris Vanderse would like you to work on Dock 1 today... Soni: Cool... -- Soni walked across the entire seaport... eventually finding Dock 1..-- Chris Vanderse: Your supervisor isn't here today so I'm going to be out with you guys!... It appears we have a very special shipment in today... It's loaded to the max. It had to be unloaded and shipped via freight train into the Mountains... Soni: Special delivery? Is it from Santa Clause? Chris: *Chuckling* Easy on the sarcasm boy.. No, it's from a private organization... They're shipping a core reactor for the new Power Plant for Newark... Our power problems will finally come to an end! It's schedule for depature this evening... Come we've got a long day ahead of us... Nate, Ready the crane!.. Nate: Crane is operational and ready... --Chris summoned a team of men and they headed for the dock.-- Nate: Sir She's docked and ready for boarding! Chris: Roger! Crew, prepare the crates... When Nate gets the crane over here, I'll need you to bind the cables! --Soni and the Crew did as commanded... There were several crates, They managed to secure them all however.. Soni managed to get a peak at the new generator for the FBC Sun and Coal Power Plant-- Soni: They're all secure sir! Chris: Nate they're ready, stand secure and prepare to lift! --Nate does as told ad lifts the crates from the ship, setting them down on the dock-- Chris: Excellent, NOW... we need to get them into a rail car to prepare for shipping... --A small engine was used to manuever the rail car into the loading bay... Nate positioned the crane to move each crate onto a pallet where they where pushed into the rail cars via a small motorized vehicle. The process took hours to complete...-- --Until sunset even... however it was completed as scheduled... and soon, as scheduled... the train arrived for pickup.-- Soni: Amazing, it wasn't fashionably late... Chris: Yes, we've made arrangements to get this load out of here as soon as possible... Newark SERIOUSLY needs this delivery on time... Go on and help on bay 2 for the remainder of your shift... and then of course you can go home... --Soni does as told as the evening grew later... Traffic was calmer now and he could enjoy the evening illumination of the Seaport... and to the Northeast, Downtown...-- --Soni looked southward and had a view of the lights flickering on one by one on the Union 93 Propaganda Bridge... and South Island began to emit its dull glow...-- Soni: Whats down there? Man: Huh? Soni: Across that Bridge that carries Highway 35... where does it go? Man: Thats South Island... It's a mostly residential community thats biult on an island south of here. It's mostly new, land values are sky high but it's far from complete, many residences are still in their first developmental stage. Eaton is still in far better condition, but that will change very quickly... Soni: Ahaa... ...Anyone important down there? Man: South Island is where most of the Stock Investors of Newark live and form... Many of Newarks hottest players live there... Soni: Players? Man: I'm talking the about the most powerfullest mobs that control Newark, they call them clans... Currently Clan Falcon is the largest and most powerfullest... It is leaded by Sean... Soni: Who is Sean? Man: I'll put it short... ...Sean is a very powerfull dictator... If you leave him alone or you're no threat to him, you have nothing to worry about... But if you're in his way... or pose threat to him... you'd better get the heck out of dodge, or feel the consequence of his unforgiving bitter wrath... He's noone to play with rest assure. Soni: I see... And your name? Man: Vector... Soni: Nice to meet you... Vector --Shakes Vector's hand-- Vector: I'm certain I can say the same... Mr.Shuensha... Soni: --Smirks-- Chris: Gentlemen, you have done a great job and your service was much appreciated... Thanks to you.. Newarks lights shall never dim again... And for you Soni that should mean you'll never have to save little girls from electrical fires again... --Chuckles-- Soni: Heh...Lets hope not --to himself: I know I didn't come to this island for a vacation but that was a bit extreme...-- Chris: I'm relieving you of duty now! You're clear to go home, I'll see you all in the morning! Good night! Soni: Good night Chris Vector: Good night! --And they all proceeded back to their cars...-- --Soni proceeded down the seaport road, crossing the railroad tracks that led into the industrial districts of Newark... Downtown in sight, Soni lied back and in his blissfull moment just relaxxed, enjoyed the cloudless sky which casted upon the lights of downtown Newark, and turned on the radio... Soni was 19... but even he at times enjoyed soft music... such as jazz, or soft trance... He turned on his radio and tuned into a station that was featuring trance... and proceeded...-- --To his right, he watched as the seaports lamps passed by, one by one and watched the colorfull lamps of distant ships entering and leaving the port into the abyss of darkness that represented the ocean...-- --Soon leaving the seaport district entering the commercial office district just west of Highway 35... Downtown's towers growing larger to his left...-- --And Soon he passed over the Oconee river, the beats of his radio pulsing softly as he crossed over the Eaton Bridge and Downtown's skyscrapers easing away in his mirrors while Eaton positioned closer into view-- --And upon docking into Eaton, payed another $3 Toll, the music sudated him too much to really care... he continues to proceed Eastward--
