Nice pic!
Your nature is very wonderful!

[Sciurus]

Very nice

Thank you all! If all goes well, tonight will be a very special update!  School still stinks as usual, naturally even worse this year, but it's been survivable...  for now.

[sim-al2]

Sorry, but I couldn't get any pictures for this update. However, Banff has a back-story now. 

The Find

NCR Ministry of Resource Protection and Extraction: Thursday, March 24, 2027  8:42 A.M.

Ford: Jeffreys, where's that simulation result I told you to run overnight?

Jeffreys: It's right here sir.

Ford: Interesting, lots of coal in the Omega sector and....  that can't be right! The computer must have a glitch! Are you sure you ran the simulator with the right parameters?

Jeffreys: I'm certain sir. I triple-checked it last night before I left.

Ford: It says here there's over a million barrels in Segment 42-A. Is that possible?

Jeffreys: I'm not sure there could be that much oil in one place and it not be discovered. Maybe we should take this to Mr. Mullen's office.

Ford: That's what we should do then. And rerun that simulator!

Mr. Mullen's Office:

Mullen: You say a million barrels? That much is unlikely, but if the computer indicates such a high likely hood of large reserves, we should send a drilling crew.


3 Weeks Later:

Ford: Mr. Mullen, we got the report from the expeditionary crew!

Mullen: Well, tell me what the found.

Ford: They found an extremely large amount of oil!

Mullen: How much is extremely large?

Ford: We're not sure the exact reserves, but when they hit the first pocket, oil shot over the top of the derrick!


And so it begins...




Bonus Points to anyone who figures out what the acronym NCR means!

And so it begins...

Good tease, my friend.  You've set the bar up there a bit- I'm sure there'll be lots of folks checking in to see the pics once they come along.

Oh, "National Capital Region"?  "Natural Color Relief"?  There's lots more where those came from [linkie].

Watchin' for those pics.

NCR.... North City Railroad

would'nt live so close to the tracks, but nice shots !

Well, here's a hint. It's the name of a government. (not a real one of course)

[sim-al2]

No replies? Weird, but whatever. 



I promise that I will put up an update in this space tonight or tommorrow morning. Then, my attempts at real regions will be finalized. Let the drilling begin!

EDIT: Here's what I think the final region will look like. It's not quite done but it's almost there. The region is 5x7 large city tiles.



If you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions, just post it here.

New Canadian Region?

Your awfully close. In fact, your the first person in the right hemisphere.

Here's a few teasers of what I've been working on:

[Simpson]

[projectadam]

sim-al2,

I love how vibrant your pictures are especially the AFDES Summit Park and AFDES Plaza. They fill me with energy (I am also listening to an Electric/Dance.com radio station so the two factors are about to make me explode). Anyways, looking forward to how the new region develops.

I liked that airport!  Whatever happened to that rogue plane
