Watersford

[sebes]

After a 2 weeks break (for me) it's amazing to see how Waterford developped. The building of the port and the waterwave filling the harbour is just amazing - very well done Shaun! 

[Pat]

and now smack me around at the 9th reply and Shaun congrats to move out of best sellers when the month is over and settle into your new place at best sellers!!!!   

As Barby said I wonder if you will change any names now or wait a while till your all caught up to date?

Hey Diggis, glad to see this is still going over here, but aren't you a few updates behind? 

[Diggis]

With all the talk of an airport being needed Anne Kerry took the initiative to look for space, knowing full well that the council at Watersford Forks was never going to fit or allow one within the city limits.  Some hurriedly, and possibly questionable, land purchases took place and Kerryville was born.



To the East of Watersford Forks, Kerrsyville is a wide open plain, perfect for the flat ground needed for a Airport that is sure to grow.  Mayor Kerry laid out a small community for her construction teams.  Work soon began and a few months, and one heck of the large bill, later the crews were all assembled.

As you can see everyone is in high spirits, including the local kids who take delight in toilet papering the local trees on any occasion.  Fortunately the Vicki's have moved into the neighbourhood, to keep an eye on this new fangled airplate thingy, and have been mobilised into keeping these youngsters in order.



Work has begun on the new airport, again SFBT construction having finished the first phase at Port Terrington.  Having no idea about sized of airport they screened off as much area as their fencing could take and are working from one end out.



Here you can see the work going on for the infrastructure.  Looks like either some terminals or possibly warehouses.  Who knows?  Well... Hopefully Andreas and Mayor Kerry.



We'll be keeping a close eye on this as many of the local residents have been praying to Diggis about these "new fangled airplates" as the Vicki's called them.

Casper: I think a rail line will be on the way at some point.  Keep an eye out.

Matt: I dropped into downtown Watersford Forks last week and even I was surprised by the development going on.  Goobergen Construction was in full flight.

Rhythmandjays: You're right, it is sad, but thats the top retail area.

Paul: You're right, and I'm humbled by the volume of these replies.  I'll tell you how I did it over a beer (paid for by me, with the commision you have paid me  )  You would have been welcome to the 100th, maybe aim for the 200th instead. 

Catty: Always good to see a fellow Kiwi fly walk by.    Glad you liked the flooding.  Please come back soon.

Joan: As I mentined earlier Watersford Forks is changing fast already. And looks like Barby answered your question already. Thanks for the link.  London isn't much better.  And as you know, I'm a fan of green cities.

Barby: 1 and 100.  Nice work and founding member of the 100 club.  I couldn't imagine anyone more appropriate to have the honour.    Without your help I can't imagine how bad my cities would be.
Sebes: Welcome back.  Everyone seems to love that animation.  Wait till you see the next port one.  Oh, and been enjoying the Football. 

Pat: Ahh, so thats where I go.  I was wondering.  I haven't changed any names so far, but I'm not far off being caught up. (only 2 left up my sleeve, better start playing  )

DTP: Good to see you here mate.  I'm only 2 behind now.    Watch this space.

It looks like things in Kerrysville are off to a good start. I'm looking forward to seeing the airport developed and any of the eminent domain issues that may arise from the 'questionable' land purchases (yay law school... keeping me thinking about this stuff... I think I might have learned something... cool). At any rate, I'll keep an eye out for the next update. Take it easy.

Cant wait to see what your going to do with the airport. 

[CasperVg]

Looks great, nothing more to be said

[warconstruct]

splendid, the future construction of the airport is very quite carried out !

Hasten to see your next update soon !

[Jmouse]

Nice update, Shaun! I enjoy the little animations that really bring the city to life. I'm looking forward to seeing how the airport turns out - I've never gotten much beyond plopping the Maxis mess! So this is yet another element I need to learn more about, and you seem to be a pretty good teacher!

Later...
Joan

[paroch]

Another nice update here Shaun - you are using your OSITM time wisely.  The animations are very good.  Maybe you can explain how to do them on the second beer!

I look forward to seeing the airport grow.

[bat]

Really nice new update there, Diggis! Also a nice little animation!

[Alfred.Jones]

Loving that construction site

I like the animation as well. Very nice work as always

[Meastro444]

well then, i have to keep track of it here 

its a great CJ, told it already many times!

[penguin007]

Great pics there I love all your development stuff. Your animations also set your MD apart from everyone else as it really shows how you plan your cities.

Can't wait to see more

Will

[kimcar]

Hello mate. Still like your animation a lot. Can`t wait for see your airport    Keep it up mate

[rhythmandjays]

Your pictures and your animations gives your town a sense of warmth and personality. I like the realism in the construction of your airport. I can't wait to see what comes out of Kerrysville. 

[Diggis]

After a stuttering start, when the fickle residents of Watersford were reluctant to get in
behind their team, Coach Diggis managed to pull a few tricks out of his bag and the regions
have swung in behind the players. There was talk of divine intervention, but Coach Diggis
assures us he is no relation to the Great God himself. 

Some quick work by Chapman Entertainment saw Fan Zones go up around Watersford for
resident too cheap to get cable so they can watch.



Here in Camden they are reliving the last match against Majorca, which was their only loss. 
Hopefully the boys have learnt from past mistakes.



In Avalon they are still watching the win over the favoured Niewe Nederland team.  It was
bitter sweet for Coach Diggis having strong ties to Niewe Nederland, but if they didn't want
him coaching they can pay the consequences.



South Lester are also watching a composite of Goals from the team so far, quite a popular past
time.



In Watersford Forks it appears that Dave has changed the channel and found a slightly different
tournament, although I don't hear too many complaints.  Wait till Joan catches up with him.

Good luck to the boys for Thursday night.  There could be partying in the streets of Watersford
this week.


Matt: This is my first real attempt at an airport so we'll see how it goes.

Klaasconrelis: Neither can I.  I have no idea what I'm doing. 

Casper: Cheers. Nothing more to be said.

Warconstruct: Here you go, a small, not so interesting one for you.

Joan: No animations this time, just a quick Devo update.  I wouldn't follow my airports though. 

Paul: I'll write a tutorial one day, I promise.  And thanks for the Fan Zones.

Bat: Thanks, and here is another for you.

Alfred: You have no idea how long those construction sites can take, just to be bulldozed

Meastro: Good to see you here.  Just no more L33T Speak!  .

Will: Welcome back. Glad you're enjoying yourself.

Kim: I'll try finish the airport soon.  Nice addition to Funtasia too.

Rhythmandjays: Careful what you wish for.  I have a habit of doing the unexpected.

[Meastro444]

nice!

Shame we lost of the Russians, if it were not for Hiddink, we wouldve won! well, the 1337 speak was fun as long it lasted

[Simpson]

Very sweet place
