Love the Fan Zones, Shaun, especially the first two! You and Paul did a great job on them. Guess they'll be empty come Monday morning, though, unless some of the die hards want to stick around and watch old John Wayne movies. &mmm

Looking forward to seeing Watersford grow...

Great work on the update Shaun.  You did a great job on the screen images there.  I have to say the fans zones sit very nicely in each of the locations.  I guess plenty of beer is served from those kiosks.

And I knew co-hosting Devo 08 with Balnavia was asking for trouble!  I must review that broadcasting contract we signed!

Good luck for the semi final against Jeronij's Mallorca this evening.

Looks really good, I wonder what the snack bar in the last picture would serve, with the Coca Cola HQ that close-by. And, if I'm not mistaken, the four identical stores at the bottom are porn stores by SG  ::)

As the citizens of Watersford move away from the central areas thought is turned to protection.
It is decided to develop a standing army for the region.  Retired Military Commander Riptide
volunteered to take on the task of training the forces.  He quickly chose a remote section of
the region to train up his forces.



Notvorigud is reportedly modelled on the Russian KGB training ground of Novogorad, although
Commander Riptides plans were value engineered somewhat.  While it's exact location is a
closely guarded secret we have heard from Bat, who heard it from Pat, who has a friend
whose brothers girlfriend's sister's boyfriend's uncle's brother's daughter's boyfriend's
brother is a new recruit.

This photo was released by the media officer showing the construction crew, and first
set of equipment rolling out to the site. 



No further images have been forthcoming but we have managed to get some night shots
when the guards weren't looking.  We were able to get into the hills above to get the
photos.  This appears to the entrance a guarded compound.  We are unsure of its
purpose but the rumour is that it's a black ops training.



Further into the compound we found a couple of built up areas.  This appears to be a
village of some sort, although we are unsure if there is anyone living there.



And finally what appears to be a couple of farms.



It's early days here yet so we will be keeping an eye on proceedings.  Something
tells us that it's for training purposes and we could see some action here soon.

Meastro: Yes, it was a shame, but seeing as the Russians were representing Watersford it was bitter sweet for me.  &mmm

Simpson: Thanks, drop by again some time.

Bat: Paul did all the hard work. I just stuck some photos onto the screens for him.  Look for them soon at a LEX near you. ;)

Joan: I'm sure the residents will find something to watch on there.  Dave seems to already have found a new channel.  Plus there is the Tri Nations Rugby, Premiership League, Rugby League World Cup.  We'll always find sport to watch.

Sebes: Yes, unfortunatly Coach Diggis wore a T-shirt to the Semis.

Paul: Yes, you really missed the boat showing male sport.  Notice Dave's screen drew the biggest crowd. :D
Casper: Sorry, which 4 identical stores do you mean?  There are a few of the more undesierable (depending on your point of view of course ()flamdev() ) elements in Watersford Forks.

Great update there Shaun.

I love the diversity of the MD section and I think in Watersford you deliver up our weekly dose of gags, one liners and irreverant comments to keep us all going.

And of course your skills in putting together good pictures shure helps  :D

The night vision shots are very good and just complete the whole mood of the update.

I just wonder what will happen next!  You'll run out of original ideas sooner or later ;)

Great  :thumbsup: night shots, it really gives it a very clandestine  $%#Ninj2 look to the pictures, I can almost hear the reporter whispering to the camera as they take the pictures.  :)
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" DEATH thought about it. "CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE.

I love the night vision thing for the pics. It really does add a realistic and artistic touch to the update. The name for the base is well... (I wouldn't call it 'great' heh heh) but I like it. What appears to be a farm is sending/receiving a rather large quantity of trucks.  The Devo update looked good too. Watersford has a nice selection of channels. Good work as always.

Well, need I say you've scored another great update! :thumbsup: Those night-vision shots are very clever, but that shouldn't surprise me. Love the quad in the first photo BTW - an interesting mixture of elevations. It will be interesting to see how you develop it.

Later...
Joan

That's a nice new update there, Diggis! Great work on the pictures! The "quad" overview is looking good, too!
Looking forward to more... ;)

I know how Diggis flooded his port! Of course, I'm not going to tell you. ()stsfd() You'll just have to guess.

P.S. If you already know, please don't spoil it for other people. ()sad()

P.S.S. This is a great MD too! :thumbsup:

Time to pop back in on the Goddess up in Camden and see how she is getting on with keeping
out the rabble from Watersford Forks.

As you can see the town has been allowed to grow a little.  The population has nearly doubled
and some of the gravel streets have been upgraded to a nicer asphalt by Plumbley Construction.



Taking a closer look we can see that a shuttle service has been formed around the northern
half of the town.  The goddess wasn't too impressed, having walked to school everyday in
bare feet, through 2 inches of snow and uphill both ways.  :D However the youngsters
of today have been very impressed with the service which gets them round the block with
half the effort of walking in a quarter of the time.



To the south expansion has been a little more chaotic.  A new water tower was required to
supply the growing village.  In the new industrial park a Vet Clinic has been set up to tend to
all the cats being hit by the increased traffic.



So it looks like Camden has been weathering the storm and holding off the city slickers. 
However to the west it's another story.  :o The farmers from Watersford Forks have
expanded their foot hold and formed a small village to the north for their workers.



Being sited on the main route to Camden the petrol giants were quick to move in and secure
prime property with the help of DW developments.   Fortunately a smart-cars dealership has
cropped up over the road to help protect this pristine area.



Luckily not all new residents of Camden Cross have little regard for Nature.  The Aussie
entrepreneur Dave Tooheys was responsible for getting an area along side the Camden Stream
protected.  Being an Nutty Australian Dave naturally built a cricket ground in the reserve to
continue his family's proud cricketing history.  He named it the Collins Commemorative Ground
in honour of the Prophet Collins who first spread the word of the Great God Diggis.   "$Deal"$



Hopefully the two villages can work together to protect this pristine landscape from the ravages
of civilisation.

Paul: Weekly?  You are setting the bar a little high for me. ()what() I'm hoping I won't run out of ideas this week.

Kim: Glad you like them.  It took me a while to get those shots.  Dodging bullets is no fun I tell you. :'(

DTP: Suspense?  Hmm, guess I'm doing something right.  And yeah, added it last week.

Warrior: Hehe, snuck up on you there?  Guess my marketing is working. :D  Welcome to Watersford, I'll find somewhere for you to stay soon.  :thumbsup:

Catty: Whispering?  I was swearing my head off.  Stupid jamming camera.  $%Grinno$%

Maestro: Thanks

Matt: Thanks, and if you've read the Bourne Ultimatim you'll see where the name came from.  And I hadn't noticed all the trucks... Very suspicious.  &sly

Joan: You are late!  This is actually my Beta testing region, so lots of crazy stuff could happen.  Keep an eye out for future works appearing here. ;)

Bat: Thanks.  I have only shown the undeveloped tiles so far.  Guess I should show a few wider shots soon.

Sebes: Hehe, welcome back, you have been missed.  ()sad() Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Robin: Glad you like them.  Took some work to get right.  :'(

South Park: Thanks, come back soon.

Sim-Al2: You do, do you?  ??? I would love to hear your theory.  Feel free to PM me and I'll tell you if you are right.  ()stsfd() And glad you like my work.
