Wot's the deal? - Challange 1

[Sheep49]

An early Saturday morning, BorderTown central planning centre, somewhere in That-country-where-they-are-said-to-drink-lots-of-tea.

- Sir, we have just got a new massage from Mr Bison, the governor!
- ... <confused>
- He's a guy who tells us what to build...
- Now you're talking! What did he write to us?
- Why won't sir look into it for yourself?
- Because I'm the boss and you're employee?
- Hm... Yeah, right... Well, basically we have to build a road and a railroad through the BorderTown region.
- How much time?
- Approx. 5 days.
- What?!
- Well, we're gonna build it in SimCity 4...
- What is 'SimCity 4'?
- ... <angry> Y'know what? I don't care! I'm giving myself sack!
- You can't do it!
- ORLY?
- Ya, RLY! You know why? Because I'm firing you!
- Great! Good bye!
- Bye, have a nice day Mrs. Treebaum, please get another robotic assistant out of the wardrobe.
- Yes, sir!

-3 min later-

- That's better! Now, what is 'SimCity 4'?
- A PC game where you build cities.
- Oh, great.
- Yeah...

-2 days later-

- ...Maybe we should do something? We're sitting like that for two days...
- Good id...
- Sir, we've finished!
- Great job, Admiral Pumpkin! You deserve a medal! Go buy yourself one in the vending machine around the corner!
- Yes, sir!

- Now, how does it look...



- Awesome!
- Yes indeed. And it seems like there's another one...
- Really? Jolly good!


That's tile E, kids!

- Even better! I like it!
- Shall we send it to Mr. Bison?
- Yeah... But don't use an ordinary mail!
- Why not?
- Remember what happened when we sent a letter to the president of USA wishing him happy birthday?
- Well, it was just 5 months late...
- Just?!
- Yeah, just.
- Hmm... Well, honestly you're right... It is 'just'. You can use whatever you like, just send it to him, ok?
- Right-o, sir!

Will Governor like pics? Will they be enough? Will I be late for school tomorrow? Answers of those questions will be found in the next episode! See you then!

First of all let us congratulate You. You have made it through the first Mayor's test.
On the picture below, circles with letters will indicate what was important
in your region for this challenge. If we say we don't like or we like, it doesn't mean that it's the same for others. We are judging to our lknowledge and what would be the most logical thing to do in our opinion, remember this.

A. and C.  Bridges cost much money and are a big load for budgets. You have built 3 bridges too many in these two points, although they looks nice but did you think as a real mayor, how much these would cost in construction and maintenance? That means higher taxes and less satisfied people and less people coming to your municipality because of high taxes. Bad idea.
B.  Not as bad as C but still, roads cost a lot more to build over mountains and also maintenance cost.
D. and E.  Good choices of bridges.

Although the layout was quite interesting and well done , we were not able to give you more points because of having built 9 bridges when you could have used only 4 at the most. Good work generally. Congratulations and good luck with challenge 2.

Nice picture and story.
