Oh eh, I find the layout a bit annoying actually, I have to plough to a series of menus before I can build anything, and I don't see what the icons mean as they are too small, i prefer the good old text options, much quicker imo

music isn't that great either

well i've had my first bankruptcy already, wohooo!!

Adagio · January 28, 2003, 08:04

Don't worry about what the icons show, just try to remember the colors of the icons

And congratulation on your first bankruptcy

(Tried it a few times already

)

Adagio · January 28, 2003, 08:10

The scores are as following:

Code:

San Fransisco 16
New York 9
Berlin 3
Maxisland 2
Acrotropolis 2
Blank water map 2
London 1

Unless something drasticly change, San Fransisco is the winner

Thx, it works... I only had some problems playing when on the last zoom, where cars are still visible. It was little laggy each few seconds...

It seems like a winner has been chosen: San Francisco

I'll upload a picture later today, so we can keep track, on who has which land...

Adagio · January 30, 2003, 10:55

I have now uploaded the picture (and chosen my spot), you can see the picture here (Same link as in my first post)

John-SJ · January 30, 2003, 11:49

ADG, I'll take just south of you, ah, South San Francisco, "The Industrial City", as it is known IRL.

John-SJ

...added...

vovan · January 30, 2003, 12:19

I'll take the area to the south of Oakland. San Leandro is it?

Anyways, that's across the bay from you, ADG, to the right, the area with the little lake in it.

Adagio · January 30, 2003, 12:27

...added...

Btw, I have no clue, what those places are called IRL, so that wont help much...

Thanks.

And I didn't think you would know what the places are called any way, that's why I described the location. I was just asking our silicon valley friend.

In fact even though I spent one year where the red dot is on the attached map, but I am still not sure what the places are called with the exception to San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland.

Jonny · January 31, 2003, 00:54

I'll take the spot to the west of ADG.

Adagio · January 31, 2003, 05:38

We need some players, to take the spots that goes from my place to Vovansim's place... anyone interested? (There's 3 spots)

General Ludd · January 31, 2003, 09:02

I'd like the region two spots NW of ADG

But that's a bit far away from everyone else... so if we have difficulty filling the spaces between people I'll settle for another spot, maybe the one north of ADG.

Adagio · January 31, 2003, 10:47

I'll wait posting a new picture of the region, until we are sure on where everybody lives... I believe it'll be a little bad, if there's so much space between the different players...

Btw, you're still allowed to change the terrain, as long as you don't change the edges...

Eli · January 31, 2003, 11:31

I want that shore spot to the North East of ADG(across the river)

vovan · January 31, 2003, 12:04

Well, if nobody fills up the space between me and the other side of the bay, I can take either the area which I marked with the red dot in my previous post, which borders with Eli, or the one to the north of ADG, which would border with Osweld, and Johnny.

Adagio · January 31, 2003, 13:13

Well, there seems to be only a few more players (who might want to join), to join the game... I'll update the map later tonight/tomorow

Adagio · February 1, 2003, 14:10

Unless someone joins within short time, Vovansim has to decide, which spot to take...

I didn't do the updating, since nobody else has joined, and I'm not sure about Vovansim...

Btw, one other thing to think about: What should the time turn be? 1 year? 2 years? more? less?

I'd say 2 years...

Jonny · February 1, 2003, 14:52

2 years for the turns would be good.

Sarxis · February 1, 2003, 18:29

WTH? What happened to my spot?

General Ludd · February 1, 2003, 20:00

I'd say 2-4 years would be good.

How will neighbour deals be handled, should we ask/request first, or should we just go ahead and make whatever deals we want, and if the person doesn't want them they can cancel them at the start of their turn?

Adagio · February 2, 2003, 06:36

I'm not sure about neigbor deals, but I believe the deals will be caceled when importing a city, but lets just say, to be sure, that you'll have to talk with your neigbor, or you have to cacel the deal, when the turn is over...

Did you expect to keep your spot, when changing the map?

Eli · February 2, 2003, 09:19

ADG : Can you post an updated map?

Adagio · February 2, 2003, 15:28

Ok, I'll do it now, though I don't change Vovansim yet, since I'm not sure where he wants to live

Adagio · February 2, 2003, 15:31

Hmmm... will take a little longer, I can't seem to write (or even copy) 'o' in PSP, so it's impossible to write Jonny/Osweld!?!

Adagio · February 2, 2003, 15:41

Updated...

vovan · February 2, 2003, 18:04

Well, since I found myself out in the boonies, I guess I will change my position, and be the connection between the western and the eastern parts of the Bay Area, and build the Bay Bridge.

See the attachment for my choice.

Also, somebody needs to take the lot just to my left, or Osweld will find himself all alone, and not connected to anybody. And, BTW, that lot contains the place for the RL Golden Gate bridge.
