I usually crack out the laptop each night just after 9pm and get the evil eye about 11pm...... I am sure I'd site there all night if I was left to my own devices

Yup, I spent waaaay to much time on it last weekend. I've had to assure the lovely lady that I'll stop by 10:30 each night :D

I keep finding myself saying "just one more day (a sim city day)" then I'll turn it off... Time very quickly disappears.

Haha! It might look nice but it's F!@#ed for traffic at the moment :D

I think we're missing Tourism and Finance, just off the top of my head.

Any way to stop the rollback of doom? Just played for 2 hours and it all got rolled back. Maybe I should manually restart the game every 30 mins.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

Traffic/health/crime etc all hugely out of scale to the population so it gets a bit silly sometimes. I guess they did that so that you still have to give attention to those issues even with the small city size.

Just joined the Arse 2.0 region on the Isle of Shonk plot. I must say the game is a little more difficult when starting a new plot with other established cities in the region, their influence over your own city is huge.

You can add me to your friends list (shonky2400) if you like but given how woeful the text chat is in the game I wonder if there is much point. :(

For those with out of control crime levels (myself now as well since they are coming from the region to my city), check how many unemployed people you have, I thought it was just education that affected crime levels but I found on my previous map that if you let unemployed figures get out of hand your crime will go up in a large way.

Can I get an invite to the region? I've looked for it using the shittest server browser ever written but couldn't find it. My player name is Marshious.

Didn't ARSE get censored? I called my private region city Shitzu Tonka and it became ****** Tonka. lol

Thanks Shonky.

Is there anything the region needs? I just built a Uni so I can add a school. Righty has Science and Quidgy has Engineering.
