Joshua pops into staff

After months of hard work in his viceroy in the middle of the Irenic – which is, to quote Syntax, “like a mini SW City out there” – Joshua has joined the SW City Management team, bringing with him the Sequini Isles precinct.

I promoted him because I see a lot of promise in this little boonie – kinda reminds me of back when I was working hard on my own viceroy in the middle of that same ocean – and his months of hard work in building up the islands.  Sequini Isles is now the third precinct in Shores District, joining Hyper Anthony’s Southern Highlands and my own Eastern Shores.  He’s got a lot of talent and potential and I want you all to warmly welcome him.

There will be a Grand Opening precinct party soon, so stay tuned for those details. Congrats, Joshua! SEQUINI ISLES – aw 2421S 4654E

Owls Attack!

For the fifteenth day in a row, SW City is besieged by a pack of ravenous, bloodthirsty owls.  It is unknown what drove them into such a frenzy, but local philosopher Henry David Thoreau said upon seeing the sight:

“I rejoice that there are ow-OW OW OH GOD PLEASE LET IT STOPAHHHHHHRGHHHHH *gurgle*”

New Staff, New Precinct

Howdy everyone! ^_^

As my first act as Governor, I am accepting Hyper Anthony’s request that his land grant, Southern Highlands enter Shores District as SW City’s first new precinct in a long while. This makes him part of the Management team, and SW City staff.

Congratulations HA!

CY Awards 2006!

Well, the 2006 CY Awards have finally been held – a week later than expected – on the 1st of July (otherwise known as Maple Syrup and Mounties Day).

SW City and its assorted retinue of well-wishers and hangers-on managed to snag four of those coveted citrusy trophies, including a very special Lifetime Achievement Award (Best-Dressed Hotep), given to none other than our own Central District Governor SW Comit!

SW Chris snatched Best Building for his mind-blowing Back to the Future Recreation in East Ending, while Comit picked up Best Software for Alphaworld Enhanced, doing very well for someone attending a wedding (some complete twit accepted both of his awards for him – whoever gave that idiot a presenter job, anyway?)

And while Goober King vehemently denies being affiliated with SW City in any way, the fact that most of his regular guests just happen to SW’ian allows me to plant a green-and-blue-with-crosshairs flag on his Best Media Presentation award.

Other award recipients of special mention are the wacky crew of Off World who grabbed Best Town, Stacee getting Best Object Design (for her sterling work renovating Active Worlds’ biggest blocked drain- er, I mean AWGate ^_^;;) AND a third of the Best Leader statue (the head and right arm), Strike Rapier being awarded Best Bot Design for his weapons of mass surveillance, and of course who can forget Lensman, dreamer2 and tunablues’ Lifetime awards.

Looking forward to next year – hopefully it’ll get done without any false starts this time. *menaces Chrispeg*
