The SW City Government Auditing Board has finished it’s per-decade audit on the city spending budgets, and has revealed some rather alarming trends. Records indicate tens of billions of Flint being spent to implement multiple forms of mass transit infrastructure that is ten fold more than called for with the current population base.
“This monorail line loops all the around the Faldon Desert. Why would anybody go out that way? Ticket sales indicate it is it never even used, which, led to the much alarming fact that there aren’t even any trains for the entire monorail network!” states Jerald D. of the accounting firm.
The report goes on to point out eminent domain payouts to citizens to demolish their buildings in order to replace it with rocks and landscaping. In some instances, entire neighborhoods were plowed over with man-made mountains.
“I used to visit my grandpa in the neighborhood just north of Town Square. But now there’s a bunch of steppes there. It’s like it happened overnight! I don’t even know where my grandpa is! Does he just live underground now?” asks just one of many upset and confused citizens.
In recent years, the report dug up that many of the government workers have not even showed up to work for years at a time, the greatest offender being a Mr. Flint Prestonous whom, due to his seniority perks within the government, alarmingly has the greatest salary.
“He always goes on about needing to ‘feed his birde wife and birde kids’, but I’m pretty sure he has neither, and could probably buy my house out from under me if he felt like it!” says a riled Nimbusian who, up until recently, was a regular tipper of the city greeter.

SW City’s economic deficit has hit record highs as the city’s productivity levels plummets combined with all of the government taking long term luxurious vacations. The economic slowdown has surpassed the great recession of 2003 in which real estate prices collapsed due to a massive nougat hive being uncovered underneath the city.
One Nimbusian citizen exclaims: “I’m still recovering from the 2003 crash, we don’t need this right now! When I drive down main street, all I see are Grey hobos and nougat filth! Where is everyone? Get back to work!”
Analysts predict the city will need to begin borrowing from IIC faction cities such as Zelena to bring it out of this debt.

Some new textures and masks have been submitted to AWI intended for use by the new cloth objects. Similar to particle emitters, cloth objects needed some suitable art to go with it.
Masks: These are masks only and may be used with existing textures within AW. To use on a cloth, for example, you’d write: flat23:cloth1m
cloth1m
cloth2m
cloth3m
cloth4m
PNGs: These are the same as the above but are simple white textures with the mask built in. They are white because you can use the color feature to change its color. Be sure to include the .png extension in the texture field.
