Rubicon River started

As part of the Planetary River Network (I think that’s what it was called, lol), Rubicon River, the second river of this project with Vishara’s River being first, has begun to make its way throughout AW. It’s primary route will be east and probably stopping around 8000e, and might make its way down to Horizon City.

There are no plans to end this river into a water body, like Vishara’s did, and will be added to as time goes on.

UPDATE: The river is being renamed. Click here to vote for the new name: Vote

Tripod hits SW City

Chris recently discovered that tripod, host of some of SW City’s pictures and sounds, deleted 8 megs of information in the web space. This is because we were 8 megs over the limit, because it use to be 50 megs, but they lowered it to 20 megs when we were at 28 megs. The account was the sw_city.tripod.com/… one. So if you find any broken pictures or sounds, let us know so we can replace them.

SW City joins Folding@Home

Folding@Home is a science project started by Stanford University some time ago. It’s been madly popular over the net and I was wondering what all the fuss was about. So what is folding? Bah, just go here: http://folding.stanford.edu =P

Construction Updates

– Avatar Subway station nearly complete.
– Town Square has gotten some much needed attention. Lots of small buildings have sprouted up or been revamped. Been a lot of landscaping too (>_< @ the bill from the nursery).
– CSWC Monorail loop completed! Two stations await construction though.
– Nut Highway is creeping it’s way through town. It’s made it’s way through Silver Valley and James River and is now working with the Central SW City board to work it’s way towards Syntax Estates.
