Wacky32: It happens to me from time to time. Once I hosted a record breaking attempt at Simtropolis. We waited three months, and then I wasn't even able to attend my own event. Luckily, we were not even anywhere near breaking the record. I think we were at about 6% of our goal.

Remember the size limit on your images, though. One trick that makes things easier for me is to upload to photobucket.com They automatically resize any images that are too large to 800x600. (They do keep the aspect ratio, though, so, for example, a 1600x900 image would actually get resized to 800x450. It's a good thing that they keep the aspect ratio, however. )

With photobucket, I don't ever have to worry about my images being too large. It's a neat trick.

Pool D.... Hm. That could get difficult....

Tuesday - November 30, 2010 - Aoyama Standard Time

Hiiragi International Airport

12:00 Noon AST: By now, flights from Linktoria, Dragon Cities, New Chandler, and many more are awaiting arrival from North America, Asia, and Europe just to participate in the games. Chartered buses await the teams amid possible crowds and media attention.

As a security precaution, some inbound and outbound flights were cancelled. Civilians and media crew were pushed out of Hiiragi Airport to provide a secure escort. With the terror level at red, some have thought the Prime Minister was crazy to hold such a game.

5:00 PM: N24 reports on the euphoria Aoyamans are feeling across the nation. It has been nearly 8 years since Aoyama has competed in international games.

9:59:30 PM: Just a minute before the strike of 10, the ten-second countdown beams across the Nozomi Tower. This is one of the few games in Aoyama to have used the famed countdown in its history. The last event occurred nearly 20 years ago. On all events, fireworks have said to have bloomed from nearly every stadium across the nation.

This is now the new stadium for the finals!

Absolutely Amazing!

10:08 PM: Whenever a huge event like this ever falls upon Aoyama, you'd bet politicians would take whatever chance possible to get some spotlight. Here's Ministry of Foreign Affairs William Strait and his little speech in Parliament.

10:30 PM - Late in the night...: Dozens of unofficial celebration parties spark off across the country. Some of the larger ones even get free coverage by the media! So now, thousands from all over the world party off into the night, awaiting for a day of athletic fame and pride tomorrow.

I think that wasn't the day of the Roanoke squad.

The game NC/Starfish would have been interrestng to watch.

I still want to know why wacky gave ----i i i mean Waterbridge did so badly.

On a small note, there's like 15 cities competing? Where on earth is everyone?

Got that right

p_kitaro: The Simmania community has maybe 20 active members or so. (collectively, everyone here has posted over 5,600 messages, so it isn't an inactive community by any means).

Most of the active members here appear to be participating already.
