SW City's Official Newsletter - September, October 2003

EDITOR'S NOTE

There's lot's of fun builds this month to talk about. The first is a new development that Ferruccio has been working on called Castle Pines. The second is a huge project up in the northeastern part of SW City Territory, smack dab between Summerland Estates and the SW City mainland. This thing is pioneered by SW Comit and a bunch of other folks and makes use of the new rotation feature that's become available in Alphaworld this summer. It will take you at least a day to explore and they're still adding on to it. Read more about it below.

Cheers,
SW Chris, Editor-in-Chief

NORTH-EASTERN LANDS FORMED

Compliments of Nimbusian and Friends Terra-forming Service, SW City has some new islands to add to the roster. The dominating area would be Velothi Island, with its two bays Rotheran and Masobi Bay. The island is cut into 4 segments. North and south is divided by Highway 10, and east and west are divided by a narrow land mass with the two bays on each side. The east half belongs to Stone Ridge, built by Rae. Already built is Guan beach, built for the vacationers. Right to the west of it is Rotheran Bay Community, a long strip of mid sized houses. To the north across the highway is Velothi Forest, and to the far north is Mondary Village. Last but not least on Velothi, so far, is SW City's first school: Masobi Bay Elementary School.

To the north east of Velothi and also the most North and Eastern settlements in town is Tritip Peninsula, owned by Saddle Creek. It's manager, Onilink, is standing on the fence with a couple ideas on what to do with it. One being turning it into a mysterious forest village area, being so far from the rest of town.

Just off of Tritip is West Mills, a small get-away island owned by Nutinmuch.

To the south-east of Velothi is Ruby Lake where a mineral mine will be built, and the to-be-formed Vennis Island just west of it. Sumbitted by SW Comit.

FERRUCCIO FOUNDS CASTLE PINES

On August 22nd, Ferruccio decided to start his very own Suburb in SW City. The new suburb is located the city's second biggest island, Sybit, on the northern half. The starting plans for the new surburb will be an "upper class golf course residential neighborhood".

More uniquely is that suburb will raised on a hill, with small mounds and valleys, a steep grassy shoreline, and angeled lots, with a neighborhood gate.

A guess a name would be useful? It's called Castle Pines. Submitted by SWCity.Net News.

SW CHRIS'S SW PICK OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER

Hello, it's SW Chris here with your Pick of the Month. Syntax couldn't make it. The poor soul is cooped away in architecture studio for his first semester of college. So I'm here to substitute.

This month's pick is pure history. SW City's very first GZ and surrounding area is what I'm talking about. Explore the classic era of building architecture as you wonder around this marvelous wonderland of boonishness!

Click on the mailboxes at GZ and see if any of the old SW's still use the e-mail accounts they used when they used AW. Belly up to the bar in the SW Bar/Pub, the first build in SW City. Or if you're in an exploratory mood, you can fly off a few meters to the south, where there is a sky lane with directions to other interesting builds.
