I just built a summer house next to those mountains in the southeast. All I need now is to build some roads so I can get out there!

Back from vacation in Croatia and I can't access the myminicity.com sites... does this happen every day at this time of day? I just wanted to know how Free-DC and Kirchdorfk performed while I was away...

I have occasionally had brief delays on both sites, early morning and late evening. Other than that, it's OK.

now the site is accessible again...

some http://free-dc.myminicity.com/ind/ or http://free-dc.myminicity.com/env/ would be good...

Looks like we got another skyscraper!
UK-Boincteam town is in bad shape... no messages in the news blog... did they give up?
the-mk
Looks like they've got a bunch of people who keep mindlessly chiming in with new residents, but nobody looking for what's needed. It may self-destruct shortly.

someone needs to tell them!

I just had a look looks like it went BOOOM!!!! only 6 people there if it's the same town at all...
Semi-retired from Free-DC...
I have some time to help.....
I need a new laptop,but who needs a laptop when you have a phone...
Now to remember my old computer specs..
We are sliding back
A week ago we were at 41 Now we are at 48
PY are you taking a week Off
Come on guys/gals one or two clicks a day Please
whenever my computer gets a new ip address from my ISP I'm clicking on Free-DC (in the case I'm at home)!

I've got a list of minicities I go thru every day. Ours at the top, natch!

/me too.
do you have best practises, Paratima? Wrote a program? Or do you do that all manually?
the-mk
I made a bookmark file with my favorites, with each one ending in /xml. That way I find out what they need. When the xml listing pops up, I just replace the /xml with /env or /tra or whatever.
Not very automated of me, I know. Someone (Ironbits ) will likely chime in with a neat little script that he's worked out to do it all automatically. I have fun doing it manually.
When in doubt, I'll give 'em a /tra. Ain't no substitute for good roads!
HOME: A physical construct for keeping rain off your computers.
my "solution" seems to be more automated:
on a local webserver is a php script, which fetches the /xml from the currently requested city and calculates, what that city needs (+tra, +ind, ...) and creates a link for that, which I open in a new tab in Firefox to reply something in the newsbulletin...
the-mk
Cool!

I'm confused. Is there some other aspect to this 'game' other than growing the city?
Didn't you get the memo?
HOME: A physical construct for keeping rain off your computers.
I'm mostly trying to figure out how to actually 'play' the game. How do you know when you need more X? How does the city grow, etc?
I just do http://free-dc.myminicity.com/ to add people
Like in a real city the city services are always slow to follow
Why not simply visit http://free-dc.myminicity.com/xml to check and see what's needed, then go to the link for the most needed resource?
mail is on the way...
the-mk
I think it is a issue with Thunderbird, I've just attached the *.php to the mail. When I resent it to you I saw the mess that Thunderbird made with it You got new mail
the-mk
Has anyone figured out what the nextnuke>1
Is a terrorists attack due when we get to many people
Or a atomic power plant meltdown if environment dopes to low
I think many people have been clicking on the image/link on the old stats page which is very hand, but has only ever been set to +ind. This could have led to the imbalance that existed a few weeks ago.
Perhaps a little scripty could nab the xml and change the linky destination to whatever the city needs most? (kinda like the-mk's suggestion)
Just thinking aloud
