August 28th — Mystery of the
Disappearing News Page
Okay, I'll admit it,
I guess I forgot to I actually hadn't uploaded the news page, after answering my last post
(of the day <G>) Silly me...
At least I can make this a shortish news flash now, as yesterdays news isn't quite stale
yet.
In the Test
forum Crassus Pauper is showing us some nifty ways of (ab)using HTML. In both the Scenario
and Review
forums Cherub ET is wondering about challenges and reality in the scenarios.
Angel
Monty's Monkey has uploaded four new scenarios that can be found here.
Only four, I can hear some of you grumble. Well, he would love to upload many, many more
scenarios, but it seems people are not sending them in anymore. So, if you've designed a
nice scenario and want us to enjoy it too, why not send it to Angel Monty's Monkey.
Several new people have found their way to the Game
Help forum. If you want to share your Caesar III expertise, please give them a helping
hand. Claudia Gallica is asking questions about a topic I haven't seen before: In-efficient
Housing blocks.
I was working my way through
my angel-mail, no, it's not raining, and forgot the time. So now someone is wanting me to
call it a night and get myself to bed.
Let's give you a quick forum update before I doze off.
On the Test
forum several people are enjoying themselves with images and colours, so if you want
to brighten up your posts just mosey on down there.
The Technical
forum is suffering from a Mac attack. The question is, can ET handle it?
This is hard to get into
again, still thinking about what to put up here...anyroad, let's go to the forums. Want to
come along?
First of all there's a
liquid discussion going on the the Community forum, that goes by the misguiding title,
Who's Jack Daniels? (Not talking whisky). Never mind the first couple of posts, but go
right here
for the drinks bit.
Oh well, let's get back to the title of
this news flash, so who's the birthday boy (or is it a girl?)
No, it's a hamster!
Our very own Angel Reckless Rodent is celebrating his twentieth birthday. So, no longer a
teen he's getting ready for the Roaring Twenties.
Want to wish him a happy birthday and tell us who you remember him? Just click here...
Read it and weep, or
rejoice, but the ' Hawk has finally found his way back to the Caesar III Heaven newspage.
To cut a long story short, moving had it's problems and so did a new PC with ISDN
connection. Now I can gladly say, this box here zooooooooms!
So what's going on here?
Let's check my mail...324 new messages, 200+ of which has directly to do with Heaven. Let'
s wait a while to read up, maybe something for a rainy evening <G>
Keeping up with Reckless, I first want to
bring a little bit of Pharaoh Heaven news to
your attention. A host of angels, lead by Angel Draco, created Life on the Nile. It's a
trivia script, like the city building facts on this main page, but there are a lot more
facts to be found than can be found here. Mine just told me
Horus, the falcon-headed son of Osiris
and Isis, is the hero of a legend related to the Osiris myth. The focus of this legend is
on a battle between Horus and his uncle Seth for the throne of Egypt. This battle was very
intense because Horus also wanted to avenge his father's murder. Horus eventually defeated
Seth and became the ruler of Egypt (the kings of Egypt were considered to be Horus on
earth). During the course of the battle, however, Seth tore out and broke Horus' eye by
smashing it on the ground. Another god, Thoth, picked up the eye and restored it. This eye
became a very powerful amulet known as the wedjet-eye and is frequently seen in tombs and
in jewelry.
My advice, click the above link to go to
the main page, and keep on clicking, 'til you've seen them all. Of course you have to redo
this every couple of weeks, 'cause we just might update our collection of Egyptian facts.
Apart from that there's quite a few
people telling us on the forum they have to go back to school. Well, I can only wish you
good luck <G>
There's a thread
in the forum in which I ask a question which I would appreciate everyone answering (I know
that's a bit hopeful, but it's worth a try;)). Here's my post:
Hi everybody.
I was wondering
how you think this site should progress. With the release of Pharaoh approaching at an
ever increasing rate, it's clear that attendance here will reduce pretty soon.
It might be
increasingly difficult to keep updating the site as regularly as we are at the moment.
After all, I'm away in Germany from the last day of September, and I don't know if I'll be
able to use the phone sockets there with my modem. Angel Jayhawk is heading to the US,
once again uncertain of an Internet connection. This leaves AAI in charge of updating 3
sites every day. He's busier than I was when I had to do the same thing, so 1 site might
have to be allowed to lag behind.
From a personal
point of view, I wouldn't like this site just to be deleted because the sequel has come
out - it can continue to be a resource for future C3ers. So, what would you expect from
this place post-Pharaoh?
I seem to be
having a thing about having the word "front" in the title of my news updates at
the moment for some reason. Still, here we are with the weekend update. Oh, by
the way, the reason for there only being 1 update this weekend is twofold. On one
hand, I've been looking around for a new computer (which I bought this morning :-) ), and
there have also been some problems - check Pharaoh
Heaven for an explanation.
Ok,
so what's going on in the C3 community at the moment. I'll be honest, things are
very, very quiet. Whether this is because of the summer holidays (northern
hemisphere) or because people are keeping their posting powder dry until the release of
Pharaoh, who knows. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks, when Pharaoh hits the
shelves.
