You might want to set up a rotating link on the home page. That way industry, traffic and people get improved equally.

Nah, it happens sometimes.

Also, I never thought applegeeks would make a minicity, srsly unexpected C;

Hmm… I see the joystick icon but where’s the big red self-destruct button icon? :)

On a rather absurd note, I built a city in the desert in Caesar III that failed because it got too large before the enemy arrived to burn it to the ground. I went back to an earlier saved file, burnt down two-thirds of the city with my own army, and was able to defeat the enemy. I was never able to determine if that was a feature or a bug. It was definitely a Nero-inspired moment.

Leveraging popularity to improve that? Smart!

You should change links. You need more population and a little security. I started one a little while ago. Someone was spamming their mini city in 4chan a few weeks ago. I abandon it after I realized most people don’t fall for these anymore unless its something like a group thing.

I should probably also note every one and their dog seems to have one of these right now. I -just- looked and saw 3 people with one in their sig somewhere completely unrlated right after posting this. o.o; Talk about a fast growing fad. I’m sure AG will hit number one in no time.

For some reason it won’t let me post in the News Bulletin section. It thinks I’m trying to post a blank page even though I’ve put in a name, security code and text.

Now it really needs security, it’s now at 30%

Current ranking: 706.
Help plz?
I’m trying to at least break the top 100. I’ve become somewhat addicted to this…
It’s a problem arising, I just know it.

Fifty years from now, textbooks will talk about this! I just know it, the year when no one left their house…

Stupid Wii-net and it’s outdated flash with the inability to see anything flash or chat-room related.

I am sure it is an awesome city, I just wish I could see it on my Wii because I don’t have any webcomic links on my computers and I am too lazy to do a search. >

Hawk,

I think you should edit the link so it’s not the the transportation action (e.g., /tra). We’ve got more roads than citizens.

“Wii are the ones who willed the coloization and oppression of various foreign countries”…

…that’s a game that would do well in America.
