Well its here, let me share with you an experience that will live on in the depest recess of my soul for as long as I live!

First off I would like to thank Bazitch and his crew for trusting me with their City Hall, and I will explain. A few days ago I spend a few hours on Naboo (Bugfin) searching for the perfect spot to put up a City Hall (CH). I found the spot, contacted the other leaders of our PA and we decided to plant the CH at that time. As we started movng the houses to Naboo, we were very excited as you can expect starting a player city and venturing into the unknown world or player cities. After about 8 hours of moving and placing and planning, the deed had been made by our Arch (Sacin) and after a long night, it was ready to place. So the time is now 5am in the morning. I go to the place predetermined to plant the hall and you guessed it...lol CAPPED!

While I didnt find this funny at the time, I can look back and laugh about it now. But back to Bazitch and his group. As I sat in agony over the trouble I caused having members move there homes from Coronet to here, I felt as if there was nothing I could do but beg for there swift sword to my throat. Then I remembered a person from the day before I spoke with named Rudedness! He was part of an Outpost close buy that had a small group of people and had talked to me about joining there city. So I decided to send him a tell and see if they would be interested in joining us, since we have almost 60 members now and they would be able to grow in a large city. After speaking to Rudeness, I got a tell from Bizatch stating he was the leader and that he wanted to talk about joining our city. After a long talk we agreed that his outpost would disband and join our outpost. Bizatch was more than gracious and I can not say enough of his charicter. Bizatch had agreed to destroy his CH and allow us to plant ours, then join our outpost. Can you believe that! I just wanted to let you all know what a great player he and his crew are for not giving me the finger and saying Tough Sh!t pal! I am still in disbelief that they had given our PA such a gift, and I will not forget it.

It is now the next day and Bizatch and I had agreed he would take down his CH and I would plant mine at the same time, so that nobody would get it in before us and we both lose out on a city. So I get the tell, and I make a small statment to the PA about the new begining...blah..blah..blah.. the ususall stuff. As I go to plant the CH I get a message stating I cant plant it here! Now I have about 30 people here waiting for this CH to pop out of the ground, and what do I get? NOTHING! So I am freaking out, I have to run to plant this CH somewhere and fast! So I start running in my Robe of Honor, freaking out that I lost the CH due to a CAP or another guy planting at the same time as me! I am running from one row of houses to the next trying to find a place that will take the CH and as I am looking back at the people waiting on me, I see them running and yelling at me "Whats wrong" .."where are you going".. "Where is the hall"...lol.. it was like a race inbetween the houses! That was the funniest thing I had seen, people in there formal wear, running after a trandoshan in a robe! I finally found a spot to take the CH, and planted it! At that moment I thought everything in the world was right, and nothing more could go wrong now since the CH was planted, and then it started.......

tell...

tell....

tell..

telll..

tell..

OMG! I had 60 tells in about 3 minutes!

So let this be a warning to ALL that want to start a city, make sure you tell your members to leave you alone for 20 minutes after you plant the hall! It will save your hair, and keep you in good graces with your wife... /winks at Miira

I must say that this has been the most excrusiating experience in my gaming carrer and yet the most fun at the same time. I could not have done this with out the help of many people in teh PA and most of all teh selfless act of Bizacth by giving up his PA's city hall. I cant thank you enough my friend and we look forward to working with you and your crew on many endeavours in the future.

I would like to thank the following people:

Bizatch and his crew for being the great people you are and it was such a honor to meet you all.

Sacin and Tariq for being such a huge help in the planning and organizing the City layout.

All of the <OS> family for the support they showed during this transition.

My wife Miira, who without her undying support and pushing me to be the best I can be, I could never be where I am today!

Thank you all and if I missed anyone esle in this list, I am sorry, you have all been a great help to me and I will never forget it!

All Mayors know what this feels like...LOL

Welcome to POLITICS...ROFLMAO

Lol, yes I have to say it was quite the harrowing experience for me as well... There I was standing at his side, nervous with anticipation. All of a sudden he starts running to the opposite side of the town. The to one side, then to the other. Being the good wife that I am (yeah right ) I kept quiet and followed him all around the whole area. When it finally appears way off to the side of the 20 buildings that had already been placed I get a tell from him saying "Come to the City Hall, love"and I was standing right next to him! I give him a hug and say, "I'm here love" no response. So I'm saying, "Can you see me?" Everyone around saying, "Yes Miira we can see you!" No response from Kragger. So I log out, and back in as quick as I can, only to find him off my radar. I try to talk to him, no response. Bound and determined to be the first to vote for him, I run to our medium house, and see the end of city message 10 m from our doorway. The blood must have drained from my face. The house was entirely full, with 277 items on a vendor for storage, and no lots left. So our great architect and city layout designer, Sacin, starts barking orders to people to start moving houses. After getting someone to place a house and give me admin rights I start juggling things to get try to place another vendor in the new house with my vendor limit already capped, and carrying as much as I could trip after trip. I withdraw the 277 items from sale from my vendor only to find... nothing in storage at all. I closed the window and reopen to find nothing in stockroom still. At which point I panic and send a tell to Kragger...

Here's a piece of advice for all you Novice Politician wannabe's. When your wife sends you a tell saying she lost 4 million credits worth of resources, don't ignore it even if you have have 200 other tells unanswered. There's nothing worse than an angry wife (even an in-game pretend one) to take your stress level and triple it with a single tell, lol. /wink at Kragger.

Anyway,three or four hours later90% of the town was moved over, everyone washappy, even the spoiled Twilek girl who discoveredher resourceswere alright after all, and ended up regretting a few of the things she said to her dear husband.

It truly is a beautiful city to look at, thanks to the hard work of my in-game husband Kragger, Sacin, and many others. While it was stressful, it is an experience I would do all over again to be were we are now. And I look forward to all the awesome things that we will be able to do with our city.

Welcome to the club!

I have nearly 125 residents and 7 guilds in my metropolis - when I logged-on on New Year's Day, by screen was a see of yellow before I had even got the interface - and some people had sent me 3 /tells in the time that it took for me to connect and my interface to appear.

Life for a politician is not easy - make sure that you never miss a /tell and NEVER go AFK - when you are online, you are on duty

Yours,
