It's clean energy if it's polluting in another place, right?

[Taricus]

In SC4, it is!

Cheaper than building a green power plant too. Also signing on as the department of education for the utopia.

[LostCosmonaut]

Alright, based on the voting results, the dystopic hellhole will be named Phobos, with the nearby utopia being named Deimos. I'm quite a big fan of the idea of having a council made of forumites, so go ahead and start picking positions for yourselves, and I'll get something up in the OP.

[LostCosmonaut]

It's possible to engineer disasters?

You haven't played SimCity, have you?
You can start disasters in your city at any moment, from fires and earthquakes to giant robot rampages and UFOs.
It's a standard feature in the SimCity series.

How about starting a random disaster in the LP cities every 20 years or so, to add some fun?

I'll definitely do this in the crappy city, at least. Expect a definite increase in chances of !!fun!! if we every get nuclear power.

I think what I'll do, is in the dystopia, after about 20 years or so, at the start of every year, I'll roll a d20. If we get a 20, a disaster will occur. We'll start out with small stuff like fires and the like, but by the time we get a million people we'll be dropping meteors on the place. I like to think of at as the city being an affront to the gods, who start trying to destroy it as it grows.

[MonkeyHead]

Minister of waste/refuse please. My job will mainly entail that the dystopia produces as much as possible, and the utopia send all of its waste to... well, you can geuss the rest.

[Guardian G.I.]

The utopia should experience disasters too, else it will get boring out there. Perhaps a disaster every 100 years will do?
I'm volunteering for the position of the utility advisor in Phobos (the dystopia).

[Rose]

I volunteer to traffic advisor for the utopia.

[andrea]

one million people? I never managed to get that far, before demand for anything drops terribly.
I guess it is time to go back to the game, and make changes to my cities...  high density residential isles with commercial between them and high tech industry on the sides , with polluting stuff in other cities works well, but it stops working at 250k-300k citizens.

also, I'd like to be part of the council. put me in any  department you need to fill.

[LostCosmonaut]

The farthest I've ever gotten is about 750k, but I hope that by disregarding quality of life, health, environment, and other important things, we can get more.

How's this look as the terrain for Deimos?

[RedKing]

Can I be the Phobos Police Commissioner? Easiest job you can imagine. 

"Chief, there's a multiple homicide down on 11th and Crapville."
"Bad f*cking day to be those people. Pass me another donut."

[MaximumZero]

If you find a spot for me in the council, I'd gladly take it.

[Sheb]

Actually, I think we should have a single city council. I like the tough of a dystopian society with large slums for the poor and perfect cities for the rich. I'd like to be the mayor: I'm the perfect choice since I have no experience at all, which mean you'll be free to do whatever you want.

[Orb]

I do hope we'll be playing on hard dwarf mode. 

I think I'll take a financial position for Deimos. I can usually keep my cities in the green.

"Edit" Looking back at our island, this may be harder than usual. Boats have high maintenance, and I'll usually just build a bridge instead. Also, I don't think trash can be transported by boat.

[LostCosmonaut]

Councils have been merged into one, as per Sheb's suggestion.

We'll be starting out developing Phobos first, and the first thing we have to do is pick a power source. Our choices are:

Coal
6000 MWH
Cost is 250 cash money dollars (official currency of SimNation) per month
Pollution: Extremely Heavy

Oil
7000 MWH
$700 per month
Heavy Pollution

Natural Gas
3000 MWH
$400 per month
Light - Moderate Pollution

Wind Turbine
200 MWH
$50 per month
No Pollution


Others, such as nuclear, solar, and hydrogen, may become available as the city grows.

[MonkeyHead]

This is the nice area of our berg right? If so, then Gas x2
