I propose a tournament

Posted by KingDedede On June - 13 - 2008 Comments Off

By Royal Decree, I declare that a tournament of Avalanche shall be held, in my honor. The rules shall be simple, when you meet with anyone, you shall challenge them to a game of Avalanche. The winner of that game will be eligible to continue on, until they have come, undefeated, to me. Where I will then pummel him into the ground. Should I actually be beaten in this game, the winner shall receive the largest trophy ever commissioned in the land, as well as a monetary prize that shall be paid out in the game currency of the winner. Let the games commence!

A Nuclear Disaster!

The nuclear power plant has had a core melt down! Radioactive particles have made parts of your city uninhabitable. Bulldoze the affected area and rebuild your city using uncontaminated land.

Lost in the Lair

Posted by Waluigi On May - 12 - 2008 Comments Off

I thought Luigi was the one who got stuck all the time. I’d be willing to venture that being lost inside a structure is the same thing as being stuck there. It started when I was, uh… escaping—I mean, attending, uh, leaving—a business meeting with some locals in the alleys. As I waited around a corner for them to run by, I ran into an old green rapper lady. (I think she was a rapper anyway; she spoke in apparently pre-meditated rhymes.) She showed me a treasure map and said it led to rare stuff that is incredibly difficult to find. I was a bit skeptical that eggs and ice (real ice, not diamonds) were rare treasures, but she assured me that they were really valuable. I bought the map, loaded up some supplies for the trip, and took Wario to the place the map said to start: an old [ Read More ]

Trapped Again

Posted by Luigi On May - 2 - 2008 Comments Off

I must be having a run of bad luck. First I got stuck in the trapdoor to the basement. Then I got stuck in a castle while rescuing the princess. After that, I wound up stuck in the background plotting revenge against DK. Well, it’s pretty ironic this time. I’m stuck in the trapdoor again. Yeah, the one that goes to the basement. I thought I filled this hole with cement! I mean, yes, evidently I was wrong, but seriously! Do you know what it’s like getting caught in the same impromptu trap twice?! Call it frustrating, aggravating, humiliating, and just not very pretty. I was just catching up on some reading, set the book down to close the window, and BAM! The floor boards on an axle give way beneath my less-than-stellar weight. There’s quite a bit of regret spinning through my mind right now. If I had gotten [ Read More ]

The citizens of your city need jobs! Build Commercial or Industrial zones closer to Residential zones and check the transportation grid to make sure your mass transit lines are used efficiently.

Cryogenics

Posted by Master_Chief On April - 22 - 2008 Comments Off

Cryogenics is a really crappy way of passing the time. You’d think that it’s kinda like sleeping, well, it is… kinda. You’d also think that you’re not suppose to feel like time is passing. At least, that’s what they tell you. But I’m pretty sure the cryo chamber is damaged, because I can still sense that time is passing… for pete’s sake, I’m writing a freaking blog post about it! I’m not going to lie, it’s really boring. It’s really, really boring. It’s like a billion freaking years of nothing! I dare you to try it. I dare you to try it for 10 minutes. Go, grab an egg timer, turn off the TV, turn off your music, dim your monitor, set the timer for 10 minutes, close your eyes and wait. Wait until the timer goes off. I’ll wait for you. How was that? Did you last the whole [ Read More ]

Thanks for Nothing!

Posted by Wario On April - 19 - 2008 Comments Off

I’ve asked for no butter and gotten no popcorn. I’ve asked for no pickles and gotten no burger. Or fries. Or onion rings. Not even any soda in my cup! But this might be the worst offender yet (and it’s certainly the last time I tip the delivery guy without inspecting the goods). I asked for no anchovies and got no pizza! I don’t know how these incidents keep happening to me, but it’s ridiculous! They give me most everything except what I really want. I reach into the take-out bag, I find a bun slathered with ketchup and mustard—and pickles!—but no meat! Add to that an empty holder for fries, an empty box for onion rings, a cup with a straw and no soda or ice, and two stacks of napkins and you’ve got one insulting “meal”. I ask for popcorn with no butter at the movies along with [ Read More ]

Advice / Tax

Posted by DrWright On April - 15 - 2008 Comments Off

If the tax rate is too high, the residents will move to other cities. Most of the residents feel that a 7% tax rate is fair.

RE: Ness, the reason you fail…

Posted by Ness On April - 13 - 2008 Comments Off

My parents sent me to “Spring Camp”. What a joke. You know what Spring Camp means in English? Eight weeks outside in the cold in northern Canada that ends right as spring begins. Our instructor wouldn’t even show us how to make fire until we proved ourselves “trustworthy” by doing meaningless activities first. “Oh, well,” I thought, “at least I’m away from school for a while.” My parents mailed me my homework. Lessons and tests, too. Can you imagine taking a test while being lost in a frozen forest without anything more to eat than trail mix and no fire? And PK Fire wasn’t any help until a sufficient amount of snow melted, and by then all my Psi Points were gone! I’ve never been happier to be back in school again. Of course, I checked up on this site as soon as I got back. It looks like Mario [ Read More ]

KOed.

Posted by Luigi On April - 7 - 2008 Comments Off

I am about 1/100th of a second away from being KOed right now. Just kinda hanging in the background, about to become a bright shiny sparkle. I tell you, those home run bats are killers. I’m also going to tell you that DK is going to be deader than a chewed up Pikmin. When I get my hands on him I’m going to stomp him like a Gumba. Yup. Just as soon as I’m unpaused… I’ll be KOed into the background and come back fresh and fighting! Yeah! Fighting time. Any minute now… … Any time now… … I’m going to beat him down… …and throw him off the edge… … He’s not going to stand a chance… … … Oh, come off it and unpause already!
