Here is the fifth instalment of Whiskey's

THE MINI-CITY NEWS THREAD.

So let's have a thread for all the Mini-City stuff. Stats, congrat's, etc. all in one place.

Let's start with a little history...

Before the 5th of October 2008 the populations of the cities founded by Whiskey, Moon, Uli and Eagle were increasing at a rate of approximately 18 per day.

On 8th of October 2008 the population increases were in the hundreds per day.

Now they are in the thousands, the higher numbers the result of using various click exchanges.

Pictures of the Mini-Cities are generated from information in a database. Each independent click on a city's page (per 24 hours) contributes to the development of the city. As well as population, the city model includes industry, transport, security and the environment, which deteriorate if the city is neglected, causing people to leave! You can create a city by visiting MyMiniCity.com. "Click exchanges" (listed below) automate the clicking and increase click counts, but if you start using them straight away on a new city, you miss all the early evolution of buildings etc in the display, so I suggest you build the city just using real clicks for a while first.

Here are links to the previous mini-city threads:

Whiskey's Mini-City News IV
Whiskey's Mini-City News III
The New Mini-City News
Mini-Cities News

Here is a summary of the click exchanges which have been mentioned in previous threads:
Idarionis Hydra
Utopia Click Exchange
Autoclicks (in French, follow the English link for pages in English)
Yarolds (no information about this is available until you create an account)

Also on Idarionis Hydra, msattler runs 'Team Seti':
If you are not on a team there and would like to join him, you would be most welcome. Team members can receive extra visits, either by changing their IP address or by drinking from the Youth Fountain as a single-IP user.

Soooooo....
The kitties invite you to join them on 'Team Seti'.

Meow meow.

Thank you for the stats Michael.

Hydra is only giving out around 120 visits per IP addy tonight.
Criminy, it takes a long time for me to make my 3000 or so visits at that rate.

As usual when things get this tangled on Hydra, I have sent a message to Vandhall to see if he can effect some repairs.


OH, and thanks again for all your efforts keeping the stats for us, Michael.

Meow.
