Here is what I posted recently in the Choo Choo thread: I went back and listened to the Patch talk again. Here is what he said in regards to train stuff: Regarding new campers & trailers, we will potentially be turning the dials on introducing commercial spaces in campers & trailers, but let me just say "choo choo chugga chugga choo choo", and that will continue into the theme after, which will be extremely fitting for that to continue into. No mono rails, true rail. (a question: Is this going to be related to the SLRR?) You'll have to wait and see. I would imagine if it goes choo choo it's gotta have something to do with the SLRR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Jacobus Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I added a wirenet to my map of Bellisseria (4000 x 4000) and letters and numbers, for I want to make an OpenOffice sheet where I can find (for instance) A 7 = Venber - released 15.04.2019 ... Do not know if and when I'll finish that though - and as my map dates from 07.07.2019 it does not yet contain the newest regions. Still I guess some of you might want one so here you can download it... Bellisseria190707 by Leora Jacobus, auf Flickr 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well I managed to update the map but am not 100 percent satisied with to outcome for I did not succedd to fit in my new screenshots into the old map as exactly as I had wished to do. Still I guess it can be used so I give you two versions one with and one without the wirenet and the letters and numbers: Bellisseria190801 by Leora Jacobus, auf Flickr Bellisseria190801GN by Leora Jacobus, auf Flickr Click on the picture and download them from Flickr if you want them 4000x4000 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be far too early to consider another continent when there's still so much work left to be done to complete Bellisseria. I could be completely wrong, too.

Hm. And just the other day I wrote "There are no deserts in Mainland." It's plausible: Desert, 19th century, and post-apocalyptic neighborhoods? Or I suppose all three: living in railcars in a post-apocalyptic desert. 😉 Edited August 3, 2019 by LibGwen Added second paragraph 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morena Tully Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I keep thinking camels are a clue on the mysterious SSPE185. There is a Camelback waterpark resort that exists, that looks like it'd be a fun thing to theme a recreational area after, so I'll put in my guess for that (and to back up theory, it's named after camelback mountain nearby: the region next to 185 has houses on a mountain.. There is also a goat (kid) there, kids love water parks! And finally, what appears to be a water tower is next to the -distraction- train station.) *takes off tinfoil hat now* Edited August 4, 2019 by Morena Tully 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there are a couple of trailers on the edge of SSP 85, I have been wondering how they plan to bridge the styles from trailer to traditional. Maybe we will see soon. Hoping my AUGUST prediction works out to be timely. I don't understand why I didn't see any of that on SSP84? I cammed over from the east, then actually tp'd in. I didn't see the lake at all. I didn't see roadwork, either. I ran a blank area search, and the only thing it returned was one of those linden homes coming soon signs?

Because you're standing at SSPE84, while that screenshot was taken of SSP84, which is not the same thing. SSP (without the E) is the Linden's/moles work area and not accessible by us. You can see it on the map though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a dumb question, though could be asked a better way: "How does this dress look on me?"; "Is this dress okay on me?"; "How does this dress fit me?" I always try to ask a question in a positive way, rather than a negative way. Also, there is a difference between "dumb" and "stupid," so I'd classify "does this [item of clothing] make me look fat?" is not a dumb question, but may be a stupid question.

I'll accept the label "stupid," but then we're quibbling over technicalities. Questions like that fall into a broad category of Things That Should Not Be Asked because they are not genuine questions.

When someone asks a question that puts another person in a rhetorical box and has almost no hope of eliciting a truthful answer, it's a dumb/stupid/inane question.

Agreed, why it's a stupid question; stupid implicates the question itself (it's a stupid question), whereas dumb implicates the one asking it (It's a dumb [because I asked it] question) . But no worries, you know me enough by now that though I'm not a "grammar-nazi", I do get persnickety about using the right words to describe things LOL (I studied communications for a time and so, it has become ingrained into my soul now). I see as an edification opportunity. 🤓 Edited August 6, 2019 by Alyona Su 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
