View Full Version : Build a Sheff Forum city in France!
ColinJ 13-08-2007, 02:31 AM This is a childish and pointless but totally addictive French website where you create an imaginary town, pass on the link to other people, and every time someone clicks on the link (one click per PC per day) the town grows - simple as that!
I've just made a town called Sheff Forum - let's see if we can make it one of the biggest in France! Click here

ColinJ 14-08-2007, 01:08 AM Quick update - now have 17 inhabitants and growing nicely, so keep clicking folks! Forgot to mention that it gets even more exciting (is that possible?!) - when we get to a certain number of inhabitants we can start creating jobs and transport infrastructure!

ColinJ 15-08-2007, 04:35 AM Hey, 29 inhabitants and already somebody's thrown up a shoddy-looking block of flats - how Sheffield is that?! Let's keep growing....

Funny that, I thought it was all rather too familiar too!...........;)
ColinJ 16-08-2007, 05:40 AM Now we've got an office block and some tarmac-ed roads, no doubt disintegrating into potholes as we speak!

dennistowler 17-08-2007, 09:35 AM That was quick...I didn't even see any cranes!
Tricky 17-08-2007, 10:19 AM I note our chomage is only 6%, is this a good or a bad thing?
ColinJ 17-08-2007, 11:43 AM I note our chomage is only 6%, is this a good or a bad thing?
Bad thing - it's unemployment and is now 11%! Here's where it gets good tho' - we can do something about it by clicking a different link
http://sheff.miniville.fr/ind
Only thing is it's still only one click allowed per day, so you can't add inhabitants AND create jobs (having said that tho' it does seem to let me add 2 people most days, so it's worth a try I suppose!)
ColinJ 18-08-2007, 02:41 PM Now got unemployment down to 2% (thanks to a factory which looks dangerously close to residential areas!), so for now we're safe to either
add inhabitants http://sheff.miniville.fr/
or create jobs http://sheff.miniville.fr/ind
Not long before we can start on transport (I think we need 100 inhabitants for that).
ColinJ 21-08-2007, 01:27 AM Up to #1415 in the region, 75 inhabitants and unemployment at 1%, so it's your choice:
inhabitants http://sheff.miniville.fr
jobs http://sheff.miniville.fr/ind
ColinJ 23-08-2007, 12:32 AM Now #1162 and zero unemployment so for now we can add some more people
http://sheff.miniville.fr
Tricky 29-08-2007, 01:02 PM Nearly One hundred popn now.
Tricky 30-08-2007, 11:20 AM We can do the transporty thing now, whatever that does.

ColinJ 30-08-2007, 05:43 PM Just been away for a few days and see we've now cracked the top 1000 - #871!
BUT we have 10% unemployment again (the other day one inhabitant moved away because he/she couldn't find a job locally!) so maybe we need to get that down again

Where does it say that?
It's great news about cracking the top 1000. The excitement's almost reached fever pitch.

Hasn't it just lol :-)
We've just lost another one tho' - if you look quick before too many other people click there's a message highlighted in red which says "an inhabitant has left sheff forum to find a job" (sorry if you speak French and didn't need a translation!)
I'm doing another one on an MB I contribute to - that one's up to about 400 inhabitants, and by the time you're that size you also have crime levels and pollution to worry about!!

Ooh yes I see it now. He's ridden off on his bicyclette, quelle domage!
dennistowler 31-08-2007, 10:20 AM Nice to see he took Tebbit's words to heart eh?
Tricky 31-08-2007, 10:24 AM Nice to see he took Tebbit's words to heart eh?
Quite right, although being French I'm surprised he didn't just set his tractor on fire in the high street.
Tricky 05-09-2007, 10:23 AM Mmm our rate of growth seems to be slowing. Nobody clicked yesterday, although chomage is only trois percent which is terrifique.

Did that bloke on his bike come back for his giro do you think?
ColinJ 15-09-2007, 03:18 AM Oops, I've been neglecting our petite ville this week - been too worried about poor Britney lol!
Anyway, chomage seems to stand at 0% so the inhabitants have no doubt been beavering away without our interference :-)

ReginaldD 15-09-2007, 04:31 AM Soome some reason it's cheese today, just a random thing I started with and by the end of Friday everyone was very annoyed by it.
dennistowler 15-09-2007, 10:45 AM We have a nice little town going here, no unemployment and no crime. I reckon we should drop the barriers and not let anyone else in!
dennistowler 26-09-2007, 08:44 AM The rate of expansion seems to have slowed down recently
ColinJ 26-09-2007, 11:33 PM Been forgetting to check again! We've just lost an inhabitant even tho' chomage is only 1% - must have been a choosy so-and-so! Transport is a bit low as well - don't know exactly what the 'punishment' is if this gets too low.

dennistowler 26-09-2007, 11:37 PM I think we lost one inhabitant to a freak yachting accident
taxman 10-05-2008, 04:59 PM This place hasn't had any growth for quite some time, unemployment is growing but crime is non-existant
RosyRat 11-05-2008, 12:32 AM I've left a little message in the message book.
taxman 11-05-2008, 09:06 AM Oh no, two people have recently left due to the unemployment situation..
taxman 26-05-2008, 06:17 PM Anyone know what the latest municipal bulletin says?
taxman 28-05-2008, 05:55 PM Still a crime and pollution free town
I cant read french :( How do you do this then lol
taxman 28-05-2008, 09:34 PM I have no idea how it works either...I just know that if you click on the link every day then it registers a new inhabitant...or something
