Gossips #14

(Year 232, Winter) I'm back with he 14th issue of my wonderful gossips column! Welcome!

This time I tried to restrict myself, but you get a lengthy read anyway! Rest assured there are juicy stuff waiting - including the nude photo of a mature princess! You might notice that I will no longer use each district name for the heading graphics, instead we'll just have one graphic for each region. And - if you are like me, you are quite fed up with those eight regional numbers, so in the future I'll just stick with the regions' names. This issue will be the last where those numbers are included in the text - we got so much more important stuff to focus on than numbers, right!

Cavalier dukedom: Heir birth announced

(Year 232, Winter) The Cavalier dukedom, located in Brindleton Bay, Region 8 (formerly Region 12), has announced the birth of their heir! The little boy was born last week, and will be named Lord Merquess Bendel Leophold de Cavalier.

Few years ago the proud parents, Duke Charlopold and Duchess Luna de Cavalier had a daughter, Lady Cloudetta, but dukedoms can only be succeeded by sons. The family resides at Chateau Cavalier, at Cavalier Cove. They have been very restrictive not showing the face of their children, but as they grow a bit older it might get harder to avoid at least some regional exposure.

Artists Guild: Painters and Photographers

(Year 232, Winter) The five guilds have been around for decades, and one important duty is to oversee the many Produce Deeds. A deed can be bought if you like to sell your produce via the time saving drag-and-drop function. Your deed's value will increase over time, and can be passed on as heirloom to next generation. Holding a deed involves a minimum activity, though.

Each guild has a board normally counting their 3 oldest deed holders. Last week the Artists Guild issued several new deeds involving Painters and Photographers. Core group is lead by well known Painter, Vince Remeréz (74).

- These deeds were actually issued in Year 197, but with just one exception, they were never claimed. We have now done a little marketing to build more interest, and the result is 4 new deed holders. I am just as guilty as anyone else, today I bought my very first Painter Portrait Deed!

Region 12 Mazaloom becomes Region 8 Gloom

(Year 232, Winter) The Regional Reform Y233 was already completed and takes effect on 1st day of Spring Year 233, which is now only a few days ahead. The Mazaloom kingdom will still have eight regions, and while a few regional borders were adjusted, many areas were not much affected. Some new region numbers will appear, though. With the administrative implementation, a few more details are brought to the table.

The biggest changes regard the area formerly know as Region 12 Mazaloom.

Old Penelope Military School

(Year 232, Winter) Couple years ago, Year 230, a new private high school opened at StrangerVille Plaza, Old Penelope Military School. The lot is owned by Mazaloom Military Forces and serves as Operational Quarter including the office of Grand Marshal and more. The boarding school offer is in addition to other daily matters, and only a limited number of students are permitted.

On a rainy day of Fall a new term started, and a new student showed up: Bincky Tocker (18) from Chestnut Ridge. He did not need to travel far, but brought some belongings as this will be his new home for the coming 6 years.

At first, you might think of a Military School as a place where rather few chose to spend years of their lives. In the past, we recall students doing very poorly at school was sent off to military school. But, Old Penelope is different. This is a popular offer among teenagers who like to focus more on sports and work out than academic books. The disciplinary aspects of such a school will be a reasonable cost to most.

Free Download: Eyelashes recolors BG

While black and dark brown are common eyelash colors that will go fine with most styles, it's always fun to be able to create a few exceptions. Being the erratic cat lady with blue hair and pink eyelashes, or simply wanting to add a paler version with your sim's sleepwear - in case they remove the mascara for the night. In Real Life blond hair will not necessarily mean blond eyelashes, but it happens. Red haired people might have red-ish lashes. Old age might bring slightly paler lashes, too, but not always.

With this free download you can mix and match as desired.

Adjustments to Nectar deeds

(Year 232, Winter) Merchants Guild has today announced that several adjustments will affect most current Produce Deeds regarding nectar making. There are two reasons for these changes. The most obvious is the switch from an old (CC) production system to a new routine based on Advorton traditions. The second reason is that the old system offered a total of 19 unique deeds, while the new system narrows this down to 9.

Claudia Tangerin Mester Shine met the press at Oasis Spring's nectar store.

A Produce Deed is required only if you intend to sell your produce via the nifty drag-n-drop system or via retail stores. Deeds are not needed if you sell from ie street tables or at a market square. Also, producing for own private consume is available to everyone regardless of deed.

New website: The Royal Palace Office

(Year 232, Winter) Just a quick note that Royal Palace Office (RPO) has gone public with their new site!

RPO serves the Royal Palace Chateau Peak, the Royal Family, and the constitutional Royal Chamber. They host weekly press meeting at the palace, which is located at The Pinnacles in Del Sol Valley, Region 3 Tredony.

On the site you can find news and schedules involving the royals, listing of all members of the Royal Family, a quick illustrated tour of the Royal Palace Chateau Peak, list of all major estates owned by Mazaloom Royal Trust, list of most Palace employees, and more!

Mazaloom kingdom: Maps - Transport net

(Year 232, Winter) We focused on the Regional Reform Y233 already, but the Mazaloom map contains so much more information than the regional borders. In a mini series we will check out where to find the Parishes and Churches, the many Schools, where the High Nobility houses are located, and not the least: How to travel within Mazaloom kingdom? Along the road there is also a touch of national history.

Today, let's check out the transport net! What are the alternative transport options, and where do we find them? What districts are the busy network points, and what areas are secluded? The well established transport network includes roads, boats, railway and 3 airports.

The national transport plan sorts under Health & Welfare dept., and Minister Rebekah Starks (MIDDLE Party) will fill in as there are numerous ways to get about.
