Month of Moon

Full moon is to be expected all month long. The sky at night is bound to be very spectacular. Check out the meteor shower that is expected to happen sometime this month.

Don't forget, this month another competition will be held where the company who has the most money is granted an additional 10% interest by the Fabulous Bank of Fishville (FBF). Good luck to all!

Note: This game might end at 1 year only. 2nd year might be cancelled as I am trying to simplify and change the way instructions and results are sent to one another. Sorry for the inconvenience~~

Update:

Soooo…~ Looks like this month, the number of boats have stopped increasing. I think the harbor is just about to get full too. Anyhow.. without further a due, the winner of this month's competition goes toooooo……

FBF! Well no not really. It's actually Ilovechocolate! A round of applause to this company for their hardwork in catching lots of fish and thus earn lots of money J For the rest of you, don't give up yet! It's not over!!

Month of Wind

As the name implies, the weather is expected to be bright, sunny and windy all month long. What could this mean? More people going to the beach to sun tan perhaps?

Anyhow, do take the time to take the poll which has been allocated at the side It would be most appreciated if you did.

Considered Starting conditions:

$1000

20 boats

No new boats are allowed to be constructed.

(subject to changes)

There will be a winner at the end of each year. Winner gets extra information You can either ask for specific things or I will randomly give you some information.

Here is a planned schedule for the next coming days,

Saturday – Due 7pm

Sunday – Due 5pm and 11pm

Monday – due 12pm and 11pm

Update:

As expected, it was an excellent weather throughout the entire month! Fishermen were definitely very happy when they came back from sea. Looks like they brought back heaps of fishes. The market was totally packed with lots of cheap fishes everywhere!

Month of Earth

Here comes the earth month! Let's further introduce Earth hour by minimizing all electricity usage this month :D It might do good to the environment. Anyhow, it's also the vegetarian month. So I guess lots of people will be laying off fishes for awhile. Good luck fishermen!

I noticed that this year, there seem to be lots of people who want to take trips out to sea, but there usually aren't many boats available for them to indulge in this opportunity. I never got the chance to do so too last year, maybe soon when I'm not so busy. :D

Update:

Ah…. This month had really bad weather. To those who had went out to sea and came back with a bad catch, just be thankful nothing worst happened since your ships are practically indestructible ;) Anyhow, seems like there is still more and more ships appearing in the harbor. When will this madness stoppppp??! O.O (Not implying that it is bad to have lots of boats)

Month of Star

Here comes the month of star. Night skies are most beautiful this time around. It is filled with many many stars! Stars were used to navigate boats back in the olden days. Does that mean our fishermen will go out at night and catch more fish? Nahhhhh.. probably not. We have our fancy gadgets and what not now. Who needs to look at the skies for guidance >.<

Anyhow, the company with the highest assets this month will win 3 new boats sponsored by the Boxton Bros. Company. Good luck to all.

Update:

So.. as you all know we will be giving an award to the top company. Sooooo… without further a due, the top company is…………. *drum roll*

ILOVECHOCOLATE! With a total assets of $16049.

The company has been presented with a 3 new boats which they can use anyhow they like J Hope other companies won't be demoralized, but instead use this to make you strive harder! Good luck all~

Boxton Bros. Co. are pleased to have sponsored this event and wish all companies will continue to support the economy of this city. There may be more awards presented by them in the future.

Month of Sun

Booyahh! Month of sun is finally here. Hope this means that there'll be good weather coming. But then again I'm not a weather forecast so this is just hopeful thinking.

This month we will be sending a portion of our fish supply to our neighboring cities. Don't really know why, but they seem to usually demand more fish from us during this month. Maybe they are celebrating an occasion which requires lots of fish or just can't get enough fish on their own this month. Good luck fishermen! Do us proud~

An updated population census is available. We currently have 5542 people inhabiting our city as of late last month. Our city sure grows fast.

Update:

Its finally nice to see some good weather for a change. My secretary who has been MIA for awhile now, finally took the opportunity to splish splash and frolic at the beach~

On another note….

Congratulations to the company…….. 'ILOVECHOCOLATE'!! This company has been presented with an award of extra 10% on top of his earnings. Why? They have contributed a total of 470 fish which is the highest out of all the companies. To thank their efforts in helping export fish to our neighbouring cities, they gain this extra income. Considering how this company's name is Ilovechocolate, it seems to love to catch lots of fish too. Good luck to other companies next time J

Month of Ice

Ahh… This is gonna be a cold month. However thankfully the people of this city has grown immune to such sudden weather changes. Nevertheless the people's appetite for fish is still growing strong. Wonder how come people don't get sick of eating fish. I know I will after a while! :o

Seems like the weather during the past few months isn't getting any better. Pfft. Must be due to global warming!!

Update:

And another month with dull boring moderate weather.. When will there be plenty of sunshine? It's so dark and gloomy all the time that it's just so depressing to look outside. Boooooring……~

Anyhow, looks like there was a large surplus of fish in the market this month. Prices were ridiculously cheap. Good for the customers!
