You can visit the following links to improve ABRSM City:

http://abrsm.myminicity.com - increase population - 0

http://abrsm.myminicity.com/ind - increase industry - 50

http://abrsm.myminicity.com/tra - increase transport - 100

http://abrsm.myminicity.com/sec - increase security - 300

http://abrsm.myminicity.com/env - increase environment - 500

http://abrsm.myminicity.com/com - increase business - 1000

The aim is to increase the population and visit the various links to improve the city. If the industry/business, transport, security and environment links aren't visited on a regular basis, you may be responsible for decreasing the population rather than increasing it the next time you visit the city, which of course we don't want

The industry, security and environment aspects should always aim to be at 0%, with transport at 100%.

You can only improve ABRSM City once a day - or so they say. You can get away with visiting twice a day* if you visit one of the links after 11:00pm, switch off your computer, turn it on again the next day and visit another one of the links. Something they didn't quite think through...

*Oops, that rhymed a bit

Aaaahhhh, a Utopian paradise where everyone gets distinctions...

a bit less crowded than where I live at the moment !

Apart from getting others to click on the site, is there any other way we forumites can improve ABRSM City?

I think a nice lake in the middle would look good...

An arts centre with room for the largest opera and orchestral performances, and lovely recital, teaching and practice rooms would be good!

Val

Well, we obviously need a concert hall! And maybe some practice rooms away from all those grumbling neighbours so that we can practise at 4am if we want to (like Sarah!!).

EDIT: Sorry Val, took me too long to type this! I didn't mean to echo your every word, but they do say great minds think alike!!

I like it lol

I was going to continue the saying but then I thought that we should be the exceptions that prove the rule!

Val

I notice no one has a boat... how are we going to get off the island

The population is now high enough to reach stage 2

Car Expert

i dont get it... what do you do?

Just visit the link.. Then you are added to the population. Then I think the next day you can visit the industry link and contribute there and so on. I think...

Just to answer the question posted on the news board.

The city is meant to grow and expand as the population increases. The industry can now be increased by going to http://abrsm.myminicity.com/ind (which takes you back to the original page), but whether that does anything straight away I don't know...

Also, you need to increase the industry to ensure the poplation does not decrease (as people may be forced to look for jobs elsewhere).

The next milestone for the population is 100, which unlocks stage 3 (the transport network).

Car Expert

ooh ok thanks. i went to the number one city and it was like a mini new york!

We have now reached that milestone

Car Expert

Ah, that's what I thought. I think you have to restrict your one visit to one of the various improvements by choosing the right URL. I just improved the transport sector today (I think it was me) by using http://abrsm.myminicity.com/tra - but I think we'd best use the industry one first so that no one leaves the city!

Anyway, it's looking pretty cool at the moment.


~Wobby~

That might have been me

Then again, people could start leaving because of continuous traffic jams, or for a similar reason.

I did try adding both industry and transport at the same time yesterday, and I think they both worked.

Car Expert

I can't log into this anymore. My virus checker says that it is bugged.

I can't see any bugs...

Yeah, I guess so - I managed to improve industry today, but when I went on the site for transport, nothing new happened...

~Wobby~

Nothing ever changes when I go to one of those links - it just reloads the page!

I think it has to be the first link that you go on for the day, even before you go on the one without the suffix (in which case, you get an improvement instead of an increased population when you visit).

~Wobby~

Yes, if you hover over the links at the bottom left, it says One action per person per day. So you can increase population OR industry OR transport, but not all three in the same day...
That's how I understood it, anyway.

Just realised you can increase the population more than once per day... I think you can do it every four hours...

Have also tried adding more industry and transport improvements, but nothing seems to have happened...

Car Expert

That would be why then..

CE, whats the next milestone?

200.

Car Expert

We need another two people to get into the top 1000

Car Expert

Already been once today.
Well, some of those roads didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

I know... with the risk of there being traffic jams, I don't know how the cars would be able to drive into the city

Car Expert

ABRSM City is up to 947th!

898

877

It might be an idea - although I may not know what I'm talking about - to paste all new links into the original post.

Otherwise, as this thread gets longer, it'll get more awkward to find each individual one.

735

700

Done.

I've also placed the milestones next to each link

Car Expert

Oops... the next milestone is 300, not 200...

Car Expert

Well, it wasn't going to be easy...

640th.

Is it me, or does it look like there's a giant chocolate Swiss Roll in the middle of ABRSM City?...

624th You could be right

Car Expert

I've been adding transport and industry to ABRSM. Also spotted Basingstoke, at #12, where I used to live. They have problems with pollution and criminality, but it doesn't let me increase the security easily. Things get more complicated as the city grows, but it's interesting!

Yummm, that looks good. That'll be my house then

548th. Though 13% unemployment, I think we need some industry!

I keep forgetting about this...!

It's grown a bit since the last time I looked.

515th - and that is a giant chocolate Swiss Roll in the centre of town...

We're in the top 500 now

Car Expert

We've got unemployment! I'm finding that I need to type /ind in the addres after I visit the site to add industry and sometimes it doesn't work first time.

It gets more complicated as the city gets bigger. My old town of Basingstoke has pollution (so I've add parks) but it also has criminality. However when I try and increase security nothing happens ever. Perhaps you need a well balanced city for low criminality.

Not a problem for us yet though, we're crime free.

I think I may have inadvertently left the city while my computer was dead... But I'm back now!

Population is currently 299, someone go and become number 300 so we can start doing security as well

(and we're 398 in the ranking this morning!)

i seem to have unintendedly added person 300 (i clicked on industry link )
