We had been afraid of it for quite a while, the signs were apparant. A while ago the citizens of Bahthoevedorp noticed a small island in the vicinity of their coast. Everyone was pleased and curious and came from far to see it. Various people doctored out plans to use the island themselves. A few people offered to buy it, including the city of Bahthoevedorp. Experts said that the island was uninhabitable though due to the jagged cliffs and many trees.
How happy everyone was then when they arrived in the Federation earlier this week. From the boat that sailed over the Valuta sounded the first comments. Someone said something about a giant monster sleeping in between the three countries. A richer person (dropped off by helicopter) reported a giant banana in the Valuta.
When we had arrived the truth quickly spread. Franklin Ibisha had navigated the island an found it an ideal place for a new colony. Virtua was the lucky one, and he offered it to the nation with a few requirements.
Our story however does not end there. Geographic experts from the Federal Government found horrible results from the rising of the new island. The shifts in the surface had created a change in the current of the Valuta, now threathning Bahthoevedorp and it’s inhabitants. The same experts predict that Bahthoevedorp will sink into the river if nothing happens.
To prevent this from happening a plan was thought of. A dike needs to be built amounting 500,000 clay and 1,000 diamonds. The Federals have shown their sympathy with the inhabitants and have offered logistical and financial help. They have sent buyers to go through Digitalia and Cyberia buying all clay and diamonds on offer for a certain price.
The Cyberian Parliament has also tried their bit and Minister of Finance marcelbuter reserved money for the buying of clay and diamonds. Some people are however now proposing digging a canal to Kronenburg, that has been troubled by drought this summer. Cyberian experts have said that it’s possible, but a reaction is yet to be seen by representatives of the Federals.
It is said to say though that a group of cunning people have moved to break up these plans and let the city sink. Especially Bloemenverkoper and vinny are promoting these ideas, saying that the economy will take a dive. These leeches dare to call themselves politicians. They and their followers say that the city is nothing else than alter-egos and takes money that could be invested in other cities. Selfish as they are they do not care about the rich history of Bahthoevedorp and the cycle of ups and downs.
The last word has not been said about this, and while the mission is a challenge, it is possible. I call to everyone to help Bahthoevedorp (and make some money in the process) and sell clay massively for 0.50 per in your shops. Show that you support the idea and let those leeches stay out in the cold. We will come back to them later, once we’re done.
