RAAR NEWS

MARCH - JUNE EDITION

Jursammic Expanding

Since last year, Jursammic Park has nearly doubled in size and with twice as many locations to travel to, an upgrade to the Jursammic Park teleportation system was drastically needed. Under the guiding hands of Sam Co. owner, SammyMacman, crews began the delicate and extensive work needed to increase the teleportation capacity of the station earlier this year. 

By the end of March, Sam Co. crews completed their work and the station was re-opened. The expanded location now features several floors of teleportation booths and will allow for future expansion when needed.

Sending In Reinforcements 

In March, Imperial City Council met to discuss the need to expand the downtown core. After much debate, it was decided that the current plots of land located in the core needed to be increased in size. In order to accomplish this, construction crews would need to dig further into the dirt slopes of Holland Hills, a residential community located on the north side of the Royal Canal.

After the completion of a feasibility study, City Council approved the expansion, requiring large retaining walls to be placed along the exposed slopes of Holland Hills. Ground was broken on the first of April and lasted a week. Several new and larger land plots are now available for development.

Bridging The Gap

Corresponding with Imperial City's plan to increase downtown plot sizes, two new bridges were also approved for construction. The Holland Hills bridge which was demolished in March to accommodate the shorter span across the Royal Canal. After a complete re-design the bridge was rebuilt over the coarse of the April month. 

A second bridge also began to be constructed in April and was completed in May of this year. The Skywalk bridge now allows a second route across the canal and access to the eastern shore of the Imperial City downtown.   

The Big News

RAAR News announced in June that it had acquired a parcel of land in Imperial City and have begun to construct the RAAR News building. No word yet on when the project is expected to be completed.

Inspiration for RAAR News Building

Very Amusing

A secret project was unveiled on June 8th; the TIEland Amusement Park. Located on a peninsula south of Roundhead, the park has been under construction since May of this year. It has also been confirmed that the first ride at the amusement land will soon be opened. It is called the Rocky River Rampage. 

Park officials have also told RAAR News that they are seeking more ride ideas from you, so be sure to submit them in the comments below, on the community page or like our special TIEland Pinterest board to be invited to pin your amusement park ideas to it.

One Stop Shop

With the continued expansion of the Southern Galactic Railroad, a new stop has been added along its path. Almost overnight, the town of Whistlestop has popped up allowing railroad workers quicker access to the worksite. Around the town, forests are being cleared to make way for farms and homesteads. Whistlestop aims to be a small farming community that will offer a stop to weary travellers needing a good night's rest and access to the Stoney Mountain Nation Park.

Port of Entry

Already highlighted in the June  edition of Spotlight, Grimshire has completed the final work on its new harbor. Ships are already docking at this newly developed port which allows the folks of Grimshire new found access to the trades of the world. Be sure to check out the Spotlight Feature.

-RAAR NEWS- February

Welcome back to the World of RAAR News! This is the first news edition of 2015 and will cover off all the happens of February, so let's get to it.

Caching In

Geocaching Headquarters is now under construction in Imperial City. The new building will facilitate the beginning of geocaching in the World of RAAR. It will provide players of this sport with coordinates to go out and find hidden chests that will be located throughout the known world. Talamer, who is the current Mayor of Imperial City, is extremely excited for the new building as he has been an avid geocacher. 

You can check out more of the beginning phase of this building construction in the below video:

Jursammic Park Infrastructure Expansion

Over in Jursammic Park, Sammy Macman has had his construction company hard at work on expanding the roads and way points located in his lands. 

"Much of the original infrastructure did not support the use of horses; now it does" said the Sam Co. owner in a brief interview. SammyMacman also stated that the widening of the roads was only the beginning as there are many other construction projects within the park that will need connections.

Macwood Reborn

Also in Jursammic Park, Macwood Castle has been undergoing a major renovation which includes the addition of a library and a teleport tower. Interior design changes have also been ongoing in the main castle. Some changes include a wine cellar and updated foyer.

The town has been abuzz with activity since the renovations began, many of the local citizens are rejoicing at the return of Macwood to its former glory.

New Light In The New World

Long ago in the Age of Survival, Talamer went in search of a new land south of what is now Imperial City. Tunneling for miles beneath the vast Galactic Ocean, he came upon a land that he would call 'The New World' where a quaint little village of farmers and merchants had settled. 

For years after, the village remained unchanged and untouched until recently when, now Mayor, Talamer traveled to the New World to check in on Lord and Lady TNT_McD. He decided to help the fair people of the New World Village to expand and become connected to the rest of the world.

Employing Tri-C engineering, Talamer set out to build the village into a thriving community, even laying the foundation for a train station with plans for a future rail connection. 

Interior Additions

Shortly after seeing Talamer's Walk-Thru of Monson Heights video, SammyMacman decided to develop the second floor of his apartment flat to include a sitting room, study and games room. Couches, a large sturdy desk and a swanky new pool table add to the already lustrous decor. Truly a refined bachelor's pad. 

Mapping It Out

Among the many other projects undertaken in February by SammyMacman was the remapping and update mapping of Jursammic Park. Since it's creation the park has nearly doubled in size offering a vast expanse of things to see and do.

Laying Foundations

Construction has also begun on another epic project, the Palace of Fugue. Beginning with the Iceberg Isle teleport station, Sam Co. Construction broke ground in early February on this monumental build. With special permissions from SammyMacman, RAAR News was given a sneak peek of the teleport station and palace.

Interrupting Cow 

Recently, a mischievous cow forced her way into the Imperial City Post Office temporarily interrupting mail services. After some persuasion, ol'bessy was escorted safely off the premises to a nearby field. No cows were harmed in the process.

Till Next Time!
