Baby Boom

6 Day 442, 00:44 South Africa

I haven't published anything in a while. Mostly because I barely have enough time to work, train and manage my companies with little left over to be really involved in the community.

There is however something that I have noticed in the last week or so.

For many weeks now our population has been fairly stable at around 500 citizens, or just under but in the last week our population has sky rocketed to what is now a little of 620 citizens.

At first I was concerned that someone was moving in to try and take over again but given that we have almost nothing left I think that unlikely. Most of the growth appears to be new players who hopefully will stick around long enough to discover the interesting parts of this game.

The effect these new citizens could have on our economy is significant. Already my company's have some additional employees and could be enjoying an increase in production once they get up to speed. I hope that many more of the new citizens will choose to work in non-diamond companies.

To the baby boomers, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay and will help us make this a far, far, better country to live in.

There was a discussion on the national forum a couple of weeks ago about posting recruitment offers on various South African gamer forums. Hopefully a lot of the newborn are RL Saffries. Welcome wherever you're from though!

Yeah have spoken to some of the new guys, there seem to be a few real Saffers in the bunch.

I joined a few days back, and I am proudly South African AND proudly eSouth African.
