SR Community

This is a light-hearted story about the SR Community. DISCLAIMER: The images contained in this story may not have happened. :)

Once upon a time, due to excellent work providing for the village, the villagers appointed Tony king of the village Special Reserve. Tony promised to provide for the villagers and make these provisions more accessible. With this, Tony appointed many princes to help. The two most prominent princes were Mr Snuggly and Loki.

Tony was very happy providing for the villagers needs but he felt like doing more for the more willing villagers. Tony set aside a huge field and he went in search for workers. Tony found a few workers and they got to work straight away. Tony used himself and his princes to look over the work being done and the best contribution of the day received a gift from a vast array of items.

The word spread and many villagers and outsiders came and helped Tony with his work. Tony was delighted with his workers that he provided homes for them all. Tony put aside a big plot of land and built homes for the workers. He decided to provide the best workers with huge homes and he called this area Notable Road. These workers were elevated to serve as role models for the other workers.

Tony gave very nice homes to the hard-working, regular workers. This area was called Regular Street. For those who had only just arrived or did not meet the requirements to get into Regular Street, a section of land with bungalows were provided. It was called Newbie Lane and just off Newbie Lane was the JAT hotel. The JAT hotel was used to accommodate the workers who had just arrived and were looking for a bungalow on Newbie Lane.

So many days went by and Tony made more fields available. Tony now gave 3 gifts away a day. The fields were carefully monitored as a few went into the fields to cause trouble. Every so often, everyone voted for new role models to get a new home in Notable Road. Currently, there are 10 houses on Notable Road but there is work being done on more houses in that area. Regular Street is expanding all the time and Newbie Lane is quite big but not very popular.

In the fields, the “Notables” lead the way with the “Regulars” helping promising “Newbies” to learn the ropes in the fields. Occasionally, some feel the need to leave the fields. Many though, have helped Tony build the village Special Reserve into a thriving community. The community spirit is felt the most in the fields.

Thanks for reading

my house is disturbingly close to newbie lane, and the walk to get a news paper in the morning is a long one. : ]

NEWS BULLETIN

"Today an argument broke out putting regulars against regulars and notables against notables, many newbies fled to the comfort of their small shacks after sparking the incident. Apparently some members of the community think it to be racist 'classing' people under different colours, one Notable even stated "Look at my colour, are you taking the p***?" A witty reply shortly followed by a nearby regular who will remain nameless, Tony's sidekick has now been called upon and now Tonty branding his unrivaled powers has been sent to keep the peace, no one dares go against him and everyone returns to their homes in fear shouting the words..

Hail Tonty!

Note: The previous statement is completely untrue and has been made up on the spot.

Nice Grandprix, you don't post a hell of a lot, but when you do it's something pretty special- keep it up.

Where

I heard the word the community one night and the idea just popped into my head. I just built on the basic idea I had.
