Best Space-Themed Space CompetitionFebruary 22, 2010 1:50 PM
Hey citizens, it's Johnny Wilde here to tell you about an awesome new competition we've decided to run! Today we released the new space items (and good ol' Kent came out as a Trekkie!). They are all available for you in Dan's Imports. So many cool items to give your SmallWorlds space a futuristic edge!
Kent sure had a great time playing around with the new Space items for the item release story... heh heh... that Kent can be a pretty funny guy sometimes! I admit it, I'm a bit of a space freak too. Here's a picture of all the new items again, just to refresh your memories!
And remember, there are some awesome space themes you can choose from the themes menu which complement the items really well!
Best Space-Themed Space CompetitionThis competition gives you the opportunity to have a great play around with all the new space items we released today. We'll keep the competition open for two weeks, it will close at midnight on 8th March SWT. Please submit your entry to this forum thread.
You are welcome to submit one screen shot only, but if you want to give us a look around your space you can submit up to three different views of your space so it gives us a good look around it.
