[QUOTE]Mark Skalberg, the new mayor of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulterville,_California"]Coulterville California[/URL], has an impressive resume that includes working at a local tourist office, and working at Mcdonalds. He also has a considerable background in urban planning. He’s an expert when it comes to traffic laws, irrigation and waste management, tax regulations, and district management. If it isn’t clear yet, Mark Skalberg has learned all of his most valuable skills through playing a video game called [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/"]Cities: Skylines.[/URL][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]“When I applied to Mcdonalds just a few months back, the manager just looked at me and raised his eyebrow. He thought I made everything up, and he didn’t care, as I still got the job–but it was very different at the city office.”[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Skalberg was right. Now that he is mayor, he is tasked with increasing the size of his district, expanding tourist locations, and even managing traffic. We asked him if it was hard making the change from game to reality. “Not really. There’s less traffic here actually. Since there’s only a population of 201, I still spend most of my time playing Cities: Skylines.”[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/sQLsqU1.jpg[/t] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Don't post satire articles - rules are very clear." - UberMensch))[/highlight]
Well then....That happened...
Who says playing video games gets you nowhere? :v:
cute
That's kinda cool. ... son of a bitch. I fell for it. :v:
Does this seem like a dumb idea to anyone else?
The source, since it won't let me edit for some reason : [url]http://www.news-loot.com/2015/03/30/cities-skylines-gamer-becomes-mayor-of-small-californian-town/[/url] [sp]It's fake :v:[/sp]
Proof that cities skyline is better than Simcity.
It seems kinda odd to correlate that
Being mayor of a tiny ass town is in no way indicative of actual resource management skills whatsoever. Literally anyone can do it when there are only 201 people to look after. [B]Edit:[/B] I would also like to see a source on this.
The story is bullshit, but hilarious to imagine.
What in the flying fuck is everyone's problem? It's not 1st of April yet, so why is everyone April Fool'ing like there's no tomorrow?
city later flattened and replaced with roundabouts
city goes bankrupt when nerd mayor builds too many highway interchanges

Reminds me of the football manager expert made actual football manager.
