Earthquakes by the Dozen

Andy,

Can you please take a look, this isn't normal.

On LU, in my empire:

Grey: Recovering from large earthquake.
XBus: Recovering from large earthquake.
Kestrel: Recovering from large earthquake.
Kestrel: New Red flag today, Recovering from large earthquake that occurred in XBus yesterday.
XBus: Not showing a red flag that earthquake occurred yesterday.

In the past 10-12 twelve weeks I've had 15-17 earthquakes across the 19 countries in my account. On no world do I have more than eight countries.

In 5 years I've never see anything like this type of frequency.

Have you started fracking in your countries?

Now that you mentioned it, the profit on gas has quadrupled.

OK, more quakes. Pretty quick here I can buy a Stealth Bomber.

Personally, whenever I experienced earthquakes in the past, they tended to come closely grouped together. Like I'll go a few months with no earthquakes then BAM! 2-5 earthquakes within a few days. Probably like techtonic plates shifting, since there definitely are times where 8 earthquakes occur around the world in one game month and times where many game months pass with none. At least it seems this way, but earthquakes aren't that big a deal IMO so I didn't pay close attention to them.

Crafty: There was some fracking going on in a couple of my countries, mostly by LLWs, but I put a stop to that and closed down the houses of ill-repute. Of course the birth rate went down, but so did the quakes. **me, guffawing manaically till my sides hurt**

Them good fer nothin fracken frackers.

Getting gas when frackin can be quite embarassing.

Now who is the perv???

Well, guess I'm not going to get any fracken sympathy here.

Why do we have these anyway, anybody ever get excited over a fracken earthquake??

Used to be people looked up the most helpful president. The president who offered aid in event of earthquakes.

Another loss to the community I guess.

Why aren't there other natural disasters, like hurricanes or blizzards or tornadoes or Snookies?

Hey, good news, exciting! Another big one.
9 Corps lost. ASQ a bit mucked up.

Ouch Rick, that is nasty, to lose 9 corps :/

Three more since last post.
2 light, 1 major
5 corps lost, probably more. Missed final count.
Thats 10 real days worth.
I,m going to keep posting just to keep track.

If corps would help, just say, I can get some to you.

Thanks Crafty, but I'm ok with replacing the corps.

The biggest pain is that it screws my ASQ, depending on the corps that go down.

Appreciate the offer.

Two more Quakes, 4 corps down.
Don't need any assistance.

Lol, Rick. Maybe you should change your nick. It looks like you are being 'rick-rolled'!

Lol, ya just gave me an idea!!

/me keeps fingers crossed hoping that he'll change his countries' anthems to Rick Ashley's song

Nah, no one listens to country anthems.

You're not kidding!

OMG, he only went and did it!

+1 for your sheer audacity Rick.

What... but I listen to national anthems in Simcountry.

Speaking of which, I can't find them anywhere, even though we can still upload them.

Three light quakes since last post.
Only lost one Corp..so far, been a good month!

Two light quakes since last post.
Not counting corp losses any longer.
Now considering earth quakes an empire tax.
