Pimp My City 🌁 @FaustoFraser 🌆 Xzibit Comes To Your DCity

@JustinParke here with Xzibit, and we put a 24-inch ROI where your old ROI used to be, and turned your old ROI into a Weed Dispensary.

I recently cancelled my long-running #HiveComic contest, so I've been looking for something new to fill the void and entertain me, so with some inspiration from @luca-legend and Xzibit, I decided to do a "Pimp My City" post for a deserving Hiver.

Long Live @FaustoFraser 🙌

Fausto is a good friend of mine here in Suriname, and he has taken my family and I on many adventures, as well as everything from helping us find affordable housing to getting legally married.

Since Fasuto is the person who turned me on to DCity.io, I figured the least I could do was call up Xzibit to pimp his city a little bit.

Luckily Xzibit has a lot of free-time these days since the cancellation of "Pimp My Ride," so he was quite easy to reach. After a short chat with Xzibit, we both determined Fausto's city has a homeless, immigrant, and popularity problem.

Fausto's Newly Pimped DCity 🏡

So...it wasn't easy explaining to Xzbit that there are no "20-Inch Wheels" and "7-Inch Plasma Screen" cards in DCity, but through a rap battle we determined that 1x Basic Home, 1x Gym, and 1x Artist would be the perfect gentrification kit for Fausto's slightly dangerous village.

Once 24 hours has passed, the crime rate will have dropped, the hipsters will start moving in, and an art gallery is likely to open soon. Also ,now that his DCity's popularity is above a 10 ^{(must be above 10 for training to work)}, the "Job Center" card can start functioning.

Here's The Keys 🔑

Xzibit and I have limited financial means these days, but we did the best we could do on a budget. Some stats may seem unaffected because we are working on a small scale and dealing with decimal points, but every little bit matters and is calculated into the algorithm.

The most important statistic is that your SIM income is up 35%+, a huge increase in the scheme of things.

Enjoy your newly pimped city @FaustoFraser, the Job Center will start doing it's magic soon, and if you go inside, you'll notice we decked it out with subwoofers, plasma screens, pleather couches, and a Twizzlers dispenser under every chair.
