Description
Golden Sol meets the horizon and the sky bikers chase it. Called "Ride the Sun"; to Maylu's knowledge no one has ever caught the Sun on a sky bike. No one has caught up to it. Still sky bikers must try, hopping like kitties after a laser beam. Funny how it always seems to get away - hiss!.
In the quest for "efficiencies", the rabble chamber1 opted to clean up Dystopia's image - cheaper than cleaning up the actual city. The iconic civic motto, "Dystopia: If you think its weird now, you should have been here before", just doesn't cut it for a new century - sic aiunt. The Old Party insist that their metropolis is no longer so weird. Never mind that purple oranges grow on red maple trees. Or that nearly half the voting population consists of floaters, triffids, synthetics (including love bots), cats (they prefer the nomen 'kitty') and vegan zombies. No, not weird at all.
Thus a mostly non-biblical polling of the electorate sounded out the following candidates for the new metro motto.
- "Dystopia: Home of the Grim Reaper". Actually, he lives in the suburb of Endsville - 17km outside the city limits. Death has given his celebrity endorsement to this motto.
- "Dystopia: Здесь умершие более многочисленн чем прожитие". Catchy but untrue, the zombies just attract more attention.
- "Dystopia: Our liquor чисто and our prostitutes are 純潔2". The mayor's favourite, but cherry is not an official Dystopian colour.
- "Dystopia: Our mayor's a imbecile but he's just one guy". Factual, but the dolt disappeared in the City Park the other day. The triffids claim they didn't eat him. But he did cancel their transit line, funneling the quatloos into tax breaks for brothel patrons.
- "Dystopia: The city that cares, unlike those low lifes in Steampunki-punki-ford". Neogoths; they think they're so big with their swanky leather threads, broody atmosphere and sexy V4 models.3
- "Dystopia: 侵入者將被違犯". For those who kick it old school.
- "Dystopia: Kiss your sorry ass goodbye". Disqualified for bad taste, language and violation of Canadian copyright laws.

I have to admit, these Dystopia stories never ever turn out the way I imagine them at first. The city is quite the quirky mistress. My thanks and dedication to Sherrie (aka. drifterlee) for posting the secret which allowed me to complete this rendering after several programme crashes. Vue can only import 127 textures at a time from a Poser file. A V3 character, fully clothed with a sky bike seems to break this rule and so would not import as a single unit. Thanks again Sherrie.
Giant project congrats Beautiful work and dedi :)

The Imbecile is dead. Long live the imbecile. Number four could work. Very funny! I love the slogans, especially the first one. Beautiful image.
