City Showcase

A Mayor's Diary, or MD (also known as a City Journal, or CJ) is a visual documentation of SimCty4 players' endeavours in the game. While an CJ/MD can take any conceivable form--a journal of regular updates, a story with a carefully constructed plot, "eyecandy" only--the foundation is a showcase of the player's game through various media, most commonly images, but more increasingly, animations and videos.

MD/CJ Index:

• You can find many CJs/MDs in The Sim City - City Journal Index.

See Category:Mayor_Diaries for more information and a list of MD/CJ categories.

Simtropolis

At Simtropolis, the City Journals (as they are referred to) are all housed in a single board, titled "City Journals."

SC4Devotion

At SC4Devotion, the Mayor Diaries are separated and classified in a hierarchy based on post count:

• Classics. MDs with more than 500 replies and 5000 page views.
• Best Sellers. MDs with more than 100-499 replies and 1000-4999 page views.
• Recently Published. MDs with 0-99 replies and 0-999 page views.

There are also auxiliary sections, reserved for specific instances:

• SC4Devotion Mayors' Diary Hall of Fame. This section is home to those MDs that have been chosen by the SC4D community as being of such exemplary quality as to be included in the Hall of Fame. Those MDs in the Hall of Fame are kept there permanently.
• Of Special Interest This Month (OSITM). This section is home to those MDs that have be chosen by the SC4D Staff for a month-long spotlight. MDs that are chosen for OSITM are housed in this OSITM thread for a period of one month, then rotate back to the regular forums, based on their post count.
• Inactive MDs. MDs that have been not been posted in by the author for a period of 45 days in the active forums are deactivated and moved here. Authors may request to have their MDs reactivated, based on moderator approval.
• MD Archives. MDs that have been in the "Inactive MDs" section for a period of three month without reactivation are moved here. Once an MD is moved here, it is locked and generally cannot be reactivated.
