What a steep learning curve in this game. I literally suck. And with that....
Welcome to Martyville
The crime capital of SSP
For a town of near 2500 people, Martyville has attracted more than just young professionals trying to start their new lives. The quiet, small-town life has drawn numerous seasoned criminals into this once sleepy town.
Martyville has an unmatched view of the Cope Landing skyline; a glimpse in to a better life.
Northeast Martyville is a mix of industrial factories and low-income residential, with some denser apartment complexes along the main roadway. This area is by far the crime hotbed of the town. Many residents are quoted as saying "we have to get out of this continual death", and for good reason: the neighborhood averages about 3 homicides a day.
Residents have been protesting on the lawn of town hall 24/7 for over a month now, asking for an end to the violence
Further south, residents can find a little more peace in a neighborhood with a much lower crime rate. Most of these neighborhoods are home to the Martyville middle-class.
However, this neighborhood is home to many of the criminal masterminds which have wrecked havoc on Northeast Martyville. This nameless individual was apparently walking home from committing a robbery.
By far, the towns biggest problem is arson. On average, 7-8 homes are burnt to the ground every night. Arsonists have also targeted larger factories, leaving residents jobless and causing the economy to slump. Funding is limited to the fire department, and hence there aren't enough fire engines to battle all the blazes in the town. Lucky for these homeowners, the fire department was able to save their home.
However, the rest of Northeast Martyville burns.
Further South, a new mixed commercial/residential strip gives new hope to a quieter neighborhood, where people can live comfortably without the perils of crime (hopefully)
All the while, another day, another rash of arsons.
