Leah 2009 [Comments]

The bid book wasn't supposed to be the point, just a little interesting extra to add realism. I laid out all my venues, transport etc. with details, something you're perfectly capable of doing without making a PDF or PowerPoint presentation However, I also hope I'm not stigmatized by some for using Photoshop, perhaps thinking my bid is just 'flashy'. I have put much more work into building in-game than I did in photoshop.

well i don't do flashy grafics because i am horrrible at it. i don't think i will do a power point anyway. i am going traditional. shouldn't be getting offtopic.....

A very impressive bid Craig. I'm currently away so haven't had time to fully digest the bid yet, so I'll post more detailed comments on my return.

Just to weigh in the ISCs official position on bids. It's the stadiums, the city and other items like transport which we're really focusing on. All of which Leah has taken great care in showing for us, and all of which are done very nicely in the bid. When you see the bid and think it's fantastic, don't be downhearted because you can't present it in the same manner, it's not the presentation we're looking for; just focus on posting venues at a high standard, ensuring your city is awesome and you'll have every chance of hosting the games.

That's what Leah has done, if you simply look at the venues and the information provided, you'll see the contents of this bid are really nice and would be receiving the same applause if they hadn't been wrapped up inside a bid book.

But back to the contents of the bid, as GreekMan says...

Oh, and to add one more thing: Remember, unsuccessful bidders get to host one or more qualification tournaments for the October games. So there's definitely no reason to pull out.

Thanks Slacker

awesome bid and very cool videos! *cough*star trek 11 soundtrack*cough* xD

i like the venues you put up on the bid not included in the bid booklet thing.nice touch craig.

can you ask sixu to look at his PMs at ST for me? i was having problems registering to SCJU...

One of the most attractive cities available. So far, I'm liking this.

Thank you

And sorry I wasn't around GreekMan but it wasn't only you that couldn't register though =/

don't worry i am on!

good bid. Id like to see more zoomed out views of your city tho. But i like the set up so far

There will be some Saathoff, but not too many as the city isn't nearly complete (leah will be a very long-term project)

I added large pictures of all the venues so far, I will add more details and other pictures too though

Not really part of my official bis, this is just to give you an idea of what Leah city centre is like at the moment. The CBD should be finished in the next several weeks

looking nice so far

looks good

wow i love your downtown! once you fill it in it will look great!

Added another mosaic of the city

What a beautiful city. Good luck with the bid.
