Has anyone else noticed that the fluorescent flowers in Sanctuary Cove have vanished? There used to be flowers at the water front as well as in front of the apartment houses. While there are still flowers in front of the windows on second and third floor of apartment houses, the flowers on the ground have gone. What happened to them, I wonder. I mean these flowers (see older screenshot). Puzzled, Glyphan
Pursuant to the election of President Neverdie and the Teleporter Fee Fiasco all sources of government funding have been placed under heavy scrutiny. Subsequent to an audit by the Mindark Health Services Auditing Agency, Planet Arkadia Public Health Services was able to determine that nearly 14% of all arkadia residents and over 35% of all visitors to the planet had an allergic reaction when exposed directly to the pollen of these flowers. This generated an estimated annual savings of considerable size when projections were run including simulations of general health service costs when exposure to these specific pollens was reduced by a significant percentage. For this decision it was decided to terminate the maintenance of existing populations in government controlled areas in and around urban centers. I'm not sure how you missed it, this caused a bit of an uproar when the Mindark Public Services Auditing Agency recognized that this would also allow the elimination of two existing grounds keeper positions currently on the budget for the next fiscal year. One of the young men was an expectant father, and it looked things weren't going to settle down with his family and a few social media supporters but it straightened out rather quickly after he found other employment trading Treasure maps for keys under the auspices of the Mindark Monitored Arkadian Instance Adjustment Agency (Balancing Group). Local citizens were allowed to keep existing flowers as long as they agreed to maintain the gardens themselves, and the remaining grounds keepers were excited when the council elected to use the 17 months of budgeted but unspent salary (for the two terminated grounds keepers) to purchase two new automated street sweepers from the chairman's nephew's robot factory for celeste harbor, where the recent surge of people abandoning items of over 1 PEC TT value on the ground had been causing threats of overtime.
