Submission to Sim Companies Times guidelines
Maintained by The Center
The Sim Companies Times has given us a lot of insight into different markets, how contracts compare to retail sales, and much of that insight comes from player-written articles. That last category is what really makes it special.
We'd like you to write for the Times!
