Earlier, the Foxworthy sim was the scene of trouble when a number of accounts were permanently banned for reasons that made no sense to anyone familiar with the area. More recently, the region was the target of a griefer, whom went as far as to threaten someone. How the Lindens reacted was a surprise.
Due to the Sunweaver region cutting back on it’s number of sims, Club Zero is having to close it’s doors. The final party was Saturday November 28th at 8 PM SL time, with Lsai Aeon as the DJ. The “Farewell Bash” had the announcement:
Below in Main News, we take a look at the SS Galaxy, a massive cruise ship so big it takes up a few sims, as it moves to a new region. In Community, Second Life had it's own version of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, complete with balloons and floats. And in Extra Extra, one of our reporters goes on the halfshell a new kind of critter one can raise comes to Second Life: sea turtles.
In Community, a music event was held at the Crystal Gardens to raise money for prostrate cancer research. In Fashion, M&M has a number of new releases, including the complete Tutorial-box. And in Extra-Extra, a few of Breezes' Thoughts.
In the Astrid sim is a place where people with a love for writing have small shops and boutiques to display their craft, as well as getting together occasionally to listen to each others works, the Literary and Artist Village. Since it’s official opening on November 7, it and it’s group have been ways promising writers can meet and find an audience.
Anyways, I hope you get a chance to try SL belly dancing soon. Most Mondays at 4pm and Thursdays at 8pm, you will find me slinking round the club Parvana Ayre in Angel Shark Shallows sim, wearing practically nothing and "working it"! You know what I mean! IM me if you dare! Only the brave and truly fun loving need apply. Peace!
Veterans Day/Remembrance Day may have come to a close, but the money one group of volunteers raised will be helping soldiers for some time to come. They also built a sim full of detailed memorials in tribute for the week-long event in honor of US Veterans, and those from other countries.
Upcoming changesFor more information about the close of the Mentor Volunteer Program, please take a look at our FAQ.
We're sad to see the Mentor Volunteer Program go, but we're also excited about new opportunities! Now is the time participate in new offered programs, create your own programs or groups, or simply volunteer on an individual level. On our end, Linden Lab will work even harder to create the framework that highlights your efforts and supports the efforts of even more volunteers—heralding in a more sustainable and more creative phase of volunteerism. Rest assured that we will always want and appreciate volunteers in Second Life!
Announcing two new programs!
Linden Lab is focused on building robust volunteer programs in collaboration with the Residents of Second Life. Not only do we plan to help support their amazing work, but we also want to increase the visibility of their contributions for other Residents to enjoy.
The Xstreet SL Experience:
“The opening day schedule will be 3pm Harmonia, 4pm Cranston, 5pm Magnolia Anthony, 6pm Chandra Deed, and 7pm DJ Salina. We will also have contest boards for best dressed or something similar with 500L going to both male and female winners!”
If you are considered a merchant by Linden Lab, you may have had the terrible surprise of filling a Second Life Merchant Survey sent to you by Pink Linden this week.
If you like crashing into each other, you can go to the Battle Dome and have a go on the bumper cars.
Among the events on Saturday at Skybeam's Third Aniversary bash, the residents took part in a fox hunt. Free horsies provided for all. But the chased could be a little "cagey" at times.
Below in Main News, the man behind what looked like a new way of doing music ventures has announced with much apology he will be stepping down. In Community, Skybeam's three year anniversary events continue, with images of the Snail Race up for view. In Extra-Extra, the "Old Barn" gave it's last music event, at least for a while, as the owner closes it's doors.
“This is the third time that the 48 Hour Film Project has included machinima,” Chantal told the audience, “and has come to Second Life to screen and celebrate this wonderful event. This past weekend was not a regular weekend at all, as it was divided in 48 hours, for the tream leaders and their crew, ... working hard to produce a machinima ... I recall one team leader saying ‘I love a good deadline,’ and I wonder if that still stands.”
The first film shown was last year’s winner, “Merry Christmas Frank,” a tale about an elderly actor being thrown out of his regular Santa gig, saying the act’s been changed to scantily clad girls, and they “don’t need anyone about to be dead,” but the old man finds a way to get revenge. Then there was “Among the Badgerman” by Jun Falkenstein of Falcom Productions/Obvious Films, which was late but finished so allowed to be shown even if it didn’t qualify. Filmed in World of Warcraft, it shows a stereotypical TV nature show host coming upon a village of “badgermen,” treating them like simple primitives, completely oblivious to the fact they spoke perfect English and know some of the finer points of modern life.
Following the films, Chantal then announced the winners of the various categories. Team Clark got the most wins, such as in Best Directing and Best Cinematography. The runner-up for best film was “What of the Baker” by team Rediculous Sandwich Studios. Finally came the big moment, “BEST FILM is ... ‘Ring Of False God,’ by Team Clark.” The audience went up in cheers, lots of people saying congratulations. Chantal then continued, “Actually, you have all won!!!!!! ... And I mean it when I say you all have won.”
The interviews at the hospital were an interesting and sober reminder of the horros of that war. From here you can walk through the trenches to the front lines. Allow yourself time to go slowly through the trenches because many of the items are not initially visible.
Winter came to the Mystery sim recently, the scenery now sporting a snowy look. And on Sunday Nov 8, they had their first big weekend live music event to celebrate. Debi Latte sang to the dancers at the Heart of Mystery riverboat club.
