It's nice when a region gets a "like". But it's PHANTASTIC when people are inspired by the ideas of others to create great things themselves. Like the beautiful photos that some visitors took with an extra black and white styled avatar at Black White Castle and published here on OSW.
I myself was inspired to build the region in 2022 by the wonderful Christmas present from my friends Finja and Jason, who had built a Wednesday snow globe especially for me. Wednesday (Addams, from the Addams Family) is supposedly allergic to color, and so the two of them made this particular globe predominantly dark ...
So when an idea inspires another person to create a new idea and this idea inspires other people to create new things, that's what makes OpenSim really fun ...
THANK YOU!!!

p.s.: The original Wednesday sphere can also be found on Black White Castle: If you find it, you are welcome to look at it, but better not click on it ... :)

Es ist schön, wenn eine Region ein "Like" bekommt. Aber es ist PHANTASTISCH, wenn Leute durch die Ideen anderer inspiriert werden, selbst tolle Dinge zu schaffen. So wie die schönen Fotos, die einige Besucher mit einem extra schwarz - weiß gestylten Avatar auf Black White Castle gemacht und hier auf OSW veröffentlicht haben.
Ich selbst wurde 2022 zum Bau der Region das wunderbare Weihnachtsgeschenk meiner Freunde Finja und Jason inspiriert, die eine Wednesday-Schneekugel extra für mich gebaut hatten. Wednesday (Addams, von der Addams Family) ist angeblich allergisch gegen Farbe, und so haben die beiden diese spezielle Kugel auch überwiegend dunkel gestaltet ...
Wenn also eine Idee eine andere Person zu einer neuen Idee inspiriert und diese Idee andere Personen zu wieder neuen Werken anregt, dann ist es genau das, was einem richtig Spaß an OpenSim bringt ...
DANKE EUCH!!!!

p.s.: Die Original-Wednesday-Kugel befindet sich ebenfalls auf Black White Castle: Wer sie findet, darf sie gerne betrachten, aber besser nicht anklicken ... :)

*oh HELLO reopening*
Adachi will be open soon to shoppers, visitors and, as always, odd characters [like me?]. So, can you stand even more good news? Can you? Well, here is is. A CopyKat Collective affiliated oh HELLO region will be opening soon.

Now, that's a plethora of good news! I say that because I love the word "plethora". Keep on the watch for more lovable words announcing the place and date of the multitudinous reopenings.

[multitudinous -- another great word!].

In reference to my post yesterday..
A professor gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point the professor told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The professor said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness....we'll find ours too. This is the same as "community building" if we all help and support each other.. we would be much happier.. just something to think about.. as a side note.. I love teachers who teach like this!
Here’s to caring about everyone’s happiness .. now and always!

Curious! How many people care about rankings? Curious! What do people look for when coming to OSW? What do you use to find things to do on OSW. Is it rankings, region source..be it party, shop, explore. Does someone being #1 or top 10, bother you? For myself, I use OSW to find the latest happenings, in shops , builds, and courses, by new ads from people. Then I check out the events list, for the upcoming events. Look for a good chat, to participate. Lately this chat has been attacks on someone. If there is a problem with someone, should you not use a private chat? Or report to OSW, and have them handle the situation.

Are you tired and/or frustrated of terraforming? Does it take so long and it doesn`t look good? Fear not, you are not alone. Still you can decorate your region with nice mesh mountains, 01 prim only!!! - Seasonal textures included too! Available for FREE and FULL PERM at MOUNTAIN AREA, BOX 01 (its on the last box ,bottom right). Enjoy :)

CopyKat Life Boat: hg.osgrid.org:80:CK Alt Island
CK Alt Island is a 2x2 region made available by Apollo Star. I'm still setting up the estate as a short-term hang-out/dance venue. Other uses, such as having shops, are possible if it looks like we need to use this region longer.

CK Alt Island is open to the public. CK residents can sign in with an alt account on another grid. Then come to the Island and set it as your home location if you like. We can use the region until November if we need to.

Thanks to everyone for your help and offers of land.
