Typhaine Artez, whom many of you may know, as a wonderful lady, and genius scripter, has provided us all with a redo of DJ PHIL's osvisitor web based system. It allows you to store your visitor list without storing sensitive data like ip addresses, but not having to rely on inworld objects - which often get reset. This project allows you to sort by visitors to a specific region, or a grid, or sort visitors by day, week or month. It relies on a free website for the free api call to process the data. What an amazing gift to the community! https://github.com/typhartez?tab=repositories

Do you like magic? Now you can have magic in osgrid! I've created these AMAZING and NEW magic huds that let you have special powers in osgrid. Powers include: invisibility, teleport to anyone in your sim, observe anyone in your sim from far away, instantly ban a greifer, rez an orb to help you find lost items, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!! Many additional magical spells in the huds turn you into a witch, fairy, elf, or vampire! Now you can live the magical life YOU were meant to live! Experience the JOY of MAGIC!

We still have some free parcels open and 8 days still left to build. Tell your friends and get your own if you don't have one already!

Here is how to get started (we apologize for the multiple steps, but these have become necessary in light of recent grid attacks):

Step 1: Go to https://www.opensimfest.com/register to get a ticket as an exhibitor or as a merchant if you want to sell your products. This is how we get your email address

Step 2: You will receive an email invite to create an optional local avatar account on OSFest Grid. You may skip this step and proceed directly to Step 3 if you would like to use your HG avatar instead, but you will need to contact us in Discord to set up a meeting with your HG avatar on the OSFest Grid.

Step 3: Sign up for an open parcel at https://signupschedule.com/osfest

Step 4: We will get an email about your choice, then arrange to send a group invite to your local OSFest avatar as officer to your parcel so that you can build on it

Starvation. Resist the urge to feed it!

It's been advised that every region owner protect themselves by having an OAR of their land. Wise advice, and something to be considered when renting a region, for example, on AviTron. Also advised: Have a copy of your account IAR. What does Alex have to say about this?

Nyx Breen has added new exhibits to Mind Odyssey art exhibit. When viewing the exhibits Nyx created you need to take the time to absorb and feel what he is trying to convey.  You feel the positive and negative forces in Forces of Motion; 6  Sided Singularities try to figure out how this illusion was created.  Waverly Walls is created blending beautiful hues of magenta and blue. He also added a piece that I created to the exhibit, explaining to me how he illuminated it to making it unrecognizable to me-the talent here will inspire you. Please come feel the experience.  continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Mind Odyssey

(*nah, not really any drama, but pretty interesting as part of Opensim's cultural legacy.)

The Magic Wand... This wand you can point at a greifer on your sim and fire it, and it will blow them off your land with a bolt of light shot out of it. You can also use it in magic roleplay. So it is both a personal defense weapon and a magical artifact, and it works.
Now how to use it? Just add it and it should appear in your right hand. Then go into mouse look mode and there is a tiny cross hair in the middle of your screen. Press the left mouse button and a bolt of white light comes out the end of the wand and strikes the crosshairs, so whoever you are looking at gets blown off the sim.
You can also use this magic wand with my magic targets, and do target practice. The targets change to show where the magic bullet hit them. Then you can reset the targets back to normal when you are done shooting just by clicking the red button.
