Okay, random shout-out to super amazeeeen people in OS whose post I love seeing on my feed here:
@Pilar Coz nobody else will bring you a friggin mushrom or behave costume for Halloween!
@lunalunaria for her out-of-this-world, eerie, breathtaking builds!
@valerieluv0 for ther SL-quality-level scripting and creations

It's a very surreal experience visiting 'Wednesday at Midnight' at Marianna's grid: http://three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002. There are lots of ways to die when exploring there, but all of them are fun. You can get killed by worms, stabbed, and drowned or just walk in still alive if you find the chalk circles to explore the Neitherworld (pictured) . There is a way back to the living world, too. Just stop groveling at the end of the hallway.

Want your own doomsday server? Imagine having all of wikipedia downloaded to a hard drive with a program that can search and display articles. Kiwix for desktop (freeware) can do it. It even has download links under 'All Files' to d/l the wikipedia database for you making it painless. Not only that but you can download a bunch of other wiki's too. Imagine having maps of the world. Or a doomsday prep wiki. TedTalk videos. Audio books wiki. etc.
https://kiwix.org/en/applications/ - by the way, it runs on linux/mac/windows/android.

Announcing the Mermaid's first open sim project! (Besides our very own beautiful home!) We are happy to be exhibitors at The OpenSim World's Fair beginning March 2025! Our exhibit is but a small piece of our region, just to give you all a peek at what we have to offer! There are absolutely incredible builds there now so we can't imagine the excitement when the fair opens! They have fabulous entertainment planned too! This is the biggest, brightest event I have every witnessed in open sim! (I think they have a few spots left!) Please mark your calendars! You don't want to miss it for sure! Until then, please do come to Mermaid's Cove and see what else is new there! Watch for events at the Blue Grotto too! See you soon!

Lost Castles... There are many "popular" castles being circulated in world. But years ago I saw several gigantic castles that were incredibly well done and beautiful that appear to be lost to time. They were not seen anywhere else. One was a white elven castle that was super huge and extremely beautiful. Another was a grey stone castle with exquisite interior and very well designed rooms. The third lost castle was a dark castle with many rooms. It's sad these castles were lost to time as the creators eventually logged off taking their beautiful creations with them where they are no longer seen in todays entirety in-world. Very very sad. The creators were expert builders and their designs were the stuff of legend. Now they may sit on an old hard drive in someones attic somewhere, or perhaps they deleted them in a michael-angelo type fit of rage. No one knows. If you know of any of these castles can you please post their location onto this post, and I will tell you if that is one of them or not.

UPDATED: ALL Arizona rentals currently taken at the present!


Last two Arizona/Sedona themed parcels!


10,000 prims.

Come get them before they are gone. Don't forget the Residents Group tag!

What is the “What Are You Looking For” group about? Come see: https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

People post about items they are, well, looking for, like outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. With 119 members, it is the largest, and most active group on OSW.

Here's how it works.
• Post your request in the group.
• If you like, use group chat to provide the link to the post to immediately alert people about it.
• Please do not post requests or answer them in chat. We are an alternative to making a request in the Front Page Box. Like there, group chat text will disappear, while posts, and the replies, will persist, providing on-going help to people browsing the posts.
• And please, consider being a helper, and visiting regularly to do that.

Thanks to all helping this group help people find what they are looking for. And a welcome in advance to all who decide to join us.

As everyone knows ufo's are everywhere. TV shows are rampant with bug-eyed toothless people who swear they seen one. Based on world wide ufo reporting we are getting visited on earth about 8 million times a year... Either that or a LOT of people are LYING for the sake of LYING. "I wuz standin in uh field with bubba and milford, when all uh sudden a brite lite comes down out the sky an it kep on gittin closer an closer. We dun did try to git sum pictures but are camera was messed up so we got this fuzzy out of focus grainy 1932 film exposure usin granny hawkins camera. Y'all bleev at don't ya? I sware we ain lyin! Y'all bleev me don't ya? Sure nuff, Sho' did...."
Even worse are the liars who SWEAR on their life that they were abducted and probed in their anuses. I can just see the aliens now. "Zyphod let's poke around in this ones butthole for a while, for no good reason whatsoever. I mean, like, we just flew 30 trillion miles from our home planet to look inside buttholes, so get some good pictures and for Dylarg's sake, don't use granny hawkins camera!"

Please join us for the monthly meeting for the Opensim Worlds Fair, Sat. August 31st @ 12pm grid time. We're getting together to share the latest updates, share ideas, opportunities, and community happenings! The meeting will be held inside the dome next to the landing zone. Everyone is Welcome. We hope you can make it! :)

In sleep he sang to me, In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me, And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?
-- Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, Mike Batt

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space...
-- Lord Byron

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark...
-- Amy Lee

From darkness did all hunger come,
With passion did all hunger feed,
And so, all passion stems from a darkness...

bzzzzzzzzt!

I had this townhouse out at the mall and did not realize I had forgotten to put a sales box with it. Today I made that discovery and well, color me embarrassed. If anybody tried to get this beautiful townhouse and could not, you will now be able to get it free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy it and that it will enhance your region with another original build by me. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This beautiful Pillar House was specially built for a dear friend's region to accommodate a people in her RP story. I am also making it available to others in Open Sim who would like it for their own regions. It features 3 levels, the first level being open for comfy outdoor activities like picnic or just lounging, the 2nd level is nice for living and cooking space and the top floor is for sleeping and bathing. It has a wrap around porch and is constructed of granite in various colors, polished brass and beautiful dark wengwood. Constructed to last many years, theoretically, of course. It can be found in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. It is full perm and free and waiting just for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia.
