Hi everyone. I have had a few people ask if we will upload IAR files to Wolf Territories from OSGRID. Unfortunately we have to protect the security of the grid so we will not be doing that at this time. However I'm pleased to say that region owners can upload OAR files, although we have a scanner that pre-scans OAR's. We are running a custom version of OpenSim called WolfSim that has many built in protections, including running on dotnet 10 rather than 8 like many grids, properly locked down servers running our WolfStack infrastructure software (https://wolfstack.org) etc. Plus users benefiting from our Viewers get added security,

We have removed some quite severe security vulnerabilities in Firestorm in our WolfViewer viewer that can run on any grid, but Wolf users get a lot of extra features. I wish everyone all the best with what is going on but that's where Wolf Territories is at the moment. Please PM me if you have any questions Lone Wolf in world, on discord or on this platform.

**FLUFFY AIR™ — Powered by Flying Brick™**

Welcome to FLUFFY AIR™, the official airline of the Moushouverse!

What started as a flying brick has become a living airport in the Open Grid — with autonomous aircraft, helicopters, a control tower, a runway and our very own mascot, Lucky the fluffy airport cat.

Our planes take off, fly their routes, return home and land automatically. Sometimes gracefully. Sometimes like a brick with ambition.

No passengers were harmed during development. Boo is still checking the statistics.

Built with imagination, scripting, experiments and a healthy disregard for the words "That's impossible."

**FLUFFY AIR™**
Where imagination gets its wings.

Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!
Apologies for the inconvenience!
Aurora

JUST A REMINDER, THIS WEEKEND—there’s a massive virtual festival coming up called WolfFest 2026! It’s hosted by the Wolf Territories Grid on October 3rd and 4th, and it’s basically a huge celebration to show off all the cool regions and creative stuff their community has built. It kicks off at 8:00 AM Grid time, and they have a ton of stuff planned: Live Music: There's going to be DJs spinning tracks. Dancing: High-energy spots to just hang out and dance. Lots of outdoor adventure and unique areas to explore. If you want to come by, you just hit up this link: http://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/WolfFest%202026/30/25... You can also check out the Wolf Territories tent if you want to get more details beforehand. Definitely mark your calendars, it’s going to be a blast!

identity verified by microsoft we release a new version of Peepski screenshot / video capture tool properly signed. should theoretically be easier to install :) smartscreen will likely still complain a little AFAIK microsoft doesn't green light until there have been a gadzillion installs. but that's my memory could be froggy.
Gyazo is maybe back up? there's now a note about the hack and says service will be unavailable with an update to be posted sept 29 however it looks like the service _may_ be functional now? i haven't tried.

🎤 Seeking Volunteer Singers for WolfFest 2026 — October 3rd & 4th

WolfFest will run both days beginning at 8 AM grid time, and we are currently looking for Singers who would like to volunteer their talents for this special weekend event.

WolfFest is a volunteer‑based festival, and no payment is offered for performances. We are simply gathering performers who love music, community, and sharing their gift on stage.

If you’re interested in participating, please contact Bonnie Parker, Tessa Lacombe, Passion Jumanji or Xenon Darrow on Wolf Territories to receive or return your performer application.

We would love to have you be part of WolfFest 2026!

🚛 NEW PHYSICS DEVELOPMENT AT OPENSIM NETWORK 🚛
We’ve been hard at work improving our truck hitch physics system inside OpenSim Network — and the results are looking better than ever.
Our updated system now delivers:
✅ Smooth trailer following
✅ More natural turns
✅ Improved hitch connection behavior
✅ Realistic jackknife motion
✅ Better overall truck + trailer articulation
This is another step forward in our mission to build a more advanced OpenSim experience focused on vehicles, gameplay, physics, and immersive interaction.
At OpenSim Network, we’re not just building regions — we’re building systems that bring movement and realism to life.
More developments are on the way as we continue testing and refining Nexa Physics for future vehicle experiences across the grid.

Dear Friends,

I have planned this day for weeks. I have made a description without personal details.
I am preparing a set out of my music collection that is a bit of a wild mix and ride through different styles of music.
Feel free to jump in anytime. I know there are lots of other parties going on.
If I could I would love to visit them also...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mabon Celebration
The animals on my picture:
🐘 The Elephant — Memory, Wisdom, Abundance

The elephant represents memory, life experience, strength, and community . In your image, it feels like a large, calm protective presence in the background.

That fits Mabon particularly well:

We look back at what has grown and acknowledge what has carried us.

The little sign hanging from the elephant is also interesting:

FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

This almost turns the elephant into a guardian of your three central values .

🐆 The Black Panther — Strength, Independence, the Unseen

The panther brings a completely different energy: instinct, self-determination, inner strength, and the ability to move through darker phases .

It is lying there calmly. It does not need to prove anything.

That fits beautifully with the transition from the light half of the year into the darker season:

Not everything has to be fought. Some things are allowed to return to the darkness.

🐺 The Wolf — Community and the Individual Path

The wolf is particularly interesting because it represents both community and individuality .

It belongs to the pack — while remaining an individual creature.

That connects directly with your word:

COMMUNITY

Mabon is also a celebration of sharing, community, and gratitude for what has been created together .

🧸 The Teddy Bear — The Inner Child

The teddy bear is, of course, not a Celtic symbol historically. But within your personal image , it serves a different purpose.

It represents:

comfort
security
vulnerability
playful creativity
the desire to protect something precious

And that creates a beautiful contrast with the large, wild animals.

The woman is holding the bear for a reason : between the panther, wolf, and elephant there is something remarkably gentle.

👩 The Woman in the Center

Actually, she is the connecting element.

She sits between:

Panther – Bear – Wolf – Elephant

and therefore between instinct, vulnerability, community, and wisdom .

That makes the image much more interesting than simply a “fantasy autumn scene.”

🍂 And the Fruits in the Foreground?

The pumpkins, apples, grapes, nuts, and grain are actually the clearest Mabon references for me:

Harvest → Abundance → Gratitude → Sharing → Transition

And that is why your subtitle

LAST FAMILY MEETING

works so well: it transforms the scene from merely an autumn celebration into a kind of last gathering together before the changing of the season .

The symbolism of the whole image

If we read the entire image as a symbolic language, it could be summed up like this:

🐘 Remember
🐆 Be strong
🐺 Belong
🧸 Stay tender
🍂 Give thanks
🔄 Turn the wheel

That, in my view, is the stronger interpretation than trying to assign supposedly “original Celtic” meanings to every animal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The turning wheel of animals:

🐘 Der Elefant – Erinnerung, Weisheit, Fülle

Der Elefant steht für Erinnerung, Lebenserfahrung, Stärke und Gemeinschaft . In deinem Bild wirkt er wie eine große, ruhige Schutzfigur im Hintergrund.

Das passt besonders gut zu Mabon:
Wir schauen zurück auf das, was gewachsen ist, und erkennen an, was uns getragen hat.

Interessant ist auch das kleine Schild an ihm:

> FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

Damit wird der Elefant fast zu einem Hüter deiner drei zentralen Werte .

🐆 Der schwarze Panther – Kraft, Unabhängigkeit, das Unsichtbare

Der Panther bringt eine völlig andere Energie hinein: Instinkt, Selbstbestimmung, innere Stärke und die Fähigkeit, durch dunklere Phasen zu gehen .

Er liegt sehr ruhig da. Er muss nichts beweisen.

Das passt hervorragend zum Übergang vom hellen zum dunkleren Teil des Jahres:
Nicht alles muss bekämpft werden. Manche Dinge dürfen einfach in die Dunkelheit zurückkehren.

🐺 Der Wolf – Gemeinschaft und eigener Weg

Der Wolf ist besonders interessant, weil er gleichzeitig für Gemeinschaft und Individualität steht.

Er gehört zum Rudel – und bleibt trotzdem ein eigenständiges Wesen.

Das passt zu deinem Text:

COMMUNITY

Mabon ist schließlich auch ein Fest des Teilens, der Gemeinschaft und der Dankbarkeit für das, was gemeinsam entstanden ist .

🧸 Der Teddybär – das innere Kind

Der Teddybär ist historisch natürlich kein keltisches Symbol. Aber in deinem persönlichen Bild erfüllt er eine andere Funktion.

Er steht für:

Trost
Geborgenheit
Verletzlichkeit
spielerische Kreativität
das Bedürfnis, etwas Wertvolles zu bewahren

Und genau dadurch entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zu den großen, wilden Tieren.

Die Frau hält den Bären nicht zufällig in den Armen: Zwischen Panther, Wolf und Elefant befindet sich etwas ausgesprochen Sanftes.

👩 Die Frau in der Mitte

Eigentlich ist sie das verbindende Element.

Sie sitzt zwischen:

Panther – Bär – Wolf – Elefant

und damit zwischen Instinkt, Verletzlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Weisheit .

Das macht das Bild viel interessanter als eine bloße „Herbst-Fantasy-Szene“.

🍂 Und die Früchte vorne?

Die Kürbisse, Äpfel, Trauben, Nüsse und das Getreide sind für mich sogar der eindeutigste Mabon-Hinweis:

Ernte → Fülle → Dankbarkeit → Teilen → Übergang

Und genau deshalb funktioniert dein Untertitel

> LAST FAMILY MEETING

so gut: Es macht aus der Szene nicht nur eine Herbstfeier, sondern tatsächlich eine Art letzte gemeinsame Zusammenkunft vor dem Wechsel der Jahreszeit .

Wenn man das ganze Bild als Symbolsprache liest, könnte man es so zusammenfassen:

> 🐘 Remember
> 🐆 Be strong
> 🐺 Belong
> 🧸 Stay tender
> 🍂 Give thanks
> 🔄 Turn the wheel

Das ist meiner Meinung nach die stärkere Interpretation als zu versuchen, jedem Tier eine angeblich „original keltische“ Bedeutung anzudichten.
