Dear Friends of the Virtual Carnival,

What an incredible time we have had! Once again, we were able to celebrate an unbelievably beautiful carnival in the Pangea Grid together. It was a festival of colors, imagination, and pure joy. One of the undisputed highlights was our Rose Monday parade, where creativity and community spirit came together in a truly impressive way.

A huge thank you goes to all those who, with tireless dedication and boundless imagination, built the incredibly creative floats, airplanes, UFOs, and many other wonderful constructions. You transformed the Pangea Grid into a true carnival spectacle and brought joy to countless people!

We are especially delighted that so many external grids joined us again this year, making our carnival an even more diverse and exhilarating event. A heartfelt thank you to Soul Grid, Monroose Grid, Nabila Grid, CCI Bikerworld, SoA.Bad and SINAS.S, HG Safari, and Loru.Destiny from the Grid artdestiny! Your participation has once again enriched and brought life to this Rose Monday parade.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to Abraxas and Lilie Oller, Bink Draconia, Finja and Jason Flux, Tutz, Lampithaler and Reyno Parx, Lilly Topas, Kitty Sarrasine,, and all the many dedicated participants who made this carnival what it was: an unforgettable experience!

As we cherish the memories of this wonderful carnival in our hearts, we already look ahead: Next year, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Cologne Virtual Carnival! A very special jubilee that we will mark with even more brilliance, even more magic, and even more enthusiasm. The anticipation is already immense!

With a short video insight, I bid you farewell and say from the bottom of my heart Thank you! For your enthusiasm, your creativity, and your love for the carnival. Without you, this festival would not be the same!

Three cheers from the heart: Kölle Alaaf! Pangea Alaaf! Virtual Carnival Alaaf!

With carnival greetings and full of excitement for next year,

Yours, Marlon Wayne

Liebe Freunde des virtuellen Karnevals,

was für eine grandiose Zeit liegt hinter uns! Auch in diesem Jahr durften wir gemeinsam einen unglaublich schönen Karneval im Pangea Grid erleben. Es war ein Fest der Farben, der Fantasie und der puren Lebensfreude. Einer der unbestrittenen Höhepunkte war unser Rosenmontagsumzug, bei dem sich Kreativität und Gemeinschaftssinn auf beeindruckende Weise vereinten.

Ein riesiges Dankeschön gebührt all jenen, die mit unermüdlichem Einsatz und grenzenloser Vorstellungskraft die unfassbar kreativen Wagen, Flugzeuge, UFOs und viele andere wunderbare Konstruktionen gebaut haben. Ihr habt das Pangea Grid in ein wahres Narrenschiff verwandelt und damit unzähligen Menschen Freude bereitet!

Besonders freuen wir uns, dass auch in diesem Jahr wieder zahlreiche auswärtige Grids teilgenommen haben, was unseren Karneval zu einem noch vielfältigeren und mitreißenderen Ereignis gemacht hat. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Soul Grid, das Monroose Grid, das Nabila Grid, CCI Bikerworld, SoA.Bad und SINAS.S, die HG Safari sowie Loru.Destiny aus dem Grid Artdestiny! Eure Teilnahme hat diesen Rosenmontagszug wieder einmal bereichert und mit Leben gefüllt.

Ebenso möchte ich mich ganz besonders bei Abraxas und Lilie Oller, Bink Draconia, Finja und Jason Flux, Tutz Zabelin, Lampithaler und Reyno Parx, Lilly Topas, Kitty Sarrasine und all den vielen engagierten Teilnehmern bedanken, die diesen Karneval zu dem gemacht haben, was er war: ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!

Und während wir diesen wundervollen Karneval nun in unseren Herzen bewahren, richten wir den Blick bereits nach vorne: Nächstes Jahr feiern wir das 20-jährige Bestehen des Kölner virtuellen Karnevals! Ein ganz besonderes Jubiläum, das wir mit noch mehr Glanz, noch mehr Magie und noch mehr Begeisterung begehen werden. Die Vorfreude darauf ist jetzt schon riesig!

Mit einem kleinen Video-Einblick verabschiede ich mich und sage von Herzen Danke! Für eure Begeisterung, eure Kreativität, eure Liebe zum Karneval. Ohne euch wäre dieses Fest nicht dasselbe!

Dreimol vun Hätze: Kölle Alaaf! Pangea Alaaf! Virtueller Karneval Alaaf!

Mit karnevalistischen Grüßen und voller Vorfreude auf das nächste Jahr, euer Marlon Wayne

There is no virtual and real for me, my avatar is me, I am my avatar, everything is my reality...

The way I work is a back and forth between the virtual and the real;
Most of the time, everything starts with a 3D model that is often used in my virtual installations, then this model is printed in 3D and becomes a physical sculpture. Finally, I sometimes scan these sculptures while keeping the alterations they contain and reintroduce them into the virtual space.

These different works have superimposed layers, by playing with the different techniques, they transform, reveal glitches, this mutation is the reflection of the random and multiple visions that I like to explore.

In the AnatoBotanica region, I created a space where you can see my real sculptures in the form of scans, and also a gallery with works in augmented reality.

Some of my actual sculptures, as well as augmented reality digital prints are available for sale, to view my work please visit: https://artmvn.art/

♥Thank you Pangea Grid team for letting me build on Anatobotanica ♥

Hypergrid : dorenas-world.de:8002:Nihilon.

Anachron's politisches Manifest

Ich weiß, eigentlich wollte ich vorerst mit politischen Statements zurückhalten, aber das hier muss nun sein.

1. Die Notwendigkeit der Veränderung

Die Welt befindet sich in einem radikalen Wandel. Die politischen, sozialen und ökologischen Herausforderungen sind massiv und drängend, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Klimakrise und globale Ungleichheit. Angesichts dieser Umstände halte ich es für illusorisch und schädlich, auf den Status quo zu setzen. Die Mitte der politischen Landschaft, die oft den Erhalt des Bestehenden propagiert, kann keine Lösung bieten, da sie die realen, tiefgreifenden Probleme unserer Zeit nicht anerkennt und keine effektiven, mutigen Lösungen verfolgt.

2. Die Position der Mitte: Illusion des Stillstands

Die Mitte strebt an, die Existenz von Institutionen und Strukturen zu bewahren, ohne die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen anzuerkennen, die notwendig sind, um mit den Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts Schritt zu halten. Die Angst vor Veränderungen führt zu einem verzögerten Handeln, das uns in eine gefährliche Stagnation führt. Die weltweiten Probleme sind jedoch zu drängend, um auf eine bequeme, aber letztlich unzureichende Anpassung zu setzen. Ein „Weiter so“ ist eine Haltung, die die Welt in den Abgrund führt.

3. Die Rechte: Ignoranz und Selbstsucht

Die rechte politische Seite leugnet nicht nur die offensichtlichen Probleme wie den Klimawandel und die soziale Ungerechtigkeit, sondern sie tut dies auch oft wider besseres Wissen. Ihre selbstsüchtige Populismus-Agenda ist auf kurzfristige politische Gewinne ausgerichtet, die den langfristigen Wohlstand und das Überleben gefährden. Die Haltung „Nach mir die Sintflut“ ist eine gefährliche, kurzsichtige Ideologie, die die Existenz der Allgemeinheit aufs Spiel setzt, um den Luxus und die Macht einer privilegierten Minderheit zu sichern.

4. Die Linke: Ehrlichkeit und Verantwortung

Die linke Seite der Politik nimmt die drängenden Herausforderungen ernst und ist bestrebt, sie aktiv anzugehen. Sie fordert tiefgreifende gesellschaftliche Veränderungen, um soziale Gerechtigkeit, Nachhaltigkeit und Klimaschutz zu gewährleisten. Diese Position ist nicht nur ehrlicher, sondern auch zukunftsweisend, da sie realistische Lösungen für unsere Probleme sucht. Es gibt keine leichten Antworten, aber die Ehrlichkeit, mit der diese Fragen angegangen wird, ist eine Stärke.
Jedoch darf auch die Gefahr des Extremismus nicht unterschätzt werden. Eine gewaltsame Revolution oder utopische, radikale Lösungen würden nur zu Chaos und Zerstörung führen und die bestehenden Probleme nicht lösen. Der Weg der Linken muss weiterhin rational, inklusiv und friedlich sein, ohne in extreme Ideologien abzurutschen.

5. Das Versagen der Konservativen: Die Vernachlässigung der Zukunft

Der konservative Wunsch, den Status quo zu bewahren, ist letztlich unrealistisch und gefährlich. In einer Welt, die sich dramatisch verändert, sind konservative Ansätze, die den „Erhalt des Bestehenden“ betonen, ein Rückschritt, keine Lösung. Die Herausforderungen von Klimawandel, technologischer Umbruch und sozialer Ungleichheit erfordern einen entschlossenen, vorausschauenden und flexiblen Ansatz, den der Konservatismus nicht bieten kann.

6. Ein Aufruf zur Verantwortung und Ehrlichkeit

Die Zukunft gehört denen, die bereit sind, die Wahrheit zu erkennen und Verantwortung zu übernehmen. In einer Welt, die von rasanten Veränderungen und globalen Krisen geprägt ist, müssen wir als Gesellschaft zusammenarbeiten, um die dringenden Probleme anzupacken. Die Linke, obwohl sie ihre Fehler hat, bietet die ehrlichste Möglichkeit, den Herausforderungen gerecht zu werden, die uns alle betreffen. Ein radikaler Wandel hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit, Gerechtigkeit und Freiheit ist die einzige Möglichkeit, die Zukunft zu sichern.

Anachron's Schlussfolgerung:

Der Status quo ist keine Option.
Ehrlichkeit ist der Schlüssel zur Lösung der großen Probleme dieser Welt.
Veränderung ist unumgänglich, und die Zukunft gehört denen, die sich dieser Herausforderung stellen.

Anachron's (My partner) political manifesto
I know, I actually wanted to hold back on political statements for the time being, but this has to be said now.
1. The need for change

The world is undergoing radical change. The political, social and environmental challenges are massive and pressing, especially with regard to the climate crisis and global inequality. Given these circumstances, I believe it is illusory and harmful to rely on the status quo. The center of the political landscape, which often advocates the preservation of the status quo, cannot offer a solution because it does not recognize the real, profound problems of our time and does not pursue effective, bold solutions.

2. The position of the center: illusion of stagnation

The center seeks to preserve the existence of institutions and structures without acknowledging the profound changes necessary to keep pace with the challenges of the 21st century. The fear of change leads to delayed action that leads us into dangerous stagnation. However, the world's problems are too pressing to rely on a comfortable but ultimately inadequate adaptation. Business as usual is an attitude that will lead the world into the abyss.

3. The Right: Ignorance and Selfishness

The right-wing of politics not only denies the obvious problems such as climate change and social injustice, but often does so against its better judgment. Its selfish populist agenda is focused on short-term political gains that endanger long-term prosperity and survival. The "after me the deluge" attitude is a dangerous, short-sighted ideology that puts the existence of the general public at risk to secure the luxury and power of a privileged minority.

4. The Left: Honesty and Responsibility

The left-wing of politics takes the pressing challenges seriously and strives to actively address them. It calls for profound societal changes to ensure social justice, sustainability and climate protection. This position is not only more honest, but also forward-looking, as it seeks realistic solutions to our problems. There are no easy answers, but the honesty with which these questions are addressed is a strength.
However, the danger of extremism must not be underestimated. A violent revolution or utopian, radical solutions would only lead to chaos and destruction and would not solve the existing problems. The path of the left must continue to be rational, inclusive and peaceful, without slipping into extreme ideologies.

5. The failure of conservatives: Neglecting the future

The conservative desire to preserve the status quo is ultimately unrealistic and dangerous. In a world that is changing dramatically, conservative approaches that emphasize "preserving the status quo" are a step backwards, not a solution. The challenges of climate change, technological upheaval and social inequality require a determined, forward-looking and flexible approach that conservatism cannot offer.

6. A call for responsibility and honesty

The future belongs to those who are willing to face the truth and take responsibility. In a world marked by rapid change and global crises, we must work together as a society to tackle the pressing problems. The left, although it has its faults, offers the most honest way to meet the challenges that affect us all. A radical change towards greater sustainability, justice and freedom is the only way to secure the future.

Anachron's conclusion:

The status quo is not an option.
Honesty is the key to solving the world's big problems.
Change is inevitable, and the future belongs to those who rise to the challenge.

Totally agree. :-)

Hey guys, I have some exciting great news about the E Grid, and some semi-bad news. Well it isn't really bad as such, more of a heads up.

So the semi bad first: From the 11th to the 24th of March, the Grid will be completely down, as we install and work on upgrading new regions and doing massive multiple backups. They are BIG backups, and it can't do them correctly with the grid running, sadly.

As you already see, Builds Ahoy seems down for the most, due to the crash at Osgrid.

We are backing up and then backing up again.

The good news:

We're going to be back fully, with most or all of our former regions. We have a new Server situation and its going to allow us to do this.

I will be adding lands today here, bear in mind most will be up 24/7 but not all. We have a good amount of large lands, and in order to do this, at times a few will be offline. Again please remember we'll be down totally 11th to 24th this month. We're doing this to safeguard ALL our assets in multiple places.

Have a great day and please bear with me as we bring back E Grid fully :)

all bits are to be covered

Remember back about 7 months ago, when Pagane and I told you all that Firestorm viewer was messing up the asset databases? Many called us liars. We even found the text and I copied and pasted it directly from the firestorm website that says this is true... https://opensimworld.com/post/112006 You can see it all in that original post above ^ Well now the situation has gotten so bad that users are starting to notice. Grids are starting to fall. etc. etc. Pagane works in her own business. One of the unique things she did is make a cacheless implementation of opensimulator. It was because of this that she stumbled across this problem the instant she upgraded her viewer above 6.6.14 as any viewer above that number has had some commits made that alter the way the data is read/written from the database. Again, remember, please, that firestorm ADMITS this on their own site. So for those of you who listened to us, enjoy your grid. To those who did not listen to us, enjoy your rebuild.
Note: because of Paganes cacheless implementation, when she upgraded her viewer to 6.6.16 she instantly saw her database getting destroyed instantly on the screen in front of her. Repair database, go back to 6.6.14 everything works. ok so far so good. reinstall 6.6.16 - boom database destroyed again. Repeat these steps, this time install 6.6.17 same problem - boom database crashes instantly. This has continued happening all the way up to the 7.x series.
Maybe the firestorm people need a cacheless version of opensim like Pagane has so they can INSTANTLY see the damage being done rather than letting it build up stealthily in the cache for long periods, so they would know what is going on?

Reposting this as it is an important fix any grid can and should run. There is a patch in core Opensimulator code as of 2/15 to allow outfits to load correctly without breaking links. This has been a bug forever, and was caused by loading IARs. For the those grids that do not use core's latest 0.9.3.1 dev (PBR), I have SQL for grid owners to fix their broken links in outfits. DreamGrid has this patch for future uploads, and also will run this SQL to repair all old outfits. You need do nothing except update to the latest DreamGrid 6.02 (Non PBR) or 7.02 (PBR). DreamGrid will automatically fix old as well as IAR uploads, even in V6 series which is Opensim 0.9.2 ( Non PBR )

Mysql SQL code is this:
use robust; //with whatever your database is. For standalones it may be 'opensim' as there is no robust.
show databases; // will show you which databases you have and their names.

use robust;
update inventoryfolders set type = 47 where foldername='My Outfits' and type = -1;

This fixes all old links. You need the patched Opensim to fix future links, OR you can run this again after loading an IAR. You do not have to do this, links can be fixed in the viewer but it's a tad tedious.

Grids will need to compile dev master from Feb 15 or later to make this automatic fix when loading of IARS. If you can't do that, just run this SQL after any IAR load.

Please be aware you should backup your robust database first, just in case. The details for coders is at http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=9180

Hi There :D

We are the Savannah Sister's & we would like to tell you a little bit about Wolf Territories today.

We've been talking up a storm with Bobby our very own personlized AI!

Bobby is available to talk with anyone who desires all types of information, Especially about Wolf Territories!

If you own your own region, you can own your very own Bobby!

Bobby! Only available on Wolf Territories Grid! :D

We asked Bobby to give us some interesting facts about Wolf Territories Grid and he gave us lots of information.
Here is the first & formost one! :D

Besides the popular regions, there are hidden gems like the Sci-Fi regions in the east, which include Europa—a must-visit for any sci-fi enthusiast.

Europa is owned, built & run by the ever so loved & popular Jimmy Olsen!

Not only has he built this massive sci fi region but he's also built our new Welcome Center that's hardly 2 monthsold yet, and we are so close to becoming #1on OSW, with only a few more votes needed to get there! :D

That's penominal, to say the least!

Won't you kindly help us out in getting some more votes?
We so appreciate & enjoy the company of everyone that comes to visit Wolf Territories Grid! We will always have something new & different to offer you!

The grid hosts a wide range of events, from spiritual gatherings at SoulRising over on Wolf Mountain to lively music sessions at Tropical Illusions where the mastermind of muzik, DJ Illusions plays his own music that he produces & composes on his own! There’s something for everyone!

One more fun & oh so important fact about our never ending growing grid is this:

The grid was started by Lone Wolf in 2020 and has since grown into a vibrant community, with Lone Wolf often being showered with ‘Wolf Snacks’ for his contributions.

Lone Wolf is the one person that's been keeping this grid on it's toes. Lone works tirelessly making Wolf Territories Grid run smoothly & efficiently. Lone is gifted with a superb mind in the technical area. So of course Lone is in the perfect positon to manage this ever growing grid. The more people that become members here, the more servers he buys to keep our Wolf Territories Grid running & kept in top notch condition! :D

The Savannah Sisters will be back again to give you more of Bobby's knowledgable fun & interesting facts about this fun loving grid that we all so adore! :D

CIAO 4 NOW!
