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!

If you care to give us a vote, here is the link below:

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

We just ordered another server! This one is for our third object storage in our own cluster. We'll be using minio to store over 7.2 million assets. https://www.wolf-grid.com/
Our Object storage is built to fail over and write live to all of them at once.

Well they are cruel to me. As you can see here Ferdzee says I should kill myself. First of all, I never said I was going to kill myself. Second of all, I would never do that to someone as wonderful and awesome as I am... What are you mad?

It is so sad to see osgrid deleting their entire database of assets. I imagine much will be lost and never seen again from people who haven't logged in for a while. I heard they are starting from scratch. So sad to see their asset database in such a terrible disarray that they had to throw the ENTIRE THING into the rubbish bin. Databases are fickle beings... They don't appreciate drama... hehehe...

We have developed a tool that can bulk create and load regions from oar files by the customer filling in a simple spreadsheet if anyone needs assistance. We moved 87 regions to Wolf Grid yesterday. Our assets are stored in Object Storage which is spread across multiple servers and locations. We maintain 2 live backups of the assets at any time. If it gets low on space we just buy more space.

We are offering free migration for the next month.

to participate it's simple. you must be the creator of the object and give it full perm.
the region is provided to us by hyacinthe admin of https://groovyverse.com/.
you need the group to rez.

there is no desire for competition or even provocation.
let's say that it is the product of amateur creators but in a less standardized way

The recent "knicker twist" (a *very* ugly and overly dismissive way to blow off what I read as being well-thought out and reasonable points raised by Marianna) does bring up a couple of questions:

Are there amateur builders left in Opensim?
It would be useful to define "amateur" -what do we mean by that term? Myself, I mean "self-taught", someone who has not been to art school or taken formal (not counting Builder's Brewery etc) courses on building. Other people may have different definitions -let's hear them.

It would also be useful to define "builder". When I say 'builder' I mean someone who makes creations with prims or mesh (Blender). (I'm excluding scripting, that's programming.) I'm aware that others define it in such a way as to refer to making modifications on pre-fab/pre-made mesh. Basically a "modder". In my mind it's a valid thing but it's different than building.

But language shifts and definitions change, "hacker" used to mean "someone who comes up with clever approaches to computer problems or design" -but for roughly 30 years it's been used to refer to people who break into computer systems and/or write viruses. As I say -definitions change.

So how do we define "builder" now? What constitutes "building"?

I can only think of a small handful of builders in the sense of making something from nothing, there's a larger pool of people who modify pre-made content -and unless I'm mistaken Marianna and Luna Luneria do a mix of both. Again, one isn't better than the other and both are forms of creative expression. But they are different.

The point of all this is to assess *need.* Do we need an organization? By "we" I am referring to "amateurs", I'm not referring to AuroraAsteria's group.

Moreover with the extremely low user numbers of Opensim would there be a point to creating an organization (beyond a collection of friends -I mean, if you already know each other knock yourselves out)?

I suspect -and have for years, that any such group would wither on the vine from lack of interest. Otherwise I'd be trying to start something myself.

I reserve the right to delete obnoxious comments and lock the comments entirely if it looks like they're going to simply be a shit-show. Show me that you *can* adult, OSW. Don't post insults (I'll delete them), paranoid rants (I'll delete them), off-topic diatribes about how somebody done somebody wrong songs (again -will delete). If there's a question about what the topic is intended to be -ask.

Make this a pain in my ass and I'll delete everything and lock the comments.

The Funsize Dinkies World Resort enjoyed a wonderful 2024, full of fun and memorable experiences. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and looking forward to another exciting year of adventures and joy at the resort!
