Bad Event Idea #377: Fastest in Poofing

Winner is who disappears from the party the most quickly after announcing their departure and saying goodbye to everyone. Bonus points for the most people bidding them farewell after they've poofed.

One night, I dreamt I stood at the river's edge in a canyon gorge. Terraced along the cliffs were abundant cherry trees, their branches cascading down towards the water. This place is the embodiment of that dream. We observe Hanami here. @FredBeckhusen/Ferd Frederix has added his magic touch throughout this region, thank you Ferd! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

Aretuza on the planet Amasango is designed to be fandom RP for fans of "The Witcher" and beyond. Set in an alternate dimension or universe it follows the adventures of Garalt, Yennifer, Tissaia and others as they adjust to their new surroundings after they "die" in their original universe. This has the potential to be some really great and fun RP for serious role players who don't need a lot of "props" and are good at descriptions and textual RP as well as visual RP. Just contact me if you're interested.

After over 20 years working and socialising in various virtual communities and meta-verses before the phrase was even coined mainly in Second Life a popular 3D virtual platform. Around five years ago I became a little disenchanted. I had had many great times within SL however over the years it had changed and not all for the good. More and more I was finding people were getting hurt by people who just seems like they wanted to brush their egos and create drama. Many of these people had reported the issues even major breaches of the SL Terms of service to little avail. Even report of illegal activity and paedophiles seem to draw little response. I became to realise that SL had moved away from the community focus platform that it once was and now seems more concerned with making money for share holders than its users,

This led me to looking for alternative platforms and I search through many many words many of them seemed abandoned some amazing features but lacking users. Others seems predominantly populated by teenagers. On a few worlds i had hope and reached out to the owners to ask them what it was they where trying to do. The answers on most where disheartening they either had little long term focus or were simply trying to grab a market share of the meta verse community to make money.

I had even considered opening my own world although had decided that in the current financial climate it was a huge risk. Then a friend asked me to check out avatarlife. Now i had been to avatar-life briefly before and made a mental note that it did show promise but had forgotten to go back. So I signed up an account and soon after met the owner and his right hand lady. They seemed open and very honest people I asked about what they wanted from the world (or grid as its known on that platform). The answers impressed me especially when it turned out they were focused on building communities and giving their users the freedom to build there one communities and create.

Had i found a new home time would tell.

I was offered free land and well felt special and welcome then discovered id missed the sign tell any one they can have a free parcel few small stipulations i noted was that it was one per ip and there were basic rules to reduce lag, so a nice offer and well thought out things where looking up.

Time to see what else was here i was directed to several free shopping outlets bodys, head, clothes, skins, houses, furniture, landscaping all available for free. Awesome I did note that many of these were very similar to items i knew well from sl and some where exact copies. So something to ask about its bot uncommon on the open grid network but I wanted to know.

Then I almost literally bumped into one of my online nice, me and her mother had been firm friends year earlier and ha d adopted each other. I hadn’t seen her in years so we sat and chatted and caught up(it made me feel very old ). She mentioned that the grid had helpers people who were volunteers to offer support to new people. I thought oh ok I can do that and applied went through an interview and was hired.

Had i found a new home began too look like a maybe.

I reached out to the online family to ask them to come check it out and give me their opinions the were amazed. Then it came to them getting there free parcels the land i was on had three parcels free. One of the staff reached out to me and them and said well if we would like we could live next to each other which was kind of awesome. They also pointed out that if they had assigned them land elsewhere first then there would have been a fee to relocate. Again myself and the family were impressed they could have easily made money from this but instead wanted us happy we most definitely where.

Had we found a new home well almost certainly.

So I was talking to one of the head staff lady called angel and mentioned about the stuff i had found that was from SL. Her comments impressed me alot. She didn’t try to deny this but pointed out they had been brought in from another grid and were on that grid for free so were offered on avatar life for free. However if i knew any creators then to invite them and if any of there stuff had been copied they would remove it and replace it with the legitimate ones. This seems like a fair and reasonable solution. She also mentioned that one of the projects they had on was to replace the stuff with their own original content and as I had told her about being a former lecturer offered me the chance to run some blender classes in the campus. well im teach the clue is in the name.

Had i found a new home most definitely.

EVERYBODY LOVES - Collections of all kinds and here at the "Create A Scene Garden Center" in the Masala Al Kohav Mall, we're no different. We have a vast eclectic collection of statues, fountains, trees, shrubs, lawn and garden décor, bushes, flowers and water plants and gardens and there is plenty of original not found anywhere else items created by "me" just for YOU. Just added some new stuff this morning so pop in and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting 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...

UPDATE! internet is restored and so is the grid.

Hey everyone! Due to an internet outage at the data center where my servers are, the grid is offline. Hopefully they get it back up sometime today or soon.

Wieder ein gelungener Abend mit tollen Leuten.

Back to the Roots wurde ein voller Erfolg.
Die Zappelbude wieder an ihrem angestammten Platz, im Hafengebiet.
Frau S.O. wieder auf ihrem Tresen.
Der Ruf wieder hergestellt.
Ich habe neue Leuten kennengelernt, eine Freundin ist endlich Rentner und hat nun Zeit bis in die Puppen.
Also alles wie es sein muss.
Danke für euren Besuch und den Spaß den wir wieder hatten.
Hier die Fotos. > https://bit.ly/4dGvdl8

Is there anyway to stop items expiring when taken into your inventory at all? I know that it is part of the system and can combat copying of items but is there a way for it not to happen? Also is there a way to stop crops etc from dying? Thank you!

I have someone who is looking for this item. If someone can help me out with this, I would appreciate that! TY ;)
moonshine still or the moonshine recipe. It's for the Satyr, Quintonia, Vivo Farming System. THANKS A BUNCH! ;)

IN THE BEGINNING . . . SIX

These pics were taken inside of Gram Z's Vintage Country Barn which I obtained from Lavia Lavine's region https://opensimworld.com/add/?t=&pid=92358&ptype=10! This is an awesome barn! I fell in love with it the moment that I saw it. Lavia has so many useful items on her region(s) which are a must see.

I know I have two pics the same here but I do not see where to delete them, so I will delete the one pic at a future time.

IN THE BEGINNING . . .

I am going to be using items from around open sim for the VivoSim system which used to be Satyr Farms, then Quintonia Farm System. You can still intertwine the Satyr & Quintonia with VivoSim System as they are founded from the original Satyr. I am going to be making add On's for this system to enhance it. I will be giving the products that I make away for free.

Buzzy encourages us to modify the items to enhance it. My goal is to have the biggest farm in Open Sim.

This is JUST the beginning!

I do hope that you will come to my region to visit & give some constructive criticism about what I can do to enhance my ever growing farm. There will be suggestion boxes throughout my region.

Thank You for reading this! ;)
