The first tree avatar is ready. Size 1- she is about 12 feet tall. A statue is rezzed next to the box that shows her approximate size. Mesh that is bento animation responsive- some appearance sliders are disabled. Shape, alpha layer, prim branches, all can be squashed, stretched, tinted, etc. Upcoming sizes: small enough to be wifey for Groot, and more like a normal avatar size.

Have fun with her.

Other updates: front beaches have seating and the new sand is installed.

The Greenhouse near landing is one of the 4 Teleport Hub in Novale. Novale is a 4x4 var region and there is a lot to discover. Each hub contains teleport boards to reach many places and activities within Novale. They are precious help to navigate our winter.

Our good friend Thorvaldr Ragnarsson has joined our grid and plans to open a specialty shop called THORVALDR'S FORGE, where he will make his own builds available to all who would like them. His theme is primarily Norse in nature and he, like all of our builders here on the grid, wish to make our original builds free to all at our mall. As soon as he's ready to open his shop, we will make it available to the public but for now, it's just in the makings though it is COMING SOON!!!! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Learning about Game Development from the Nook Team at their #OSCC23 session Sunday 10 December at 10.30am PST
https://conference.opensimulator.org/2023/12/02/learning-a...

"We’ve developed a tool that lets creators tell animated stories or build in-world adventure games all running from a single script a visitor can activate. “
This can bring more life to your projects. It's going to be a fun session!

Check out our full Schedule here:

Welcome to the La Fountaine Hotel, the newest edition to Avedon Park. Come warm by the fire in our lobby after exploring the park, or check out the Piano Bar or our VIP Sky Lounge. For more privacy, check into one of the available suites. All are welcome and the hotel rules are posted clearly in the lobby. No magic allowed in the hotel and all deals made within the hotel must be honored! Enjoy your visit!

First things are avaliable...Cat avatars and a couple tree lady statues.
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Mythos/489/177/43

Cat avatars have my own self made original mesh bento head and home made skin.
It has a shape that makes the face look "purrfectly cattish".
The shape will look really freaky on your other mesh heads, but the cat mesh head and skin will look 100% fine with a more humanoid shape. SLUV and BOM. No mesh eyes- but system eyes work and other rigged mesh eyes will probably work.
Tail is bento-No AO included. Ears are static and can be tinted, retextured, squashed, stretched...

I have included a recent version of Ruth mesh avatar as a courtesy, with its normal head. Be aware the older versions of Ruth may conflict with the mesh head causing a "ghost head" to appear. Don't redistribute claiming yourself as creator(and tell people who made it when asked), don't put on SL or sell for money.

Statues are static mesh and prims, same perms apply. Sim has ongoing construction with signage, and a few ghost prims you may get stuck on. Be patient as we work out bugs!

This Friday, #OSCC23 will kick off! Please have a look at our compact schedule!

Bad Event Idea #34: Best in Bouncing on The Couch.
Find an interesting couch. Add "bouncing on the couch" animations. Bring the couch to the event and, well, bounce on your couch.

If you can't find "bouncing on the couch" animations, find an animation with a bouncing theme, like "bouncing on the ground after falling from a great height." Or just show up looking like this guy. People will want to bounce on you, making you the instant winner!

Bad Event Idea #35: Best In Babel
Phem kev tshwm sim lub tswv yim #35: zoo nyob rau hauv Babel

Siv Google Translate hloov koj cov lus rau hauv ib hom lus obscure thiab sib txuas lus siv cov nqe lus thaum cov kev tshwm sim.

Bad Event Idea #35: Best In Babel
Use Google Translate to change your words into an obscure language and communicate using only those phrases during the event.

Bad Event Idea #37: Best In Worst Sounds
Contestants must wear an attachment that continuously plays sounds of animals, insects, instruments, and people, like heavy breathing, snoring, sneezing, and screaming in agony because of too many sounds...

The winner is the person with sounds that most irritate people -- if there are any left at the end of the event.

Bad Event Idea #35: Best In Mug Shots
1. Turn yourself into law enforcement as a distributor, user or importer of copybot items.
2. Get arrested
3. Get a mug shot.
4. Use it as your profile picture.
5. Enter the "Best In Mug Shots" contest.

May the best mug win!

Bad Event Idea #18: Best In "Who You Hate On OSW And Why."
Come dance and rant about who you hate on OSW and why. The most hateful person at the event wins...something.

DJ Regurge will entertain with the most hated songs from bands like Bucket of Bile, Homicidal Retribution, and Wank For Peace.

Extra credit bonus points if the person you hate is at the event.

Bad Event Idea #1015: Best At Being Late To The Party
Showing up on time for a party can be awkward for the unprepared host, who generally expects guests to be "fashionably late". But worst of all is the guest who shows up raring to go just when the party is winding down. But being late to the "Best At Being Late To The Party" event is rewarded...maybe. Actually, the prize will go to some random person in OS who didn't show up at the party at all! What could be later than that!

Bad Event Idea #31: Best In Bad Halloween Pickup Lines
Halloween is a festival of flirtation and seduction. The Sexy Crash Test Dummy. The Sexy Chia Pet. The Sexy Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Sexy Illiterate Squirrel. They all attract the attention of hopefuls looking for a Halloween hook-up. Critical to the effort: a pick-up line.

The "Best In Bad Halloween Pickup Lines" event is simple. People enter the contest and use their Halloween-themed pick-up line. The targets vote for the person with the most crude, cringe-worthy, corny, and un-cute Halloween pickup line. The prize: a night with a Zombie NPC sexbot.

Bad Halloween pick-up line starter kit:

Skeleton: "Did you know there are 206 bones in the human body? Would you mind one more?"

Witch: "Don't worry, those warts on my face aren't anywhere else."

"Are you dressed up as a tree? Cause you’re giving me wood."

"Girl, you make my crotch rise from the dead."

"Mmm baby! You’re decomposing in ALL the right places!"

Bad Event Idea #67: The "Best In Sim Crash" event.
Did you know that we would not have OpenSim (OS) if not for a computer crash? The precursor to OS, Second Life (SL), was directly inspired by the cyberpunk classic Snow Crash. The name of the novel, says the author Neal Stephenson, was based on what he saw on the screen during a particular software failure mode on his Macintosh computer. "When the computer crashed and wrote gibberish into the bitmap, the result was something that looked vaguely like static on a broken television set—a 'snow crash.'"

In an unknowing homage to the very origins of the Metaverse, SL club hosts would encourage participants to invite their friends to an event, saying "let's crash this sim!" It is entirely fitting, then, to hold an event intentionally and unironically dedicated to the crash. Welcome to the "Best In Sim Crash" event. The contestant who comes up with the most creative way to crash the sim will win a lifetime supply of prim penises.
