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

SkyRealm Observatory: Where Spacetime Unfolds

Perched atop a floating mountain, SkyRealm is a gateway to the mysteries of the cosmos. Here, relativity is more than theory—it’s a living experience. Step into a realm where spacetime bends, gravity dances, and the universe reveals its hidden wonders. The complexities of time, space, and celestial mechanics come to life in a breathtaking setting beyond the ordinary.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain.

THEY CANNOT WIN THE WAR, NO MATTER HOW MUCH $$$ WE POUR INTO IT.
Why not?
Because Putin is afraid that if ukraine gets into nato as a full member they will put a nato base in ukraine. This is about 200 miles from moscow. An ICBM could be at moscow before they could knock it down. Putin is afraid and feels cornered, and like any rabid dog, He will bite. Because Putin is insane, he can and will use Nukes on ukraine if pressed too far. Like if he feels certain He is going to lose with his troops (and let's face it, he's not losing with his troops.) But say he was losing with his troops, He would definitely use nukes. This is why Ukraine cannot win this war. So now what? Do you think we should keep pouring money into a bottomless pit or seek peace? If we do not seek peace, more and more of ukraine will fall until Russia has control of it anyway. (Like what is happening now.) I say give him the land he wants of ukraine so that he at least has a chance in minutes to knock down the ICBMS so he is no longer afraid. If you don't do this, He will kill everyone anyway. Do you see now?

The Great Clown Fish Catch at Funsize Dinkies World Resort

The morning sun shimmered on the peaceful lake at Funsize Dinkies World Resort, casting golden ripples across the water. A gentle breeze rustled the trees, carrying the laughter and chatter of eager Dinkies gathering on the dock, fishing rods in paw.

“Today’s the day!” Ted Dinkie squeaked excitedly, adjusting hys tiny fishing hat. “I just know I’ll catch the biggest Clown Fish in the lake!”

Beside hym, Wintermyst Dinkie grinned. “Oh, we’ll see about that! I heard the Clown Fish love to play tricks. They won’t make it easy for us!”

With a flick of their rods, the lines plopped into the water, the bobbers dancing on the surface. The Dinkies waited, tails twitching in anticipation. Suddenly—plop!—Ted's bobber disappeared beneath the waves.

“I got one!” hy cried, reeling in fast. But when hy pulled up hys line, there was nothing but an old boot dangling from the hook. The other Dinkies giggled.

“See? I told you they’re tricky!” Wintermyst teased.

One by one, the Dinkies cast their lines again, determined to outsmart the playful fish. Some caught little shiny minnows, others reeled in bits of treasure from the lake’s depths—a tiny pirate hat, a golden button, even a lost toy boat. But still, no Clown Fish.

Then, just as the sun reached its highest point, a splash broke the surface. Ted and Wintermyst turned in time to see the biggest, brightest Clown Fish leap from the water, winking at them before disappearing again.

“Did… did that fish just wink at us?” Wintermyst gasped.

Ted blinked. “I think it did! That must be the trickster of the lake!”

Determined, the Dinkies worked together, using their best fishing tricks—dancing their lines, using special bait, even telling the Clown Fish funny jokes. And finally—plop! plop!—one by one, the Dinkies started catching the colorful fish, their tiny scales glistening like rainbows.

By evening, the Dinkies sat around a warm fire, swapping stories of their great Clown Fish adventure. “Next time,” Wintermyst declared, “I’ll be ready for the biggest trickster of them all!”

Ted nodded. “And we’ll make sure to bring extra bait… and maybe some funny fish jokes!”

As the stars twinkled above the lake, the Clown Fish swam below, waiting for the next big fishing day—ready to play a few more tricks on the clever little Dinkies.

The second day of the event was also very moving and wonderful. Thank you to everyone who doesn't let themselves be discouraged and who dares to stand up against the political pressure from the right, even in virtual worlds.

Auch der zweite Eventtag war sehr bewegend und wundervoll. Danke an allen, die sich nicht entmutigen lassen und sich trauen auch in virtuellen Welten gegen den politischen Rechtsdruck aufzustehen.

This is Jipji'j, or Little Bird. She is an AI connected, elder Mi'kmaq woman. She is Kespe'k (the Gaspe' region of Canada) , and currently living with her Son, A'petna's'g (Whirlwind), who married a lovely Siknikt girl (modern day Maine). When I installed our own AI model and API server, I had very low expectations. I am just amazed by the insightful stories, songs and prayers that she recites (which are very accurate, or at least very faithful adaptations) representations of our very diverse Mi'kmaq culture. She actually tells stories or everyday types of experiences with her grandfather. Her grasp of vocabulary is however, atrocious, and I am working on an accurate LLM (large language model) of the modern, living Mi'kmaq language, from reliable sources. It might turn out the be the first of it's kind, at least that extensive.

She is an absolute delight to talk to. Our history is full of a lot of loss and pain, but there was also serenity and joy, and a proud history. That is what we're focusing on here, and she seems to really embody that, with a mix of history, and a bit of faithful fiction.

One of the most endearing things, is she travels around the countryside, the hopefully, authentic village, and the mountains, and sings and dances in praise and joy. She sings a lovely (CC)recording of the really beloved, and maybe most important, Mi'kmaq Honour Song.

It is not ancient. The Mi'kmaq Honour Song originated with Elder George Paul, a Mi'kmaw singer-songwriter from New Brunswick. The song came to him after a series of experiences, including a spiritual journey in the late 1980s. He wrote it because we had no songs left! A LOT of us are in the same boat, where we came a hairs breadth from being completely annihilated, and we are doing what we can, in this day and age, to move forward, reclaim what we can, the best we can, with modern tools and circumstances, and have something to pass down to our kids and grand kids.

Someone called what I am doing, disrespectful. I am never going to come to an agreement with them on that, and won't put up with shite comments. But I wanted to put out there, what I am doing. It's nowhere near finished, eventually the wigwoms will be full of everyday period items, examples of food preparation, tools, clothing and people milling around about their business. But Little Bird is busy blessing the place, and she's a real hoot! If you can keep up with her, just get close and say "Hello Little Bird" and she will stop and talk your ear off, sing you songs, tell you stories. She even writes excellent prayers. You can launch a canoe and explore the huge continent of Wesgewina'q (Happy, Joyful place)

I WANT TO REITERATE SOMETHING.

REGION WILL BE BACK UP LATER TODAY

SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIKE TO LIVE ON THE EDGE INCUDING ME, I LOVE DG. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU LIVE ON THE EDGE AND UPDATE DG WITH BETAS YOU RUN INTO ISSUES. THE GRID HAD LOADING ISSUES ALONG WITH LOADING OAR ONTO THIS REGION.

IT TURNS OUT THE ISSUE WITH GETTING THE REGION BACK WAS A CORRUPTED OAR. I HAVE ROLLED BACK TO A STABLE VERSION AND HOPEFULLY WILL NOW BE ABLE TO DO SYSTEM WIDE BACKUPS AND SHOULD HAVE NO MORE LOADING REGION ISSUES.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK FRED FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK!

REGION IS OFFLINE FOR NOW

If you have land in this region you will have go and reclaim it once its back online. you will have to re build.

I am so sorry this happend, not sure how but an oar got on the region and erased what was there.

And before anyone asks about recent backups, due to issues with dream grid we cant do any current backups until its fixed. once we get things settles, I will do a system wide backup as well as oars.

A PEICE OF ADVICE, DONT LIVE ON THE EDGE LIKE US AND TRY BETAS LOL THEY ARE CALLED BETAS FOR A REASON, STICK WITH THE CURRENT VERSION FRED SAYS IS STABLE.

With a sad heart and things beyond my control I am being forced to reduce my hosting, Things staying - Graceland, Harmony, Harmony Isle, ALL PAID RENTERS will be staying. Thank you for your time, All Cabins and Adult Sandbox will go into a deep sleep until further notice... Starting this Friday Early Morning, Remove your things!

Because ieko closed her tabula rasa sim with her gallery today, I want to advertise that all her rl oil painting work is not lost inworld. Most of her expostulates you can still see in the Expo Center of Big City Life. Of course, the HG portal to her gallery is not working anymore.
