ALL HOPESTONE ATTRACTIONS HAVE MOVED!
NEW GRID: http://hg.CarnivaleGrid.com:8002/Magicland

To All Our Magicland Dreamers,

Howdy folks! Mickey Mouse here with news so big, it’s bigger-on-the-inside!

After almost 4 magical years in Neverworld, we’re moving Magicland to the all-new Carnivale Grid – and we’ve traveling like well, not quite royalty, but Time Lords! The Doctor has agreed to transport us and the entire park in their nifty contraption they call a “T.A.R.D.I.S.”.

(That’s short for “Totally Awesome Ride Distributing Infinite Surprises” – or so the Doctor tells me while doing that thing where they wave their glowing screwdriver at the parking meters. Long story.)

This magical blue box can fit:

All 30 Roller Coasters & Theme Rides (currently occupying the zero-gravity disco room)
All 14 Magical Light Parade Floats (the horses graciously agreed to wear diapers for the trip)
Every last churro stand (now accidentally time-locked to stay eternally crispy)
That singing topiary that gets really excited when Donald rants…. (he won’t leave without it)
Minnie’s entire shoe collection (they all look the same to me, but apparently “that one” is special)
Every last ounce of Magicland magic (can’t leave that behind!)
And still have room for Goofy’s “experimental” jellybean cannon!
Small print: May cause temporary time loops when Donald argues with the console. Not responsible for unexpected visits from Victorian-era carousel horses.

Set your watches for… actually nevermind, the Doctor says time is “wibbly” right now. Just meet us at Carnivale for the grand reopening – we’ll announce the date when we land! There will be games, prizes, movies and more!

Stay tuned folks & NEVER stop dreaming!

Your pal,
Mickey Mouse
Magicland Head Dreamer & Honorary Time Traveler

P.S. The Doctor says to remind everyone: DON’T TOUCH THE BLINKING BUTTONS. Especially the one that looks like a “multidimensional anti-temporal red or sometimes magenta jellybean”. Anyone know what a “multidimensional anti-temporal jellybean” looks like? Apparently that one’s important.

P.P.S. The Doctor let me take a brief glance into Magicland’s future, and I didn’t get to see much (spoilers, darling!) but I did see that the park is getting yet another full region expansion! It seems to be called “Tomorrowland” – I wonder what that’s about? There was also something about a “Sillyville”? Huh! Exciting times ahead it seems! Stay tuned!

Promote Your Shop In Our Group
With 151 members, the "What Are You Looking For?" group is the largest and most active in OSW. As you might expect, there are more people looking for stuff than there are people helping them find it. We have a relatively small core group of people helping people find what they are looking for. And when these dedicated helpers do that, they are promoting your shop, if you have one, as a place to get that stuff.

So, if you have a shop, consider being a helper in the "What Are You Looking For?" group. You'd be promoting your shop as a place to find stuff people are looking for. Not that I'm asking for you to spam the group by advertising your shop in a way that is unrelated to a specific request. What I am suggesting is that you take a look at the posts in the "What Are You Looking For?" group whenever you are on OSW. See if you can help someone find the specific thing they are looking for. And, in the spirit of "sharing is caring", you can also help people find stuff in other shops if you don't have it. That's going to earn you double plus bonus points.

If you are already a helper in the "What Are You Looking For?" group, thank you. And if you are not? Well, that's just plain silly. Join us. Be a helper. If you can answer someone's request by directing them to your shop... Well, that's a big plus for everyone.

I have debated bringing this masterpiece to the library...not that there is anything wrong with it...I think it is one of the greatest love stories of all time. I used to watch the movie at least once per year. But around 2017, my father started showing signs of dementia...vascular dementia, to be exact. Mini strokes that robbed him of more and more, until they took his life in 2020. Took me a few years to even grieve...I suppose because i had been bracing for the inevitable for about 3 years. So around 2023 or so, I finally allowed myself to rewatch the movie for this book (yes, i think it does it justice)...well, the tears finally came pouring out of me, like rain in a Sparks novel/movie. ;)

Anyways, this is an amazing novel, it will likely tug on your heart strings, if it has not already. For those few of you unfamiliar with the book nor the movie, I normally suggest watching movie versions first; I find they help me visualize the book better, I also find that a book can rarely disappoint and be less descriptive than a movie; but sometimes if we read the book 1st, we may be disappointed if the movie leaves something out, or portrays something different than we pictured or understood it. I won't give any spoilers; y'all can ordain what you wish based on what I said thus far. But, anyone who has not read this nor seen the movie...you are Truly missing out on something very special. Enjoy!

And now a change of pace from so many "classic" novels, as we branch into more genres and tastes...a personal favorite of mine is welcomed to the Homelandz Public Library...American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis!

American Psycho is a black comedy horror novel by American writer Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first-person by Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, narcissistic, and vain Manhattan investment banker who lives a double life as a serial killer. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while "some countries [deem it] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities".

A film adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. Producers David Johnson and Jesse Singer developed a musical adaptation for Broadway. The musical premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in December 2013.

The book has garnered notoriety for its graphic violence and has led to it being censored in multiple countries.

Rappel !!!! Prochaine réunion de préparation de la chasse au trésor intergrid, Samedi 7 Juin 21h00 à l'accueil de BloodMoon . En attendant voici le compte rendu de la dernière réunion pris en note par Ladyka:
----------------Réunion Préparation Chasse au trésor - Jeu de piste - Le vendredi 23 mai 2025 - 21h ------------------

Principe(s) retenu(s) :
- passer obligatoirement par toutes les régions ou grilles engagées

Idées / suggestions / questions :

- Découvrir un code ? résoudre des énigmes permettrait d'obtenir un bout du code ; à la fin, celui qui détient l'ensemble du code obtient "quelque chose" mais quoi ? -> Lot(s) à définir (tenir compte qu'il peut y avoir plusieurs gagnants)
- Faire le parcours soit selon un ordre alphabétique des régions ? A priori, option non retenue puisque pour découvrir le code, ordre alphabétique pas forcément nécessaire, il faut obligatoirement être passé sur toutes les régions participant.

ARRIVEE
- Quel lieu d'arrivée ? Proposition : un lieu qui serait le résultat d'un travail collectif/collaboratif ? Cela impliquerait de Builder une région spécifique. Les échanges ne penchent pas pour cette option, plutôt utiliser une ou des régions existantes.

DEPART
- Quel lieu de départ ?
- Lister les informations à fournir au départ (conditions de réalisation, règles du jeu/règlement, etc.
- Soigner le départ en le rendant motivant, stimulant

ENIGMES
- Quelles énigmes ? Un parcours constitué d'étapes comportant des énigmes d'une difficulté croissante ?
- L'énigme devrait être en lien avec la région ou la grille visitée, elle doit également impliquer de visiter ou se déplacer dans la région.
- L'énigme ou les énigmes seront cachées dans un ou des "objets". Elles doivent permettre d'obtenir un bout de "code" / une "clé.

DIVERS / FONCTIONNEMENT
- "Objets" communs à toutes les grilles ?
- Un clic sur l' "objet" ouvre une notecard (comportant l'énigme, un bout d'histoire, l'étape suivante, etc.)
- Possibilité de faire intervenir un NPC (ex un ancien alchimiste) et/ou d'utiliser un panneau commun (texte ou "audio") qui serai(en)t présents à chaque étape.
- Il est important de prévoir d'indiquer au participant l'étape suivante.
- Chaque grille ou région participant à la chasse au trésor devrait être libre d'organiser ce que doit faire le participant mais en tenant compte d'un fil conducteur entre chaque étapes du jeu. Cela implique de tenir compte de l'étape précédente.
- Concernant le *fil conducteur* : une histoire (ex : sur les traces d'un voyageur)
- Chasse au trésor ou jeu de piste entre grilles francophones mais ouvert(e) aux autres langues.
- Quel scenario

Questions en suspens :
Comment le participant propose sa réponse et comment obtient-il le bout de code ?
Si le participant pense avoir trouvé, que doit-il faire ? Envisage-t-on la possibilité de fournir une réponse dans tous les cas (y compris une réponse fausse) ? ou ne fournir un code que lorsque la réponse est juste ?
=> à définir en commun


----------------- Fin de la réunion 22h33 ---------------

Echanges informels après la réunion
- Le fil conducteur et/ou le règlement devraient faire référence au monde francophone
- Minord propose de s'inspirer de l'exercice du texte à plusieurs mains : chaque grille participant au jeu reçoit le texte de la région précédente et rédige sa partie en faisant évoluer l'histoire. La grille transmet l'ensemble à la suivante qui fera de même. Les régions ou grilles précédentes ne connaîtront pas la suite de l'histoire (et pourront donc également participer au jeu !)

-------------------Prochaine réunion : samedi 7 juin 21h Chez Vlad ----------------------

Island of the Blue Dolphins is a 1960 children's novel by American author Scott O'Dell, which tells the story of a girl named Karana, who is stranded alone for years on an island off the California coast. It is based on the true story of Juana Maria, a Nicoleño Native American left alone for 18 years on San Nicolas Island during the nineteenth century.

Island of the Blue Dolphins won the Newbery Medal in 1961. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1964.


^This is a beloved novel from my childhood, and it still tells such an incredible tale worth re-reading, well into adulthood. These books and novels are arranged alphabetically, and the waypoint takes you right to the correct shelf. You won't likely land right at that shelf. You will need to paste it into your map a 2nd time, after landing at the region. Common words like "the" are ignored. for example, i put The Holy Bible under B for Bible, making it the 2nd shelf on the back of the first floor. i for Island is at the end of that same row. in the menu, the item is named IslandBlueDo because menu popups limit to 12 characters. These should be full perm so you can rename to its full name later if you wish. any perms issues i will fix asap. been super slammed trying to get so much done both rl and online. Please enjoy this and remember reading is fundamental! ;)

The Agartha grid is currently closed for maintenance.
We are working on improving the system to ensure a smoother and more fluid experience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Soon, a "digital relationship" with me will be possible*lol. Now I'm working on a project that will start with an "empty AI," which I'll gradually teach answers along with my idiosyncrasies. It can also use common models; it learns, and then it ends up in its belly. The primitive start—the baby has already passed its first test. From now on, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work for me.

Taking the Wattle fence a step further, I used some morning glories from T-Spot, some trees and bushes from Flora and some flowers I made as well as the fence and the bird house and created a pretty and relaxing summer scene to add to your region if you like. It is CMT, mesh and free. You can find it in the Garden department here at the mall.
Blessings and much love, Lavia
