The Phantom of the Forums


A shadow lurks with many a face,
A master of disguise, yet leaves no trace.
Posts appear like ghosts in the night,
Burying truth, dodging the light.
One name? Two? Perhaps even three—
A puppet dangles, yet claims to be free.
Echoing loudly, drowning the room,
Spreading division, sowing the gloom.
No regions to share, no art to create,
Just endless chatter, laced with hate.
Hijacking boards with a flick of the key,
Yet pretending to be part of "we."
But riddles unravel and masks grow thin,
A hollow voice cannot truly win.
For those who build, who craft, who dream,
Will always rise, while shadows scream.
So let the puppets dance and play,
Their tangled strings give them away.
We see, we know, and we stand tall—
Truth and creation outshine them all.

WATER RACE
the test phase of the water race has been completed for some time now and nothing stands in the way of holding a race there
now it's a matter of finding enough people who want to take part
how the whole thing will work is not yet certain but we won't make it as complicated as on the go-kart track :)
I don't have anything else to say at the moment, more information will follow as soon as we see that there is interest in a race
it won't work without practice, you should practice a bit beforehand :))

die testphase der water race ist schon länger abgeschlossen und es steht nichts mehr im wege dort ein rennen zu veranstalten
jetzt liegt es daran das wir auch genügend leute finden die daran teilnehmen möchten
wie das ganze ablaufen wird steht noch nicht fest aber wir werden es nicht so kompliziert machen wie auf der go-kart-bahn :)
mehr habe ich im augenblick nicht zu sagen weitere infos werden folgen sobald wir sehen das daran interesse besteht an einem rennen
so ganz ohne üben geht es aber nicht...... man sollte schon etwas üben vorher:))

Tipi Tacos Truck Freebie. I know, more food...lol. Tipi Tacos are an Indigenous fusion cuisine and very popular. Sometimes called "Indian Tacos", Navajo Tacos or Bannock Tacos. Open tacos made on bannock with all the fixings and very delicious. The Tipi Tacos truck is over by the gas station and free to copy/buy for 0 for anyone who wishes for one for their region. In the contents of the object are some separates. this build uses the old Airstream camper trailer from Arcadia Asylum as well as a cool generic soda fountain I found on sketchfab and some veggies:

Exciting changes are coming to Home and Gardens! Not only will we have stunning historical homes powered by Bullet physics, but an entire region showcasing some of the finest and freshest properties in the Ubode Physics realm. We've also given H&G Furniture a complete overhaul, with a wealth of brand-new items that will make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for.

All three regions will have their own dedicated beacons, so you can easily navigate to the areas that interest you most. This massive undertaking has been months in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil the new and improved Home and Gardens and H&G Furniture this Tuesday, March 4th at 9am grid time.

These homes are for your personal enjoyment only - no god-modding or unauthorized redistribution allowed. I work tirelessly for the people of the Open Sim, not for any individual grid. I can't wait for you all to experience the incredible transformation we've achieved!

ОПЪЛЧЕНЦИТЕ НА ШИПКА
11 август 1877

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipka_Monument

Нека носим йоще срама по челото,
синила от бича, следи от теглото;
нека спомен люти от дни на позор
да висне кат облак в наший кръгозор;
нека ни отрича исторйята, века,
нека е трагично името ни; нека
Беласица стара и новий Батак
в миналото наше фърлят своя мрак;
нека да ни сочат с присмехи обидни
счупенте окови и дирите стидни
по врата ни още от хомота стар;
нека таз свобода да ни бъде дар!
Нека. Но ний знаем, че в нашто недавно
свети нещо ново, има нещо славно,
що гордо разтупва нашите гърди
и в нас чувства силни, големи плоди;
защото там нейде навръх планината,
що небето синьо крепи с рамената,
издига се някой див, чутовен връх,
покрит с бели кости и със кървав мъх
на безсмъртен подвиг паметник огромен;
защото в Балкана има един спомен,
има едно име, що вечно живей
и в нашта исторья кат легенда грей,
едно име ново, голямо антично,
като Термопили славно, безгранично,
що отговор дава и смива срамът,
и на клеветата строшава зъбът.

О, Шипка!

Три деня младите дружини
как прохода бранят. Горските долини
трепетно повтарят на боя ревът.
Пристъпи ужасни! Дванайсетий път
гъсти орди лазят по урвата дива
и тела я стелят, и кръв я залива.
Бури подир бури! Рояк след рояк!
Сюлейман безумний сочи върха пак
и вика: "Търчете! Тамо са раите!"
И ордите тръгват с викове сърдити,
и "Аллах!" гръмовно въздуха разпра.
Върхът отговаря с други вик: ура!
И с нов дъжд куршуми, камъни и дървье;
дружините наши, оплискани с кърви,
пушкат и отблъскват, без сигнал, без ред,
всякой гледа само да бъде напред
и гърди геройски на смърт да изложи,
и един враг повеч мъртъв да положи.
Пушкалата екнат. Турците ревът,
насипи налитат и падат, и мрът; -
Идат като тигри, бягат като овци
и пак се зарвъщат; българи, орловци
кат лъвове тичат по страшний редут,
не сещат ни жега, ни жажда, ни труд.
Щурмът е отчаян, отпорът е лют.
Три дни веч се бият, но помощ не иде,
от никъде взорът надежда не види
и братските орли не фърчат към тях.
Нищо. Те ще паднат, но честно, без страх -
кат шъпа спартанци под сганта на Ксеркса.
Талазите идат; всичките нащрек са!
Последният напън вече е настал.
Тогава Столетов, наший генерал,
ревна гороломно: "Млади опълченци,
венчайте България с лаврови венци!
на вашата сила царят повери
прохода, войната и себе дори!"
При тез думи силни дружините горди
очакват геройски душманските орди
бесни и шумещи! О, геройски час!
Вълните намират канари тогаз,
патроните липсват, но волите траят,
щикът се пречупва - гърдите остаят
и сладката радост до крак да измрът
пред цяла вселена, на тоз славен рът,
с една смърт юнашка и с една победа.
"България цяла сега нази гледа,
тоя връх висок е: тя ще ни съзре,
ако би бегали: да мрем по-добре!"
Няма веч оръжье! Има хекатомба!
Всяко дърво меч е, всякой камък - бомба,
всяко нещо - удар, всяка душа - плам.
Камъне и дървье изчезнаха там.
"Грабайте телата!" - някой си изкряска
и трупове мъртви фръкнаха завчаска
кат демони черни над черний рояк,
катурят, струпалят като живи пак!
И турците тръпнат, друг път не видели
ведно да се бият живи и умрели,
и въздуха цепят със демонский вик.
Боят се обръща на смърт и на щик,
героите наши като скали твърди
желязото срещат с железни си гърди
и фърлят се с песни в свирепата сеч,
като виждат харно, че умират веч...
Но вълни по-нови от орди дивашки
гълтат, потопяват орляка юнашки...
Йоще миг - ще падне заветният хълм.
Изведнъж Радецки пристигна със гръм.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
И днес йощ Балканът, щом буря зафаща,
спомня тоз ден бурен, шуми и препраща
славата му дивна като някой ек
от урва на урва и от век на век!

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?

Help us kick off the month-long fair! All are welcome!

Hello I am Pixie. I am a < new oldie > or < old newbie > in Opensim. 😁
I was owner of < Pixel 3D > before I left Opensim a few years ago.
I am very happy to be back and thank everyone for the warm welcome. 😘A lot has changed while I've been away. I have to find my way around again. 🤔

Unfortunately, I can no longer manage to set up my own store. But I am planning a photo exhibition on the subject of “Original and fake - what would an Opensim snapshot look like in real life?”

The two pictures above are a first AI attempt with my profile picture.

At the moment I have returned to Kitely as a homeless person. Unfortunately, it's not worth having my own region as I can only spend very little time in Opensim. 😢 But maybe I'll move back to OSGrid when their technical issues are fixed.

I'm very excited about all the people I'll meet here in the future. 😊❤️😍
Have a nice evening.

hugs, Pixie
