Soirée Théâtre - Et l’œuf engendra la poule

| | Wolf Territories Grid: What could possibly go wrong.... I thought it would never end. 3 months ago |
Thank you all for your support. There are now six of us and hopefully more will join us over time. I think many are, very understandably wary and don't want to get dragged in to something they don't want to. But as I explained in introductory post on the front page, this group is simply about solidarity; standing together and supporting one another. Some of us will take on the fight, in the happy knowledge that there are others who think similarly.
I've just read the notorious Box on the front page. Apart from Pagane having another melt down, there are comments questioning the need for such a group. I can't be too hard on those people, but really they need to pull their head out of the sand. I don't wish to overstate things, but we are living in very dangerous times, the far-right mainstream political parties who are now gaining ground have been preparing for years, changing their image, softening their message and all the while attempting to persuade people to their cause, always ready to blame the 'illegal immigrant' the single-parent (usually a woman) poor people in general. That's just the start.
At the moment most of the comments in the box are dismissive and a little insulting to me, (I will not engage there) and at least one of them is revealing how well they did at Airhead Academy. That might sound cruel, but that person isn't really stupid (I hope) but they do rather overplay false equivalences and seem utterly incapable of seeing what is happening right in front of their eyes.

I can't be too hard on those people, but really they need to pull their head out of the sand. I don't wish to overstate things, but we are living in very dangerous times, the far-right mainstream political parties who are now gaining ground have been preparing for years, changing their image, softening their message and all the while attempting to persuade people to their cause, always ready to blame the 'illegal immigrant' the single-parent (usually a woman) poor people in general. That's just the start.

I've created a new group to show solidarity with anti-fascism and opposition to other hate groups and individuals. No heavy deal, you don't have to do anything to show your solidarity other than joining the group, and maybe, if you feel you can, displaying the logo on your region or in your club to show that hate groups and anyone associated with them are not welcome.
Obviously those who want to get a little more involved are more than welcome to do so, such as arranging events with a prominent anti-fascist message, even if it's only displaying the logo on promotional materials, to much more ambitious things such as art displays that highlight the dangers of the extreme-right.
To remove all doubt, fascists and their fellow-travellers, (Trumpists, Faragists, Lepenists etc are not welcome! Prospective members are vetted and are subject to approval, which means it's a safe space for the wary.
This isn't a political group, so you won't be bombarded with ideology, it's simply a group for those of us who share a similar belief, that all humans are worthy. I'll even go so far as to say that members should leave both their politics and their religion at the door, whilst anti-fascism is a political stance, it is one that crosses political boundaries. We don't even have to like each other to show solidarity, a point worth remembering.
************************************************************************************************************
Just a heads up. I strive to keep moderation light on comments to group posts, but obviously I will not tolerate intolerance or other comments that seek to denigrate other human beings in any way. Any such comments WILL be removed. Cogent and fair and relevant comment will be respected, even if not agreed with.
To anyone complaining that their rights to free speech have been violated, I point out to you that I am the moderator and it is me who decides what is allowed and what is not. If you wish to express an opinion that is contrary to the values of this group, you are free to do so, somewhere else.
Copies of the logo are available, as is an at present limited range of clothing with an ant--fascist message on it. Please ask me for copies, stating in the case of clothing, what avatar you use. Thank you.

The early morning sun paints the sky with warm, golden hues as it rises on the horizon. The gentle caress of the wind fills the sail of the boat, propelling it effortlessly over the calm and glistening water. It's a perfect start to the day, with the promise of adventure and tranquility ahead.
As you gaze out over the water, you're treated to a mesmerizing sight. Majestic whales breach the surface, their massive bodies breaking through the shimmering waves, and they emit powerful spouts of water as they exhale. Their playful antics in the water create a sense of wonder and awe, as if they are celebrating the new day's beginning.
Amongst the whales, elegant manta rays gracefully glide through the water, their wings undulating like ethereal dancers. They add a touch of grace and beauty to the scene, as if nature itself is putting on a spectacular show just for you.
It's a moment of pure serenity and connection with the natural world.

Hi Everyone,
My sincerest apologies for having disappeared for a little while. I was sorting out a few things in RL and in the middle of that picked up a viral infection that took a lot out of me.
I am slowly getting back into shape but a few things have changed for me personally which means I am not sure how it will affect my time at Friends, but I will start being around!
Mistress and I have had a good chat this evening and I will getting back on the grid more often.
My poor communication with Mistress will not be recurring and I would like to use this opportunity to publicly apologise for causing Her distress and upset. I thought I was doing the right thing by not burdening Her with my problems, but now see that was not the right thing to do.
If I have upset or offended anyone else with my absence I also apologise to you.
It has been a difficult time for me but I should have not let my problems affect others.
Sophie

Good morning all,
This morning I want to share a little insight to try and help your virtual life. My friend Linda had a very rough time recently and that breaks my heart. I want Linda and others enjoying their virtual time…. Not dealing with crashes….so I am going to offer some tips. This will be a long note…. But it is designed to help you enjoy your virtual life.
1. Understand that your virtual experience is composed of many factors including: Opensim, grid server, grid setup, region settings, parcel settings, your computer, your graphic card, your internet connection, your avi grid, your viewer, your viewer preferences, your clothing and or attachments and much more.
2. When there is an issue, I will often ask questions to help determine which variable might be affecting. Am I being defensive…. Noooo…… I am trying to be scientific and look past my own thoughts and biases to improve your virtual experience. When I ask many questions, it may seem like I am “grilling” you….. I apologize for that….I am simply trying to get enough details so I can make your virtual life better. I never try to put all blame on individual….it is shared between myself and individual. I do my best to try to make sure my side of things is correct.
3. There are two different types of crashes: Regular Crash and bug splat.
Bug splat - you receive the infamous bug splat message afterwards. This crash is caused by viewer issue 95% of the time. Things that can cause this: Cache, distance, quality and much more. The higher your quality and distance, the greater the chance of crash. In addition, many times mesh objects can also cause this. The solution…….. thoroughly clean cache like this:
Regular Crashes- this last Sunday we experienced a region crash. These are fairly rare and I am working to get answers and provide a stable environment. In this situation, everyone in a region crashes at once and there is no bug splat. I am terribly sorry and embarrassed for the crash yesterday! We will make things better! Will things be perfect, nooooo, this is Opensim. But I am committed to providing an exceptional stable infrastructure .
It appears that the crash Sunday was caused by a corrupt object (sailboat) being rezzed in our rezz zone. Innocent intentions, but it shut down the region for a few minutes.
4. Cross Grid- I made a decision that people can live here regardless of whether or not they have a friends grid avi. I did that because I do not want to play dictator and order people to have friends grid avi….even though I know it would help some issues.
I want to share a recent story that will help you understand how crazy cross grid can be. Serina and I went shopping at Lunaria on Wolf territory. The experience was the worst experience ever in Opensim. We had trouble moving…. The lag was ungodly. This was not my first time with a bad experience at Wolf.
I sent my friend Luna Lunaria a note…. Letting her know I wanted to be a customer but could not get around her region. Luna was horrified…. But also very supportive of Wolf territory extremely high speed. She told me she has never had issues like I described.
To her credit, Luna made a friends-grid account and then tried to visit Wolf territories. She could not move because the lag was sooooo bad. Wolf territory and ourselves are presently working on this issue. So far it appears to be in Wolfs settings.
I share this story with you all so you understand the complexity of cross grid. In this situation, our Avis worked fine on many other grids…..but not on that.
Cross grid could possibly be making your virtual life more complicated. Realize that with Cross grid, all your data has to be processed through two totally separate systems every time you try to even come to friends-grid.
Am I blaming all your troubles on Cross grid…..Nooooooo. However, it is a variable that must be considered.
In the example I shared, technically I was able to go to lunaria at Wolf territory ….so it is not that I was banned. My experience was awful……but my friend Luna helped prove the situation by making a friends-grid avi. Wolf territories and friends-grid are simply not communicating as well as they should….making a negative experience if I visit there. This same issue can happen any day with any grid; just realize when your avi is not from our own grid; it is having to go through two systems….and some days there will be issues. I know our communication with osg is not perfect….but all I can do is fix my side. I have no control over what OSG does or does not do.
5. I ask you all to clean cache, consider system, look at avi, and preferences; but please realize I am trying to do a bit also. These things take time and money….but I am committed to providing the best virtual experience. I say this not to make anyone feel bad, but so you understand.
Friends-grid has always had a powerful dedicated server, but last month I added a second one . Our first server was much stronger than most in Opensim …and now we have the second in place. The speeds I have noticed on grid have been stupid fast since adding second server.
Friends-grid has a system of triple back ups in place….. and these backs are done every hour. This is an extremely detailed security system….but it is in place for you….and your virtual experience.
6. Haters - I am fully aware that there are people who hate me personally and want nothing else other than to see me fail and friends-grid fail. I try to not be over paranoid, but I also try to be aware. Sometimes the issues that you see or feel may be coming from others, intentionally or unintentionally. We will constantly monitor.
In closing, I could easily add 1,000 or 10,000 sims overnight like some others have; but my goal is on the quality of your virtual experience, not how many sims I own.
I want to make this an amazing experience for YOU!

We have moved from our badly damaged home in Marrakesh to the capital Rabat - our power/broadband/telephone is very patchy but I have managed to make contact with Alex (Princess Alex), who will run the ILU side of things with Bobbi Fox, while we assess damage and living arrangements for the family.
Its just been announced over 2000 deaths and hundreds of injured - one close friend hasnt made it but he pulled his parents out of their wrecked family home.
Please pray for us and all those affected by this disaster.
We will see you all soon I hope.

Took the Playful Girl out on the water today to do some more tuning. It was great to be able to get the spinnaker up and enjoy the wonderful islands of Friends Grid going passed.

Good morning everyone!
I am looking forward to being back home and visiting with you all.
My trip has been good, but difficult dealing with daily heat index of 120 +degrees and three hours sleep. I am ready for some rest!
For our members who love racing, I got to see something cool yesterday.
Last night I sat in the actual F1 and Indy race cars driven by some guys named Michael, Mario and Marco. I guess they are a kind of well known racing family. racing family. Very nice people…..but they would not give me the keys!
I am tentatively planning on sailing Sunday at noon and hope to see many of you! Sailboat, speedboat, modded script……. I don’t care what you use…..we simply sail for fun!

Miss Safine and the tech guys have worked their magic and the Annihilation region is back up. Reggie kindly assisted with some testing earlier so if you feel the need to take out a few zombies head on over!
