So far my only complaint is just the normal first release growing pains. It has problems unrelated to PBR, like crashing consistently on teleports. That happened with 6.6.17 when they first released it, then a couple weeks later they had cleaned up those issues. Otherwise the NON-PBR stuff does not look strange, or any of the other fears I have seen expressed. The mirror effect is pretty neat, but less ambitious than hoped. It has a slow refresh rate. I saw a mirror hack for Firestorm way back a few years ago, that did a beautiful mirror surface in realtime.

In response to stuff below, and the ongoing...controversy. I know for a fact that many of the people involved in the last big kerfluffle a few weeks ago, who expressed a lot of negativity toward LGBT people. They have ZERO problem with fantasy-roleplaying getting the stuffins banged out of them as a sh*male (derogatory term for transgender woman, they get all their information from porn apparently) or being a virtual lesbian or whatever. I am not anyone's psychologist, priest or rabbi. I can't help anyone with their inner conflicts, and kudos to them if they are working this all out. I just wish everyone would chill out, and leave people the f*** alone.

You want to integrate something like a "rainbow flag flag" in GridPuppy?
Sounds like a good idea to me, and I'm curious especially about the implementation in-world.

Actually the idea of a little rainbow flag, or some kind of indication that a place is LGBT welcoming.. That can be done anywhere, even here. That would be more of a social campaign, asking region, grid and club owners to make a commitment and clear that all are welcome, and bullying is not allowed.
Maybe put a little rainbow heart in the corner of their place profile pic. It would just take a lot of people asking venue owners to do that, if they are so inclined.

I have just been letting gridpuppy sit for the time being. With all the fighting that had been going on, I felt like it would be best to let things simmer down for a while. Otherwise it would all just spill over to the new thing. I'd really like to get started with it, over the summer on a really positive footing. Does that make sense? It just seems like a bad idea to do something, simply because everyone is angry.

I already mad one for gridpuppy. It is just a database of regions, and a visual display with the parcel picture, name and description, and the address. gridpuppy was intended for everyone, even the jerks. If we wanted to do a more narrowly focused one, for a smaller number of places, it would be easy enough.
The beacon itself would just periodically transmit the parcel information to the server and update the listing. A very easy script.

I think that LGBT+ friendly places include about every region. A narrow-focused HG board would have only the LGBT+ focused places. Perhaps we could also have a note card giver with embedded LMs for the friendly places.

A beacon for queer friendly regions only would be nice! In my opinion it shouldn't count visitors for 2 reasons: 1st, save CPU time, 2nd not needed when the list has no ranking. I would like it if the list is periodically randomized. Then all regions have the same chance to be found and not only the popular ones.

I'd love that! Send me a message on GroovyVerse, and we'll figure something out. Sam is starting on the two larger villages, but we still need forest roads around the volcano. And I also made a tall pier to surf under, between the posts and we need to figure out a way to make that dangerous or possibly fatal. haha My original idea for the region was for it to be a wave lab, and I want to make waves that react to the sea bottom / water depth. So you could sculpt the wave conditions by terraforming the sea floor. Those will be fun experiments. :)

oops I forgot to ask for the location but I am going to find it. I am going to look at the original surf spot now, and hope I find the new one near there haha

=) I will be there ... like right now. LOL . I am sure you aren't there in the middle of the night, but I am stopping by just in case. I can't wait to see you either way. It's been too long! Marianna mentioned how fun it would be to add a few ways to wipeout to the surfboard and I was thinking about that as well. Sounds like something we could really have some wicked fun with haha
