Unfortunately, the lovely Rogue Galaxy had problems with her network connection and we had to postpone her performance to another day, which we will announce later.

But Anachron saved the evening and it was a wonderful final act of our events for the 15th Grid anniversary.


I thank you all for being there and I look forward to more wonderful years with you.;.)

Lunar and Chinese New Year is Wednesday January 29th this year. This year is the Year of the Snake. According to the South China Morning Post "The Snake represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Snakes are also associated with good luck, prosperity, fertility and longevity. In some legends, snakes are considered divine messengers and guardians of sacred places. Snakes are also revered for their ability to shed their skin and renew themselves, symbolising transformation and rebirth." There are a few New Year gifts in the Lucky Dragon to be found. There's always a new calendar and this year there's a little plant as well as of course red envelopes and the other goodies. Almost everything in the restaurant, including the restaurant itself is free to copy/buy for 0. So if you'd like a Lucky Dragon for your own little town, assume it's a chain and enjoy. The doors are separates and because of the nature of the mesh building base the kitchen doors are a little trick so grab both sides. You click to sit and end up on a poseball on each side to get through. Happy Year of the Snake!

Howdy guys!

The hat and gun shop has moved to a new building.
The old one became too small.
Buy your own rifle or revolver today and put on a hat.
Because without it you are not a man!

The bride arrives at the Wedding Reception area. Luxury awaits inside the reception area. The foyer is large with fireplace and lounges and champagne readily available. There is a dining room for formal dining that overlooks the stunning gardens - floor to ceiling glass adorn this venue - bringing the outdoors indoors.
A scrumptious smorgasbord for the most fastidious diner awaits. A dancing area opens out to another side of the landscaped gardens that include tropical rainforests, arbors, fountains and much more.
The backdrop to all of this is the most stunning water views as far as the eye can see - with a perfect sunset to make this day a day to remember.

The Mi'kmaq and other Algonquin nations have legends of a troll named Kukwes, that are very similar to the stories of trolls in the Tolkien novels. I found a model that I could rig as an npc avatar. I am thinking he will grab passers by, throw them in a cooking pot, and regale the captive audience with lovely stories and legends while the victim is cooking. :D .

Now we all are in the holiday mood, we offer you a winter adventure.
The ELEVEN CITIES SKATING TOUR. SKATE AND COLLECT STAMPS, WIN A PRIZE.

A skating tour , 12 sims huge , leading you through a wonderful winter landscape with some nice details underway, like cabins for a rest ( or a cuddle ), Icy waterfalls, animals, and more surprises.

How does it work?

Hop : grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago

On the landing place a teleport sign will lead you to the winter fair/ skating tour start point.
Find the information board. It gives you historical information about this funny Dutch tradition, and an opportunity to collect all the original stamps in this tour and win the 11 cities trophy , which in the Netherlands is like being a local hero.

You will get a map/ texture and when opening your world map, you will be able to locate all the checkpoints by comparing the map with your position on the world map. We introduced this bc too many people got lost on track and miss stamps !

Drag all your stamp textures on a notecard and sent it to me. You will be rewarded . I will mention names of the people who are in the "hall of fame" in this thread.

Oh, and don't forget to visit the market with all its freebees !

Happy skating!

We will POST some of our roleplays here continuously to show you all how much we love to RP and keep you aware of whats going on. We already had multiple ones. :
RP - The group was investigating the invasion of dragons on Westeros soil. Rowk and Asad were found during the travel back to the 7 kingdoms. They found some people still alive and living on the vast land. One of them, Mina C. a farmer, was brought to safety in the thick walled Redkeep.
- They then found one of what we call 'People of the Forest', Anniera May who lives on the North-East near a bay in the Vale. She also was made aware of the dragon threat. She is eager to give us assistance.
- As for a third person, Justin Case who right away wanted to help too, was quickly made to guard the North in CastleBlack.
All those people skills helps to keep an eye on the many parts or Westeros. The future King Max C. and his Hand Steve will keep contact with them regularly, uniting as a group every Sundays (beside Dec 16th) so all kingdoms stay safe. ((You all are invited to join us in those meetings !))

Exciting news! In addition to the Dinkie BOM items we have posted at Seasons in Vesti, we've created a Dinkie BOM body with 8 skins, 4 regular eyes, and 11 brand new eye colors. Head over to the Dinkie Emporium on Funzies World to check out these amazing additions!

Thirza hooked this combination up the holidays a little differently.

As some already know, we have had issues a couple days with access to the private E Grid lands.

Great News!

A configuration setting was adjusted and access was restored to the private lands here!

Thank you for your patience!

Die drei winterlichen Sims sind ja schon das Jahr über "geöffnet" - die Adventszeit naht - und an jedem der Adventsabende im Dezember gibt es wieder eine Lesung mit Rubeus in den Märchenzelten. Abwechselnd auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Dorenas World und in Rubeus`Santas Winterwunderland.
Ab 20:00 gibt es dann eine runde Stunde Geschichten und Musik zur Adventszeit zu hören - davor gibts auch schon ein wenig "festliche Klänge" zur Einstimmung. Am 1. und am 3. Advent treffen wir uns im Märchenzelt auf Dorenas Weihnachtsmarkt
dorenas-world.de:8002:Weihnachtsmarkt
und am 2. & 4. Advent gibts Weihnachtsstimmung im Märchenzelt im Winterwunderland
