Coming Soon: #STEAM5 Hunt in #SecondLife

Reply

Watch the link for new posts. The hunt starts Sep 1 at midnight, and the merchants are waiting for updated lists of shops, hunt gears (they’re scripted) and so on.

Something is starting to happen, as all the merchants got their gift boxes returned from the private merchant area from the LAST hunt.

Lelani to do: LOTS thanks to RL
Gift: planning on a unisex hat with simple texture changes. Have the base, some lovely textures (many from previous hunts) that will be set to no-transfer.

Extra: Steampunk floating dance gear.

Shop: odds and ends to dress it, the new shop is mostly done.

Need: group inviter, logger, mailbox

PARTY?? When???

Dhughan: woefully behind as always
GIFT: a better walking stick than last time for men/women, OR a nice chair/ottoman with… tea?

Extra: Dhughan’s Unpredictable Brass Ball

Shop: somewhat limited prims. Needs dressing, props, teleport to upper room?

Need: group inviter, logger, simple mailbox

PARTY? Dhughan is much too shy.

How Dare The Steelhead Sentinel Call Me a Land Ho! I’m Respectable! #SteelheadSL

I’m not thinking about getting more land in Steelhead St Helens! No I’m not! (rather like Queen Mary protesting that she’s not dead yet).

But it’s so pretty. At least before the Big Bewm.

UPDATE: Well, I didn’t get more land in St Helens.

But Dhughan did – he went and bought a pub, saying something about needing a place to relax.

Full Moon and Aurora Over Steelhead St Helens

I’m really, really starting to enjoy the views on my little chunk of virtual paradise in Second Life: Steelhead St Helens. The reboot/rebuild that TotalLunar Eclipse did is really starting to come together, and new neighbors with pretty new houses and cabins have appeared, along with a horse ranch and some gypsy wagons. The church and sawmill have returned, and it’s all starting to look like… a rural community. It feels like one, too.

Hint: Land is still availablel. IM TotalLunar Eclipse for information.

Following a town meeting at Steelhead more on that later, I met with a few of the locals, human and otherwise. One of the elvenfolk, a TotalLunar Eclipse, told me his partner Tensai Hilra planned to do a controlled explosion at the nearby Mt. St. Helens, in order to prevent or postpone a much larger eruption predicted at a later date. However, he suggested there might be alterior motivations, "I think people just want a boom."

via Second Life Newser: Mt. St. Helens to Blow this Friday, Says Steelhead Scientist.

It was great to see this news item in my feed today – I’ve been happily building my new shop and it’s almost ready, PLUS the rooftop deck has a great view of Spirit Lake and Mt St Helens. So all my friends and acquaintances and spambots are invited to drop by, and I’ll give you a FREE commemorative hat.

Also possibly an umbrella to keep the ash off your shoulders.

I’ve managed to get the one-prim vendor working, finally, that had been giving me problems, so there’s actually stuff to buy too. Also, I’ve got one of Clover’s Kitchen vendors out as well (need to look over the products in the others – maybe the food and drink one too).

Dhughan has been busy, too, and hopes to have something to give out as well at his new shop in Shanghai. More on that from him later.

I’ll have some photos to upload and share here, too. Lots has been going on, lots of new neighbors in St Helens, lots of fun changes, and just a little cowering.

My New Build in #SteelheadSL Coming Into Focus

Posted on by August 2, 2011
Reply

Courtesy of a Twitter avatar image toy, another way to present myself as a completely unfocused cloud of color.

Sorry, dear theoretical reader, I haven’t been blogging or even socializing much lately. But I have been building, and I’ve cut back on mainland holdings in favor of a nice big riverside parcel in Steelhead St Helens, which will soon hold a rebuilt store and a rededicated “plank house” that will be part an old fishing camp, with more cultural items and historical photos on display.

I’ve signed on for STEAM 5 and so has Dhughan, who has taken a bigger shop in Steelhead that will offer more shopping and roleplay opportunities. He’s not sure if he will keep it after the Hunt concludes, as it’s in a sketchy if colorful area.

He found a head in a bucket in the nearly empty shopfront, and the pigeon on the roof keeps exploding. Must be something in the water.

We’ll be working on products and props and knick-knacks but will be socializing as well. The Town Hall meeting tonight should be interesting as Mr Lunar will no doubt report on the redesign of St Helens, which is now beautifully forested and includes a memorial to the victims of the modern-day eruption of the real Mt St Helens (real? Yes).

I’m throwing in my lot with the Steelhead community – I dumped about half of my mainland holdings in Tintafel and will gradually start living full time in St Helens after TotalLunar Eclipse finishes his big terraforming project.

Finally started work on the big new “Mercantile” shop, on the parcel next door. The original Dry Goods shop will gradually become a “New Curiousities Shop” and have more Northwest Coastal Indian things displayed. Also, I’ll move ahead with the original plan and turn it into a traditional salmon-fishing plot.

Planning on monthly Artdances in the new space too – the roof will be a dance floor.

Not only that, Lunar talked me into another 512 that was kind of stuck behind me in his plan for the re-terrain. So, yeah. Lots of land, double prims.

Needs moar trees, although I finally figured out what was making the weird flickering glow in the shop! Someone long before me left behind a bizarre glowing purple alien willow tree that was buried about 2m below the back corner of the shop. This was what was glowing, but also one of the textures in the back got corrupted, so I replaced the whole building precisely.

Gotta love moving in SL, wish real-life moves were that easy.

Need to check in with Petal’s aunt and see if there’s an adventure on this week or next. I have a meeting or two tomorrow but Bug should be able to run around later. Need to get some decent things for that girl.

[10:22 AM] IM: KittyCatS Box – New Born Kitten: Type a Name for your Nest…
[10:22 AM] Dhughan Froobert: Studebaker
[10:22 AM] IM: KittyCatS Box – Studebaker: I’m now called Studebaker!

Yes, yes, in the world of KittyCatS breeders, not really a “keeper,” except as a pet – but I happen to be extremely fond of red tabbies and in fact a RL kitty in my typists household was one such. He lived to be a great age – 18 or 19 years – and so whatever gender this kitten turns out to be, it shall carry on the name of Studebaker proudly.

The plan that Miss Lelani currently has is to offer kittens up for adoption in the old shop in Steelhead St Helens, and also to sell items such as pet beds and nice china dishes, into which the food bowls sold by the KittyCatS store would slip.

Miss Lelani was quite inspired yesterday and made 6 or 7 simple, two-prim pet beds after finally breaking down and buying some sculpt maps that had inspired her when she first saw them several months ago. She has tried to make sense of Blender on her own and has been making progress, but realized that she was being held hostage by her own frustration with the program.

In the meantime, I shall also be offering some nice gentlemen’s pet furnishings, which will go with some of the club chairs and settees that I shall be making shortly.

We now have a total of 4 kittens, as we had purchased 2 of the Relay for Life packs (not being able to commit to walking the track with the Steelhead Salmons team, we also donated funds through the municipal kiosks). The KittyCatS people are quite savvy about their newest kitten packs, which will be out for sale tomorrow. However, we shall muddle along with Dash and Minnie, and the new kitties yet to be named, and see if there is any interest in Steelhead in pet-quality adoptions in the meantime.

But not for Studebaker, at least; we shall build up some breeding stock to at least have some interesting traits – an orange tabby will make an admirable shop cat, however!

In the meantime, here is a peek at one of the pet beds that shall shortly be available for purchase:

There are a few minor caveats. It fits most pets, so only very, very small dragons and recently born foals. It should fit most dogs and cats unless you’re breeding at a monstrous scale. It could work as a tiny bed with the right animations added. Currently there are no animations, but it can be set as the home point for pets.

We shall enjoy offering this to the rusticated pet-owning community in Steelhead and beyond. I may even take a whack at putting together a smart-looking Chinese or Asian version.
