At The Renaissance Festival (Joust a Linden Today)

 

The Second Life Renaissance Festival has been going on all week. In a four sim area next to American Cancer Society, various events have been taking place such as jousting (above), melee combat, and roleplay. But there's also been plenty of music events people can just drop in and dance. 

Besides the DJ events, there are also live performers. There was one late last night at 9PM by Dee Freund (Dilah Halostar), the "Grand Finale" that night. 

The Festival runs to Sunday October 3. Events in the final few days include jousting with a Linden or Mole today, Thurs Sept 30 from 12 to 3 PM. 

On Friday October 1, if you want to get back at the Lindens for something such as the lag or teleport crashes, you'll have your chance as several Lindens and Moles will be at the pillory. The pelting with rotten tomatoes and other less than fresh produce lasts from 1 to 3 PM. 

Saturday October 2 is also the day of the drawing of a raffle, the chance to create a new last name for residents to use (and the option to change your surname). The drawing will be 8:45PM SL time. Tickets cost 100L each, or 3 for 200L.

And for those looking for a game, there is the Queen's Quest. Somehow, someone stole her library, and there will be a reward for whom can get it back.

For more information, check the event's blog here: https://slrenaissancefestival.com/ . 

Correction: We originally reported that the Lindens at the Pillory event was on Saturday Oct 2. We apologize for the error.

Jousting And Archery At The Renaissance Fair

Quite a lot has been happening at the Renaissance Fair, with plenty of items to buy with the cash going to charity to music events. But with the theme, there were also combat events. There's been a number of jousting matches, including one I observed on Monday September 28. Lances hit home, and riders ended up knocked off their horses.

That particular joust was won by Michael von Shady (MickeyJoe1 Resident). Second was Alsedel Llewellyn. Third was Skysong (sgudeman Resident). Fourth was Kali (KALIvRAHU Resident)

MickeyJoe1 Resident WINS THE TOURNAMENT! with Alsedel Llewellyn placing a very honorable SECOND! sgudeman Resident has taken THIRD! with KALIvRAHU Resident coming in at a respectable FOURTH!

Later that afternoon was an archery tournament. This wasn't just shooting at a still target. When hit, the target would vanish and pop up somewhere else on the back wall.

First place went to Skyler Amira Constatine (SkylerAmira Resident). Second was Bo (cbrochey Resident). Third place went to Ty (Tyger) Eros Amara (torymchenry Resident). Forth was Ariell Fallen (AriellFallen Resident).

Check the event schedule for more jousting and archery, as well as melee combat matches. And keep an eye out for events with the Lindens and moles.
