Scenes From Second Life: "Gemma Explains Halloween"

Official "Creepy Crawl" Schedule


For the past several years, Linden Lab has organized a "Creepy Crawl" event, a Halloween-themed venue crawl, every October 31st. This year will be no exception. Yesterday, Tuesday October 29, the Lab posted the schedule on the official blog.

10:00 AM : Bay City's Halloween Hay Maze - North Channel (128/128/24)
10:30 AM : Dreadvill - Halloween at Cay's - Spice Cove (110/56/3008)
11:00 AM : Sanctuary at Rock - Serena Nightingale (39/76/1999)
11:30 AM : All Hallows - Moochie (170/200/23)
12:00 PM : Club End of Days - End of Days (233/245/503)
12:30 PM : Shenanigans Music Cafe - Ocean Of Orchids (81/64/25)
  1:00 PM : I Am A Rock- Au Paradis (176/60/21)
  1:30 PM : Ambrosia Dance Club - Ambrosia Dance Club (185/121/686)

The event is often crowed and the sims packed. So those having trouble TPing to the next venue in the crawl may want to head to the one after.

The End Of The Ice Cream At Luskwood



Since late August, the "Big Tree" at Luskwood had a dark dysutopian look, with toxic-looking water, grafitti, propaganda from a "Council" with leaflets proclaiming "rebellion" occasionally plastered on them, and a suspicious-looking ice-cream factory. There would be two more bulletins from the Council, one resembling L Ron Hubbard's Sea Organization advertisements, the other looking like Soviet propaganda.

On Saturday October 26 at 8PM SL time was a "Victory Day" party. As no one from the Newser was there, and there are no known pictures of the event, all that there is to go on what happened are the scenes of wreckage at the Big Tree, with clean water flowing this time, and eyewitness reports. There are multiple reports of a giant crab having wrecked the place, although one man claiming to be with the rebellion was saying he had a hand in the ice cream factory exploding, claiming that the substance was flammable. There was no sign of the crab, other than a much smaller one skittering around.

And the "Council?" Reports on what happened to them vary, from getting killed at the event to hospitalized. but it appears their rein over the oldest active community in Second Life is now over.

Note: There was no actual griefing. This was part of a plotline by the residents of Luskwood.

More Halloween Places in Second Life


It's just a few more days until Halloween, and Gemma Cleanslate has sent in what will probably be her last article on Halloween places here in Second Life. She took a look at three. The first was "The Secret Laboratories of Dr. Waxen and Prof. Grey" in Tseshkovsky. Next was the Haunted House at Creations Park. Last but not least, an old favorite that's still around, Nance Clowes' "Haunted Mansion Ride and Haunt Park."

Read Gemma's article in Places.

SL Video: "Lab Gab With Xiola and Strawberry - Episode 5 - The Return of Spooky Second Life"




Here's the most recent "Lab Gab" from Linden Lab, "Episode 5 - The Return of Spooky Second Life," broadcasted last Wednesday. Here, Xiola and Strawberry Linden discuss Halloween. Much of the first 15 minutes is discussing about some amusing real-life Halloweenish tidbits, then they get more into what Second Life has to offer. After 22 minutes, they leave their studio to check out some spooky places.

Halloween Party in Bellisseria Fairgrounds.



From Noon to about 6PM on Saturday October 26, The Bellisseria Fairgrounds were the scene of a large Halloween party. Dropping by in the middle of the event, the sim was packed with close to fifty present. A musician sang from the stage while others danced around below. Some just came as themselves. Some were in costume. It was definitely a party to do the "Monster Mash" in.

Login Issues Keep Many Residents Offline


If you're having trouble logging in today, it's not just you. Today at 11:48AM SL time, it was announced on the Grid Status Report that there was an outage going on with parts of Second Life.

Some Second Life services are currently experiencing an outage. During this time, some Second Life services may be unavailable including, but not limited to: logging in, teleporting, and object rezzing. Please refrain from rezzing in-world, in addition to transacting in-world, on the Marketplace, or on the Lindex during this time. 

This follows an Unscheduled Inventory Maintenance on Friday October 25, in which some residents had similar issues.

Although much of California is expecting brownouts and blackouts due to massive wildfires, which could affect as many as two million people, San Francisco, where Linden Lab is located, is not expected to be affected.

Addition: As of 4PM SL time, the Lab is still trying to fix the issue behind the outage.

Earlier this week, there was another Second Life Destinations video in the official blog, "Halloween Hot Spots."

It may be 10 more days to Halloween, but numerous grid-wide celebrations are already underway in Second Life. This week’s Second Life Destinations video explores a handful of these haunted experiences -- but daring adventurers will want to check out a few more of the 75+ spooky spots featured in the Haunted category of the Destination Guide including haunted houses, dark rides, and other creepy places.

Among the haunted highlights featured in this week's clip are Snuggles, Gooseberry Lake, Whymsee, Halloween Town, Trick or Treat Lane, Salem, and Madpea City.

Announcement: Homes For Our Troops October 2019 Benefit



Frets Nirvana and US Military Veterans Group announce 2019’s October benefit for Homes For Our Troops in Second Life! 

Frets Nirvana, the premier guitar artist in the virtual world Second Life and the US Military Veterans Group announce the 2019 October benefit in Second Life for the Veterans Support Organization Home For Our Troops. 

Frets Nirvana states:  “HFOT is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization building specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for the most severely injured Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of these Veterans are multiple amputees, paraplegic, quadriplegic or suffered severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).  Since its inception in 2004, over 90 cents of every dollar spent by Homes for Our Troop has gone to directly support Veterans. DURING THAT TIME HFOT HAS BUILT OVER 274 SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES NATIONWIDE FOR WOUNDED VETERANS.”

In 2018 the community in Second Life sent over $13,000 to Homes For Our Troops, thanks to may kind hearts and great Second Life performers.  HFOT built 34 homes for extremely wounded veterans in 2018.  We hope to help them exceed that in 2019!

Home for Our Troops benefit concerts feature premier Second Life talent monthly at Veteran’s Isle.  The October concert on August 25, 2019 is scheduled from 4pm to 8 PM PST.  Featured artists will be DJ Waya Snowpaw, Thunder LovenKraft, Dudecansing and Sultry Sonata.

Eye On The Blog: Destinations Video - Haunted in Second Life




A few days ago, Linden Lab had the latest of their Second Life Destinations videos, or "Destinations Video" as they called it this time: "Haunted Second Life."

Oh, there are strange ( and stranger) things afoot, and all over the Grid, Residents and Creators alike are brewing up some Halloween mischief. It is -- after all -- one of the most exciting and celebrated holidays in Second Life!
 
All Hallows Eve, Samhain. Hallow E’en - a time when the spookiest, kookiest, and most mystical of mayhem rolls into our world like a thick and possibly sentient fog. The veil between the living and the departed grows thin, and everywhere you look, you see pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, and ghouls. And don’t forget the treats, and sweets, and tricks and broomsticks - it’s magical!
 
This week’s destination video highlights just a few of the scarier Regions you can experience in Second Life, and while many embrace the spookier side of things all year round, be sure to haunt the Haunted category of the Destination Guide, throw on your favorite costume, and explore. Then join us on Halloween from 11 am to 2 pm SLT for our annual Creepy Crawl. More details on the schedule for that are coming …

Three locations were shown in the video: Arranmore, Everwinter, and Pendle Hill

Remembering Tai'lahr Winnikow


Some residents are well-known for their accomplishments. Others, little word gets out about what they do. A few days ago. the passing of Miss Tai', or Tai'lahr Winnikow. As it turns out, she was a builder who worked behind the scenes in events such as the Fantasy Faire and Fallen Gods. But she was a private person who shied away from attention and preferred anonymity. But with her passing, people whom were once quiet began openly talking. So who was Miss Tai'? I would hear what she did from a few people, most notably from her close friend Kerryth Tarantal.

CDS Election Season


While October is simply Halloween in most places, for the Confederation of Democratic Simulators there's more going on. Once again, it's election season there.

Our community has celebrated its 15th birthday this fall but to grow and stay successful we need your participation!

If you own land a CDS citizen in good standing please consider to run for an office as member of our government.


For those not familiar with the CDS, the community bills itself as Second Life's oldest experiment with democracy. Twice a year, it chooses it's Chancellor and the members of their Representative Assembly. To be able to run for office, or to be able to vote, one has to own land there. Those interested notify the Dean of the Scientific Council by Tuesday October 29 at Noon SL time.

So far, three people have declared their intentions to run for the 32nd Representative Assembly: Cathy Sabre, Rosie Gray, and Tanoujin Milestone. As of now, the incumbent Chancellor Kyoto remains unopposed.

The campaigning of the candidates for Chancellor and RA officially starts on Saturday November 2, and will most likely have rules on where signs can and cannot be placed. There will also most likely be opportunities to meet the candidates and hear where they stand on issues. Recent elections have shown a remarkable lack of drama compared to some in real life.

The polls open on Saturday November 9 at Noon SL time, and will remain open to Friday November 15 at Noon SL time. Shortly afterwards, the Dean of the SC will announce the winners.

"Grove Walk of Fame" Raises 227,000 Lindens



From 8AM to 4PM SL time yesterday, Sunday October 12, was a special Relay event, the "Grove Walk of Fame" at the Grove Greenhouse. The musicians performing were Aleykat, Lisa Brune, Zachh Cale, Phemie Alcott, Djembe Dragonfire, Lunciano, Samm Q, Levi Zuzu, and Jeffah. People were requested to dress in 1940s fashion. This was not part of the Making Strides events, but was an off-season fundraiser for the Relay.

At the end of the eight hour event, quite a total was raised, with a picture showing over 200,000 Linden dollars. The final total raised was 227,000 Lindens.


Thanks to all who came to the Walk of Fame for RFL today and donated so generously!  Today, thanks to all of you, we made a difference to the tune of L$227,000!  You are all fantastic!  I’m always amazed at how this world comes together to make a difference!  And MANY thanks to all the singers who were so amazing!  They are all true stars!

Halloween Town And Moochies


Gemma Cleanslate has been on the lookout for more Halloween themed places, and places now sporting a spooky look for the season. In her article for today, her travels took her to two such places.
