As always for over a decade, the Relay for Life's Relay Weekend was a big event. Over 1200 avatars took part, with well over a hundred either in the stage or looking in from adjacent sims at the opening and closing ceremonies.
The 35 temporary sims (a total of 36 with the permanent American Cancer Society sim) had 93 team camps, six designer sims, four community Hopefest Sims, five "turnkeys," and three sims for the Christmas Expo and Sci-fi con.
The residents ran a total of 4117 laps around the track sims, running a total of 37,940,245 meters until the count was stopped. They ranged from the huge.
To the small. A friend described the first Relay Walk after the uplift to the Cloud Servers as less crashy than he remembered in previous years, but longer sim crossings. I didn't notice the occasional crowd of people waiting at a sim crossing for it to open that I had seen in some previous Relay Weekends.
A LOT happened, too much to describe in a short article. But we do have a link to the Opening Ceremonies (Click here).
The Luminaria Ceremonies were also recorded (Click here).
As were the Closing Ceremonies (click here).
Not all of the exhibits were for looking at. Some had activities such as surfing and kyaking at Teddy Bear Beach in RFL Celebrate. There's also the "Attack of the Garden Gnomes" game, and of course the Sunbeamer's "The Prince and the Spot" game.
A lot of happened, and much will have to wait before it can be written about. Stay tuned for more information.
Addition: As of now, the Relay for Life in Second Life has raised over $400,000 USD (100 million Linden dollars) so far this season.
