Sunbeamers Make Emerald: Part Two

It was a triumphant Relay Weekend for the Sunbeamers. After eight years, the team had finally raised a total of a million Linden dollars for this season, and getting Emerald rank for the second time (the first time it took not as much). Getting together for the group picture, one member rezzed a chunk of virtual emerald crystal. This included our star builders Cynthia Farshore and Shockwave Yareach, star DJs Snowy (Skylark Lefavre) and Mattie Carlton (Cynthia's also a great DJ), our newest member Omni-One Kenobi, team captain Rita Mariner, and one wiseguy reporter whom was sporting an unusual look.

Yours truly has a team tradition of doing "Platinum Avatar Challenges." So what would I do for one million? Earlier I was saying if we made that amount, I'd do "something crazy," bring back the "Rita clone" that I wore for a week in an earlier such challenge. Well, someone must have been listening as in the few days leading up to the Relay Weekend and on Saturday, we got over 200,000 Lindens. And so the "Killer Rabbit" is back, for another week.

Personally, it was a roller-coaster of a weekend, partially because of some sad news I'd gotten of a friend in real life. But the fight against cancer is an important one that brings me together with my friends online. And taking the victory lap, I would hear congratulations from a number of people for the Sunbeamers' achievement, as well as a few comments about "the million Linden dollar avatar."
 
Already, we're coming up with some ideas for next year. One was "Bid Me ..." well, we'll tell you in 2022.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!
