Misadventures in Rust Angels: The Base Defense Contest

 

As a survival MMO, Rust is among those most noted for it's competitive (or downright merciless in some places) PvP action. Wanting to avoid the "PvP kiddies," many players prefer the PvE servers such as the Angels server for Nydia Tungsten and some of her friends. But how do you keep things from getting too predictable and give something extra special for the players to do? For server moderator Umbra, the answer in August was a race. For September, he had another competition: who could design the best base in terms of resisting a raid.

Game Review: "Love & Sex : Second Base"

 

While computer games are often thought of as kid stuff, not all are okay for kids. There's been a number with blood and guts since "Doom" (and before). And some offer adult situations, nudity, and sex. But considering how the expression "porn movie plot" has come to mean hardly any, one can be forgiven for thinking none of the latter have much of one, and most don't. Nydia Tungsten however heard about one adult game that was supposedly an exception: "Love & Sex : Second Base" by Andrealphus Games. Giving it a try, she found the game offers comedy, drama, and suspense. So how well did it all come together?

New Airbase in Caledon Regions

For those who like flying high over the sims of the Caledon steampunk community, there's a new place to land. Yesterday on November 5 at 6PM SL time was the opening party for the new carrier airship in the Caledon Steam SkyCity sim. The ship was made by Amy LaCroix (SimplyAmy Iwish).

Tuesday the 5th Caledonian Nights has it's first dance on the new landing strip airship in Steam Sky City. Amy I Wish has built a lovely air ship base for us all to visit and use. DJ Cynthia Farshore will be our DJ for the evening. We will get started at 6.  Feel free to explore as the base has a library, forest, meditation sand garden.  Hope to see you there, the theme is sky pirates, privateers and rouges.

The party went on for a little more than two hours.

 In January 2018, another airship base, the Iron Cloud, closed down.

The new airship base can be found at:

Furillen's Battle of Hoth

This month, the Star Wars film "Rouge One" will be out in theaters. A number of fans of the sci-fi franchise will be celebrating in various ways. Serene Footman, the owner of Furillen, has rebuilt the sim as a tribute to the Battle of Hoth in "The Empire Strikes Back" movie. Taking a look around, there's plenty to please fans of the struggle between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance.

New Allied Base Sim in WW2 RP Area

For the players on the Allied teams, the layout of the sims gave them just one small area at the bottom of the southernmost sim. This came to an end last week on Dec 9 when the new "Allied Base" sim was declared open in a ceremony and party, with a truce declared and all teams invited.
