The Bellisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy

 

 Occasionally, the Newser will mention the Bellisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy, also known as the BBB, in an article. This is often about its passports and the stamps that many collect in them, it's embassies across Second Life, and more. This past Second Life Birthday, the Lindens got involved in their latest set of stamps. So just who are the BBB? Gemma Cleanslate recently had a talk with their founder Boo Rojyo and he had a few things to say about how they got started and what they do.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Whiskey%20Bay/172/30/22

If you crash or lose your boat please restart at the last rez point you passed.

Racers leave in batches of 2 to 4 to avoid all crashing as they enter the same region at once.

Points are given to the team by placement. First is 1 point, 2nd is 2, 3rd 3, and so on. So the team with the LOWEST points win. We'll decide on the day the finer points of the scoring system depending on numbers involved (eg DNFs)

At full pelt you can do the course in 20 minutes or so. Race conditions are different. But there should be plenty of time.

Stewards are requested too, you'll be assigned to a key way mark.

More Activities With the BBB

 

It's been an event-filled week for the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy and their friends.

Opening of Sansara Embassy, and Tour

 

Gemma Cleanslate was recently at the opening of the Bellessarian Embassy in the mainland continent of Sansara (not Sansar the virtual world no longer owned by the Lab). But instead of a formal party, what followed were visitors being invited on a tour by bus. The result was an hour of thrills, and more than a few spills.

Zombies at Bellisseria

Dropping by southeast Bellisseria the other day, I noticed a group of people. Getting closer, I noticed these were not regular people, but the walking dead: zombies! One muttered, "Brrrrraaiiiinnnzzzzzzz......" But they were dancing in place, not making any aggressive moves.

I then heard why they were hesitating as one muttered, "Uhoh here comes a mole,  we busted." "Eat the mole!" one desired. "Moley brrrrraaaains" Another groaned. But one zombie had no wish for a mole dinner, "Nooo! Moles is nice ,they builds our homes!!!"

Deciding to make discretion the better part of valor, I left the situation to Sleepy Mole and skidadled away from the scene, feeling the blue dot on the map could handle a few zombies.
