"Wrestling Made in Second Life - Valiant Wrestling

 

Today in the official Second Life blog, Linden Lab posted about a subject that's a combination of sports and entertainment: furry wrestling. They wrote about "Valiant Wrestling."

Valiant Wrestling is a Second Life based furry wrestling federation that brings high octane live action wrestling to the grid every Wednesday. 

 

Co-founded by CEOs Dylan Mattel and Charlie Covfefe, Valiant Wrestling offers plenty of fun and excitement at their weekly live events as well as a great community for longtime wrestling fans. Residents looking for a way to live out their wrestling fantasies in the safety of an online community, can find this form of wrestling roleplay both rewarding and interesting. CEO Charlie says, “I have a slight heart issue so I can not pursue a wrestling career IRL. But here in SL I can live out my dream!”

With over 20 furry wrestlers currently active in the federation, the fights include ring announcers, referees, and sometimes even agents that play a part in the proceedings. It is a fully immersive roleplay experience!

Draxtor Despres would film a video about the wrestlers, which included an interview and some scenes of the action.

The Furry Wrestling Federation

Wrestling has a number of fans in Second Life, and comes in various styles. But as the virtual world allows one to be other than human, what place do nonhumans have in the wrestling scene here? One such place is the Fury Wrestling Federation, also known simply as the FWF. Becky Shamen, after hearing about the group from a couple friends, decided to take a closer look at them. They are not a new group, but have been around a few years, and their matches can have some twists and turns.

Reader Submitted: United Federation Starfleet Pinastri Colony

UFS Pinastri Colony, home to United Federation Starfleet Headquarters and Academy. From the second one enters the parcel sounds of the hustle and bustle of StarTrek and its universe float gently through the air. Several Ships, information about them, and notecard givers that provide you about this wonderful place can be found just a few meters away from the entry point of the parcel.

The staff is not only friendly, but is also quite diverse and welcoming. Even the most inexperienced of people are welcomed to come and visit and learn more about role playing as a Starfleet member at the Academy, which is conveniently located on sim. The staff also has a policy of tolerance of all persons, which will help to calm the nerves of even the most skiddish SL Resident. The decor and build of the sim is quite easy to navigate and signs help prevent newcomers from becoming lost as they transverse the sim.

There is also a club for the more partygoing residents if you are so inclined. If you love StarTrek I personally recommend this sim.
