New Bellisseria Citizens Group HQ Location

 

 The Bellisseria Citizens Group has a new headquarters. At Fiddlehead Marsh, one of the Linden homes was converted by Teresa Firelight and Dreamer Pixelmaid into a headquarters for the group. The majority of the decorating seems to have been done by Teresa. 

 

The HQ was actually opened on Monday July 20. When announced in the group a few people headed over to take a look. A few weeks later, one can still go there to relax, maybe nibble on some of the snacks placed at the back porch, or have a cup of coffee inside. The most recent addition, one added by Dreamer, was two "therapy cats," two Kittycats that were on the second floor for anyone to pet. 

 

 

Teresa would say, "Dreamer and I are very excited about our new HQ location. We got extremely lucky and landed a very beautiful spot for all of us to enjoy. And Bellisseria Citizens, we want you to know... this HQ is your space!! It belongs to all of us, and you should always feel welcome to come here and enjoy it."

 

As a reminder, the Bellisseria Cituzens Group is a separate group from the BBB, the Bellisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy, and neither is affiliated with Linden Lab and the LDPW, though you will see an occasional Linden or Mole speak out in Citizens group chat.

RFL Team Sunbeamer Meeting

 

 

 On Sunday July 14, the Relay for Life's Sunbeamer team held a post-season meeting at the team's HQ in Sunweaver Bay. They talked about about how things went this year, what went well, and what didn't. There was discussion about possibly retiring one event, and adding in a new one.

 

Among the things discussed was that while previous years had souvenirs in the Sunbeamer HQ, the ones for this year seemed absent. It turned out they're at Club Cutlass, elsewhere in the sim.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

Goings On In Bellisseria

 

There's been plenty happening around the continent of Bellisseria. Newser reporter Gemma Cleanslate took a look at some of what's going on. With the new stilt house areas, the Bureau of Burocracy has moved to them. There's a new bowling alley. The Bellisseria Citizen’s Group Headquarters is continuing to keep track of what's new. And this being around New Year's Eve, there were a number of parties to ring in 2021.

More Places for US Presdential Candidates in Second Life

In September, the Newser reported on two places in Second Life build to support US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Recently, a few more have been built.

I heard about a "Trump Manor" in the Lionheart Ahadi sim, and heading over, found a large house with a wall around it with a number of Trump campaign signs on it. There were also a couple cars inside, one for estate management, the other which had the image of the candidate on it. Clicking on the gate, it opened, but after I stepped inside, I got a warning from the security system that I had 30 seconds to leave or be given the boot.

I managed to get in touch with the manor's owner, JP Laszio, a member of the "Trump Organization," and one of the people behind the Facebook page, "Donald Trump Thinks Your Waifu Is S***." She stated that the orb had been set up due to griefers and less than reasonable political activists, and if I wanted in to get in touch with her so my name could be added to the list of those allowed in.

More on the discussion with JP will be up later. To get to the manor, head to Lionheart Ahadi (71/38/29). Just contact her if you want inside.

With three areas for "The Donald," what was there for his opposition? The answer was in the Caspoli sim, where I found the "Bernie Sanders SL Headquarters." It was a patio lined with a number of pro-Sanders signs, some praising him, some mocking his opposition. The largest sign was a statement as to how he would pay for his proposals (a series of new taxes and eliminating certain tax breaks). The building is owned by Mac.Wind (Macaria Wind) head of "Vote Bernie Sanders 2016."

Upon entering, I was handed a notecard:

Open to all to enjoy - Group members wearing their group tag are welcome to set home and leave full perm Bernie gifts for the group. Please keep drama and negativity to a minimum and stick to the facts. Ask yourself: What would Bernie do/say?

We all run in to folks who either don't know Bernie or are skeptical about him. These Links to Bernie info including sample articles and facebook pages should be helpful in getting one started on their Bernie Journey. 

Have a Berniful day!

The headquarters is in Caspoli (127/33/34)

Searching to see if there was a place for candidate Hillary Clinton, I found one in the Pandorus sim. Porting there, it was a dark, small, rusty place with barbed wire fence and a walking skeleton. The clearest statement of the owner's intentions was on the map. This wasn't a place for a candidate, but against one.

More on the Trump Manor, and presumably the Sanders HQ later.

Election Night 2012 in Second Life

Last week on November 6th, it was time for American voters to head to the polls in real life. And in Second Life, some politically-minded residents went to certain places to watch and discuss the results. So were the winners gracious in their victory, or did the Democratic donkey make an "ass" out of itself? Were those in second place take it like a champion, or did the Republican elephant vow to never forget what happened?
