Reader Submitted: Furry Pride Flag At Deathlands, But Nobody Notices

 

 

 From Rebel Wolf (Hermitblue) of the Deathlands, a picture of a "furry pride" flag over a watchtower, "It's actually my longest running joke, or Easter egg. The Flag shows  up now and then on a building or in this case the tower. The idea is someone is gonna spot it and ask. Nope. 3thd time up. I'm disappointed. They mentioned the phone that is upside down, and found the hooker NPC......"

 

Thanks For The Support

 

 

 Some sad news about the Deathlands. Rebel Wolf (HermitBlue) announced that due to the troubled real-life economy and rising Linden dollar cashout fees, he can no longer continue the sponsorship of his post-apocalyptic sim. Those who wish to keep track of his events can join the community group.

Thanks for the support for all these years, Reb.

Reader Submitted: "I Brewed It My Way"

 

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final drop
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full of caffeine
I drank at each and every sim
And more, much more than this
I brewed  it my way........................

Party in the Deathlands

 

Sunday July 3 was a day of celebration in the usually bleak Deathlands. The region's leader, Rebel Wolf (HermitBlue Resident), aka the Baron, had his rezzday then. So the Sunday night party there at the Fallout Shelter celebrated it. 

Tonight! Live at the Fallout Shelter, in scenic Deathlands, it's Second Life's favorite music maker DJ Wolfy, spinning her radioactive tunes tonight, Sunday 4 PM -6 PM SLT! Come join us for tunes and requests, and dance your heard out! The sim holds only 25, so get here early!

They talked about a few things, such as when Putin and Zelenskyy were supposedly both seen at the Deathlands, "they come to see a radioactive land and learn."  They also talked about some of the local critters. "You finally exhausted the rat population?" "Naw in church and by motel." "They regrouping." "We have baby zombies now..." "The baby zombies are cute and really all they can do is gum you." "They don't do much damage?" "They're like regular mobs I was just trying to be funny." DJ Wolfie, whom sported a lady wolf avatar and a rad symbol armband to match the baron's, played music, some  tunes especially getting the Baron's attention, "Eve of Destruction! Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Fantastic song."

Someone also had out an avatar that looked like a dolphin in an exoskeleton, with legs, "Now I am a space dolphin. I keep getting ejected from parcels with this avatar it's great. ... Half machine half cetacean." Rebel's response was, "Oh nooooooooo! Who cut off Flipers , flippers?" He then looked to the others, "So gang, how do ya all feel about fish tonight?"

It was a crazy night of the kind only the Deathlands could offer.

For artists in Second Life, Rebel Wolf (HermitBlue Resident), aka The Baron, the owner of the Deathlands, is looking to hire one. The picture he has in mind is one of his face, for his Second Life profile.

"I want my face portrait drawn for my profile," he explained, "and don't know any good (artists). ... I just want a picture for (my) profile."

People can contact him by IMing if he's on, or by notecard if he isn't. He can also be found at his sim, the Deathlands at Paradise Kingdom (88/35/22), notably at the Fallout Shelter when it has events Sundays 4-8 PM SL time.

Deadlands Update

Since we last wrote in detail about the Deathlands, there's been some changes to the post-apocalyptic area. One was the instillation of two oil tanks. "Denis, our favorite BUNKER designer, paid a visit and decided we should have a new set of tanks in Deathlands," Rebel Wolf (HermitBlue Resident) would write in his Flickr page , "It's full of radioactive oil and waste. It will finally get a few empty? or Full? barrels on it , and be put in it's place next to the tracks! Thanks Denis!"

"It's really amazing to watch something being built!" Rebel would tell me the next day, "enis owner of BUNKER made them last night. Free! and I'm (the) first owner!" Of Denis (DenisLeontevv), "He has (a) MP store and  BUNKER sim, down right now but it's amazing." It wasn't the first of his builds in the sim, "The water tower was another of his creations. It's great to see sim owners cooperate, and the help he has given me is priceless."

Rebel would share with me a video of Denis' rusty old Soviet-era bunker, "Our bunker while not as nice is cool. While not part of the original idea, we have zombie - er mutants you can shoot too here. ... I have bought a lot of stuff of him, he has really good post-apoco bunker stuff."

Of the oil tanks, "It's by the old train track that lead to nowhere now. We had a set of tanks there, but Denis made us  a 'nicer' set. Does nicer apply to Deathlands? Probably not, perhaps more old and worn! But its less prim, and looks amazing. The tanks and train cars are full of oil and nuclear waste from the old nuclear reactor."

Of DJ Wolfie's performances, Rebel told me they would be a regular weekly event, "I find its wise to let the survivors have a dance once a week, to relax. We don't want a insurrection or  avrevolt against the Baron."

New Sponsor: The Deathlands

The Newser has a new sponsor today: The Deathlands. The place is a roleplay area described as "an isolated post-apocalyptic island community where a handful of hardy survivors desperately cling to what passes for life after the nuclear winter." The place is run by Rebel Wolf (HermitBlue).

All species of visitors are welcomed, though please mind the rules, notably no flying, no laggy gestures and light shows, and above all no child avatars.

For more information, check out the article in Places (August 2019).

The Deathlands

What would life be like after a cataclysm destroyed life as we know it? What if the life you once knew, or your parents knew, was a distant memory of times of plenty as you yourself just scrape by with few pleasures. That in a nutshell describes the environment of "The Deadlands," a roleplay sim of life after the apocalypse. I recently had a tour of the place from the owner. But not everything was bleak. While there, a party was thrown.
