What Happened to 7Seas' Meissa Thorne?

With the arrival of Ebbe Linden, there's been much hope that finally things will change for the better in Second Life. But on occasion, one still hear tales of Linden Lab's heavy-handedness. Recently, Second Life Newser heard tales about one of the 7Seas fishing game team, Meissa Thorne, getting banned from the grid. Bixyl Shuftan investigated, and eventually talked to Meissa's teammate Jen Shikami for answers.

Fishiversary

 

Every spring, the 7Seas Fishing Game has a full weekend of fun fishing in three sims. It is called Fishiversary and there is great anticipation among the fishing community for weeks beforehand.  It will be open from Friday May 3 through Monday May 6. Owners of fishing sites all over SL and some individuals with "fishy business" create little islands where they place custom fishing items for catching. The catches range from special wearable fish, rods, boats, avatars, apparel, to gift certificates. 

 

The little isles are always worth seeing. Meissa Thorne is building a special center on Osmium region where the 7seas owners, Seven and Jen Shikami will place special gifts.  Parties and contests take place on that main island and there are always wonderful prizes such as bait, which is coveted.  Fishers can rezz a boat there and take off to the other sims and fish for all kinds of magical customs they have created for us. 

 

Whether you are a fisher or not it would still be a great place to visit just to see the builds in the regions. If you are a fisher this is a great time to fill your inventory with special items. Hope to see you there. I am placing a slurl here that will work beginning Friday morning!

Fishiversary 2012

It is that time again; 7seas Fishiversary 2012 is open! This is the 4th anniversary of 7seas fishing and the owners & designers, Jen Shikami, Seven Shikami and Meissa Thorne have set new customs of their own on their Party Island in Osmium. They, as well as 7Seas sass, will be hosting many fishing contests during the weekend and holding live DJ parties there on Sunday.

Twenty four of the designers of custom fishing items: rods, fish, wearable items such as shirts, hats and more, have set out their little islands in the sims of Ruthenium and Iridium. The items are all free to catch ( with baited rods) and many fishers will spend the whole weekend in these three sims looking for these special items. It is a great fun weekend.

I went to a very busy contest on Friday morning. Almost 40 fishers participated in 15 minute contests with bait going to the the top 10 leaders and a special prize for 1st and 5th place. If you have time and are not a fisher you can come take a look at the builds. If you start from the following LM you can rezz a boat and take a ride through the three sims. The cute builds are worth seeing and so are some of the fishers!
