RFL: The Sunbeamer Camp

 


The Hopefest has started, and the Relay sims are open to all on the Relay teams, not just those on build teams. And the Newser is now free to reveal the Sunbeamer camp at RFL Celebrate.The work was done by Cynthia Farshore, Shockwave Yareach, Snowbuns (Skylark Lefavre), and Rita Mariner.

As before, there is the Memorial Garden, located in the back. There are various personalities whom have died of cancer over the years from Humphey Bogart to Roger Moore to Don Adams, to Jim Varney. This year, noted talk show host Rush Limbaugh joins the list. And as always, there's a space for Artistic Fimicloud, a noted member of the Passionate Redheads (the precursor to the Sunbeamers).

What's different this year, "and now for something completely different," is "The Prince and The Spot Game." To play the game, get the bracelet from the giver at the front of the camp, then head to the starting point. What follows is an interactive tale of a prince whom finds a spot on his face that he hadn't noticed before. The plot has a Monty-Pythonesque tone to it. As you proceed, you make choices. Make the wrong choice however, and you won't so much as get a chance to say "not dead yet." 

As of the writing of this article, Team Sunbeamers has raised over 817,000 Linden dollars. Can they hit one million (and make a certain fox live up to a commitment)?

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

Meanwhile, Back in Azeroth: The Darkmoon Bunny





This week in "World of Warcraft" I took part in the attack on the "Darkmoon Rabbit." Created with a certain bunny from a Monty Python in mind, it was "the most foul, cruel, bad-tempered rodent you set your eyes on" with "a vicious streak a mile wide." Able to take down a single player in just a couple seconds with it's huge sharp teeth, and having an insane amount of hit points, taking it on took a team of well over a dozen. 

Some opposing players did try to stop us. The result was the tanks and healers keeping the killer bun-bun at bay while the big guns turned on the would-be PvPers and took them down, then resumed bunny-busting.

We got it, and I got the achievement, "That Rabbit's Dynamite!" Someone else got the rare pet bunny drop, but oh well.
