FF Announcement: Jail & Bail - Patch Linden (Postponed)

 

The ever-vigilant Pawlice have discovered that Patch Linden has been involved with the Notorious Moles ransacking the candy store for a nefarious attempt to emulate Hansel and Gretel. Shocking! Candy Detox is ordered in a Gingerbread Waffle Jail. There is evidence! There is candy! There is a rumor that the Pawlice will eat both while Patch offers bribes – big, stupendous, amazing bribes – to the Fairelanders to bail him out! How will it turn out? Come to the Golden Hour on the hour, dance around with DJ DaveOSaurus’s tunes and see!

Jail & Bail takes place in the Faireland of The Golden Hour.

It's The Great Trick or Treat Event, Bellisseria!

 

 

 With Halloween, an interactive event has returned to the Linden Home areas: the Bellisseria Trick or Treat event. This is an event anyone can take part in, and any owner of a Linden Home can make it grow. Details were explained in the Linden blog and the forums. 

Join the Halloween fun in Bellisseria this season to collect candy and win exciting prizes! This interactive event is open to everyone, with Bellisseria Residents hosting Candy Buckets on their parcels. Don’t miss out on the spooky partygoers and creative costumes during this virtual Trick or Treat. Plus, there are prizes for all participants ...

Prepare to celebrate Halloween Belli style! Collect candy across Bellisseria this Halloween season and win prizes! This is an interactive event where residents living in Bellisseria can host Candy Buckets on their parcels and anyone (even residents not living in Bellisseria) can go all around Bellisseria Trick or Treating to collect candy. 

 

 

People take take part in two ways. For both of them, head over to the Haunted Neighborhood in Millbank (217/41/23), There, near the red balloon, you'll find three boards. The first will give you a candy bucket, which is what those playing the game will need to find. The second will give you the Trick or Treat HUD for playing the game. The third will give players a prize if they've collected enough candy. 

 

For those with Linden Homes, you can take part in the candy giving. Touch the first panel, and it will give you a orange candy bucket with a jack o' lantern smile. Just rezz it on your porch, or somewhere clearly visible that you don't mind visitors walking over to. Rezzing it inside the house is not recommended as treaters need to get close to the bucket to collect candy. 

 

To take part in the trick or treating, clicking on the middle panel will give you the trick or treat HUD. Just add it to your avatar, and it should appear on the upper left of your screen, with some minor adjustments possibly needed. When entering a Bellisseria sim, it will tell you in local chat how many candy buckets are around. 

 

 When clicked by someone with a HUD, the candy buckets animate with a cloudy of candy going up into the air. The bucket won't work outside Bellisseria.

 

To get the candy faster, there's a spreadsheet with various locations you can find (here).  To get on the list, fill out this Google docs form (here). 

 

The forum would also list some prizes, which can be gotten by clicking on the third panel. Patch Linden would list the prizes in the forums as follows:

• 1 Candy: Custom display shelving unit for Boopies.
• 100 Candies: Nibblehoof Boopie (decor and animesh follower), Custom display shelving unit for Boopies.
• 250 Candies: Boopie Bones Boopie (decor, huggable, and animesh follower with random tint-changing versions), Nibblehoof Boopie (decor and animesh follower), Custom display shelving unit for Boopies.
• 400 Candies: Snarklin Boopie (decor and animesh follower), Boopie Bones Boopie (decor, huggable, and animesh follower with random tint-changing versions), Nibblehoof Boopie (decor and animesh follower), Custom display shelving unit for Boopies.

No ending date was given, though it's safe to assume the event will end on November 1. In the meantime, have fun collecting candy, and the sights of the occasional decorated home in Bellisseria. Among the locations with candy buckets is the Newser's auxiliary office at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wallingford (128/40/32).

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

 

A number of you have seen the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory" and/or the 2005 remake "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." While there's no chocolate factory like this in real life, someone made it appear here in Second Life. Gemma Cleanslate took it upon herself to head there and explore this "sweet operation."

Easter Town

Easter is almost here. And that means Easter Town is back. For every major holiday, Laura Liberty's Townies sim has a new look. And at this time of year, the sim becomes a tribute to the Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs. There you can ride a balloon, play several games and/or buy a few, take part in an egg-decorating contest, and more.

Cartoon of the Day: The Easter Bunny Overdoes It

Taken at Easter Town in the Townies sim. Looks like the Easter Bunny overindulged on his own treats.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at Furry Fashion. One night in Second Life, a few friends and were talking about how clueless some guys seem to be when it comes to getting a girl. I was thinking about that when looking at this picture of a well done candy cane look for a party. I imagine for her, the solution to such cat-calls was quite literally in hand.

Halloween Candy Hunt in the Pony Sims

Pony fans have a chance for some Halloween fun with an Equestrian bent.  DC the Cyberpony (death.berger) described it as "a huge multisim candy hunt. You run around the sims and click on candy, then you can use the points to get prizes." The sims involved are, "Derpyland, Trotsdale, Ponytown and Ponyvale." The event is not just for the residents of the community, but to all, "everyone is welcome."

 According to the rules, while candy can be in RP areas, it will never be on someone's private property. Each sim has a total of 420 points worth of candy on it. It ranges from 5 point lolypops, peppermint sticks are worth 10 points, hard candy is 15 points, candy corn is 20 points, and pumpkin candy is a whopping 50 points. Some sims are described as having "exclusive prizes."

Anyone with questions can contact Dash (Shurikenangel Resident).

Note, visitors heading to the pony sims may need to go to a hub area first, where one will need to pick up a HUD to be able to use a teleporter to the sims.

Laura Liberty’s Valentine Town

Valentine's Day is almost here. And that means getting some gifts for a loved one, or perhaps just walking around in a place with a romantic atmosphere. DrFran Babcock found one such place at Builder's Brewery: Valentine Town. There, one can get some candy & flowers, or a card, or just browse around the sights where love truly is in the air.

Candyland Ride in Conundrum

Mystery's sister sim, Conundrum, has a new attraction just in time for Easter: the Candyland Factory ride.

Just go through the door and down the stairs, following the arrows. One soon gets to a chocolate river with a boat just big enough for two, the right size for a couple on a date. But larger groups can also take the tour as another boat will appear after the first is taken.

Going down the river, one finds a magical land, an underground candy factory. But this isn't "Willy Wonka," and there are no little chubby men. Instead the treats are made by teddy bear bakers, who make and gather the treats. One can find all sorts here from donuts, to lollipops sprouting like flowers, cupcakes, gumdrops, cookie trees, and more.

The Candyland ride is at the Anchorage shopping district at the Conundrum sim (84, 144, 26)
