New Sims Off Bellisseria Coast

 

Listening in on Bellisseria chat the other day, it was pointed out there were some new sims on the map. Checking it out, there was a new group of eighteen off it's west coast, next to the "dragon in a boot eating a pickle." They're separated from the rest by a one sim wide gap, and cannot be seen from outside, other than the map, or tped to. 

 

 Hard to say what theme these sims will be. While "Smeagol Brook" sounds like something out of "Lord of The Rings," "Trampoline Man" certainly doesn't.

 

I heard that the sims first appeared on Monday, and at first there were just a few, then more appeared. So by the time this is posted and read, there may be more. 

 

Stay tune for further developments,

 

Update: The sims on the map have changed color, looking wintry, though are still off-limits.

Abnor Mole's Hidden Cave

Taking a peek at Daniel Voyager's Blog, He mentioned a hidden Mole cave on the south coast of Eastern Bellissaria. So I went over to take a look myself. In the Rigamarole sim, there's a dock where boats can be rezzed near a waterfall at the coast, the water coming from a rocky stream leading from a pond. In some stories, some interesting things can be found behind waterfalls. And here there was something interesting as well.

Walking through the waterfall, behind it is a cavern. And in the middle of the cavern is a trailer, one owned by Abnor Mole. Going inside, there were crates of supplies, including an open one full of crystals. There were also some pictures on the wall, including an "anti mind-control device."

Then there was the computer desk. There were three screens. The left one was actively playing a list of Youtube videos, which could be heard if the media button was playing. The middle screen was a forwarded Tweet of a picture of Magellan Linden. The right screen had, pornographic material. The state of the desk area around the keyboard was a bit sloppy. There were a few bottles of booze, including "Magellan's Irish Cream," and a stack of beer cans. There was also a cigar in an ash tray, and a book, "The Ultimate Guide to Tinfoil" by Magellan Linden.

So it seems Magellan Linden has been hiding out in Abnor Mole's trailer. Hopefully his searches for frisky material, presumably after all that booze, didn't get the computer any malware.

The cave can be found near: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rigamarole/192/154/22

Addition: It turns out the screens with Youtube and the adult website had been set up by an unknown resident due to an oversight when the computer was set up.

SS Galaxy Relocated to Bellisseria Coast

Yesterday evening, word began to spread about a sight just off the west coast of the new continent of Bellisseria. It was the SS Galaxy, Second Life's largest ship, three sims in length.

A vacation cruise liner, from 2007 to 2015 it was an active area, it's owner and staff renting out rooms and organizing events. Then following it's worst griefing attack ever in which the particular Linden that answered to their call for help responded poorly, the decision was made to close the ship. But Linden Lab decided to bring the ship back, and several months later it was back on the Grid.

But, there was no staff to welcome people, organize events, or arrange for people to have a cabin for a while. Occasionally people from outside would organize an event. Still, it wasn't the same ship those who saw it in earlier days knew. On those occasions I went there, I was either alone or there was just one or two others.

After hearing from a couple friends, I decided to check things out for myself. While the ship's old location on the map showed it there, a closer look showed nothing but water and the sims were inaccessible. While where the Galaxy really was, it wasn't showing on the map nor were the sim names. Nor could anyone TP there. One could only head over from the adjacent Hibiki, Bazby Gulf, and Belby Depths sims.

Getting there, the ship was the same one I remembered, and I ran into people from the continent whom were happily looking the ship over and inviting over friends. If Linden Lab wanted to revive interest in the ship, it's done so for the short term. The Newser was told that someone from the Lab would be making an announcement soon. So stay tuned for further details.
