Various Halloween Places

 

Halloween is fast approaching. And while people have been getting into the spirit of the season for a few weeks, things are getting truly spooky now. Some are wearing scary and spooky avatars. Some are going to Halloween-themed events. And then there are the Halloween places. By all means there's too many to list all of them. But we can mention a few. Here, Bixyl Shuftan takes a look at several across Second Life, some of which offer activities.

Four Relay Camps

Today and tomorrow, Tuesday June 11 and Wednesday June 12, are the last days the sims of the Relay Track will remain up. So be sure to check the sights. There were four that caught my attention.

RFL Celebrate has a designer build by Archer Mactavish. This "Alice in Wonderland" style adventure will have you going down the rabbit hole, coming across some information about cancer, and more.

In RFL Courage is the Relay for Life Museum. Here, you can find reminders of glories of Relays past.

In RFL Journey, there's an amusement park with activities designed and made by Nancy Clowes. This includes a "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots"-inspired game. You can get a copy on sale for 300L with the cash going to the Relay.

For fans of the recently concluded "Game of Thrones" fantasy drama on TV, there's a camp by "Game of Thrones Cooperative Reborn." This adventure has a quest one can go on.

These are just four of the places in the Relay sims. So by all means don't limit your viewing to them, as there are many more worth taking the time to explore.

Go Relay!

Addition:  The "Flood Party" will be sometime tomorrow or Thursday. After that, there will be a few more team events, such as the Royal Ascot horse race by Team ACTS. The Relay Season ends Sunday June 23 with the Relay Wrap-Up at 10 AM.

"Five Days of Relay" Ends, Relay Weekend Today

Friday June 7 was the last day of the "Five Days of Relay," the event when many motorcross groups raising money for the Relay for Life had an event in the southern sims of the Relay track. And on the final night, many of the bikers took their cycles on the road.

There were bikes of a number of varieties. One looked like the rider was ready for snow on the road, or at least Away-From-Keyboard pedestrians.

Besides glitches such as sim crossings seemingly sending bikes way up in the air, some parts of the track weren't exactly ideal for motorbikes.

With the Relay sims open, one could also walk around and enjoy the sights, as well as take part in the activities they offer, such as this one in RFL Care.

And so, it's all led down to this. The Relay Weekend, the most intense 24 hour event of Second Life. Be sure to be there tomorrow at 10AM, that is if your computers can handle it. For those trying walk laps around the track, use the following link to keep track: http://slrfl.maintree.com/ For those wanting to explore the camps and enjoy the activities without lag, the sims should be up for a few more days after the weekend.

Go Relay!
