Relay Trophies

 

The Relay Weekend is over, and my SL family, Charlee, Winter, and I, have set up a few momentos in one corner, such as the trophies we got for our walks around the track.

Winter did at least one complete lap, and got the "Turtle" award, which is what the majority of Relayers who walk the track get. I ended up getting a "Rabbit" award for walking the track at least ten times, the first time in my years at the RFL in SL I've ever done so. And Charlee got a "RoadRunner" award for walking it twenty times, also her first one.

 

The Relay season itself is winding down, with only the ACTS Royal Ascot and a few other smaller events going on until the official end.  But we still have other events later this year to look forward to, such as Making Strides, the Renaissance Festival, and the Winter Expo. And next February it starts all over again with "Wild For A Cure."

 

Go Relay!

Games in Second Life: Linden Realms and 7Seas

Recently Linden Lab opened a "Gaming Island" to demonstrate how "skill games" are played. Gemma Cleanslate does some gaming in Second Life, but she had little interest in the kind the new Linden area highlights. Her two favorites are Linden Realms and a longtime fishing game in Second Life: 7Seas. She decided to write about them to describe what their attraction is.

Press Release: RFL - Changes to Most Lapped Walked Awards Structure

After reviewing last year's volunteer feedback, the following changes have been implemented to ensure that everyone has a fun and quality experience on the relay track. These changes affect the Most Walked Laps Awards structure and are as follows:

1. Instead of awarding trophies to the persons who had accumulated the most laps, the acknowledgement will be awarded in three tiers, based on the laps completed.

2. The three tiers are as follows:
1 complete lap to 9 complete laps - 3rd Level Recognition
10 complete laps to 19 complete laps - 2nd Level Recognition
20 complete laps to 30 complete laps - 1st Level Recognition
31 laps or more disqualified from earning award recognition

3. We encourage speed boosters be saved for use AFTER the Event Day has ended.  We invite those, who like to use our track as an opportunity to get out those speed enhancing scripts, to enjoy the track from Sunday night (the 20th)  after 8pm SLT until the track is dismantled later in the week.  In fact, if YOU would like to organize the GREAT RELAY RACE for any day after the close of Event Day, let us know by IMing anyone on your committee!

Thank you for your feedback and cooperation, as we strive to make our Relay fun and enjoyable for all!

Sincerely,
The 2014 Relay For Life of Second Life Committee
