RFL Sunbeamers Bid Me Events: April 2026

 

The Relaystock is over, and the Relay's Team Sunbeamers has passed the one million Linden fundraising mark (inworld and offworld combined), But the team's far from done raising cash for the American Cancer society. Three vic-er, volunteers have put their looks on the line for charity in the latest of the team's "Bid Me" events. These fundraisers are based on the "Bid Me Bald" ones popularized by the Relay Rockers team.

 

Cynthia Farshore and Shockwave Yareach have an unusual pair of Bid Me events. They are each offering to be a clone of one another: Cynthia as Shockwave and vice versa. For both of them, they each have a pair of kiosks in the back of Club Cutlass, Cynthia's the left pair, Shockwave's the center pair. For every 3000 Linden dollars donated in the right kiosk, rounded down, they have to be a clone of the other for a week, Cynthia as a male wolf, Shockwave as a female goat. 5999 Lindens would mean one week, 6000 Lindens would mean two weeks. As with most other Bid Me events, there's a default kiosk for those wanting to keep them their current looks. If the left kiosk is greater than the one on the right, nothing happens.

 

The third Bis Me event is by Charlee Harmony.  She's offering to change from her usual red fox avatar to a black vixen. For every 2000 Lindens in the right kiosk, rounded down, she stays in her new look for a week. 3999 Lindens would mean one week, 4000 Lindens would mean two. 

 

The kiosks are in the back of Club Cutlass, and so far a total of 18,500 L have been raised in all three. Donations are being accepted until Saturday April 25 when they will presumably be closed at the end of the party that night at 8PM SL time and the results final.

RFL Sunbeamers "Bid Me" Events

 

The Sunbeamers Relay for Life team may have gotten Emerald level after passing the one million Linden dollar mark. But that hasn't stopped them from going after more. The team currently has three "Bid Me" events going, inspired by the "Bid Me Bald" fundraisers of the Relay Rockers. All involve kiosks at Club Cutlass in Sunweaver Bay.
 

The first has Shockwave Yareach as the volunteer, "Bid Shockwave Goat," in which the Sunnies' master builder as well as of parody tunes is putting his looks on the line. For the fundraiser, two kiosks are involved. For every 3000 Linden dollars dropped in the one on the right, rounded down, Shockwave has to spend a week as an anthro goat. 5999 Lindens would mean one week, 6000 L would mean two weeks. There's also a "keep Shockwave Wolf" kiosk on the left for those wanting him to stay as he is.

 

Cynthia Farshore, the team's other master builder, whose work as won awards, has volunteered for her own "Bid Me" event, "Bid Cynthia Wolf."  For every 3000 Linden dollars dropped in the right kiosk, rounded down, the Sunbeamers' ever hardworking nannygoat becomes a wolfess for a week. 5999 Lindens would mean one week, 6000 L would mean two weeks. There's also a "keep Cynthia Goat" kiosk on the left to keep her hooved and horned. 

And last but hardly least, team captain Rita Mariner has also volunteered to put her looks on the line for "Bid Rita Pinkie." For every 3000 Linden dollars dropped in the right kiosk, rounded down, the Sunnies' "killer rabbit" becomes a pink anthro pony for seven days. 5999 Lindens would mean one week, 6000 L would mean two weeks. There's also a "Keep Rita Bunny," kiosk for those wanting to have her avoid becoming a color she is not looking forward to being.

 

All three fundraisers are going on until Saturday May 17th. Usually the kiosks take donations until just before 8PM SL time when the Cutlass Saturday parties are about to end. But there has been an exception or two.

Once again, the kiosks are accepting bids until May 17.

New RFL Sunbeamer Fundraisers: Date Auction, Two "Bid Me" Events

Just days after the success of Nydia Tungsten's "Bid Me" event for the Relay for Life's Sunbeamers, the team has three more fundraising events going on. On Monday, it was announced Skylark Lefavre, aka DJ Snowbuns, would be putting herself up for a date auction.

Beamers: You can now win a date with our own DJ Snowy.  She is up for AUCTION, at Club Cutlass.  It will run for about the next 12 days.  Min bid is 100L. but we all know Snowy is worth much more than that. Auction Board is next to entrance at Club Cutlass.  Can't miss it.  Snowy is displayed in all her glowing glory!

Talking to Snowy, she made it clear that the date will have limits. While watching a movie or a slow dance at a club would be nice, she will not take part in any intimate activity. She left open the possibility of a DJ session or drawing. More information is included in a notecard in the bidding board at Club Cutlass. Bidding ends Saturday May 2 at 8PM SL time. As of the writing of this article, the next bid will need to be at least 1200 Lindens.

The other events are the two latest "Bid Me" events for Team Sunbeamers. Shockwave Yareach and Cynthia Farshore, the two most notable builders of the team, are putting their looks on the line. Both have three kiosks each for their event at Club Cutlass. Besides her default avatar, which would allow her to stay her usual goat avatar, Cynthia is offering bidders to make her change to a fox or wolfess for a period of time. For Shockwave, whom is usually a wolf, the options besides the default kiosk are to make him a fox or a goat for a while.

For both events, for each 2000 Lindens raised in the winning kiosk, rounded down, they'll have to spend a week as that look. For instance, 3999 Linden dollars would mean one week while 4000 would mean two. And as before, if the default kiosk comes out on top, the volunteer's appearance is unchanged. People have until Saturday May 9 at 8PM to make their bids.

Once again, the board and kiosks are in the back of Club Cutlass. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sunweaver%20Bay/114/117/757

RFL Team Sunbeamers Members "Subject To Change" Due to "Bid Me" Results

When the results of Team Sunbeamers' last three "Bid Me" fundraiser events were calculated last Friday, two of the volunteers, Shockwave Yareach and Cynthia Farshore, were out of town. Both are back, and when they showed up at Club Cutlass last night, they were sporting their new looks. For the next few weeks, they will be each other's respective avatar type, Shockwave a goat and Cynthia a wolfess.  "Nobody use the teleporters, except one at a time," Shockwave mused. Cynthia had the title "Subject to Change" over her name, commenting this felt like a bigger change from when she was a fox last year.

The "Bid Me" time periods for Shockwave and Cynthia, as well as Liska Fuchs and yours truly, end on April 19. Rita Mariner, whom is stuck as a pink bunny only until April 5, may do another "Bid Me" soon. As of now, the Relay team has raised over 89,000 Linden dollars.

Cynthia and Shockwave's "Bid Me" Period From Relay Season Ends

In a sense, it was the last event for Team Sunbeamers, the Relay for Life team of the Sunweaver community. During the Relay season, Cynthia Farshore, known for her anthro nannygoat avatar, volunteered for a "Bid Me Foxy" fundraising event for the team. Shockwave soon followed up with his "Bid Me Goat" fundraiser. The two "Bid-Me" events raised over 62,000 Lindens for the team when the totals were tallied on Friday June 15, and helped it reach Sapphire status that weekend. But they were stuck in their new looks for twelve weeks.

When the Relay season ended in July, Rita offered to let Cynthia and Shockwave off the hook as technically all Relay events were over. But the two answered that a promise was a promise and they would stick to it. So they stayed in their "Bid Me" looks until the night of Friday September 7 at the "Lemon/Lime" dance at Club Cutlass when the 12 weeks were finally up. For the first hour, they danced about as usual.

At 7PM, Cynthia vanished in a cloud of pigeons flying in every direction. Then a few minutes later, both reappeared in another cloud of pigeons and red smoke, both in their usual appearances. "Showmanship counts," Shockwave would comment. The two then resumed their dance.

And so, the last of Team Sunbeamer's events was truly over. While the team is proud to have reached Emerald rank for the first time ever, it is also tired. While the team will be doing Bid-Mes and other fundraisers next year, there will probably be no games like this year's "Cancer Shooting Train." But the next season is months away, and Cynthia and Shockwave have a few things to work on in the meantime, such as the Caledon Downs sim and the relocated Goblin Cave,

The "Two Vixens And a Wolf" Radio Show

While the Golden Age of radio may be in the past, the Internet has given those wanting their own radio show new possibilities as one can easily make radio streams over the 'net and broadcast and listen to them there. One new Internet radio show is "Two Vixens and a Wolf" of All Fur Radio. As it turns out, the three show hosts are in Second Life and have a station here inworld. Bixyl Shuftan got together with the three people at their station, Svetlana Snowpaw (Sarah Golem), Roxy Noir-Snowpaw (creatureofthenight2011 Resident) and Greigh VonGottreich (Greigh Dingo). They had a few things to say about how it got started, and what it takes to keep it going.
