Semi-unofficially -- mostly because no one has stopped me -- I build things and add activities at the Isle of
Lesbos (
IOL), often getting approval after the fact. Like the skydiving center. At one time it was an attraction in the
IOL Mall
sim. When the mall was recently redesigned and rebuilt there was no provision for sky diving so I simply added it to the main Isle. No one said
take it out so I left it there with only minor tweaks here and there. Sensing no further objections I beefed it up today. That is a genuine
Cubey Terra jump chair in the foreground. The
original base jump at 300 meters (250m above target) is still in place and like nearly all activities on the Isle, the facility is free to use. In the background you can see the free ice skating pond I built.
Not free but nonetheless still fun is
fishing! After adding the
7Seas Fishing kit to both the mall
sim and parts of the main Isle not too long ago and then telling the owner about it, I've been given the go-ahead (and some cash!) to hold fishing contests. This is a picture from one held yesterday. Turnout is usually decent, which is good as the owner hopes this build traffic in the mall
sim. I might try increasing the prize and an "all-
nakie" tournament is in my mind for the beach on the main Isle. If anyone has suggestions for making the events more fun, drop a note card on me in-world or leave a comment on this post.
I might schedule a
nakie fishing tournament before my
Nakie Beach Party in June. This party is held the first Saturday of each month from 3-5pm
SLT and, of course, it is Ladies-Only. With the nudity and a prize starting at L$3,000 the party is usually popular and sometimes gathers cheaters. The Saturday parties always start with a prize that large, but sometimes they grow. The 17 May party rapidly built up to a L$25,000 prize with over 60 folks attending.
Many of them originally showed up for our big draw, DJ
Kuthola Homewood. If you need a music at an event, contact her. She's awesome.
Look for future posts about IOL ... we are always growing and adapting to make our sisters happy.
When my PC laptop died I had scattered and limited backups so quite a few things are gone forever. This image turned up, much to my giggly pleasure, for this goes way back into my life in our virtual world. The Memorial Park in Nangrim was on it's way to being huge and I had my first in-world girlfriend. We had invited a couple friends to just relax in the Park with some Classical music on the stream. Someone put on wings and started dancing so we all put on wings and danced. Then someone released particles and the clothes started coming off. It was a beautiful night. We danced and made small talk and just enjoyed being there for quite some time. Serendipity. Happy serendipity.

The landscaping is ho-hum. The quality of most of the build is pedestrian. The club is fairly typical, but "Club Extreme Gaming Waterfall Store Dancing Zyngo Like Games" (SLurl) has three sculptures from the legendary Starax Statosky. Go figure. There are other nice pieces in the sim but three rare finds like this demon, orca, and Kong all in one place? Wow.
