Seeking Lucidity

There’s a new club where to spend some good time with friends under the influence of exquisite music: Lucidity. Owned by Star Fairymeadow, she DJs every Tuesday night from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. SLT. Occasional guest appearances by some well known DJs and other DJ debutantes can happen during the week. Come join the fun at Winterfell Absinthe [slurl].

Feudal SL

Am I talking about an RP sim? No. Someone has expressed SL land tenure/ownership and politics are a reflection of feudalism:

A tenant seised of land had sworn homage to the lord from whom he held. In exchange, the lord symbolically delivered the tenant into possession. Thereafter, the tenant owed the lord various services and feudal incidents, and in return the lord was obliged to defend his possession against outsiders to the relationship. Every element of this system maps cleanly onto Second Life. A user swears homage by clicking “I agree” to Linden’s terms and conditions; Linden delivers her into possession by changing an appropriate database entry. She owes tier fees in place of feudal incidents; Linden defends fer possession via software-based access controls.

OMFG! OMFG!

Yes, it usually means that. Sometimes, it means OMFG and nothing else.  That’s the name of a line of products –a store– targeted at the Steampunk, Post-Apocalyptic, nomadic, wastelandish SL habitants and other hobo artists. Not so long ago, all this stuff used to cost hundreds upon hundreds of Linden Dollars. Today, for reasons I still don’t know (I just learned of this sale a few minutes ago), Perefim Cao, owner of OMFG!, decided to offer all this gear to whoever wants to take it for L$1 per item. OMFG! WHAT? Yes, as you read it: only 1L per item, and there are dozens, most of them really cool looking. The bunch includes armors, weapons, vehicles, clothing, eyes, tinies, whole sets… this and that, both scripted and unscripted. You end up paying some L$150 if you get everything, or a little bit more if you decide to give something to the tip jar and contribute to the cause. Go, visit OMFG! in Forsaken City and get whatever you want (slurl).

Update:
I found out why Perefim Cao is doing this dollarbie sale. Winter Jefferson blogged about it three days ago (gosh! it seems I need to spend more time reading the blogroll). Read the explanation in Jefferson’s blog, In Cold Blood (he’s a vampire, so what did you expect?).
