Craft's Sixteenth

 The Jubilee building on Craft is up and running and celebrating sixteen years of Opensim. It's an impressive achievement not only in technology but also in terms of community. 

The big party is on Tuesday, 27 January and the fun begins at 12 noon SLT, that's 9pm in most of Europe, on sim Jubilee, HG Address at the end of the post as always.

Craft owner Licu Rau is proud of his Sardinian stubbornness and credits that for some of the grid's success, but he's the first to say that it wouldn't be anything more than a private plaything without the residents.

That's why each year on sim Jubilee there is more than just a birthday party, there's also a fabulous display in the Expo Center, featuring work by people who have been here from the early days, and those who have called the grid home only for a couple of years. 

Safari Goes into Fantasia

Safine Mahoe's brand new sim Fantasia on Friends Grid is a magnificent new landscape and Safine very kingly offered the HG Safari group the first look. It's 16 regions of woodland, swamp, waterways and meadows, peppered with houses and creatures all of a fantastic kind, whether it's from folklore, literature, or her own imagination. All was perfectly planned for our trip as the second destination  of the week, when about 20 minutes before we were supposed to go there, it turned out that the region watn' letting people in. Very frustrating for Safine, since all had been fine just about an hour earlier when we had checked the LMs were working. 

Safine outdid herself by getting us to the region despite the glitch

There was no time to stand around asking ourselves why this had happened so Safine very rapidly got busy trying to stop the region telling people they were 'banned' - that was not at all what was happening! But as we all know, the standard messages of Opensim when something isn't working can be much ruder and less informative than desired! With swiftness and care, Safine quickly worked to make it possible for as many of us who were willing to power through the situation to get to her gorgeous new realm, and most of us did, including the newest Safarian, Neko Littlepaws who moments before had been accompanying us around the wonderful Exodus sim on Groovyverse - you can read about that tour here.

Our fairy guide, Safine Mahoe

Safine Mahoe: first off, thank you for coming......I am truly honored! I apologize for the access issue, it was fine two hours ago

Thirza Ember: yes that's opensim for ya

Tina Bey: lol

James Atlloud: yeah - we are used to it

Dorena Bree: a mystery wrapped inside a mystery

Forest Azure: those are the best

Dorena.Bree: I think so too

Clowning Around

 When it comes to detail-rich builds with an authentic feel of the real place and a quick rez, they aren't clowning around on Groovyverse which was our first stop for this week's Safari. The destination was sim Exodus, and about seven or eight of us joined the locals in a parking lot in central Nevada, which is a really good copy of a real life place in the town of Tonopah in Nevada, USA. It's called the Clown Motel - check out that link and you'll see how close this pixel version is - with a twist of its own!

The inworld version is part of a multi region build representing the desert lands east of California, and if those gloriously alien looking mountains in the distance remind you of a previous Safari it's because we came to this general area three years ago to learn about Burning Man, the virtual and the real celebrations. 

Doctor Dave at the Clown Motel

Much has happened since that memorable visit (people still talk about the amazing train ride!) and we were ready to be guided by Doctor Dave around the whole darn place and to learn a lot about a lot of stuff, including art, rl crossover, travel, ghosts, and of course, clowns. You can't be burning if you're not learning. 

Free Radek-als

 Vbinnia Radek is an Opensim legend. Her region Steam on OSGrid is one of those places that in the early days was a haven of fantastic assets when assets were like rare earths.

Arriving on the region can present a few small hiccups, you may end up at 128,128 which is the default landing on a regular sized sim, right in the middle. Steam was regular size but it's been improved into a VAR however opensim doesn't always remember that and will deposit you at the traditional landing spot which happens to be underwater. DOn't panic take a deep breath and cam up and out and you'll soon see the vast port and the industrial steampunk landscape behind it.

We met at an incongruously countrified spot on such a townie region, a little camp fire in a wood.

Vbinnia Radek: Hello every one :)

Forest Azure: hello vbinnia

Dorena Bree: Hi

Thirza Ember:  you have inspired so many of us, Vbinnia. This region - from forever - has been one of the best places in Opensim... i'm a fangirl LOL

Vbinnia Radek: chuckles! glad someone is... right now I need to inspire myself

Hel of a Trip

 This week we kicked off with a visit to a set of sims steeped in nordic tradition. Due to some very last minute changes in the itinerary we went to a whole different set of interesting spots, some of which rezzed for us, and some not so much. For many, just getting to the sim was a struggle but we battled through valiantly, using the Welcome region on Ignis as a stepping stone, plus improvised LMs, IMs, teleports, swearing, and sheer determination.

The gorgeous Dragon Towers, maybe we will get to visit another time.

There was a big and very last minute change to the itinerary; instead of visiting the land of the Dragon Towers as planned we went to see the Viking equivalent of hell... thankfully the people planning on joining the tour had gathered at the clubhouse so it was easy to contact everyone who got lost or stuck and get them back with our tour guides, Nadir rae and Max Well, who also built this wonderful place

Max Well: First PART — The Gates of Hel,  Gnipahellir and Garm: Journey Through the Nine Worlds of Yggdrasil. The light flickers gently. The ground beneath your feet seems alive, pulsing with slow rhythms, like an ancient heart. Around you rises a colossal trunk, so vast that its summit is lost in the heavens. You are at the foot of Yggdrasil, the World Tree.

Daydream Believers

Our second stop for week one of the new season of Safari was on Kitely.

'Synthetic Dreams' is the art event organized by Koshari Mahana, Kimm Starr and Cooper Swizzle. This is one of two Opensim 'pavilions' participating in The Wrong Biennale  the other was curated by Art Blue and featured heavily at the 2025 OSCC. For the HG Safari OSCC tour last December, we took a trip around Synthetic Dreams, which is on Kitely Expo Center, and there's a blog post about this place when it first opened, so for some of us this was a return visit, but because of the overwhelming nature of the sim - a whopping 15 artists with multiple, complex installations are here  - it was definitely the case to return and try to take in a bit more of what's going on.

Arriving at Synthetic Dreams

Kimm Starr: We want to thank Thirza for bringing the hypergrid Safari to Synthetic Dreams here in Kitely.  Synthetic Dreams is ½ of our Pavilion for the Wrong Biennale. The Wrong Biennale is a real world art show seen by millions of people world wide!  This years theme is AI in Art.  Please take a moment to landmark this Pavilion.   We will visit all of the represented exhibits to meet the artists and have a look at their work. Feel free to ask the Artists questions about their work.  Please come back and experience all of the exhibits at your leisure.  First up - Forest Azure, Enjoy the tour!

Forest Azure: this build symbolizes the struggle of man versus machine, which is my thing with AI and art. 

Light Entertainment

Getting back into the swing of things after the break for the holidays is always tough. I for example forgot to turn on 'Save Local Chat' at our first stop on this week, but the visit was unforgettable. 

A good sized crowd showed up to sample the joys of Luminaria a region on Littlefield grid that opens only for a few days a year. But before we got to the good bit... it was get the LMs time!

Safari Returns

 The HG Safari tours return this week on Wednesday 7 January at 12 noon Grid time (9pm in Central Europe) with the usual double bill of destinations. As always, a host or guide will be waiting for us at each stop because sure, you can visit these places by yourself at any time, but it's even more fascinating to be there with the person who built, or owns, or looks after the sim and who can give you some context to what you're looking at. And traveling with friends makes it a road trip.

Defying drowning on Friends Grid

It's a fine human paradox that on one hand we're all trying to get away and carve out our own little paradise of expression and freedom, but on the other hand we're gregarious animals and feel the need to explain, share, and party together. Sims come alive when they're full of real people not just animesh or NPCs. 

That's the fun of group trips and kind of cancels out the more frustrating bits of herd-hypergridding: lag, missing bits, having a time constraint, and did I mention lag.

Calendar Views

To say that each year there is a HG Safari Calendar would be a big fat lie; some years there were two, and some years there was no calendar at all. 

They usually break down into two types, the landscape type and the landscape-with-Opensim-person. The latter always takes loads more time to prepare and is always rushed into the final weeks of the year, due to a lack of forethought which I promise every year to conquer. A minute of pre-festive stress  although it's a lot of fun. Come to think of it, it has created as a by-product some great photos of Safari friends  like Virtual Dreamz publisher Sunbeam Magic, musician Truelie Telling, hub-mistress Spike Sol, burlesque choreographer Jessie Campbell, painter Lucy Afarensis, and monarch of PBR, Luna Lunaria. Some choose to no longer come inworld for RL reasons, some are now occupying a place of glory in the AfterSim,

The much missed Safari regular and painter
Lucy Afarensis was our December pinup back in 2016

This year, since there has been so much else going on and time just ran out, the 2026 calendar is a straight up landscape offering, with lots of greyscale and hopefully one or two place you've either never visited, or have only explored a little bit, or forgotten - it's an invitation to get out and better know our hyperverse. 

Mal Burns was one of our Calendar models back in 2018. He passed away earlier this year.

The Calendar script was completely overhauled in 2024 by snowbody Cortes (no monthly fees or prompts required) with some elegant improvements in the blue menu including an Info button that gets you a Notecard. This contains a short description of the places in the pictures - most important this year, since the photos have no superscription - and it gives you a LM to boot.

The first HG Safari calendar came out in 2016 and the month part was a 'paper' version, part of the texture, so if there were any mistakes or additions as to events they couldn't be added except with a lot of fuss. But in a way they make better artefacts of a time now passed. You can see copies of all - or most - of the old calendars in the HG Safari archive building on the hill behind the clubhouse 'waiting room' on HG Safari region.

Today it's generally a dynamic calendar linked to HG Safari's public Google Calendar which (annoyingly for some) shows not the specific destinations for each week, but simply when there will be a Safari trip. The same applies, you will have noticed, for the publicity on Discord and FB.  

Why?

That's because there are often last minute changes and it makes more work for me to have to correct a lot of social media posts, far quicker for you just to come to the Clubhouse and be guaranteed to have the last minute correct info for each trip.

Since this is a purely inworld product, National and seasonal holidays don't appear. You'll find other things, like upcoming live shows of Inworld Review, the dates of the next HIE event, and the birth dates or anniversaries of many many opensim grids (although ore than a few will tell you their grids have had so many relaunches there is no 'true' birthday for their grid), so you can celebrate. It has the date of the first HG jump by Crista Lopes, it took a lot of persuading to get her to go back through her records and find out the exact day.

If you would like a copy of this year's calendar you can grab it at the HG Safari marketplace, just south of the landing point on the sim.

HG Address: grid.hgsafari.org:58002:HG Safari

Thanks Loru for pointing out there was an error in the grid address!!

Safari '25

 It's been quite a year here in Opensim hasn't it? Lots of changes big and small, some of them dramatic, like the Great Asset Wipe of OSGrid in the spring, some spectacular like the month long Opensim World's Fair over on Wolf Territories Grid, and the art presentations at HIE. 

MorlitaM and Cherry Manga's amazing art performance at HIE 2025

We've had tech fun, in the form of the gradual transitioning to PBR friendly viewers and talk of a bunch of alternative solutions to Vivox. 

Mal Burns memorial event on Craft in October 2025

There have been weddings and inaugurations and milestone grid birthdays, and of course drama of varying types - reflecting the mood of the real world, perhaps. Then we've also had the genuinely sad news of the passing of friends, among them a couple of names known all over opensim, Mal Burns and Luna Lunaria. 

Luna Lunaria memorial event on WTG in November 2025

HG Safari has grown as a grid this year. Thanks to Snowbody Cortes, we now have a  HG Safari website that tells you a little bit about the various regions and projects that are going on here, from Bianconiglio to HIE to Cornflakes Tribute. 

It explains a bit about the purpose of the grid, which is not to get more residents, but rather to showcase the possibilities of opensim and the fabulous destinations out there, as well as to bring people together, to understand and appreciate each other a little bit better.

Jimmy Olsen on Inworld Review

The grid has also become home to Inworld Review, on HIE region, with episodes twice a month featuring some of the many interesting residents of Opensim. In our first four episodes, we've featured event organizers, a renowned artist, a much loved content provider and a legendary scripter. Check out the new Inworld Review Youtube channel to see those interviews and why not subscribe while you're there.

The next season of Safari starts in just a few day's time, on January 7 at the usual time 12 noon SLT at the clubhouse, grid.hgsafari.org:58002:HG Safari so join us if you can, we have so much more to see in Opensim!

 

Strange Christmas

Ange and Nani have done it again, they've made a Christmas Hunt that will surprise and intrigue you.
 The party starts on 17 December at 12 noon SLT, or 9pm in Europe. The opening party will give you a chance to join old friends and maybe make some new ones, as you tour the sim, starting by these golden baubles. 

How do Ange and Nani work? After a decade and a half of creative collaboration, you can be sure they are able to anticipate each other's imagination. Nani is usually the one responsible for the layout and overarching style of the region, Ange supplies all sorts of mesh, and also scripts the place up, setting out the gifts.

Thanks for the Magic

 2025 has flown by, as years tend to do, and another three seasons of Safari trips are in our rear view mirror. Mostly, a Safari season lasts ten weeks, but this year the second season was just seven weeks, making a total of 27 weeks, with 53 destinations including a two hour visit to the Mal Burns region on Craft grid. 

The memorial party for Mal Burns in October featured eulogies by a dozen of his friends.
Missed it? You can watch the event here on Youtube

Last Wednesday, talented pianist, and grid owner Marlon Wayne invited the Safari group over to Pangea to enjoy a live music event with lots of seasonal pieces. It was such a treat to hear the music and stop and think for a moment about the great year we've had in Opensim.

On sim Lappland, enjoying the party...
in RL Marlon plays a Steinway and the music he treated us to was divine.

Where did we go this year? HG Safari tours visited folk on Spacegrid, CCI grid, Kinky Haven, ArtDestiny Grid, Dismayland, SV3D grid, Bloodmoonpack, VVM, Candorsworld, Shipyards grid, Creanovale, Maze grid, Genesis RP Grid, Virtual Learning Village, Wyldwood Bayou,  Mobius, Friends Grid, Dorenasworld, Bubblesz, Newlifeitaly, Tenth Dimension grid, Counterearth, DWGrid, Kitely,  and a bunch of visits to OSGrid, Pangea, Wolf Territories Grid, Neverworld, Winxtropia, Craft, and Alternate Metaverse Grid. 

The Charm of Draconia

 This, of course, is the season of getting stuff. But for those few who already have stuff and would like to get enchanted rather than stocked up, Opensim offers many opportunities in tune with the natural world. Generally nature with a Northern bias, since so many of us live up here, these months are the cold bit of the year.

Winter stirs all the fearful instincts innate in humans. It's the death of the year, of the productive cycle, and our ancestors were full of doubts. Will the sun return, will the food supply last, will the cold or sickness defeat the group; this is the stuff of legends. On the other hand, the changing landscape offers a paradox. In place of the dominant sun, other lights take over, and we see the world in a different way, or perhaps, we see another world that coexists with the bold daylight landscape, one that becomes visible only when the sun is in nadir. Then, we have time to reflect that there is more to this existence than meets the day-to-day eye.

Bink Draconia is one of the best artists working in Opensim and her regions on Pangea are beautiful, thoughtful, ingenious, and atmospheric to a point where you feel charmed when, in the shared environment (the mist is essential) you go for a wander...or do I mean wonder... around  Stella Polaris. 

The wedding zone, Stella Polaris

It's pure wonderland. In part it is a party destination, with a wedding area shown here, and a dance floor with a chessboard theme, and other tableaux gemming the woodland, under starlight. But that's only one aspect of it, the social side. 

Beyond that it's a wistful, misty forest where the ground sparkles with eerie lights in the air and water, and the meadowland is just a little underwater, enough to create that liminal sensation, between day and night, dry land and swamp, the spooky and the sweetly sentimental, with places for a romantic tete a tete or a solitary saunter.

Winterfair is Coming

Pirate and shipwright extraordinaire Trouble Ahead together with One Andonly and Cata Raven, the owners of Catronian Archipelago, have organized another event for the merchants of Kitely this winter. The address is as usual at the end of the post. Bear in mind, you can't just jump direct to the fair, you have to go through the Catronian Archipelago landing point, and it's on Kitely so as you well know, if nobody's on the sim, it'll take a sec until the region comes online.

Popping over ahead of the opening day which is 14 December, it was great to observe that the skybox with this event on it is already looking super seasonal. It's a positively chilly townscape with lots of snow and frozen (and skatable) canals, and of course a schooner. 

You may remember we voyaged here on Safari  back in May 2024. So many islands and sail related adventures to be had with this predominantly roleplaying group!

As regards Winterfair, you'll encounter quite a lot of brands and names you'll have heard of if you browse the Kitely website; most of the stalls push you onto Kitely Market rather than have buyable boxes, and that probably makes things easier for the vendors. 

To make the event even more festive, like the Christmas Market over on Bloonmoonpackgrid, there is even a prize for the best build to be announced during the opening party with DJ Melanie Auxifur.

Too Right

We all know that two wrongs don't make a right, but did you know that many rights make a wrong - when the 'rights' are well crafted art installations, and the 'wrong' is , well, The Wrong Biennial... but let's get Kimm Starr to explain what's going on, she's one of the curators of a fabulous art exhibition on Kitely.

Kimm Starr: The Wrong Biennale is a bi-annual show seen by millions of people worldwide. This edition of The Wrong is about AI and the artists' use of it in their work. Seems like an obvious choice for them to make, since AI is coming at us 90 miles an hour. We saw it as an opportunity to show the world that what we create in OpenSim is not only art, but an art medium in its own right. We made a pavilion called "Synthetic Dreams" which consists of two parts. One half is a dedicated website and the other half is an in-world gallery. The show opened on November 1st, 2025.

Thirza Ember: Tell us how you came to choose to do the show on Kitely.

AMV Six

Cataplexia Numbers: Hi Thirza! Welcome to the AMV Birthday region... this is Cafe Espresso and Town Meeting Stage. 

The grid's 6th birthday celebration is on December 6 and the fun starts at 6am SLT, you can find all the details on the AMV website front page. The region has various stages and meeting areas.

Cataplexia Numbers:This is where we will do Taffy's inauguration as mayor, and Desy's retirement, then on to the living stage. 

The Region address is (yes, you know before I say it) at the end of the post. If you're admiring the lovely setup on this region, it was made by Ted Junior and Chris McCracken. Both have made many fine regions in Opensim, for example, you may have seen Ted's build Creative Landform, a sort of tour of beautiful places around the world, and Chris is known for builds like Raceway Island, an automotive paradise. After the Mayoral ceremony from 9 to 10am Grid time, the Birthday bash will continue with three hours of music with  Clan Escotia, Cataplexia, and Icky Thump.

Thirza Ember: Do you remember what sims you first had on the grid when it opened back 6 years ago? are any of those originals intact?

Cataplexia Numbers: Yes. Cliff started out with two, there was not much on them. When I came I brought a dozen VARs I had on OS Grid...  Indigo, Wintervale (now Winterfest), Summervale, Koryphon to name a few ...

Thirza Ember: It is quite a leap of faith to pass your regions on to a person with a new grid - what was special about Cliff that made you sure you were doing the right thing?

Cataplexia.Numbers: Well I had met Cliff back in InWorldz. I had a very busy life there, I was the InWorldz events coordinator, and I had many clubs, and a school of enlightenment. Cliff and I were next door neighbors. I have known him 11 years now.  Its never been hard for me to trust Cliff, he's been so genuine with me since day one

Cat and Cliff

Cataplexia Numbers: When we got married on OSgrid, AMV was called V World... it was not really public yet, was just a few weeks old, and so we literally began it together.

Thirza Ember: you went from one of the shortest grid names to one of the longest!!

Clifford Hanger: yup

Cataplexia Numbers: we just changed the name because I had spend many years building that brand.

Inside one of the oldest buildings on sim Manipura

Cat and Cliff showed me one of those very early regions, still online, though in part, of course, rebuilt over the years. There's still a bit of the original construction, a prim building where they do the belly dancing. The vast ground floor space is dark and ornate like an ancient temple. Above, under the roof, is a densely decorated ballroom where Clan Escotia has been known to do a set in the past.

Thirza Ember: How many people joined you when you started? or was the idea just to have a place of your own.

Cataplexia Numbers: my renters mostly. I had 3 regions of rentals there for free, 66 renters - Marune Estates - so some came for the ride. Others just found the place and liked it, others still came from other places i lived, like InWorldz.

Clifford Hanger: they came from everywhere

Thirza Ember: your regions are very colorful and imaginative, I bet that drew them here... and so Cliff, when did you think, "this is really going to be something, it has taken off" ?

Clifford Hanger: yesterday lol ...no, seriously, it was during our 2nd year. At one point we couldn't create regions fast enough.

Thirza Ember: and did you learn from the mistakes you may have seen on other grids?

Clifford Hanger: on how not to do it yes... we wanted to be visible, we wanted lots of space, no residents next to each other.

 From one of the oldest sims on the grid, we moved over to a region that exemplifies today's Alternate Metaverse Grid, in the eyes of its owners. Metasea is a huge 12x12 VAR which is principally water, with lots of room for sailing, fishing and other water sports, as well as camping. The great indoors, indoors.

Cataplexia and Cliff are an affectionate team

Thirza Ember: Cliff, if you could give your younger self a bit of advice about getting the grid going, what would it be?

Clifford Hanger: automate things if you can! Also - When you start out with a grid of your own, you think you can borrow bits from other grids you've been involved with. But in reality every grid is different they all have their own special needs, so you have to make your setup fit our unique set of circumstances. On the whole, "Don't Panic!" would be my best advice. 

The AMV landing point sim contains information for finding your way around the grid.

Clifford Hanger: Be transparent with your residents when things go wrong, they will be patient, they know that sometimes things break... and cultivate good relationships with your service providers and tech people. For example,  the one time we were hacked, we were back up after five hours.  Another time the main grid server died on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks to the good business relationships and contacts we had developed, we were able to get someone to build an identical server, and in just four hours all was back up.

With affection, teamwork, and commitment to each other and to their residents, it's no wonder that AMV grid has grown and matured over the past six years. Here's wishing them many more to come.

HG Address: alternatemetaverse.com:8002:AMV Birthday

Luna

The last words Luna Lunaria wrote to me were: 'Yes, it's for the community'. 

She was a delicate, almost fairylike apparition with long flowing hair, the longest and whitest hair in the Metaverse, with that gentle swirling movement that stood out in any group photo or video. And there are so many of those group shots. 

Ataraxia, Craft-world grid

Here she is perfectly perched, with Cherry Manga, on one of the roman wall paintings on Ataraxia region on Craft, a place of calm and serenity. 

To lose a friend like Luna, for the Opensim community to lose such a significant contributor and supporter of all we do, is a terrible blow, but of course nothing to compare to the sadness and devastation of the real life family that is coping with this sudden bereavement. Our hearts go out to them, with tears in our eyes.

Phigitting at the MdM

 Light and compact, brightly colored, with three prongs in play, and never still for a moment... the buzzword 'phygital' put fidget spinners into my mind ...oh, the naughties! 'Phygital' is a portmanteau term used to describe, until someone thinks of a less clunky term (and please do!), the fusing of activities going on at the same time in the physical world and on digital platforms. 

Come to think of it though, the Museo del Metaverso is compact, brightly colored, with three prongs in play - it's active in Craft grid in Opensim, and Spatial, a corporate-facing immersive VR platform, and in Second Life. 

Judging by the past year's activities at the Museo del Metaverso, called MdM for short, its founder Rosanna Galvani has been spinning up a huge success story with art shows, workshops, exhibitions, presentations, and conversations that bring together the realities in a masterclass of organization and commitment to education and art. 

Seen here at the Museo, dressed in dark business slacks with her signature top hat, Rosanna cuts a typically modern Italian figure of elegance with a touch of whimsicality that lifts the mood. The HG Address of the MdM is of course at the end of the post, where it belongs.

Rosanna Galvani

Rosanna Galvani: 2025 was both a fruitful and transitional year for us. My vision for virtual worlds is that they should be more than just a "niche" space but that they should take on greater cultural density: artists, curatorial projects, transmedia collaborations—all of this is growing. Over the past year, the Museo del Metaverso has become more 'phygital' with a range of voices and languages and different events. These include digital clothing, 3D installations, and live discussions between participants in real and virtual worlds.

Where Eagles Dare

 Our second stop on this final Safari of the season was on Kitely, to see a build by Karima Hoisan and Dale Innes. A few problems, because Kitely blocks a whole lot of the smaller grids, which is a shame. It's also a shame that Karima's regions are some of the few on Kitely that are readily accessible to hypergrid art-lovers and explorers, but we make the most of the Hoisan-Innes generosity, talent, and style.

Karima Hoisan and Dale Innis

Star Ravenhurst: Hi Karima and Dale. Finally rezzed
James Atlloud: Hello
Karima Hoisan: Welcome to The Mountain, please take a nc, it has LMs of some places here

The group gradually arriving on Kitely

Thirza Ember: Karima we just need time to arrive and rez, we are not all here yet, and one or two of us are never all there... like myself
James Atlloud: some are signing the Kitely waiver... lol
Karima Hoisan: ohh boy haha
Dale Innis: haha no rush
Star Ravenhurst: I often have to go to the Welcome Center first on Kitely. Then I can go to where I want to go
Nara Nook: Neo tried welcome, think he is trying a different avatar on another grid now
Thirza Ember: on Kitely, it's a pain in the butt... if there is nobody on the sim, then you have to begin on Welcome, but if there are people on the region and the sim is spooled up, you can jump direct
Star Ravenhurst: There have been a few issues getting here lately
Nara Nook: Neo made it
Neo Nook: Weird, looks like Kitely does not like my home grid
Dale Innis: Glad you made it!
Star Ravenhurst: YAY!

Safari Gets Steamy

Lampi, Marlon, Tutz and Karsten

Mys Tigerpaw: thank you for all the clothes Lampi... it is all thanks to Lampi :0)

Marlon Wayne -> en: only karsten looks looooool as always 

Karsten Runningbear: oh i can change :)

Lampithaler Artist -> en: A warm welcome everyone, it’s great to see you. 

Karsten Runningbear: Hello all are welcome

Francisco Koolhoven: Hi everyone

Dings Digital: steampunk insects

Tutz Zabelin: Welcome everyone to  Steampunk sim at Pangea grid. I am always very happy when Safari comes to Pangea . The last time we met was on my The Waterfall Swamp sim. I am happy about the comments I received then, and I am grateful for them.

Dings Digital: it was a great sim
