To obtain images in this software, the user needs to describe in text what they want to be in the image, which may vary in styles, reference artists, materials, eras, colors, etc. The options are endless<span><a name='more'></a></span> and you can obtain the desired image with great precision, sometimes more easily, other times not so much. The images are described in a space intended for textual description, known as "PROMPT". In fact, the writing prompt is the art that the artist creates with this type of software. It's like a literary text, where the author tries to refer the reader to places, environments, situations, introduce characters, etc. The difference is that with this software the text is transformed into images.</div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCB5lCcOgwL3lBVrY3mwClciQLhnBm6Nx6C0DfIXp0fmtdXZ-ahWGq8-zvi4wMHtMtq9KjQ0cFCoWGcqKgkg-OVGI9GbYGNegEzH2cYqcKldW1ogf04com6Ii1437126c8xOOSnz_8YjtmrJ5VTbb7YmIchIs_adX1WEUFYtaOsZtHJ6kAs_dgd5piCVc/s1576/week%2010_009.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="1576" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCB5lCcOgwL3lBVrY3mwClciQLhnBm6Nx6C0DfIXp0fmtdXZ-ahWGq8-zvi4wMHtMtq9KjQ0cFCoWGcqKgkg-OVGI9GbYGNegEzH2cYqcKldW1ogf04com6Ii1437126c8xOOSnz_8YjtmrJ5VTbb7YmIchIs_adX1WEUFYtaOsZtHJ6kAs_dgd5piCVc/w640-h376/week%2010_009.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><div><b>Pat Babii: </b>All the images displayed here in the building to my right were made by me and almost all prompts are available to anyone who wants to see them and find out how the images were generated.

At the back of the room on the second floor there is a big black box that explains in English and Portuguese the subject covered in this section. There is also a section on this floor that I called other crazy ideas.

A fair amount of rubberbanding inevitably accompanies long walks where there are a lot of people and we are stressing the server. It's less atmospheric to just tp but that can often at least give you a fighting chance to not crash. The Safari crew like to sit, because it gives us the quite possibly voodoo illusion that we are making life easier for the server. Plus it makes us look zen as we wait for the world to regain its textures. Everyone's own personal lag is as subjective as a spiritual experience.

I’ve a broadly Christian background, but I’ve no particular involvement in the religious life or commitment to it. When the kids were small, we use to go for Sunday picnics to the RL Mount Grace Priory, about 25 miles away, and that’s what started my interest in the site. Lots of happy memories! So I got hold of the site plans as surveyed by English Heritage, and used them to construct this simulation, years ago when there were no mesh or sculpties: this is largely system prims!

I was aware that there were various projects that were aimed at integrating Mumble into opensim use, and of course over recent years, it is becoming clear that the vivox solution for opensim voice is not a long term and reliable thing, it could go away any time; and of course we are grateful to them that they have provided this service to us for free for so many years.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhesDQxVzsiB-jSgEOwz2QBQxhOGyf3njoHRFMZmpZtRh_3Zd0XnlmWXIHzeiM_Z7luyRcGUstl6swLxIQNb380VP3_GvYxiAEiX-IfsY9lV7CgR8JvfNGLOoOdyHvjRGihhKBDktwyU2S-W0W4rfud2DVZeu-1vPf7EGd-cc6isJRXXpfDAew1oZfKQ/s723/snowbody%20(3).png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="723" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhesDQxVzsiB-jSgEOwz2QBQxhOGyf3njoHRFMZmpZtRh_3Zd0XnlmWXIHzeiM_Z7luyRcGUstl6swLxIQNb380VP3_GvYxiAEiX-IfsY9lV7CgR8JvfNGLOoOdyHvjRGihhKBDktwyU2S-W0W4rfud2DVZeu-1vPf7EGd-cc6isJRXXpfDAew1oZfKQ/s320/snowbody%20(3).png" width="320" /></a></div><b>Snowbody Cortes:</b> When I heard there was going to be an edition of Inworld Review talking about Mumble for Opensim, I began thinking about strategies for bringing Mumble into Opensim in a way that would be low tech and easy for users to figure out, maybe just as an independent tool to be used in parallel with the virtual world, which was the way I had used it all those years ago. The best solution would be if Mumble was integrated into the Viewer, of course, so that the user doesn't have to do anything. That seemed a big ask... </div><div><b>Snowbody Cortes:</b> So, going from what would be the most simple way right up to the most sophisticated way to bring Mumble into opensim, I came up with 4 possibilities. That is what these slides illustrate, just to demonstrate the possibilities and to invite people to think about ways it might be made to work. <br />I'm not saying these are the only solutions, but more like a set of ideas that can be useful. Opensim is not a monolith. the people have lots of different needs and their own ideas about how they want to run their grids. and for sure, people with more detailed knowledge of opensimulator code may have a lot to contribute in terms of coming up with a module... but let me explain the basics first.<span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLdUVk3JBgmpZgJ06b7G8eMU6udEknlqKF7QRObHJ7hz9NspaxjcG1MipMxgwd34sdFbiTzt69HvNSS47Sdqe1y4VvV36HVuCDnH-rCi598raBy0FCNWHAEAO_xXN5Mm2vXOeLovDTOB3YC57dz3MUn4J-8IkBswfoPBMy5D9U-Qh3A0ImvdedsAoFMI/s1058/Slide_1.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="1058" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLdUVk3JBgmpZgJ06b7G8eMU6udEknlqKF7QRObHJ7hz9NspaxjcG1MipMxgwd34sdFbiTzt69HvNSS47Sdqe1y4VvV36HVuCDnH-rCi598raBy0FCNWHAEAO_xXN5Mm2vXOeLovDTOB3YC57dz3MUn4J-8IkBswfoPBMy5D9U-Qh3A0ImvdedsAoFMI/w640-h360/Slide_1.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLIDE 1</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Mumble and Murmur are the 2 parts of the Mumble app. It's an open source, free, highly portable app with high quality audio without taking up a lot of bandwidth, particularly Murmur (the server part) doesn't need a lot of memory and cpu. so anyone can have one in their house, if they want, even on a Raspberry Pi. <br />Another big advantage is that it has written chat as well as voice, and both are encrypted. <br />On the downside, it uses its own communication protocols, so you cannot just simply swap Vivox and Mumble, and have it work.

Smaller grids might want to share a murmur server. A murmur server can handle over 100 users all online at the same time, the main thing that could limit the capacity of the server is internet bandwidth.</div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7WfD01p3R6TQOOG1z02LK5G6Z4cm7hhsvWph-Pj7CcXZnZl_YaYBJcHTzqdTekUJonYDTr46ya7-i11AgUKN8_obSnHeLD1zv-HdJnaIMbYaPRR-3MIEbWFUmYOrLCL8JRlUTC9ZcDfjin4tMlK_zp5nBzMLK81zZXj74oSMoGVEqni4x-S-Fk4mdnrs/s1058/Slide_4.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="1058" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7WfD01p3R6TQOOG1z02LK5G6Z4cm7hhsvWph-Pj7CcXZnZl_YaYBJcHTzqdTekUJonYDTr46ya7-i11AgUKN8_obSnHeLD1zv-HdJnaIMbYaPRR-3MIEbWFUmYOrLCL8JRlUTC9ZcDfjin4tMlK_zp5nBzMLK81zZXj74oSMoGVEqni4x-S-Fk4mdnrs/w640-h360/Slide_4.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLIDE 4</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the next picture, Slide 5, you can see the first and most basic solution.

Each audio channel in the tree is independent and can have its own rules and allowed people and sub channels.

I have hypothesized a possible way to add Mumble to opensim with an integration in Opensimulator code - Opensim server side - the idea here is to have communication between Opensimulator and the Murmur server using a module - (there are already many modules, like for example the physics module, or the one that makes gloebits work). This way, we would avoid the integration of Mumble into the Viewer, but you could make the information (av position, cam positions, what sim you are on) can be transmitted to the Murmur server and so you would get that immersive, 3d sensation. And joining to a specific audio channel would be automatic. in this case, like case 1, you still need to download the Mumble app and have it open alongside your Viewer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's possible to communicate with the Murmur server using an ICE channel, and the Murmur server can be controlled with an ICE channel with an RPC code based on PHP and a web server like Apache. This could be the way that the opensim module could interface with the murmur server. <br />It might be necessary to adapt the interface on the Murmur side. This channel between Murmur and Opensimulator is not protected by password and not encrypted, so that's something to think about. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I suspect that the communication channel between Murmur and the opensim module could be the most grid-jumper friendly solution. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">You're not limited to using SQLite when you configure your Murmur database, you have options. And you can configure Murmur to allow only registered users to log in, and you can personalize things like the Welcome message, and the choice of which channel people will automatically be logged into when they first arrive. </div></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMJPVOkQbXUt4eSrGE1Gt3mC8V9gZ_XRN5u8U359Gpt9KYc6fhCnMR1Cg42znMeBOAAv7yA0UxOlhQe_Adeaxxm7cAl5Iw2FsgoZCOLaXLLUZ_TPvevkD7ooheHohtEnE5XhVFFb0J_MerJ1nhtaRtLLU0H-aEOr7bMqvvEPF8iWndQ6etK7qm8a_lWg/s1058/Slide_7.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="1058" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMJPVOkQbXUt4eSrGE1Gt3mC8V9gZ_XRN5u8U359Gpt9KYc6fhCnMR1Cg42znMeBOAAv7yA0UxOlhQe_Adeaxxm7cAl5Iw2FsgoZCOLaXLLUZ_TPvevkD7ooheHohtEnE5XhVFFb0J_MerJ1nhtaRtLLU0H-aEOr7bMqvvEPF8iWndQ6etK7qm8a_lWg/w640-h360/Slide_7.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLIDE 7<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div>Slide 7 shows the third solution. This brings us a little bit closer to what Vivox currently does. I'll call it 'Mumble meets the Viewer' because it's based on an interface with the Viewer. There is a lot more that can be said about that, but basically this is the way online gamers currently use Mumble. It means you have to create a plugin for Mumble that can gather from the Viewer's memory all the info: position, cam, etc. </div><div>This is the solution used in a lot of online games, like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Final Fantasy, to name just three. You still need to have Mumble client, and you have to keep it open on your computer while you're using the opensim viewer. </div><div>The disadvantages of this solution? Every viewer would need its own plugin, and every time they change the code with a new version of the viewer, there is always the risk that the Mumble plugin will need to be updated. <br />A more sophisticated solution consists in modifying the viewer to create a standard interface and have a Mumble plugin able to dialog with that standard interface. This would be one interface for all opensim friendly viewers and all versions of them. With this solution, the Mumble plugin would be stable and have a longer life.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHz3dX5ok430g1JNEiHSVGe_o8ZCumWrtPPFxHZwZQ8XSsSZ0ICmE5ciii2US2DCZsbteJP0fenDNxfeEV3awYYl00SMao9E8bySHsjaTcj2vGmJEa4tPsb8CBUb2brUZUSToZrUCafWZuu-bP7NIQW4cHWyebnEw4hy47pNZPqwKXIZVO6FcJVaWGmj4/s1058/Slide_8.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="1058" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHz3dX5ok430g1JNEiHSVGe_o8ZCumWrtPPFxHZwZQ8XSsSZ0ICmE5ciii2US2DCZsbteJP0fenDNxfeEV3awYYl00SMao9E8bySHsjaTcj2vGmJEa4tPsb8CBUb2brUZUSToZrUCafWZuu-bP7NIQW4cHWyebnEw4hy47pNZPqwKXIZVO6FcJVaWGmj4/w640-h360/Slide_8.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLIDE 8</td></tr></tbody></table>Slide 8 shows the 'Rolls Royce' solution, where the functionalities of the Mumble client are completely integrated into the Viewer.

The show garnered respect and a loyal following for both its gritty drama and its equally gritty soundtrack. Running from 2008-2014 on american TV, it's the story of a chaotic combination of family ties, dodgy deals, rundown roadhouses, violence and vendetta... not to mention, the Harleys.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Pxg-goqbdtu1GHoAtklLOhQPOlcqrEn169t3bn8WZldX5OfsAZ-UFGRGnu7UJSmaYtXfH-8ZIhFHakX2y8EsbMpek0Nfb9BD95PKJKwaxz1g5tvqQ5NOe2LpmifpKmxS2gRX2P_Wx9895Eq4BhY2DmyLokzv5kXbtZD2dXdwyzObkMa-HkPIGePEI1E/s1920/biker%20world%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1920" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Pxg-goqbdtu1GHoAtklLOhQPOlcqrEn169t3bn8WZldX5OfsAZ-UFGRGnu7UJSmaYtXfH-8ZIhFHakX2y8EsbMpek0Nfb9BD95PKJKwaxz1g5tvqQ5NOe2LpmifpKmxS2gRX2P_Wx9895Eq4BhY2DmyLokzv5kXbtZD2dXdwyzObkMa-HkPIGePEI1E/w640-h330/biker%20world%20(2).png" width="640" /></a></p><div style="text-align: left;">CCI grid is the home of <b>SoA Bad</b> and the beautiful <b>Siwas</b>.

"free" has always been there... so I took DreamGrid, and

I want to welcome you all to the Phantom Rose Grid! I am from the Northeast Coast of USA. I came to Second Life (SL) in 2005 and created Phantom Rose in 2007. I bought a grandfathered sim from a friend and envisioned a world where Anne Rice's Vampires met Phantom of the Opera. The Opera House you will find on the Welcome region of this grid, is the same Opera House I built in 2007, with a few changes due to licensing, etc. It was one of the first Opera Houses in Second Life and was very popular for years. I got my own domain and website, www.phantomrose.com at this time. I rented out gothic castles, had stores of my furniture and accessories, did weddings; my Elvis drive thru elopement was hugely popular.</div><div><b>James Atlloud: </b>wow</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion:</b> I found the Opensim (os) in 2009/2010. I joined 3rd Rock Grid, Digiworldz, and several other very early grids. I found Inworldz Grid in the OS in 2010 and by 2012 i decided to build a new Phantom Rose there. I wanted to make a different Phantom Rose, not a replica of it in SL. So I decided to concentrate more on New Orleans and the Bayou, but still with the supernatural background.</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion: </b><b>Lannorra Sion:</b> In 2015, I made the painful decision to close down Phantom Rose in SL due to the costs. I found so much more opportunity for creating in the OS for much less money. in 2019 I was able to start my own non-commercial grid, Phantom Rose. It has been amazing to have my own grid. It is made with Fred Beckhusen's Dreamgrid software and it has been actually very stable ever since opening. The longest shutdown I have had a is a week here and there due to network issues. Otherwise, PR is normally up and running 24/7 for the past 4 years.</div><div><b>Thirza Ember: </b>it's pretty supernatural that I can see everyone!... this is your own private grid, right, Lannorra?<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxKH2armtiVZi8_83blFlNR6mt2N9Dbm9oNTCy_8DMwlgXX4-qhvDLpPp5-pl-8vZdVDvgXO1wwdl0mkZ5b3gqHa5pVI10VBZb76I1UDuuTeYmtiGeuIy-pdIicNs60xOVtIsUr2gvPeb0RU12owVPuPvLSzNOOgZ5U_vOwICjHQlyQWaCm-TslXBn_8/s1644/phantom%20rose_001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="926" data-original-width="1644" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxKH2armtiVZi8_83blFlNR6mt2N9Dbm9oNTCy_8DMwlgXX4-qhvDLpPp5-pl-8vZdVDvgXO1wwdl0mkZ5b3gqHa5pVI10VBZb76I1UDuuTeYmtiGeuIy-pdIicNs60xOVtIsUr2gvPeb0RU12owVPuPvLSzNOOgZ5U_vOwICjHQlyQWaCm-TslXBn_8/w640-h360/phantom%20rose_001.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Phantom Rose Bayou</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><b>Lannorra Sion:</b> Yes, i run it from my own server</div><div><b>Thirza Ember: </b>and in 19 we haven't crashed it - impressive</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion: </b>The grid is made up of the many Dimensions of Phantom Rose. It has around 21 regions with the equivalent of 83 sims. And they all can be accessed via the Inter-Dimensional Portal (IDP). Each region is a different time period and theme. PR Steam is Steampunk, Victorianish region; my homage to Jules Verne. PR Welcome is very close to my SL Phantom Rose and is also set in a Gothic Victorian-esque theme.</div><div><b>James Atlloud: </b>That's a lot of space!</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion: </b>yes, you can never have too much land LOL</div><div><b>Thirza Ember: </b>and lots to do</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion: </b>PR Medieval is a fantasy/Medieval theme. PR Nature and its companion region, Sanctuary are modern day, as is PR Ocean. PR Nile is set in 1898 Egypt. Akrotiri is the starting region of PR Mer Nation, which is a fantasy mermaid/triton role play. Each themed Region has its own Mer folk area, which are all connected by the Mer Portal. They all have free gifts, too. PR Bayou is set in 1798, just before the turn over of New Orleans to the United States. As you can see, Phantom Rose Grid is a fantasy environment, no matter what "year" in which the region is set.</div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzl8gmiUnl1HBgw0qaPeXnkgGe2QL2NlZMrVeL9egWN7WPM25eCWWooB-qoTcxJBVePWCPXtckN2DX1s8gXLa0KSOhK-rp0Vw-FR1DwWnStsr7BjUaQEOB2daB0tMGwnq_1JOm4uvG5RbeCTI1Z-ry7PE-Lus8LhvTWw_9GxPdOqzUrCqP-HsMdRdwyg/s1644/lannorra.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="926" data-original-width="1644" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzl8gmiUnl1HBgw0qaPeXnkgGe2QL2NlZMrVeL9egWN7WPM25eCWWooB-qoTcxJBVePWCPXtckN2DX1s8gXLa0KSOhK-rp0Vw-FR1DwWnStsr7BjUaQEOB2daB0tMGwnq_1JOm4uvG5RbeCTI1Z-ry7PE-Lus8LhvTWw_9GxPdOqzUrCqP-HsMdRdwyg/w640-h360/lannorra.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lannorra Sion</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><b>Lannorra Sion: </b>so I am wearing a typical day dress of the Regency period.

As I said earlier, this is my take on the actual building in New Orleans today. I have tried to bring to life those early days when people would come here for tinctures and potions for all their ailments. There is an apartment on the higher level and a back patio area.

In the early days Absinthe was a spirit that people drank. It got its unique flavor from wormwood, anise and fennel. It was created in Switzerland by a French doctor, Pierre Ordinaire. And became hugely popular and known as "The Green Fairy". The French Quarter was proud to have its own establishment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdsEQgeLJUjIGTEKCKlpzgg0_DuMmUwUgcZinHj8aC7-gH-ee9W98lUgq8nvTnHqoi6_-pW_xclrD3bgcMKisoQu6AqTuH10HahS-s7eLunJ0XrUOhZPrmCWrOAV3a3IAThmT14e0uWm7tfdlKjuH1ZM8nuJiAV1G0-SqGBbECLHC54SSzoo9oZ5X6ho/s824/aa217477a2ad72373a6e30c85d18db4d.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="406" data-original-width="824" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdsEQgeLJUjIGTEKCKlpzgg0_DuMmUwUgcZinHj8aC7-gH-ee9W98lUgq8nvTnHqoi6_-pW_xclrD3bgcMKisoQu6AqTuH10HahS-s7eLunJ0XrUOhZPrmCWrOAV3a3IAThmT14e0uWm7tfdlKjuH1ZM8nuJiAV1G0-SqGBbECLHC54SSzoo9oZ5X6ho/w640-h316/aa217477a2ad72373a6e30c85d18db4d.gif" width="640" /></a></div><div><b>Kelso Uxlay: </b>very nice</div><div><div><b>Jupiter Rowland: </b>Forget cocaine, forget morphine, the lady has absinthe.</div><div><b>Lannorra Sion:</b> Absinthe was a high proof spirit that was typically watered down and added with sugar via "Drippers".

Iced water is poured or dripped over the sugar cube to mix the water into the absinthe.

You will see more details on daylight, but get more atmosphere if you set to midnight. I have created a scripted Wiccan stone circle with a coven that can be called and some spells that can be cast. A place of nature and love. I also created a Dark Magic Circle, also with a coven and spells, one which is to Summon a Demon! You will find a Maze with a prize in the center, a Pagan Drum circle with Dancers, amazing gothic builds.You will find Desolate Manor on the river. I warn you it is haunted! If you are interested in supernatural, magical things this the place to be. :) Anyone interested can contact me or just come back and explore.

Marlon has been my mentor and mainstay during the years we have known each other and I would not have succeeded in developing as I have done without his support. Just over 3 years ago, Marlon started Pangea. We are not so many who live and are active here as Pangea is not openly free to join. Visitors are always welcome but If you want to live here, it goes through Marlon. I want to take the opportunity to send a big thank you to Kitty Sarrasine, our coder cat who purrfectly manages the operation of Pangea.
