Came In Late But Still Got First Place

While loittering around my place doing absolutely nothing, a group message from 7Seas Social Chat caught my interest. It was about a contest at Summerlands Fishing Pier-7Seas Fishing with a top prize of 500L$. The contest had already started and I was on my Kabalyero Kidd account. So, I quickly logged off and logged in to my fisherman account which is Kabalyero Skytower.

Came late but ended on top!

Came late but ended on top!

That process of changing accounts and then teleporting to the location of the contest took at least 2 minutes I think. When I landed at the place, I started casting immediately. No, I didn’t wait for everything to rez because I know that the contest had already started and there was no more time to waste.

A few weeks ago, The Spartan Empire sim had done some re-building and today a new and much better Sparta re-opens. The opening was celebrated with a whole day of scheduled events from Scavenger Hunts to Tournaments and Fighting and it will be ended with a screening of the movie 300.

The Spartan Empire Landing Area

 

Entering The City

The entrance and landing area to the City of Sparta has been greatly improved. It is now much welcoming than before. Visitors can get an immediate copy of the Rules, Landmark and get invited to The Spartan Empire group by simply clicking on the sign that says “Spartan Rules”. A box with outfits is also available at the entrance for only 0L$, in other words its FREE! ^_^

The Spartan Empire Landing Area

As always, the entrance is lined up with vendors and shops but, unlike before, they are now much better laid out. Here you’ll find an assortment of items for sale. Weapons, clothings, furnitures, armors, etc. If you wish to acquire a vendor space or a shop space in Sparta then please kindly IM Jackie Balbozar or mikeD Streeter.

While browsing SLExchange’s marketplace for FREE goodies, I stumbled on a very cool Open Source Book Making Script. I immediately purchased it and tested it in-world and it seems to be working fine. Now, this new discovery gave me an idea to create a Second Life magazine (as if we need another one, LOL) and the topic I chose was RPG Empires.

Excite about my new project, I quickly started on designing the pages of the magazine in Photoshop. I finished five pages and uploaded it into Second Life and then applied it to the Book Maker. The process was really simple and after that I sent a copy to mikeD Streeter, owner of RPG Empires, to get his input on the project. [...continue reading Fish and Bait]

My Fishing Dungeon

My castle, which is located in the Animate Me Poseballs sim, has three levels. The dungeon, the main area and the throne room. The throne room is like my personal space. the main area is where all my vendors and affiliate vendors are placed and the dungeon was once a place where I put freebies. Now, since I don’t have that much freebies to giveaway, I decided to change the dungeon into something else.

My Fishing Dungeon

The idea of changing the dungeon into a fishing area just came out of nowhere. I then went to build a very simple fishing pool with 8 chairs around it and placed it in my dungeon. If King Arthur has “The Round Table” in his castle then in my castle I have “The Round Fishing Pool”. [...continue reading My Fishing Dungeon]

Tied At Third, Prize Never Came

A nice prized fishing contest at USCHI OCEAN was announced in 7Seas Social Chat. As expected, most of the active fishers that were currently online (including me) went there to participate. The place was really laggy when I landed there. In fact, the fish servers were already acting up even before the contest started and when it finally started, all hell broke loose. The fish servers and the contest board were not responding correctly. Points were not being recorded and fish servers act as if they’re not there. It was so laggy that the board even recorded the ZERO points made by some players and that was the first time I saw that kind of thing happened.

Zero Points on the Board
(Early shot of the board, more ZERO points were displayed a little later.)

That went on up to the middle part of the contest when almost only half of the participants were left fishing. I tried all sorts of things to lessen the lag like moving away from group. I even wore my Personal Motorboat to act like a Personal Fishing Server. After, moving around a little, I found a nice little spot behind the Contest Board where I was able to fish and get my points recorded on the board too.

Accused But Cleared, Thanks 7Seas

Today I received a very unexpected message from Seven Shikami, one of the staff and I believe to be the main developer of the 7Seas Fishing Game System. He told me that some people are accusing me of cheating the system. Duh? These narrow-minded residents of Second Life came to that conclusion because I was kinda dominating most of the fishing competitions and also because I was using a modded fishing rod.

Kabalyero and 7Seas

You see, you can mod the appearance of any of the 7Seas Fishing Rod BUT you can never modify or edit any of the 7Seas core scripts that make the fishing rod works. I got the idea from someone who was fishing at my place. She was using a one prim stick that acted like a wand. I asked how it was done and she told me that it was as simple as dragging the scripts into another object and in return I made her a simple magic wand. One important thing she forgot to tell me was that transferring the scripts will reset your fishing rod’s stats. I found out about it after transferring my fishing rod’s scripts into my Katana which I later on transferred into my Kendo Stick. I then spent a few hours levelling it up again to level 5. I also replaced the casting animations to match the Kendo stick more.

More Than 2000L$ From Fishing

Wow! Ever since I discovered fishing in Second Life with 7Seas a few days ago I’ve been joining a lot of fishing competitions everywhere and, luckily, I’ve won a few of them. The last big prized fishing competition I won was at Hedonism which was hosted by Phelan James. It was a 2 hours unlimited/baited fishing contest and I was lucky enough to get first place with a prize of 500L$.

Don’t mind the guy leaning on the contest board. He looked like that because his textures didn’t load. LOL! Oh, I also got a nice little trophy from the contest. :)

Sea Battles At Sailing Empire

Today, I visited Sailing Empires. It is an empire under RPG Empires specially built for sea battles. It is made up of two sims which are all water except for a few land masses or islands. The main island is where the landing area is and it is also where you’ll find everything that you’ll need to know about Sailing Empires.

Sailing Empires

My exploration of Sailing Empires started at the landing area. There, I saw a lot of vendor spaces for rent. Many are already occupied but there are still some spaces available. So, if you are a Second Life merchant and would like to sell your items at Sailing Empires then please don’t hesitate to contact mikeD Streeter for information.

Sailing Empires

One thing that you’ll love about mikeD Streeter’s sims is that shop spaces or vendors are all located at the landing area. This is good for both merchants and shoppers. Shoppers don’t have to move or walk long distances to find what they’re looking for and merchants can be sure that their items for sale are easily found by shoppers.

RPG Empires and Lively

mikeD Streeter of RPG Empires and Animate Me gave me a link to his room in Lively. You see, Lively is Google’s entry to the virtual world arena. Well, it’s not really a virtual world because it’s more like a virtual living space or virtual room where you can invite your friends to hang-out and chat. I haven’t tried it that much and I’ve only been into RPG Empires Room but there are already hundreds of user created rooms which you can join. See my screenies of RPG Empires Lively Room.

inally, I received the photos from the very first Fishing Contest held at my place. If you remember, I blogged about 7Seas Fishing Game system a few days ago and I even setup my own 7Seas Fishing Area which is located at the dock.

First Fishing Contest

On June 30, 2008, I decided to have a Fishing Contest and give away 500L$ to the winner. The contest format was Unbaited so that even casual players can join in and it ran for three hours. I think at least 8 people showed up and joined the contest.

Arena Wars (Episode 1)

Yesterday, I spent my free time at Sparta watching the fight against the Minotaur. I also took some clips of the fight for my new Second Life show, Arena Wars. The idea for the show came to me while I was paging through the many group notices that I receive everyday and are sent to my e-mail from The Roman Empire, The Spartan Empire, Samurai Japan, Egyptian Empire and Medevil England which are all under RPG Empires.

Minotaur versus Everyone

Most of the notices contain announcements about fights and tournaments on that particular empire or sim. With so many fights and tournaments happening around the sims of RPG Empires, I asked myself, why not build a Second Life show around it? From there, Arena Wars was born. (Typo on the Graphic, LOL!)
