I like the bottle one.

And I have seen a 3 sided mobius strip (as opposed to the two sided one you posted) that has an 'inside' that is never seen. It follows the same rule that foing along one side will eventualy take you along all sides.

I got it!!!

LINDOLAND

Kinda like a lego land made by Linden....hehehe

Since as a kid I had an unlimited supply of Lego's from Gramma, and could build anything I wanted with no limits....I think a Lego spinoff would fit.....

Just a thought

My suggestion is to call it Eclectica. I think this would be appropriate because it is the combined work of many people who are inspired by many different sources.

I call it Linden. Sometimes, I forget and call it Lindenwood, since that is the name of a small Mis-Western town I lived in as a child.

I like those names.

I'll probably call it Linden or Lindenwood until some one tells me I have to stop, or finds a better, more comfortable name.

Besides, if I call it Linden, then I can fantasize that the Linden family is really a cabal that has taken over the whole world and runs things like they are benevolent dictators with only "our best interests at heart" and.... hmmmm.

Gulp.

:-)

The worlds would be significantly large (3840m circumference or a diameter of 1,222. If my math is right.) int this example. I chose 15 because I'm pretty sure it is already past 10 wide.

Anyways, more random thoughts.

this would 0wn!

i'd so love to see this, including the multiple worlds thing.

My suggestions:

Well working with all these primitves gives me some obvious choices.

"Sphere" (its a sphere one asumes without more info)
Edit: Ok so I read back and find that the world may end up being a Torus in which cause "Torus" woudl be the obvous choice.

"Prysim" (not only is this a primitive but a Prysim's ability to split light into multiple colors on dispaly for all to see easily ties into the workings of this world).

Second World, Second Earth, Terra Two...

just "Two"

Ok I'm taped for now.

Sorry, the world already has a name.

From Program Files\SecondLife\lsl2_reference.htm:

"llGetTimeOfDay
float llGetTimeOfDay();

Gets the time in seconds since LindenWorld midnight."

What's in a name?
