Sl6b?

According to the wiki, LL is supposed to notify people today if they were accepted for exhibit space at SL6B.

Anyone know if this has happened yet?

I applied too.. and have not heard either way

Deadline for notification is extended til June 3rd, per group IM on the SL6B group.

Thanks for the update Treasure. I wonder how many applications they got in before deadline. I do not think they have enough to truly fill the event space - but we shall see.

.

Thanks, Treasure!

Well the funniest thing happened to me. I thought and thought of what I could do for a display witn now inspiration.. and then as soon as the dratted application closed I came up with one.

*sigh* isn't that the way.

I applied for a place the day it was announced but don't expect any sort of reply.

Just curious, but what makes you think that?

Does anyone recall how many sims were in last year's event? The Map is showing a block of 20 for SL6B, which seems small--especially with all the pre-installed builds.

I think they had 20 last year too.

It wasn't exactly advertised well - and was advertised for a very short time. I think they just want a small representation this year.

There were many concerns about folks not being able to find anything in an orderly fashion last year. I don't see any attempt to rectify that problem this year and there is not much time to make a event navigation system.

.

We got our e-mail from Dusty tonight saying we needed to agree to the PG Rating of SL6B and we can get started setting up our area. We sent the agreement back and we are now awaiting further instructions.

.

Got my note without any trouble.

(What a change from SL5B, huh?)

I hate to admit I don't know this, but what the hell is SL5B

Second Life x Birthday, where x represents the year. The current year is the 6th birthday, so SL6B.

Interesting: Apparently you got a location assignment already. I got notification that they accepted my application (which is surprising enough, given the proposed content), along with:
When applying I did set the "flexible about parcel size" flag, so maybe that's why I didn't get a location yet.

Same here. I checked that also, and I got the same message.

Thanks Mari

All,

Due to a large number of requests, we are re-opening applications for SL6B for 3 days. Starting now, (Friday June 12, 1PM SLT) you can submit a new proposal if your first was not accepted, or submit for the first time. Here are the rules for re-entry!

1: DO make your exhibit anything you like - AS LONG AS YOU ATTEMPT TO ADAPT IT TO THE THEME. We're asking you to share with us your vision of the "Future Of Virtual Worlds" as you see it applied to you. If you make pet animals, that's fantastic, stick an astronauts helmet on them! Explore the concept of animals in the future, have fun with it. Don't be afraid to play the game. Use the theme as your springboard, make the future what you want it to be.

2. DO explain what you intend to exhibit in your application. Not asking for a three page proposal justifying the necessity of every prim you rezz, but tell us what your vision is. Use the text space you've got! Don't simply say "Content I've created..." what is the content? If you have trouble explaining in English, please supply links or slurls to examples of your work.

3. DON'T utilize the Exhibit Info space to tell us all about YOU and nothing about your exhibit or your intentions. Your Exhibit info is not your bio. While we'd love to hear your life story, there is a dedicated section for that. The Exhibit Information section is not that place... unless you're exhibiting you and you alone as some form of Life art.

4. DO make sure where it requests your name to put in the name of your Avatar - not your real name. We don't need that info because as much as we like you, you're not on our Christmas card list in real life. We cannot contact your virtual self with your real life name. We can't drop you relevant notecards or send you an IM when the name does not exist in Second Life. By the way, if per chance you're getting odd inventory offers on your real life avatar, see a doctor about that immediately.

5. DON'T offer to put up a stage and invite musicians to sing. We have music coordinators who have gone to great lengths and invested great amounts of time to create a musical schedule on three stages for 24 hours of the day for the entire 7 day duration. If we let everyone have a stage to invite their favorite performers to sing, your neighbor with the Octo-Alien frog on his 512 beside you would be shooting death rays from his eyes at you and your 40 friends who have lagged the region to a standstill, and used up the entire allotment of avatars for the region.

6. DON'T tell us that the only space that will accommodate your vision is a half a sim. While bigger is always better honey, unfortunately the reality of this event and the magnitude of participation doesn't allow us the leisure of handing out full regions to anyone who asks - or anyone at all for that matter. We've tried to give you a diverse selection of plot sizes to accommodate as many ideas and installations as possible. Feel free to request the largest we have to offer, but make sure you justify the necessity! If you request a 2048 and your tell us your exhibit is simply "Cats." Well, that might not be a guaranteed sell.

7. If you choose to disregard these suggestions because you have to have a replication of Ma and Pa Kettle's cabin in the woods, I urge you to remember that a panel does review these applications and an application does not guarantee a parcel.

8. DO remember: This is ONLY a 3 day application extension in consideration of the many, many inquiries we've received. There will NOT be another. This is your last chance to participate. No further extensions will be made this year, there simply isn't time. Rest assured we want you here!

Applications will close for review on this date: Monday June 15, at 1pm SLT
