Have you flown through the northern continent lately and wondered what Gray was all about? Well, it's home to the Kazenojin theme community, and its offshoots, SL University and SL Racing Association. All these groups welcome new members, and if you didn't know what we were about, come find out! If you were waiting around for an invitation to get involved with our activities, CONSIDER YOURSELF INVITED.
Kazenojin
Also known as the People of the Wind, this group is all about the love of flight and flying vehicles. Its membership includes excellent builders and scripters. Kazenojin is devoted to making a home for flying creations, such as airships, spacecraft, helicopters, etc. The main structure on the mountain is a ship dock. Kazenojin maintains the Gray Airfield, which is available as a place to park and work on your planes. Any Kazenojin member is free to display vehicles there, to put items in the company store, and to use the sim to work on large projects related to flight or to the other Gray groups' activities. Kazenojin members share group flight scripts, work on projects together (such as a new aerial dogfighting system!) and you get a snazzy uniform too!
Contact Goodwill Epoch or Ananda Sandgrain (me) if you're interested.
SL University
An offshoot of a Kazenojin project called the SL Physics Workshop, SL University is aimed at raising the overall level of knowledge; about scripting, building, and other subjects, too, such as physics, astronomy, and creative writing. This group provides teaching tools and facilities, and we now have a brand new campus building! It has an auditorium, huge workshop areas, and a wonderful teacher's lounge (complete with coffee maker, thanks to Lynnix!) Soon this building will be home to a scripter's library, where you will be able to get a variety of useful scripts and snippets to work with inworld.
If you're an instructor and would like a new place to hold classes, or are interested in the idea of spreading knowledge in SL a step above the basics, come by and check it out!
Contact Xylor Baysklef or Christopher Omega.
SL Racing Association
This is a relatively new group, also an offshoot of Kazenojin. Its goal is to run great racing events, and put those vehicle sims to good use! Currently it is assembling a racing system that should be adaptable to running races of all kinds, by motorcycle, boat, plane, or camel. (Camel? Athos mentioned that, hmmm...) We're looking for more people interested in making race course equipment, such as checkpoint gates, pylons, barriers, finish line bleachers, etc. And also more people who are interested in using the system to run racing events!
Contact Satai Diaz or Athos Murphy if you are interested.
