The mystic force behind Second Life (TM)

I loved Myst back in the day. My heart still aches for it with such a sense of adventure!

Who else has seen this blog entry by Robyn Miller, co-creator of Myst?

Tinselman: Selenitic Second Life

featuring photos of work by Resident aDen Ennui!

Now... I gotta say...

SVARGA ROCKS! AND PLANTS! AND ALL SORTS OF A-LIFE!!!

now that I've declared that, I of course *love* adventures and gorgeous atmospheres in my experiences. I am a YUGE fan of Ragnar Tornquist, designer of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. I have a term, "SierraLucas", for evocative places with such degrees of epic magnitude. The lushness of an ambience, really.

Anyone who's into Dreamfall knows why I look like this too:



(If your time is short, see this.)

So in closing, I'd like to thank Lauk for letting me take pictures at her lovely home.

WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH

VISIT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION IN CLEMENTINA
(can't miss it on the hill)
YOU HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED!!!

I think it is a lot of fun for the newbies to visit the temple and unravel the mysteries around Govenor Linden. Hehe, maybe we can make it part of a mini adventure.

I'm up for that too send me your ideas if you feel inclined, no worries if not




Sounds like you have a lot of ideas already !

Feel free to include our temple in Svarga or not as you see fit, I didn't mean to derail this thread

Including other temples into the project seems a good idea. I would like to see a lot of interactive elements, you know, secret passages and chambers which the visitor has to discover to solve a puzzle. And in each temple, you get a piece of an ancient artifact.

Maybe we can have an object of Govenor Linden with an pay script, so we can give our stipends back via that object (see economy forum).

Of course all this will rely on donations and I have a cool idea for that. I've seen an object with the soul of a resident in Nicole Linden's home. I thought it could be cool to have a room called "the hall of the lost souls", in which one can place his "soul" for a small weekly fee. It is like a bis display of all the donators, like the "hall of fame".

And what about a graveyard or some catacombs, where every Linden, who has decided to leave the team (example Hamlet Linden), gets a tomb stone.

Just a few thoughts.

I've visited the Svarga temple and I think the textures are simply mind blowing. Good work on that.

I would like to buy a plot near the new WA, but the sims aren't up for sale yet.

Hey Mad guess who is in Ambleside right now?

WOOT. Mad and I just spoke to a SL GOD! She talks!

Sucking up to the goddess herself...

Woot group photo

She returns!

Me feeble attempt at hitting on the Gov...



Before you comment, yes folks...I do have 2$L. I'm living it up!

And she talks yet again!

Oh, i feel so high. Her words have taken me to another level of my mind.

@LadyMacbrat Loveless: You have missed her. She appeared as you were about to poof.

*wakes up and jumps out of the bed again*
Can someone sacrifice some prim hair and a nice dress to our godess?

Dude I thought you went to bed lol...the Governator excited you too much I guess eh?

I told you, I'm going to ask her out for a date. A nice candle light dinner in the secret temple chamber.
*jumps into the bed again* Great Gorean Auction, i have to get up early tomo... today...

But wait!! Mad Wombat, don't you see the mystery still is not solved!

The name sir, the name! "Governor Linden"

Governor is masculine. the feminine would be "Governess". Yet Governor Linden appears as a female!

There is more even. What are Governor Lindens initials? GL!!
Perhaps as in Open GL!

It is obvious that she(he?) is in total control of all graphics functions of Second Life at the very least!

I dont think the Governator would appreciate you calling her a tranny o.0

Not sayin Governor Linden is a tranny. Just stating that the truth still seems shrouded in mystery and confusion.

I wonder what happens to people who do discover the truth?

They might go to FIC heaven or burn in hell for their curiosity.

It hath begun!



The picture shows the entrance part of the temple.

You are clutching at straws here. in Reality, of the 50 governors of the 50 American states, the governors of eight states -- Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, and Washington -- are female; not a single one of them uses the title of "Governess."

Your argument is full of holes. And Governor Linden is a hottie.

I was so close though!

I loved all the myst series. Myst 1 was my favorite (expecially the realmyst version of it). The only one i wasnt pleased with was URU. Even after i was able to connect it to the player servers it still kinda stunk to me. Didn't have enough to do. It was still a wanderful looking environment though, and i still have it installed. So it wasn't that bad.

The part of Myst 1 i loved most was Channelwood. I was always hoping someone would build that in SL. someone came close to building the Stoneship but was told by LL to take it down. :/


Oh and about Governer linden... I spotted her too, when Serenity Woods first opened.

Where is the location, Mad?

It is in my inventory right now. I'm using the "Bug Island" as a sandbox.

Edit: Hang on, I will log on and rez it there for you to see.

Btw, plywood temples rule!

Alright Mad wanted me to post up some pics so people could see the progress, so here they are.

Looking good so far...

Hehe, we need more slaves to carry the big blocks of plywood to the construction site.
