Hope this is OK for the general forum.

I just wanted to say a big "Thank You!" to Nigel Linden and all the extra work he put into the Train Station Contest.

I've toured the builds, and the ones up so far are all absolutely amazing.

I invite everyone else to fly up to Tuliptree or Obscure or any of the others this Friday and take a ride on the SL Rail express (courtesy of Nigel!).

The only other comment I really have is that..

..I hope we do a lot more of these in the near future!

We have quate a number of astonishinly tallented users of SL. IMHO, any building job should be brought to the SL population in much the same way as the station contest was. No more hiring outsiders.

Congratulations to all!

thanks nigel! this was a great linden sponsored competition! it's really nice as a player to be given the oppurtunity to make a "permanent" mark to the grid. and boy did it create a lot of excitement for the 60 odd people who competed and friends and even strangers!

looking forward for the next such competition!

No more hiring outsiders.

Who are these outsiders you speak of?
(AFAIK) The only time anything in SL was built by a contracted professional was... waaay back, before I was born, when somebody hired weapon / weapon2 linden to make the Atlas Casino.
Everything else was built by residents and lindens (and most lindens were mere residents at one point or another).

I thought the new WA was an outsider job. Am I wrong?

I think Jillian is probably referring to the Welcome Area, whose builder, I am told, was an outsider contracted specifically for the purpose.

Yes, thanks Nigel, even though my build wasn't one of the ones selected I had fun, and I have a new build in my inventory to show for it!

i look forward to the next such event.

You were told wrong. The new WA was built by a resident

I want to check out all these stations inworld in glorious 3D. I think I saw just one of them so far. From the sound of it, it seems like it went over really smoothly, and it's nice it was pooled (and pulled) from the Resident community too. How about designing train cars too?

Well this answers one thing I was wondering about! Funny name, "Weapon Linden".
