Frank Herbert's Dune - private island

Thanks! Great works...

Well, Lemon has a hard head and we all knows that, but after all he is a good guy and this is his sim, his game, his world. Take it or leave, easy ain't it?
Tho I see some misunderstanding of the term griefer, which is not the case now. Some people don't like how's it going, then comes here whining, Lemon bites, the whiner bites back, Lemon bites again and so on. Come on, grow up, Lemon continue but sometimes listen what others saying and read the other forum (I know that you are not reading).

We now have a roleplay meter with water, combat, spice and solari (the dune currency) levels. You can be killed for your water and be robbed so watch out. Water is available in dispensers in Arrakeen. Spice will be available soon - once we start mining it in the desert.

Pick up a roleplay meter from the new welcome center (telehub) by the marketplace.

There is a small but expanding range of weapons in the marketplace which do damage to the dune roleplay meter, and also a combat shield.

Have fun...

Hello everyone,

i'm french and i'm "just" the supreme fan of DUNE. You can see it by reading my pseudo in SL : Ramallo, the reverend mother of the Fremen.

I am extremely interested by your project, but I have a small English level.

Will accept me in spite of that in your group?

I wish it of any heart.

RDV in SL !

I think most factions would be willing to find a spot for you.

-Alidar Moxie, Reverend Mother (Bene Gesserit)

Apologies for my absence but rl is busy right now. I've made some efforts over the last few days to pass more power to the dune admins.

Don't forget the sl dune forum at dune.simtopia.org

Glad to see that the role play has really taken off

Regards

Lemon

I've had a number of expressions of interest from people interested in purchasing the sim. In view of this I'll be inviting offers for the sim by Sunday 22nd July.

Included in the sale are; the private island sim; all the code for the health meter and assciated weapons, shields, noseplugs etc; and the photoshop template for the stillsuit (plus full perms clothing objects). This should allow the purchaser to cover the monthly rental - as it has done for me for the last 4 months.

Offers should be PM'd to me before 12 Noon GMT on the Sunday. Offers should include:

- Your offer price for the sim in US$
- A valid email address

I'm not averse to people making changes to the sim - it will be thiers - and the sim needs work.

Regards

Lemon

Might I suggest that if you consider purchasing the island, that you join the forum group on http://www.dune.simtopia.org at the very least .

Well, interesting developments! Lemon decided to pass on his ownership of the LemonYellow region due to RL commitments. I took over ownership last week and there are some interesting plans for re-vamping the place as Splintered Rock.

(See http://dune.simtopia.org/forum for details)

Also two other members of The Dune Project have decided to branch out and start their own Dune themed sim. It's certainly an interesting time to get involved in SL Dune roleplaying.

The conversion of the old Lemon Yellow sim to Splintered Rock is about to begin. During this time the Fremen group will be roleplaying their 'search for a new seitch'. This is a great time to join the Fremen roleplay group as they are forced to leave the current seitch and make their way through the desert to a new home.

Please come visit the Splintered Rock sim if you want to be involved or contact Ged Beaumont or myself for more details.

The Dune-themed Roleplay sim 'Splintered Rock' is now open for Roleplay.

Splintered Rock is a spice mining outpost out in Hagga Basin on Arrakis - a place where the various factions settled on the planet fight for survival gainst the desert while ensuring that The Spice continues to flow.

Please come have a look:

We have freebies available in our OOC arrival point and if you like what you see and want a base of operations on the sim then several houses are available for rent.

Please contact the following SL residents if you want to join one of the Roleplay factions:

Atreides: Jon Sands
Bene Gesserit: Dracaena Ihnen
Corrino: Padisha Demina
Fremen: Ged Beaumont
Harkonnen: Korba Huet and Coene Soyuz
Smugglers: Eleonore Chevalier
Spacing Guild: Pris Hax
