From: Scylla Rhiadra Well, it wasn't just tentacles. Or it was tentacles, but plant tentacles -- or fronds. Or whatever. So maybe you can do a specialized version. Was it actually called "Tentacle Orgy Island" or was it a place featuring tentacles like Yggdrasill Castle? From: someone She seemed to have a hard time believing that tentacular rape was just not on my personal list of turn-ons. But she felt compelled to demo a few of them herself for me anyway.

I think the place to which I refer actually was Yggdrasill, although I may be wrong . . . my memories of the occasion are a little foggy . . .

While there have been a few ideas I really like, most seem to have missed the point that it was aimed at a project that was of value to the Community of SL.
The idea was if someone, oh I don't know, me perhaps, was willing to sponsor a community project by providing the sim, what community project would you do.

Some kind of SL Expo that would show the state of art. I could elaborate for hours on that but you get the idea

OK...a hunting range. With Lindens as the targets.

A full sim is required. I would build a sim-wide cave & tunnel system (starting at ground level) with an ecology of the Paleozoic period mixing elements of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic periods. Underground volcano with jungle, lava streams, beautiful underground cavern lake, interactive environmental elements. Probably even do an optional meter so visitors or RPers can experience the danger of braving the lava areas, cliffs, and natural dangers of the cavern system ecology - including the carnivorous plants/creatures/critters indigenous to the periods. I have some cool scripters to get the job done as well: Crystalshard Foo (though she takes some prodding  ) and Katt Clary, who was extremely gifted as well. It is something i would like to do after summer if this new job i get in March works out.

I would build a large forest (fantasy themed) with fun little adventures to find. People need more free fun in SL (besides playing sex)

From: RockAndRoll Michigan I'd tell the entire grid to go fly a kite. No, not in the rude sense.
Put in a really nice place to go kite flying. Free flyable kites available, and shops to sell more advanced styles of kites. Kites of all RL varieties (and there are many types of RL kites these days) available to be purchased and flown.
Have kite festivals, including kite competitions. Judged contests where people make their own new kite designs. Have different categories for them like animal kites, best classic design, best attention to detail (such as making it appear to actually be hand-sewn for example, if the camera could zoom in that far).
As things improve and maybe we find a way to synchronize prim motion with audio (like maybe by using midi), could have kite ballet competitions.
The sky is, as they say, the limit.
I think it would be a very nice addition to the SL experience. Now I have a ear worm. (Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height, oh let's go.....fly a kiiitttteeeee)

A community-built (pronounced realistic) Orientation Island.

Well, if I had the time - and any building skills whatsoever - I'd build Trumpton / Camberwick Green / Chigley. I can't believe no-one has already. I mean, how difficult could it be? The BBC wouldn't get all a*sey about it, would they?

Just kidding - as ear worms go, that one's not so bad, is it? (I will be putting on some Beethoven or Hendrix later to get rid of it though.)

With the forums closing I thought I should update this one last time with what I am going to do (What you didn't think this was just a vague question did you?)
Anyway I've decided to try and build a resident designed and built new user induction sim, Like the welcome areas/help islands only done the way we think it should be done. yadda yadda blah blah. See my blog if your curious.

I'd try to do something similar to Arab Land(s) which is an excellent build with lots of public spaces. I'd also imitate but not slavishly the Japanese cafes. Both these cultures do the "third place" much, much better than we Americans. I'd also throw in grass skiing. I'm not sure how I'd script it, but I'd have free skis with a resellable script and then no snow. Avatarim have not enjoyed skiing because a lot of them don't have winter clothes. Skiing on grass solves the problem. I'd also offer sliding on flattened boxes or cafateria trays, but on grass not snow.

From: Pussycat Catnap But in front of the staircase, a scripted agent bot that's just there spamming asking people how she can buy the staircase. You know, it makes me wonder...

No malls, no shops. Just a cool place to play mermaid or swim. Lots of caves and grottos. Fun things to swim around. Critters. I'd need help and tons of $L but could do a lot of the work myself.
