Moar Mole Mayhem!

The Linden Moles love us, you know, and that's why they give us gifts, like a really cool and easy to use (yet still fun) Hoverboard available at the Georgean Test Track.

I totally had to fight the urge to 'shop in some speed blurs.

SL7B: Massive Freebies

From Molly Linden:

"Many people have asked me if LDPW could give away the fountains scattered around SL7B - well we're doing one better and giving away the Bear Island Ampitheatre as well! Both FREEBIES! Tell your friends - only available until SL7B is packed away for another year! Landmark attached!"

Head there now to get your copies! (SLurl)

SL7B Gifts and Freebies

Second Life's seventh birthday is upon us, opening at 10am SLT on the 21st, and there are many, many gifts amongst all the wonderful builds. Exhibitors were asked to submit a landmark, picture, and description of their gift(s) for distribution and Lucky Kitty Crew members can find a copy in the group's Past Notices by the time they see this post. Or contact me in-world for your own copy. Highlights include:

• rideable sea horses with matching mer-tails and lots of vehicles
• nice dress from A Touch of Ireland plus more clothes all over
• confetti cannon and sculpture and other fun toys
• giant shared media player
• Hobo Train Engine and other unique creations
• artwork and floaty toobs from the Isle of Lesbos
• poofers, hats, food, toys ... tons of stuff

The official blog of SL7B (Web) has loads of useful information, machinma, and pictures of the event. Check out this Flickr page for fabulous pictures from around the various sims. Be sure to visit Bear Island (SLurl) to see all the Linden Bears and pick some up, free ... even plushy Linden Moles! The various official exhibits have gifts and freebies, too, such as hats and food and more bears. Get updates on Twitter and Plurk, too. When I run through the exhibits and my current LMs for parcels I'll post more for the Crew. Now get out and explore!

Nautilus: Ancient Treasure Trove

The Linden Moles, the "critters that build the infrastructure on Linden lands, have been busy again. The Nautilus sims are attractive and feature some clever builds. If you are into Ancient Rome/Greece role play they are well worth a visit. If that is not your style but like freebies, visit the Nautilus Market (SLurl) anyway to grab some free costumes, many different styles of houses, decorations, and even the textures used to make the Nautilus sims. Then go explore more Linden lands. Since the development of the Mole corps The Lab has been good at giving away freebies created by their minion. Some appear in your basic Inventory but more are available in-world.

Bare Rose Prize Winner

Any avatar with the last name Tester is a 'bot, a resident controlled by artificial intelligence, not by a human at a keyboard. Well, not always. Torley Tester is an account run by Torley Linden and his intelligence isn't likely artificial. However, the performance series are automatons that roam the grid testing performance. You may see them attach a torch or a popgun before sinking into the ground.

Or you may see them be random enough to win a prize at Bare Rose.

Governor Linden Gives Freebies

So I popped into Bay City (SLurl) to grab the Freebies mentioned on the official SL™ blog and who did I find? Why it was Governor Linden! Sure, there is no "real" such person, but folks were pickled tink that she was there. Lucky Kitties Kira and Lerochelle begged to be teleported in to see the 'Supreme Overlord.' Also showing up was our 'Supreme Overlord' Serenity and Angela (not pictured below, but you can see her IM greeting to me).


Ms. Linden confirmed that the Mole avies used by the Linden Department of Public Works (wiki entry) were made by the very talented Wynx Whiplash. They got the avies free, but you can buy one at Extrovirtual.

Now if you are wondering why everyone is standing around, we were watching a Linden having trouble setting the box to be sold for L$0. Yep. The issue was mentioned on the official blog, too, but I figured it would be fixed by the time I got there. It wasn't, so I offered a free "giver' script. She declined my offer and put one of her own in -- then deleted it saying that a script showing her as the creator shouldn't be released in the wild. I choked back "But the script I'm happy to give you would deliver the contents in a folder without a copy of itself! And then folks wouldn't need to unpack the box!" Honestly, it is so hard to teach a Linden :::giggle:::

About the freebs ... some of the textures in the box are awesome! I look forward to using them. However, nearly every object that my wife rezzed from the pack was merely (oh! how can I put this politely?) ... Well, I'm sure that when I check the official work done by the moles it will be better than the mole-built freebies in the pack. Hey, I'm not a great builder (here's one), but get paid to do it by many who think I'm better than average. And these items were not quite up to being average.

Still, the freebs were generally nice and maybe I'm ultra picky. All-in-all, I do recommend heading out to get this Inventory-busting goodie (lots of stuff in the box). And if you see Governor Linden, say HI for me.
