Sugar Rush Huntin' (Today Only)

So here I am fishing at Sugar Rush...cause I can't spare the thought of missing out on the Limited Edition Customs here!

And I notice there's a hunt going on. L$10 a pop, and 12 shamrocks/clovers to find. If you click the poster you get a spiffy notecard with the info and pics of the prizes even.

Also remember it's today only so you don't wanna miss out. Here's Sandie and Nunca playing with two of the prizes from the hunt (the cootie gun and anti-cootie gun) ^^

Splash Aquatics Coin Hunt

Splash Aquatics (SLurl), purveyors of fine landscaping, aquascaping, and aquarium items, has a Coin Hunt. Find ten gold coins and win the prize of the day. Right now I'm trying to win a Pilot Whale family. Okies. I keep getting distracted by things I want to buy. Many of my aquascaping items come from this store. Kaikou Splash makes some great stuff. Take time to sit by the rainbow here. Very relaxing. BTW ... look for other entries about Splash on this blog. Use the Search.

Can has U Feeshz (7Seas Fishiversary)

So as most of you may know the 7Seas Fishiversary has begun! 1 year of an amazing game that has taken SL by storm. As many know I am a huge fan of this game due to my luv of teh feeshz. Pretty much when you arrive, head for teh caek (no the cake is not a lie! - well...here it's not)

So once ya head there, get some sweet celebratory goodies on the island. And then head for the part where it says rez a boat. Best thing is that the boat has a server so you can fish while you explore the different places.

There are many goodies around the different islands and even items camps and lucky chairs and prize givers. So much stuff it's almost too much stand. XD It's only for this weekend so I highly recommend checking it out. Oh and just a reminder, you know it's gonna be filled and lagged and since you're fishing a really good tip is just pop on that simple bikini to help keep things better and still look neat. ^^

Click here to teleport to 7Seas Fishiversary Sim!

(Warning the sim is almost constantly filled, try having the slurl show on map and tp into the sim next door and fly over. ^^)

Now for some random pics of some of the islands I really liked. XD

Customer Service (LPP)

Most Kitties should be familiar with LPP (SLurl) from the Creators Stamp Rally (CSR) in 2008 or from just shopping there. The shop is well-known for unusual goodies of exceptional quality, such as steam punk robotic body parts and cyber doll fetish items. I'm happy to report that LPP is also tops in customer service. Lucky Kitty Shilo Darkfold worked with LPP owner Aoimizuno Meili to get a copy/mod/no trans version as a present after hearing that I wished the one I had purchased last year was modifiable for adding sub-collar scripts. Aoimizuno was quick and very nice. LPP is tops in my book and will be a first-stop shop for gifts and goodies from now on.

If you want to see my collar, check out my blog (Web).

Itoh Clinic Lucky Boards

Yay I'm trying to sneak in more posts. XD At least when I'm waiting for stuffs. As you can see I'm watching the Itoh Clinic Lucky Boards. There's also past item camps for 30 mins a pop for some sweet kitty things.

Treasure Fishing?

So once again I'm gonna pop in something fish related. XD Haha. I love da feesh!

So I'm checkin out places and readin up and find out (a lil late but none the less) about this treasure fishing game.

Lemme give you the low down. Pretty much get this free fishing rod and be at one of the participating locations (I'll be linking the dEVOL location at the bottom of this post).

(Hina and I fishing here. ^^)

Pretty much attach and click something (like the ground that you're near) to begin. Then you'll be waiting for messages. Sometimes you won't get a bite and will need to cast again. But if you do get a bite follow the messages it gives : Such as CLICK! or DON'T CLICK!

If you click it enough to reel in the prize then distance will drop and if you get it to 0 you will get a prize. It's random what you reel in and remember if it says DON'T CLICK - don't do it cause it will cause the distance to increase and you may lose your fish. Mind you this is only available until the 10th of this month.

So goodluck all! ^^

Fishing spotlight!

Today I start my "fishing spotlight" posts. I love fishing in SL, you meet some fun folks, get some really cool custom fishes, clothing, items and you can win linden if you place in the top three during a contest. What's not to love. That said my first "Spotlight" is for DiaCat ClowDen of Majestic Dungarvan, quite a mouthful but it's a really interesting place. Peaceful and imaginative in it's ambience, there are planets of the local galaxy rotating around (best seen at midnight). Cathleen Denzo the friendly owner hosted a tournament this morning with a jackpot of over 1100L with very cute custom trophies to the winners!

Here's the SLURL check it out I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Lucky Kitty Crew Review

Just wanted to make a post that I've been putting off for a bit (since I've been busy trying to respond to what occurred recently) but I finally think it's time for the post.

Many people have been very supportive of past issues going on within the crew. As those within it may have known I was facing harassment through certain members in the group. It got vile enough as to those I considered as friends were calling me things like a 'nazi' or 'dictator' because I tried to enforce rules and keep things civil in chat.

Part of me pities that people could not be mature enough to respect that some groups (especially when they size up) need some rules to keep things orderly. I tried to have officers to help enforce what I could not but for some people that really wasn't enough.

So I made a tough decision and one that I am trying to sort out through this day. I removed almost every member except those who I considered friends or were on my friends list and now have kept LKC a more private group.

Working your butt off to get yer tail stepped on can be so tiring after awhile, so I felt this was the best action to go on to calm the fires that were occurring. Was it the right thing to do? Hard to say. But I keep trying to plan out a way to repair the crew - now granted this may not be able to be done and if so the group will remain private or maybe down the line I will close it all together.

I know I would appreciate feedback on this post (please keep it productive and not fling insults, that's really just childish). But I wanted to at least say thank you to all the support I have been receiving and sorry for things coming to this point. ^^; Hope to be posting more often.

P.S - Love Soul chair added the cute new noodles set to it and I can never win these darn secret prizes!

Avatar Rendering Costs and how to view what your's is !

Firstly need to have your advanced menu available at the top of your screen if you do not, then do the following:

Hold down your control, ALT, Shift and D key now Advanced will appear on your top toolbar.

Go to Advanced, then in the list that apears choose Rendering , then from that list choose Info Displays , then choose

Avatar Rendering Cost.

This number is how hard the server has to work to render your avatar. The higher the number the harder it has to work.

Higher numbers can cause teleport problems, loading problems etc.

To reduce it, remove prims. To turn off ARC just uncheck it.

Hope this helps *hugs* Cat

Primalot Neko Avie

It's been a little while since I've been to Primalot, but thanks to Lucky Kitty Nat Donat's recommendation I popped in and snagged a rather nice Kimilu Pussycat avatar (SLurl). That's right, it's a complete avie ... skin, eyes, shape, hair, teeth, clothes, and critter bits ... for free! Some past freebies and dollarbies are on the shelf and two Lucky Chairs are near by. Be sure to check out the rest of the shop, too. Very attractive with some nice goodies.

Fashion Week 2009

What? It's Fashion Week 2009 and no one told me? OMFrickin'Goodness! Okies, I'm probably the last person who should know. But I read about it at the Alphaville Herald with appropriate ooohs and aaahs over the pretty pictures (Web). You can head over to the event with this SLurl. Pic from Socialite Life (Web).

New Freebies at XD Fusion!

New Freebies at XD Fusion! (SLurl) The ever-generous Todd Borst just released a Shop Owner's Answering Machine, a device that lets your customers leave a message for you and dispenses gifts. Todd has used this in his shop for some time now to find out how folks learned about his products. Also new to the wall are Dynamic Floor Lights. They glow to lfe when an avatar steps on them. Try them out in the shop. Like the Answering Machine, this goodie is full perms. Past freebs are still available and the shop has some wonderful things inside.

More than a Secret Lucky Chair List

A previous post exposed a Secret Lucky Chair List (Web) but our on-going investigation shows that the conspiracy now involves Secret Codes. At the bottom of the Lucky Loot List (Web) is an ingenious computer interface used by Those In The Know to lock away freebies in a hidden server, keeping them from the general public. This reporter has learned, however, that for the time being the system is pretty easily hacked (see pic at left). When you breach security you'll see a Secret Code that you can use to unlock the server.

Once at the Super Secret server facilities (SLurl), interface with the control panel and input your Secret Code using a special encrypted communications channel. The server then coughs up (eewww!) a special set of "delicates" tailor-made just for you.

Midnight Mania's part duex

Helpful Tip from Devlin Kiranov

Lucky Kitty Devlin Kiranov sent a note card with a great tip for improving SL performance when rendering sculpies! Thanks, Devlin!

Sculpted prims are now a huge part of Second Life's Abilities to Create! If your not using them because of the lag you think it creates or the Blobbyness some sculpted prims seem to be at distances, then this tip is the Amazing Fix to that!

There is an Amazing Fix for this, that will not only help your Sculpted Prim Viewing Pleasure and not use up all your resources.

Debugging your LOD settings is something that can and will make all your sculpts hold the intended detail better.

Follow these easy steps:

1. Show the "Advanced" menu with Ctrl-Alt-D, or Opt-Ctrl-D on a Mac.
2. Select "debug settings" near the bottom.
3. In the blank space, copy and paste the word:

RenderVolumeLODFactor

4. In the box below, set the number. The recommended setting is as high as 4 to have all your sculpts looking as the creator intended.

Unlike increasing your draw distance, this will NOT create lag for yourself or those around you! And it will improve the look of all sculpts.

Enjoy and pass this around, so everyone can enjoy the creativity as it should be.

Midnight Manias!

I heard someone say... Midnight Mania's are like having Christmas every day, you log on and have MM presents to open! So without further ado I'm posting my very first Midnight Mania spotlight.
This lovely gem was snapped at Thalia's Fashion Collection . Not only does she have two Midnight Mania's but also two mob-vends with some fantastic items which drop down to 1L now that's what I call a real deal.
Here's the SLURL http://slurl.com/secondlife/Namgyal/248/196/337 for all you Midnight Mania hunters. My next post will be a complete list of the Midnight Mania's I've compiled (with all you lovely kitties help)

14 Hearts Tour

Maybe I've been too busy making prize hunts to notice how many Grid-Wide Hunts there are going on right now, but I wandered into Worldwide Industries and found a 14 Hearts Tour
(SLurl). Apparently this store is stop #9 and by clicking on the heart I got a prize and an LM to stop #10, INDI Designs (SLurl). S'pose I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the prizes are clothes in both spots. No idea what is at the other locations nor where they are. It doesn't appear that the gift givers are set to Show In Search. And I don't know if this was mentioned in LKC past notices, either. With Google, though, I found it listed in SL's Community Events (Web) ... details and a start point, it seems.

Petz Go Hur! (Pet Village Item Camp)

So what am I doing this fine Friday afternoon? Why...petting a giant kitty of course!

I so love kitty things and doing this 15 min item camp to get a pettable and rideable giant kitty just is so worth it! Come by today. ^^ Requires 15 mins of pets to receive.

Secret Lucky Chair List EXPOSED

Hidden deep in the bowels (ewwww!) of the Interwebs is a secret list of Lucky Chairs (and other Shep Korvin products), the prizes, and SLurl teleport links to each for the elite freebie seekers in Second Life^©®℠™. Clearly, the Powers That Be don't want us mere mortals (and nekos, furries, immortals, demons, elves, thingoids, etc.) to know about it. Click the picture to see it live, but first keep in mind that not all chairs in-world are connected to the list at this time. Documents I've found show that the systematic takeover of chairs is on a voluntary basis for now, but who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men (Shep, to be specific!)? Another secret site (Web) lists info on how those in the know can join the initial stages of this "revolution." Best study the information well and be aware of the Inventory clogging effect use of this evil scheme may have. I can see how it could break the asset servers and leave us all nekkid, forced to buy new clothes.

Lucky Kitty Crew/Mixed Nuts Group Gift

So lucky you to be in the crew! Mixed Nuts (our own kitty member Sandie) has made an awesome gift for you all. So head to Mixed Nuts with your title active and click the giant Lucky Kitty Crew gift display to get this...

CUPCAKE LAUNCHER! Because yanno...it's blasphamy to be in the crew and not love cupcakes. XDDD Sandie models this fine piece of work very well!

LKC Exclusive : Preview BareRose Hunt

So because I'm so excited about the upcoming BareRose hunt and I got a chance to beta-test it. This is a special sneak peek at the female outfit for the BareRose hunt. (It also comes with shoes if you do the additional hunt. This outfit has a male and female version but here's a preview of the female one)

Stay tuned to future posts and thanks for the support. Much luv to BareRose!

Isle of Lesbos 2009 Valentine's hunt!

The Isle of Lesbos 2009 Valentine's Hunt starts February 7th and ends early on the 15th. A quick hunt but well worth it.

Each region has seven hidden hearts. When you find one, click it and say I Love You (just like that .... no punctuation, each word capitalized) to get your prize. The Oasis of Lesbos has some extra hearts hidden by the merchants inside their stores so there is more than seven to find (how many? hmmmm. I don't know. Still waiting to hear from the merchants, but at least two.)

Oh ... sometimes the hearts move. Must be gravity or something. If any male wants the prizes from the Women Only region, contact me! Please respect our preferences and you might even get some erotic art for men!

♥ The Bay of Lesbos (SLurl) Bikinis & water toys.
♥ The Isle of Lesbos (Women Only here; SLurl) Special shirts & party gear!
♥ The Isle of Lesbos Mall (SLurl) Jewelry & a custom structure!
♥ The Oasis of Lesbos (SLurl) Bikinis, jewelry, & more!

In the Oasis, look for the extra hearts in these stores:

♥ Ayiki (Skins & Shapes; SLurl)
♥ Los Texanos (SLurl)
♥ Raindance (SLurl)

Does your store or mall have a prize hunt? Drop a note card with details in-world (or reply to this post) and you can get some free publicity.

Tide of Paperwork

Sure, the working conditions are pretty good (I mean, how many people can float around in a warm ocean while working?), but trying to keep up with Group paperwork isn't always fun. Between working membership rolls for several groups, notices posted from those groups and more, and the unending IMs on all manner of topics from more people than I personally know, my Instant Messages often cap a couple times a day. When I can I just leave my avie logged in to catch all the messages. I'm sure many of you are in a similar boat. Imagine poor Serenkitty's inboxes!

Please! When contacting me or other LKC officers, please send note cards. I leave my LL-created Note Card folder empty (having moved all the cards I keep to another folder) just so I can see new ones. I'm sure I'll still find the need to float around while digging through logs and e-mail boxes to find missed messages, but hopefully I can cut back on this use of my time.

Thanks for your help! Now if I can get a ban on "blind" offers to rent in other people's malls ...

(Like the 'kini? It's from Nanogunk (SLurl) and was free at one time. The shop has some other nice freebies, too.)
