Noob Valentine Griefer Party a Silly Success!

2009.02.17 1.00 by Atashi

Well our Noob Valentine Griefer Party was a funny, confuzzeling, indescribable and indecypherable good time!

Everyone had avatars and outfits that one can only imagine they would normally never be caught dead in. There were some fun replicating objects and lots of general silliness.

Although I did take lots of pictures, in retrospect there’s a lot of stuff that we’d probably all rather not see immortalized forever on our blog… still, I needed at least one to commemorate the event.

Looking towards next month, our monthly party will be on the 2nd Sunday next month rather than the 3rd Sunday, and the times will be a bit different – more of an all day event. Why? Because it will be our 2nd Founders Day celebration! Waikiti will be 2 years old!

So, on that happy note, we’ll leave with just one last thing to say:

Updates to the Waikiti Website

2008.11.24 1.00 by Atashi

I’ve just made some changes / updates to the website, specifically to the Land and the Facts and Figures pages.

The changes reflect the new landscape of Waikiti, due to the recent disaster that blew through our fair colony.

Cyclone Jack was a catastrophe that will not be soon forgotten.

Mid-Air Collision Over Minaki!

2008.11.20 1.00 by Atashi

Earlier this week, two flying machines collided in the skies over the new Minaki Aerodrome. A “battlebug” piloted by Governor Atashi and a UH-1D Bell “Huey” piloted by Lt. Governor Kim bumped each other while passing just north west of the runway.

Belching plumes of thick black oily smoke, both craft were knocked out of the air by the force of the impact, falling down into the waters to the west of the Aerodrome. The wood-hulled battlebug floated, but the Bell craft quickly sunk beneath the waves. Fortunately Kim was able to extract herself from the wreckage, and the shallow water in that area enabled her to reach the surface quickly.

In fact, neither pilot suffered any injuries in the collision or subsequent crashes. Both had a good laugh over the (mis)adventure, and things quickly returned to business as usual in the Colony.

In an unrelated note, the Minaki Aerodrome Association is accepting applications for the position of Air Traffic Controller…

Vikings and Barbarians Storm The Beach!

2008.11.16 1.00 by Atashi

Hey everyone – just a reminder that today is the day for our regular party & gettogether down at the Waikiti Beach and Clubhouse.

This month, the theme is Vikings and Barbarians, so take a deep drink of meade, grab your shield and spear, and come on down to the beach for music, dance, fun and money ball.

The pillaging starts at 2:00pm SLT!

First Look at New Landscape

2008.11.01 0.00 by Atashi

I’m one of those people who, once she has a plan, hates waiting to implement it. Even if waiting is part of the plan. I like to dive in and get things going, once a decision has been made.

Since it wouldn’t be wise to rush the important stuff, I’ve been looking at where else I can do some work, and figured I could work on the landscape / map.

Below is an “artist’s impression” of what the new map will look like. Preliminary of course, but it should give a general idea. The lower-left corner will be the new full-prim sim, and the lower-right corner will be void (for now at least) and not navigable.

In the new full-prim sim, the right-hand half will be home to the new aerodrome. I wanted to put it there so that the ‘flight path’ would keep it over estate land and not directly over any residential land. The left-hand side will be the two quarter-sim lots.
