Happy Valentines day virtual travelers!  Let me tell you about the project I have been working on for the last week. It didn't take long for me to visualize a place for the underlings (Grubbies) of Stilwater to live in.


Now, I am all the for the lowly proletariat, who scraps by on little and happily lives their life overlooking the Ritzy part of the city.
​I thought a good place to fit this little apartment complex would be on the other side of the Stilwater Canal, itself a murky, dirty little waterway that separated the city of Stilwater from the rest of the world.

Enter a beautiful but very decrepit small apartment building.  Is it modern? Hint: its a walk up.

​I added some nice dirty accents on the outside including a few road barriers, dumpsters and dirty patches.  Will be building a warehouse of some kind later on.

​The apartments themselves are for rent. Does FREE mean anything to a metaverse traveler? Okay no? Then how about a Garish, overdone, flashing "FREE" sign.  Intrigued yet? Laughing...

​I didn't want the apartments to be unfurnished., I had a lot of fun the last week furnishing it with as gritty and grimy a collection of furniture I could find. (Okay, I admit it, most of it I made.  A good portion of this furniture can be found in the Neverworld Mega Freebie Store.

​There are two styles of apartments, you can have your pick.
Below are a few pictures. Enjoy!

​PS - it is strongly suggested you bring mousetraps and roach spray on moving day.

  
Here I am, over 10 years in Second Life and 15 plus years in virtual communities and I realize I have never delved into the addictive, crowd pleasing world of virtual role playing. 

In a sense, I find that I can describe myself as a loner, so being in this highly regimented world of a virtual community, one that has strict rules and deadlines, goes against my very nature.

Yet I find myself yearning to develop such a community.  Although I am a loner, I find myself drawn to places with large crowds, either to stay in the fringe or dance in the midst. I guess you can describe my where-with-all as “complex”.
 
So here I am, looking into other successful RP communities and even joining some (as the painfully shy person I consider myself – hanging out on the periphery).
 
Now I am staring to delve into the workings of their community, and what makes them tick, what makes them interesting, or not.
My findings –
 
I have a lot of work to do.  I doubt I can do this on my own.
A good organized webpage I find, is essential.
 
Here are the sections I think we will need –
 
“Tell Your Story”
“Dress Code”
“Roles”
“IC vs. OOC”
“Calendar”
That’s the easy part.
The hard part – A HUD for character creation and points

.
I have no idea.  I need – I need help!


I have an idea forming in my head, it’s been used before, but I want it in Neverworld Grid, in Stilwater.


A post-apocalyptic world in which the good side and the bad side of town fight for resources… you need food and potable water, and shelter away from the acid rain.
And…maybe sometime have to fight to get this stuff.  You need to align yourself with a posse in order to obtain these goods.  Can you find love in this world?

Respect?

Knowledge? 

I don’t want my characters fighting aliens or zombies.

They are going to fight the most cunning predator there is on this planet.

Himself.
