Battlestar Thesis 82nd Role-play NEEDS YOU!

Some of you may not know it but I am a Second Life Battlestar Galactica Role-Player since my start in SL. I always loved being able to play a character from the show and walk the halls of a Battlestar and even pilot a Viper. But the biggest problem in the past was all the political crap in the various sims and of course... the Power Role-Players. You now the type, the ones who can do EVERYTHING and demand you play by their rules. It's enough to turn people away from SLRP all together.... but there's hope.

Finally we have a new RP sim that's actually been a hidden secret for the last few years. The new Battestar Thesis 82nd Role-play sim is a breath of fresh air with great builds like Battlestars, Basestars and mesh fighters all run by a super friendly, fair and easy going staff. I have been hanging with them for quite a while now as they prepared to relaunch the sim and they are quite the fun bunch that don't take themselves too seriously and love to joke around. Yet they know their stuff when it comes to BSG.

With any relaunching of an RP sim comes the recruitment stage. This is where you come in! If you love the show as much as we do, are easy going and want to have a good RP experience or just make new friends then you'll want to come to the 82nd and apply TODAY! I'll be there and you may or may not see me piloting a Viper with my see through lace top on.... nope... not me *winks*. See you there!

Marketing in Second Life 2015

This is the third installment of my Marketing for Second Life series. The last blog I wrote on the subject was back in November of 2008. WOW! Things have changed in Second Life but the rules of marketing still stand the test of time. The key here is getting your brand name out there as much as possible and when it comes to that task you can not leave any stone left unturned.  Here's a few more tips to push your brand name in Second Life 2015.

Novatech Grid Wide Portal is a long standing tool created by Cheshyr Pontchartrain who is the owner and creator of the famed Novatech. All you need to do is rez the single prim "Light Pad", rename it, click it and set it to Gride Wide and public and presto... you are now linked to 10's of thousands of other Grid Wide portals throughout Second Life. It's that easy! Visit Novatech at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gallifrey/128/89/58

New London Systems or NLS for short is a great way to network your brand name to explorers of the famous Dr.Who series fans. And yes... those fans shop! All you need is to pick a console room (low to high prim) and rez it somewhere in your sim. Follow the instructions and turn it on. Now your brand name is networked to over 10,000 other consoles all over the grid.... and it makes for a pretty cool entrance if I do say so myself lol! Check out NLS at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/TARDIS/202/211/26

Gate Network has been around a long time and is FREE to use. All you need to do is visit their marketplace page, get the free pack, unpack it and choose a gate to rez. Once you have it rezzed it's super simple to set up and again.... links you to a vast network of gates. Check it out at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Gate-Network/2818085

Last but not least a subject some may or may not like depending on their brand name. Games..... second life networked games are very popular and bring in people who spend time in your place playing the game. There are many to choose from but a few of my favorites are the 7 Seas Fishing and BARE Fighting games. 7 Seas Fishing is a fun game you can set up and host anywhere. Fishermen can win all sorts of prizes you choose like rare fish and items. And you can even hold contests. Check out 7 Seas at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Flotsam%20Beach/40/114/22

My newest favorite is the BARE Fighting system. Now I must warn you this is an adult sex oriented fighting game. But OMG is it fun LOL! It's Free to host too! All you need to do is rez the little server cube and HUD giver and then log into their site to set up your area details. Your place will instantly show up on their list of arenas. I have a few bots set up for sparring and I get lots of traffic from people coming to beat up on and have their way with my sexy male and female bots LOL! If you want to get involved in BARE just come to my store for your FREE hud located at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Okeanides/44/115/22

As I said before marketing is about getting your brand name out there as much as possible. Each tool, tip and trick I give you may not render awesome numbers individually.... but combined they can have great results. Don't just stop at these either. Get out there and actively find new ways to network your name. If you find a cool idea send me a notecard and tell me all about it. I just may check it out and add it to my growing network. I wish you all the best in success!

End of Another Era: Motorworld Closing :(

Way back on June 23rd, 2009 I wrote about a place I discovered called Motorworld. I spent the past 6 years going there to ride bikes, chat, make friends and explore all the connected sims and roadways. But sadly I received some bad news yesterday from the sim owner Melody Regent. Motorworld is closing :'(

I just want to say to Melody, her staff and all the friends I made throughout the years that you all will be missed and thank you for running and participating in the best biker sims in Second Life.

I for one will be taking one last ride. Come join me while the sims are still open at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MotorWorld/129/185/22 . Put on your best chaps, hop on your Hog and blaze the roads on last time in honor of a great biker sim.

Omega's a Win Win

This will be the first ever joint blog from SPANKED and Gatherings. We felt this blog needed to be written to make our fashion lives just a little bit easier by hopefully convincing a few content creators to "get with the times". If after reading this blog you feel the same, then please forward the URL to all your friends and especially to the mesh body and implant makers of your choice.

Stacia: I am really excited to finally do a blog with you Shayna! I know you have a lot of experience creating in SL but you also have experience helping other creators, being that you are not exactly shy. LOL. Can you tell me about a time when you helped another creator?

Shayna: I'd be happy to. Back in October of 2011 I was shopping at Slink and picked up an awesome pair of shoes called Destiny Heels.

Stacia: Oh, I remember those. You made me go buy a pair and they were my favorites! They were sculpties right?

Shayna: Yes, the sculpt feet in the shoes were absolutely fantastic and I thought "WOW I wish someone made bare feet like this without the shoe." So I sent Siddean Munro (creator of Slink) a notecard requesting the feet only. She thought it was a great idea and soon she was offering a series of sculpt bare feet.

Stacia: No one had feet and ankles that blended like hers. They were revolutionary.

Shayna: Exactly. As predicted they became a huge hit and as you all know Siddean later went on to create the Slink mesh hands, feet, heads and body all of which became a huge success. To be honest I really don't know too many people who don't own one or more of these products.

Stacia: You are absolutely right! They just make our lives better, not to mention prettier.

Shayna: But..... there's a problem. Appliers! For designers like myself and Stacia to make appliers for Slink products we had to apply for permissions and the designer kit via the Slink website. Once we got the applier kits there is a process to making each applier and I must say it a massive pain in the ass.

Stacia: Agreed. To make stockings and gloves it isn't too arduous. But clothing, well it is simply harder than any other system. The thing is I really like the Slink body, but I find myself not creating for it perhaps as often as I should or would if it was a simpler system. Shayna, could you comment on the Mesh Project? I actually don't own it for reasons I am sure you can comment on.

Shayna:  I was pretty impressed with the overall quality of the mesh heads offered by The Mesh Project or TMP for short when it first came out, but the price... WOW! At the time is was $5,000L for a head with facial expressions. I sent them a notecard explaining that the price was a little over the top and that eventually someone will come up with something just as good or better and for half the price. They told me that they thought the price point was good and had no plans on changing it. Well as I predicted less then a month later Slink released the Visage head series for half the price and was a huge success. But that's not the main issue here ;)

Stacia: Wow.  I had forgotten about that. I have both Slink Visage heads and love them! So tell me more about the bodies.

Caption: Here we have Stacia on the left wearing the complete Slink mesh body, hands, feet and head with the new SPANKED Silk Line Skin. On the right Shayna is wearing the TMP body, hands and feet as well as a very fancy paper bag over her head because she refused to pay $5k for a head. She also did not apply her skins due to the third party server requirement of TMP.

Shayna: TMP bodies are also very high quality and for the top of the line version a bit over priced. But the main issue with this body is the applier system using a Third Party Server to upload your texture UUID's to in order to apply skins and clothing to the body. This is a ToS violation not to mention a major inconvenience for content creators.

Stacia: To clarify it is a ToS violation if the designer did not create the original template, even if they have modified it. Let's be honest, so many designers use templates designed by template makers. They may be heavily modified but they still cannot be given to others or uploaded onto a website.

Shayna: Yes, and I see that as a problem with their system. Convenient perhaps for customers of TMP to have access to all of their clothing in one HUD. But I am not willing to hand over my UUIDs to a website, regardless of how secure it is.

Stacia: That is my problem too. Which is why I have yet to buy anything from TMP. To be honest it was getting difficult and time consuming to create at least 12-15 appliers for all of the mesh bodies, boobs and butts for every piece of clothing I designed, and sometimes more because you know I am crazy with options! LOL

Shayna: So what do we propose you ask? Well Omega Appliers by Love-N-Lust set out to make applying textures to mesh a universal system that makes it easier for designers and customers alike. No more packing 20 or more appliers into a single outfit. No more cluttering up your inventory with all the appliers accumulated from your clothes shopping. Omega is here and THANK GOODNESS!!!

Stacia: But some mesh designers are still not onboard with Omega? Why? Don't they want what's best for their customers?

Shayna: Well we think it's time for you to speak out. Contact your favorite designers like Slink and TMP and ask them to work with Omega. It's a win win situation for everyone.
