Trouble Ahead @Trouble

Opensimworld.com is a great way to promote all the wonderful creations we can find in different grids and I think this is the purpose of this website. Promoting creativity, giving people the ability to explore and see what others create. This is why Im sponsoring this website with advertisements and announcements. Lately I observe this place is filled with comments of personal kind , ( some would call it drama ). I am sure the majority here visiting this website for the same reason as I do are not happy with the continuously posted remarks of personal kind ( and disrespectful) . I wish to ask all who use this wonderful website to consider , where it was built for. If this website will become a gathering place for people who wish to display their frustrations, it will chase away others who are willing to invest in this medium. Please take this in consideration before you post ( and please use English if you can, this is an international community)

Built as a city town house: A very realistic model from the city hall in Wernigerode Germany, one of the oldest one in Europe. Great fun to make such an old town house ( built in 16 th century ) into the virtual world in one of our ports.

We made an island for our group member Eduard Milev from Ukraine who we did not see in a long time. He made wonderful arms for all kinds of RP, scripted, and you can visit this island and see his work. Visit our sims and the shipwrights shop to TP there. Or search his name in Kitely Marketplace.

Announcing the Kitely Winter Fair at Catronian Archipelago!
We are organizing a winter fair for all merchants who like to do some advertisement for their work. We offer you a little market stall where you can put some vendors or boxes to show off your work. :) Freebees are encouraged but not needed of course.

The market is on a winter themed platform sized about 12 sims. Most of the platform is used for our 11 cities skating tour, that has been popular every year and will give the skaters who finished the tour and collected all stamps, a nice prize. The landscape is wonderfully made with islands and lots of possibilities to skate, get lost, and find shelter in little cabins.

In the middle of the platform is a Dutch themed snowy city, with a small market place reserved for merchant guests who like to expose their work.
If you are interested to use one of the little stalls, please sent me an IM and I will make a reservation for you.

The fair will be opened sunday the fifteenth of December , close to winter holidays , starting with a party with DJ Melanie Auxifur.

HALLOWEEN EVENT/CONTEST: scary ships!
Ahoy captains and all ship owners! We organize a " DECORATE YOUR SHIP IN HALLOWEEN THEME" contest. All ships of all builders from all grids will be allowed to join the contest and the most creative and scary ship will win a prize in KC's. We would to like to do a cruise with the ships so the jury can make a decision ( date of the event will be announced). Your ship will be displayed at websites and a video production as well. When you want to join with your ship, please register with Trouble Ahead in Kitely.
Looking forward to see your creation! Show us your ghost ship, zombie crew, or whatever idea you will bring in!

Come sail your own historical ship, free!! We made a ship ( see pic ) in a rezzer for all who wish to learn to sail the historical ship Statenjacht Utrecht. When you board the ship, a HUD for navigation will attach automatically on your avatar so you can start immediately testing the sails and the cannons! More people can rezz ships, so you can take your friends and have a test battle as well. You will find the rezzer by walking through the " sailing school " teleporter at our landing point, and you will find your way. There is a book close to the rezzer you can use as a tutorial , but we also arranged a personal teacher for you: IM in Kitely captain Snoots Dwagon for an appointment , he will lead you to a higher level in the sailing battles! Many thanks to Christine Nyn who made the rezzer for us. ( the ship flies a white flag, so no other captains will attack you! )

Coming Friday the 22 th of March, we will celebrate the coming of spring with DJ Melanie Auxifur in Port Hope's theatre.
Chose the " Theatre/ dance floor" teleport at the landing place. Time: 1 PM viewer time, (for mid euro time , this is 9 PM)

Themed clothes not needed, but ... you can come as easter bunny, or as walking chocolate egg, we won't mind at all !

A tall ship battle , ships with crews ! It's great fun. This is last ship standing ( mine :) ) burning! No cargo to steal, all was burned ! With many thanks to the Catronian Archipelago group members to make this event exciting.

We announce that we made a connection with the Vibel grid , " Neiferleaf " owned by Roland Francis.
Catronian Archipelago's members visited his sims and were very enthusiastic about theme and landscaping and we decided to connect the lands with teleporters on each others landing points. The purpose of this connection is to share traffic and make people with similar interests on different grids aware about the posibilities of role-play, and we also want to organise events that will take place on both grids. More information about this later.
You can easely find the gate to Neiferleaf on Catronian Archipelago 's landing point , a gazebo that will teleport you over or try

grid.vibel.eu:8002:Neiferleaf

Enjoy the medieval theme, the wonderful forests and the great riding horses you can use to explore the lands. It's big, so take your time.
We are grateful Roland participates in this and work with us. For a fast impression on website:

Welcome at our 11 cities skating tour !

In the Netherlands is a tradition in winter, when there is a long cold freezing period . They have the " eleven cities tour" ( Elfstedentocht) , a 200 km skating route that leads to eleven cities in the northern part of the Netherlands. It's very popular and the Dutch see it as an honor when you are able to skate the whole route in one day and get the " Friesche elfstedentocht " trophy as a reward.

We made a wonderful skating route for you with eleven checkpoints named to all the cities. When you find them all, you will earn the famous " eleven city tour cross "a trophy that is famous for all skaters all over the world ! The stamps , given to you at every checkpoint are the original stamps used in the tour in RL. Collectors items!

* Found all the stamps? Make a notecard , drag your stamp textures on it and sent it to Trouble Ahead.
Yay, when sending your full stamp notecard , you finished the tour and the famous "Elfstedenkruisje" ( trophy) will be sent to you, with some themed presents as well.

When you explore the place, you can find a Christmas market.

Find us in Kitely s main website " Catronian Archipelago" and use the teleporter near the landing point.

Catronian Archipelago has a new judge and major in its new city hall. . Please read below in case you need defense: ========================
CATRONIAN BOOK OF COURT PROCEDURE


Article 1
Dwagons are now offishully recognized as "Honorable Residents" and not as pirates and privateers as previously rumored. Snoots Dwagon shall be known as "His Honor" unless specific activities obviously indicate otherwise.

Article 2
Judge Snoots Dwagon's authority and judgment is conferred upon him for as long as he is willing to take the Honorable task of being Judge and Major of Catronian Archipelago. No other person shall take this role without The Honorable Dwagon's consent. This is a Title for Life. (Note that Dwagons are immortal, so that's a long time.)

Article 3
No Judge shall take a bribe of any kind from any entity, be it Navy, Seaman, Merchant or otherwise. However, donations are gladly accepted to the Orphaned Dwagons Fund for the protection of this rare and valuable species.

Article 4
The judge's judgment stands as given. No appeal is possible. However reconsideration of sentence may be possible upon donations to the aforementioned Orphaned Dwagons Fund.

Article 5
All witnesses on all cases are obliged to give him their honest stories whether true or not, swearing to say nothing but the truth by their hand (or paw) on the book of Catronian law, which doesn't currently exist but still the thought counts. Any law which is deemed to not exist at the time of Court and Judgment may be made up on the spot by the Honorable Judge.

Article 6
Accused ones can be defended by so called lawyers, attorneys and shysters, especially if they are too drunk to present their own defense or the evidence too clear and excessive for them to otherwise defend themselves.

Article 7
Judgment may be debated, discussed and cursed so long as members of the court bring enough rum for other participants participate equally. However the wisdom of Dwagon Judgment shall not be challenged nor doubted as Dwagons have two brains and the Judge has already thoroughly discussed the matter with himself.

Article 8
Any participant of court who proves unruly shall be removed forcibly from the courtroom, upon which they may pay the Judge to re-enter the court should they so desire.

Article 9
Punishments will be related to the deed of the crime, worse if the Honorable Judge is in a bad mood. Rumors that judgments may be tempered or lessened with bribes of gold, rum or cookies are emphatically denied.

Article 10
The Judge is allowed during his session of the court to use all fluid drinks that make his speech more sharply and his judgments more colorful.

Article 11
Captain Snoots Dwagon is permitted to change articles of the book of law on his own authority, and will announce any changes in Catronian Groups notices when he gets around to doing so. Any announcements not made shall be stated during or following a trial and shall be retroactive in nature.

Article 12
Law and order shall be the rule of the day. This applies to Navy, Pirates, Privateers, Captains, Gunners, Seamen, Merchants, Wenches, Swashbucklers and Scallywags regardless of race, creed or species.

Participants in the court are encouraged to wear flame-retardant materials.

-- This concludes the Catronian Book of Court Proceedure --

This document was written by educated professionals to be the core of Catronian Law and has not been at all influenced by Dwagons in any way.

--o--
To find the city hall and contact the Major: please use the TP to Port of Morgan, at the end of the docks you find Honorable Snoots Dwagon's residence.
