Wolf Territories Grid^✦ @nbtafelberg

what if.....
we spent our time focusing on our similarities
instead of our differences?

I have seen many discussions here become very toxic recently because people are focused on how we are all different. I love how we all are different, but we also have some common similarities; the most obvious is that we are all people behind the pixels.

Sometimes in life and Opensim, it is much easier to tear a person down than to build them up. Let's make the extra effort and support eachother!

This is our Opensim.....lets take pride in it!

OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of one of our long time grid members Trizzy Hunter. All of us at Virtual Beach are devastated and sadden by this news, please bare with us while we grieve.

If you knew Trizzy or visited one of her many regions, you knew how much work she put into them. She took time to create stores and such for all to love. Trizzy was a great friend to all who knew her as well as helping someone in world when they needed it. She helped me a lot when i messed up my terrain or needed something in world. She will be truly missed.

Trizzy's memory will live on forever at Virtual Beach, please continue to honor her legacy by visiting one of her many regions listed below that is open all year long.

RRD Fashion Exclusives
Christmas Dreams
Dagger's Edge
Rayvn's Roost Concourse
Spooktacular Wood

After the New Year a memorial will be held in world starting at the cemetery and ending at daggers edge for a dance party to remember and honor her legacy. Date and details to be announced soon.

We will POST some of our roleplays here continuously to show you all how much we love to RP and keep you aware of whats going on. We already had multiple ones. :
RP - The group was investigating the invasion of dragons on Westeros soil. Rowk and Asad were found during the travel back to the 7 kingdoms. They found some people still alive and living on the vast land. One of them, Mina C. a farmer, was brought to safety in the thick walled Redkeep.
- They then found one of what we call 'People of the Forest', Anniera May who lives on the North-East near a bay in the Vale. She also was made aware of the dragon threat. She is eager to give us assistance.
- As for a third person, Justin Case who right away wanted to help too, was quickly made to guard the North in CastleBlack.
All those people skills helps to keep an eye on the many parts or Westeros. The future King Max C. and his Hand Steve will keep contact with them regularly, uniting as a group every Sundays (beside Dec 16th) so all kingdoms stay safe. ((You all are invited to join us in those meetings !))

It's snowing in Vallands.
Wishing you a happy holiday to everyone !

The Rainbow Bridge in Luxor. Working with glass using PBR, which needs texture, reflectivity, and transparency to look real. Before PBR we were missing the reflectivity part, which could only be rendered by duplicating the prims above and flipping them upside down.

Our lore / backstory
To avoid being killed in a vicious nightly attack, King Maximus, and his advisor Steve, had to leave the continent temporarily. What was ment to be only weeks, became years as they crashed in unexpected islands reefs.
They finally travelled back with trusted people to reconquer the Throne, and on arrival found something quite intriguing. The seven kingdoms were left without rulers, almost emptied, even from citizens!
The former King and his group investigated, one land after the other, questioned the rare livings still around. They discover that dragons came back in mass, and took over by the force of their claws and fire, into what is now called the Flaming Era.
Everyone will try to unite, finding ways to regain control of the kingdoms.

No ideal individuals were being prohibited from Dallas. When I checked my email this morning, I saw that someone had been blocked. Listen, I don't ban anyone. The only reason I do so is if they treat me disrespectfully. In that case, I'm unable to communicate with you, so I say goodbye. I only ask that you talk to me if you have problems with me and not criticize me behind my back if you don't know me. Hell, even though I don't do what I do for myself, I still do it because I enjoy being active, if not for myself in real life. In any case, I prefer to see others happy. Have fun and happy holidays! When I started using OpenSim, I remember that people greeted and helped each other. It's an open sim with too much squabbling, rumors about who took what, and so forth! If you ban me, I won't lose any sleep.
Since I've met more individuals here than I have in my 20 years in Second Life, we make a lot of things here rather than bringing them over. As I mentioned, I felt that people were more considerate and grateful when I first started OpenSim. What is going on? :(

After building the glass house, it gave me an idea, a log home. This log home is partial mesh and partial prim the mesh is modifiable only in that you can re texture it. It has large glass windows to provide a beautiful view, a built in fireplace, cedar and tile floors, spiral steps, carved wood doors and stain glass windows and beautifully carved wood baluster for the kitchen area and a acacia wood and stained glass baluster for the loft. It's a home I could live in for sure. It's full perm and free here at the mall and you will find it next to the "Ancient Builds" which is listed on the Kiosk Teleporter. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Howdy folks!!! One of our new grid members wanted a house that was very open, so with that thought in mind I created this house for her, however I'm making it available to anyone who would like it. This house features a built in fireplace, split levels, spiral stairs, decks, recessed ceiling lights (touch light), sliding doors and a carport. The build is pretty much all prim so it will be easy to modify and the mesh parts can be resized and re textured to your liking. It is full perm and free here at our mall, stop by and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Found a parking space for the X-Wing over at the store. Flew her over from Luna Starbase after giving her a new PBR paint job. Might be time again to give her some exercise flying across the grid.

Made by Lain Iwakura of Iwakura Systems and scripted by Armenious Horada. I helped Lain with the model upload issues and some of the texturing and also helped with flight testing. They have some interesting hud, weapons, and flight characteristics. Armenious has moved on to other projects outside of Opensim and Lain is no longer making the models though she is still on Kitely. Their entire inventory of about 20 ships was given to me as a trust to preserve. I'll eventually display them all at Starbase.

You can see the X-Wing at the store next to the cinema. HG Address is grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

I have a group now called Wolf Territories Co-Op

You can join it right from my profile.

I will be putting a group joiner at the store so when you visit you can also join from there as well! :D

You are more than welcome to join this group.

I would like to use this group to stay connected with each other and share items, ideas etc. with each other.

We could let each other know how our farms are coming along as well as get to know each other better.

We can also plan parties if we would like to get together sometimes.

Hoe Downs, Hay Rides you know, stuff like that! :D

The second have of the VivoSim System is in the pic with this message.
