Season change

Last night heralded the start of the new Season, with the first of our Christmas concerts.

It's now ho-ho-ho all the way, with Sir Cliff on his sleigh this time next week!

And so it begins...

Time and tide wait for no man and like it or not, Christmas is on the doorstep!!!

On Saturday we kick off  "It's Christmas", with a Season of Concerts beginning with The Ronettes.

Every Saturday until Christmas, we have a festive show to help get you into the spirit!

Home For Christmas in London City

If you rent a land parcel and pay 4 weeks before 1st December, to avoid any unnecessary concerns that your rent will expire during the holiday season, we will extend your rental to 7th January.

With just one payment of 4 weeks, you are Home for Christmas with London City.



If you regularly visit London City and enjoy the community atmosphere, you may like the convenience of being able to build or rez your own home within a stones-throw of the centre of all the action in Second Life.

London City offers land plots where you can build or rez your own buildings and set home.  If you are not a builder, there are literally thousands of suitable houses available to purchase and rez.

You might be concerned about uninvited guests, but this is no problem at all because all parcels are highly configurable and offer total privacy and security. If you decide to set your land to 'private', only you and your guests can enter your parcel.  If you configure 'see and chat' no one else can see you inside your parcel.  If you set voice to the parcel channel, no one outside your parcel can hear you!

Of course you might be a party person and like strangers dropping by.  You can set your parcel to public access and the world and his wife can visit.    If someone annoys you, add them to your ban list!  Everything is configurable.

Each parcel comes with an impressive level of configuration to control your media, access and privacy.

The 'About Land' setting allows each tenant to configure:
Media/Music stream  settings
Deed Objects such as tv and radio changers
Eject and Freeze Residents
Eject from Group
Control Allowed and Banned Residents list
Set Home to Here
Return deeded objects
Set privacy (see & chat with others)
Set land to public or private access.

Robbie was a hit

It was great to give the new AWS style region a rigorous test last night, with 100 avatars on the region.  

We're also aware that the cap of 110 avatars being able to visit was capped at 100 and we've passed news of this issue to the lab to take a look at.

Visit in Second Life

Return of the Clucky Bucker

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, you will no doubt be pleased to know that the Clucky Buckers have returned to London City!

Can you survive more bucks than any other residents?  And the prize... is your name in lights.  Well hover text actually, but its the taking part that matters most.  Just ask any ex-president.

Enjoy!

Remembrance

Thank you to everyone who came to commemorate Remembrance Sunday here in London City and special thanks to Bailey for making it such a beautiful tribute to our fallen heroes and heroines.

Happy Bonfire Night!

 Thanks for making this years display such a delight.  Great fun.  A lockdown special! :)

Got it wrong

With some relief, I called the election for Trump and got it wrong!

Hopefully the new President will eventually end the unremitting hostilities that so many of our friends have endured.

Remember remember the fifth of November.  Hope you can join us for a firework show at 12pm SL time.

Great Britain in Lockdown

We saw this coming a mile off, didn't we?   

The United Kingdom begins a full National Lockdown again at a minute after midnight on Thursday 5th November.

Here in London City we are determined to make the best of it and keep spirits high with some great entertainment, concerts, parties and events.  There is nothing we can do but wait it out again. Maybe instead of thinking we are stuck at home, we should consider that we are safe at home?

Chin-up everyone.  We've been through this before and emerged. We might as well treat it as a "virtual holiday"

Join us on 5th November from 12pm SL time (8pm UK) because it is Guy Fawkes night and we will be having a wonderful virtual firework display.  Since you have the next day off work, maybe a little tipple to warm the cockles of your heart?

USA General Election

 

Uh oh!

So here it is, the most jaw-dropping election ever in American History as two dinosaurs fight to the death.

The 'Great Orange' against 'Tom Cruise's father in Top Gun, back from heaven'.

Who will win, Donald Trump or Joe Biden, and why do you want your candidate to win?

There will be heated debate, but this is your chance to air your feelings whilst we all await the results together.  Fierce debate is fine, but common decency is expected.

Join us from 2am SL time (10pm UK)  Good luck and may your candidate win!

I hope you get to tell me how wrong I am for the next four years, but (and my feelings have nothing to do with it),  I am absolutely certain that Trump will win.

War Of The Worlds Video

AlexeyRoshall has sent us a wonderful HD video of yesterdays Halloween Party in London City. So toggle the little cog and view in HD, it is wonderful!

We all hope you enjoy the video and please check-out Alexey Roshall's Youtube channel

Martians gatecrash Halloween Party

We did it!   We fought off those pesky Martians again.  What is it about Halloween that always makes them try in on with us here in London City?

On Primrose hill, there were a few charred Residents, but on the whole we all made it through the night, thanks to copious amounts of whisky (used for medicinal purposes only <coughs>).

Hope you had a great Halloween with us.
