Didn't realise they had orbs as well Yeah, I meant the ball-shaped monsters reminded me of Orbs. 🙂  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 hour ago, Gabriele Graves said: Maybe a mindset change is needed. People like to make games out of things, perhaps this too can be gamified: Mission: Dodge as many orbs as possible, the more you dodge and faster your progress, the better your ranking. Evade your way to the furthest reaches of mainland until you win your way to the final destination, the fabled land of Bellisseria where the orbs are weak and you can fly your victory laps until your heart is full of contentment as the highest ranking participant. Are you up to the challenge? There is (or was) a rally that did exactly that. 16 (a resident) introduced the forum to it many years ago. Starchild Rally? Something like that. The idea was to get as far as you could in the provided vehicle that could cross water and land, choosing any route you wanted. It wasn't just a case of negotiating security devices and ban lines, but it was also not falling foul of sim crossings. The final part of the furthest reaches was incredibly fraught with dangerous ban lines and narrow channels through them. Only 2 or 3 of us made it at that time. These days the possible maximum is greatly extended due to the creation of Belliseria. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Istelathis just posted she did some kind of personal challenge which sounded like this...tagging Stella in case it seems similar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Graves Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 How interesting, given everyone's responses it seems something like this might have more legs than I supposed even though it was done in jest. I haven't played Linden Realms or Starchild Rally (or even heard of this one) as the only "games" I've ever played in SL were roleplay. From what I gather though this is a fairly common game concept even outside of SL.

Aethelwine Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Frostar to Barney's Bay would be a pretty epic journey. You can't get there by water alone, you can switch to road at Lordshore but the last regions you would be sneaking across parcels hoping you don't encounter an orb.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre an inconvenience to sl explorers who arent doing anything wrong...if I was in a sandbox and I was boosted across sl i 'd ar the culprit -what makes these stupid and ppointless gadgets any different ??  Hmmm, SL explorers who aren't doing anything wrong ... Sadly, it's those SL explorers that pop into houses, flats, rooms where they don't have any business to look for that requires for a lot of us to have those security orbs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTUS Palianta Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Maybe people who don't like orbs, like no public access better. 16 years of SL and I've never used a orb.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
