SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) England is a nation and a non-sovereign country of the UK. Great Britain is just the name of the world's ninth largest island. It isn't a country. There are thousands of other islands in the UK. And I was born on a smaller English island not called "Great Britain". The United Kingdom is the sovereign state owned by the monarchy and Crown that owns England and the other nations of the UK, which includes Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland (and arguably Cornwall too). My nationality is English, my native tongue is English, my ethnicity is English. There isn't a singular "British" nationality, a language called "British", or a "British" ethnicity. They don't exist. "British" is just a one-size-fits-all citizenship (not nationality) of the UK's four nations used for a single, simpler, more efficient UK-wide passport.

ZigZag007 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 English and British don’t mean the same thing—because England and Britain aren’t the same place. To make a centuries-long story short, England is one of three countries located on the island of Great Britain, along with Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom’s full title is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which makes it pretty clear which nations fall under the UK umbrella: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The rest of the island of Ireland is its own nation—the Republic of Ireland. Because England is part of Great Britain, everything English is technically also British, but not everything British is also English. You shouldn’t, for example, refer to the Loch Ness Monster as an English cryptid. It (purportedly) lives in Scotland, so you can call it Scottish or British. In other words, only things from England are English; anything from England, Scotland, or Wales is British. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moles Quartz Mole Posted February 24 Moles Share Posted February 24 Fascinating and important though this discussion of the differences between Britain and England certainly is, I am not at all sure it's on-topic for a thread about Bellisseria. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only two, more or less, to connect at region Dunvegan — where there have been for some months LL' parcels with the promising name "pending protected status", at the eastern end of a string of contiguous LL owned parcels set as "Protected Land", along 4 regions and connecting to the LL road at region Drum. This connection will/would only be usable once there’s an uncluttered path in eastern Dunvegan (will the owners of “.: Land of Moon Pie .:” ever abbandon their parcel?, and would LL grab it for protected status?…), and one or two ocean connecting regions are added, and that after the completion of the western coast of Ranchland. And, due to the way the east coast of Sansara is set up (unlike, say, the waterway between Weston and Sandra), that connection would still offer no sailing/boating-only connections, as one would have to change from watercraft to all-terrain land vehicle at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rumgally/223/165/20 But still, it’s fantastic to see the map growing! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many places where it would just take one person moving off a coastal or water parcel, and then there could be a road or water passageway completed. Linden Lab apparently has more patience than I do in these matters, because I can easily let myself obsess over those parcels and potential routes. I imagine some Linden asking parcel holders if they'd be willing to relocate in exchange for a month or 2 of free tier, but I'm sure some (mostly rental agents) would jack up the price if they thought they could squeeze a deal out of LL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberry Crystal Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It makes me think that they maybe have more than one plan on the go, there are so many variables, including the level of continuing demand for ranch homes! It is like a giant game of connect 4, or whatever that game is called in the US! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond Marchant Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 13 hours ago, 4lice Cerise said: And only two, more or less, to connect at region Dunvegan I am describing how to connect 20m protected water in Sansara to 20m protected water in Bellisseria , which also connects Sansara to the Blake Sea and beyond. We already have connectivity from Bellisseria to Sansara for aircraft at Osmium/Iridium/Platinum. Connecting Dunvegan to Chestnut Grove provides no connection to Bellisseria protected water. Bleaberry Tarn is the Holy Grail. Once you get there, there is a protected water channel down the East River to the Sea of Fables and beyond. No additional LDPW activity is needed in Sansara. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) I've mapped a Bleaberry Tarn (Sansara) to Columbia (Heterocera Atoll) sailing route, which I completed in my Batboat - in both directions. ^ This is the shortest possible route by boat Ive found. It's quite a tricky route, but as long as you're using a minimap with the Property Lines showing, you shouldn't sail into any private parcels accidentally.

A Tarn is a mountain lake formed by a glacier. In SL one might also run into the word as referring to a large Gorean riding bird.

I think this route whilst longer is much easier and quite scenic. Where it looks like I have drawn a house... I am actually tring to show 3 alternatives.. over the years there has been security along one of them making other option preferable, but basically the three are all relatively easy, without leaving protected water.

This route and variations has been used by the Leeward Cruising Club for years due to the amount of open water (good for sailing) , relative lack of orbs and banlines on the shore, and presence of friendly outposts for party venues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
