SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) It's correct and acceptable that there are some English influenced names in the Mediterranean theme, as there are still some British Overseas Territories located in the Mediterranean Sea.

Names: Ranch (6): Noname Crossroads, Dustup, Prairie Chicken, Kiowa Ridge, Mairzy Doats, Okie Dokie. Mediterranean (5): Pelotas, Pronto, Cape Madelaina, Promesa Verde, Lac de Larmes.

Those in the south of Mediterranean are a surprise. I didn't expect the Medi regions to jut out that close to Ranch and Stilts there. This makes me wonder if the train line connection will be at one of those other Ranch regions there.

Yay! Once the water regions are filled in I’m going to have a ‘ringside seat’ from my Starboard Lights house to watch all the boats go by!

Raspberry Crystal Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Wow, Mairzy Doats is an old song reference! Lyrics (1943) I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon Some call it pretty, others call it crazy But they all sing this tune: Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy" Oh!

Hmm looks promising for a tunnel from Marimba or Admiral Bligh. Both are homesteads, no homes. Marimba is less developed, and the ranch railroad already takes a bend there to go along the coast. Seems intuitive to put a Y connection there ... All of the new med regions are fully set up with homes and landscaping, almost certainly tiles. Moles are still active there, possibly QA. All also have roads clipped at the void edges. We have yet to see a homestead in the Meds, so still no idea where a community region will land. I bet it will be gorgeous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Magic 8-Ball says that the railbed located here http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SSPEtoile Brillante/45/2/22 wiil turn west towards Typhoon because 1. The railbed running through Marimba and Admiral Bligh appears finished and the Moles rarely do rework 2. @Abnor Mole has told us that Typhoon is not done 3. Cam inspection of Cape Madelaina and regions south do not appear to have railbeds (so it will not turn east) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) A rail line from Marimba to a region just west of Lac de Larmes would be the most direct, just one more region with no houses on it, and LL prefers to build regions that pay for themselves. Will it be an underwater tunnel or a bridge though? I'm hoping for a bridge. As for where the Mediterranean community region will be, I'm going to bet on the region just north of Outwash. It would be fairly central, near an existing bridge and road, and not too far from where I think the Ranch community region will be at Briar Hill. p.s. Either way, it will take 3 more new regions and a rail connection added to an existing region to complete the connection between the Ranch and Mediterranean regions.

Persephone Emerald Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Six new regions have been added to connect the Ranch and Mediterranean regions: From Typhoon to the rail line: SSP Lobster Bisque, SSP Cougar Den, & SSP Midnight Waltz From Michael Row to the railway bridge: SSP Windward Drift & SSP Subtle Joy From Admiral Bligh to the railway bridge: SSP Escape Quay 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Just to be very clear, this is the new layout. The brown line shows the railroad line, which is on land until the southern edge of SSPSubtle Joy, at which point the rail bridge begins and joins the Ranches at a (newly installed) Y in Marimba. Note that the riverbank in Ouranios has been broken through, so the river now goes N/S all the way through the meds, uninterrupted. ETA: Community Regions are Full Regions, not Homesteads. And it's always nice to have rail go through them. So ... possibly Midnight Waltz or Subtle Joy? Edited March 8 by Nika Talaj 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) The new rail bridge reaches the same height as the Goodge Reef/Typhoon road bridge, which is fine. But at the moment, the rail bridge's columns are only 10 metres apart from each other, which simply isn't wide enough for a catamaran/trimaran or larger vessels to pass between. I hope it gets a wider central arch span in the middle of it for a main boat channel like the Goodge Reef/Typhoon bridge has.

diamond Marchant Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Fortunately, the bridge columns are far enough apart to allow an Infinity Freight Barge to pass, hence, we will be able to supply this part of Bellisseria with the essentials for virtual life.

Moles Abnor Mole Posted March 10 Moles Share Posted March 10 (edited) We literally just started on it. It's not open or even finalized yet. Unless you want us to go back to not allowing access to live built regions before they are finished you all might want to wait until it is before you start picking it apart in your rush to list your complaints. 🙄 Edited March 10 by Abnor Mole 8 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
