I had a look at https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SSP264/54/255 and the text is more clear there. I can now see that it says "ERMAGERD WÜRFFEL HOOSE".

The new regions that have been released over the past couple of weeks seem even nicer than the ones before. With all the little variations in the landscaping in each region it's beautiful. Hats off to the Moles!!:) I'm so looking forward to the future themes, to see what they come up with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionalein Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 7 hours ago, Fritigern Gothly said: Has anyone noticed this one yet? It disappears when you zoom in, so it may accidentally be showing on the map. The text seems to say "Würffel House", which would be a play on "Waffle House", and "Würfel" is german for "cube". As for the structure itself, I am guessing that it's the diner which is the current premium gift. But what if it isn't? So it's a gambling den? Würfel actually means dice - a cube would be a Kubus. The word Würfel is just used as synonyme for cubes in common speech because most dice are ... well cubes. Würffel with 2 f however must clearly be a name as that spelling variant isn't legit otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just play on Waffle House. Just in case you (or someone else) don't know, Waffle House is a chain of restaurants where you can get breakfast 24/7 And if you already knew, I'm sure there's someone that doesn't 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raevyn Addams Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I honestly think the Moles and Lindens love doing things like this purely for the speculation it generates. They probably have a good chuckle back and forth reading out the comments, or scratch their heads and wonder what any of us were thinking. Good for a laugh. I don't ever expect anything is as it appears until its revealed. #trustnoone 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raevyn Addams Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Okay so maybe it's been mentioned before and I think I am going cross-eyed reading through the various topics here trying to find the relevant information. So please forgive me if the answer is there and I just overlooked it. But does anyone know or have some convincing theories (since speculation has become a sport) as to what the coloured mega-prims above each region mean; the ones being worked on? I theorize it's likely to do with QC or stages of completion perhaps, but since I'm an expert of little, I thought I'd actually ask others who might know. I was just camming around as I've never really bothered before to such an extent, generally just relying on pictures here for updates. Now I see these squares (and have seen them on other pictures of course) inquiring minds would like to know... or at least have some idea... or a good guess that gets the old grey matter ticking over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Halfway House as in a special place for them to reside when they have been released from prison under supervision before they are set free into the community) ...and also perhaps @Love Zhaoying 's Waffle House test facility for aftershock trials due to extensive terraforming aftershocks? Those Clever Moles would probably create a Multi-Purpose Centre! 👆 Waffler!!! 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritigern Gothly Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Updates at the "Würffel Hoose". 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Had a thought about the Würffel Hoose -- It could easily be Patch's "large community area" for the trailers. We have the Pickle Shack or whatever for the boats -- and I will pick the swimming pools (I think there are four maybe?) as the icon community area for the tradtionals. I was thinking "lake" when he made that comment and this is pretty lake-like (though not as I imagined it). And it looks like docks going in -- so rez areas for boats. Not sure about the big prim floating over the hills. Looks mostly like it is hiding something down below in the mountain area :D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritigern Gothly Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I can see my house from here!!! Standing on one of the house boats in SSPE216, looking out over the Sea of Fourze (Or Quartz Lake as @Beth Macbain calls it ) I did not expect to be able see all the way across it, but I actually CAN see my houseboat from there! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
