Greetings to all. Renaissance Island, created in 2007, has been a venue in the Tudor period of English history. There are several areas which can be used as a virtual classroom. There are exhibits of printing, weaving, sheep farming and other agricultural life. There is also a horse/hiking trail with information on the Tudors. Another trail is currently under renovations and when ready will have information on the impact the monarchs had on England economically, religiously and life among the commoners. Other events in Renaissance Island are live music, storytelling, and occasional hunt, and sidewalk sales in Merchant's Row. The below landmarks will take you to the various areas of the region for exploration at your leisure. Enjoy your visit. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/191/190/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/10/147/502 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/119/104/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/195/53/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/226/56/2003 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/81/172/27 Amza Hydraconis Estate Manager Renaissance Island

Hi. I hope this will get the attention of someone from LL. Sending a support ticket involves knowing everything about your computer doesn't work for me as I don't know everything about my computer/laptop; just enough to get by on and fix minor problems. Anything more complicated than that and I'm left scratching my head since I have no clue where to locate the information the ticket wants and won't let you skip it. This morning, I logged in and was shunted off to another sim. Unfortunately, it was an adult sim, not where I really wanted to be. Now I understand when a region is offline you will get sent somewhere else, but I would prefer not to end up in an adult sim where I would be accosted by some unwelcome invitations. What would be good would be one of the Help Islands or Orientation Island or just plain dropped in the Blake Seas regions or given a choice as to where to go when a sim is offline. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi. I wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought this was the best way. I had just seen the blog post about purchasing last names. How does one go about it; what is the purchase price; can they be gifted? Thank you for your time and consideration. Amza Hydraconis

Hi. I'm the estate manager of a region and need some information to convey to the region owner. I need to know how to set prim allowances in the About Land window when I make individual parcels for rent. Is there anywhere I can look that up? I couldn't find anything to help me in the SL Wiki. Thank you for your time and consideration. Amza Hydraconis

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to find out about the celebration other than the blog? I was hoping a notice would have been sent through the SLB Community Celebration group, but it seems the group has not been active. I have not been able to find the website that would have given me the information for exhibitors. I don't always get on SL's website due to a busy RL. Thank you. Amza Hydraconis

Good den. Renaissance Island was one of the early pioneers in helping students and educators maximize the benefits of Second Life in the classroom. It grew into a diverse cultural community interested in English history and culture of the Tudor period. Created by librarians with the sponsorship of the Alliance Library Services, Renaissance Island began in February 2007. Now sponsored by the South Central Regional Library Council located in Ithaca, New York, Renaissance Island is in its 13th year in Second Life. The region is supported by its residents and donations. We have storytelling and music performers. On occasion, we have jousting, horse racing and other sports that we enjoy today. Renaissance Island is open to all educators teaching this aspect of English history, free of charge. If you wish to have a tour of the region before bringing a class, contact Baroness Anne de Darcy(Amza Hydraconis) via notecard. Thank you

Greetings. Renaissance Island is having a Sidewalk Sale February 23, 2020 to March 7, 2020. For vendors interested in participating, stalls are for rent for five Lindens for the two weeks with a 10 prim limit. After paying the box, ignore it when it expires as the script only allows for weekly payments. Set up is February 21 & 22, 2020. Your items must be Renaissance related and we ask you set at least two items at 33% off the regular price. Contact Amza Hydraconis via notecard to be temporarily added to the Tenants group so you may be able to rez your items. Merchants Row/Renaissance Island (216,121,27)

Good Morrow. Do you have an interest in Tudor, England? Have you always wanted to learn more about this intriguing and pivotal period? If yes, Renaissance Island’s Parish of Reading Primley may be the place for you! At Renaissance Island we learn through doing. Whatever education, general interest, or roleplaying experience you have, this is an opportunity to participate in a living museum. Mix healing remedies in the apothecary! Stage a play at the Globe Theatre! There are many ideas as to how a Globe Theatre came to be in our Parish! Share a glass of cider at the pub—we’ve been told it’s the best in all the land! Create a book or tell a story! Partake of a jousting tournie! Attend a period music concert--or play a tune yourself! There are many, many ways to participate! Residency is not a requirement; i.e. you can roleplay without having to rent (though we are always very appreciative for those who do). You do not even have to be human! Although period clothing is unnecessary for visitors, for those wanting to be part of the Parish, it is required; otherwise, it might call too much attention to ourselves. We’ve done well to not have had any accusations of witchcraft over the years! We’ve also never been visited by the plague. Some say it is because of the cats that roam; others say that it’s the vapors that emanate from our sacred well. We are a very welcoming Parish, as a result. Renaissance Island can never be 100% authentic, but we can take certain measures. Ours is a journey to authenticity as we learn more about the period and building/scripting advances. For instance, birds and quadruped animal avatars need to be species that one would find in a Tudor parish or native to England. There was a time a visiting elephant escaped…. There are several options for characters: All roleplay positions are volunteer positions. Below are the roles we have left. HUMANS: Librarian (the sim is sponsored by a library organization, after all!) Printer Blacksmith Manor servants Townsfolk Theatre Director Actors Children (Real life adults wearing a child avatar) Tavern Keeper Miller Sheep Farmers From time to time the Parish may need to contribute to a militia, which in turn would need to have practice and exercises. So far, we’ve never been invaded by outside forces. Those with scripting and/or building skills most welcome. ANIMALS: Farm animals (especially sheep) Dogs Cats Birds native to England Deer native to England Or, pitch us an idea! Contact Amza Hydraconis via notecard or IM for more information, questions and/or a tour. The name of the notecard should be in the following format: Date To Amza Hydraconis frm your user name.

Hi. I was wondering if there is a height limit on how high an object can be placed above a sim or can it be changed and where can you change it? I have been on some platforms that were over 7,000m above a sim, but on a sim I manage, I can only place an object at 4096m. It won't go any higher. Thank you for your time and consideration. Amza Hydraconis

Hi. I pretty much said so in my first post.

Hello. I would like to post an event in the Events Calendar, but I cannot post the landmark/slurl. I am the estate manager of the sim with full officer powers in the group, which includes Hosting Events ability. Is there something I have to do in order to be allowed to post the landmark/slurl? Also, the group is not listed as an allowed group on the sim. Does this need to be done to be able to post the LM/SLURL? Thank you for your time and consideration Amza Hydraconis Estate Manager Renaissance Island

Greetings. Since no one had an idea as to what is causing my prims to not appear in the About Land window of the sim I'm managing, I feel I need to put in a support ticket. How do I find the Jira so I can register with it and submit a support ticket. Thank you very much. Amza Hydraconis

Yes. I have full powers within the group tied to the one sim. The two sims are owned by two different people, therefore two different groups.

Hi I am an estate manager of two different sims. Lately, when I check the sim's rez zones for objects visitors may leave behind, I use the About Land window to check for these items. I have noticed that while it will show other people's objects, mine do not show up at all on the one sim. I pulled out a prim counter, and according to it, I don't have a single object on this particular sim, and I have objects all over that sim in all the parcels. I use the same prim counter on the other sim, and it counts all my objects that are on it. The Area Search window does show my objects in both sims. Is there some reason why the one sim won't show my objects in the About Land window while it does in the other sim? Also, another estate manager for the problem sim, went around and checked and discovered that the prim counts were off for things in her shop and for a couple of others. Thank you very much for you time and consideration. Amza Hydraconis
