    hello readers =)

    yikes it's been over 3 months since the original post but i'm pleased to report that a rez zone has been installed and indicated on the map with a star.

    i submitted a case (which is under review at the time of this post) to rez a suburban area, like Nova Albion has Shermerville, and although i don't wish for the world or am getting my hopes up about it...i've got my fingers crossed heheh.

    i'm also glad to report that our/the city is at full resident occupancy now so hopefully we can revive the street and city naming project and start doing more community activities.

    oh last thing to report, subject to Michael Linden's schedule, he has agreed to attend an inworld ceremony (in the city) to unveil a small plaque commerating the TSL and Main grid merge.

    perhaps i could setup some land requesting resident involvment to create the content..i'm still working on the wording for plaque though..thoughts?

    Although I pondered the thought of a TSL continent community, which would include the city, it was not my intention of saying 'hey - over here, come visit..' to boost land prices (even though I think L$25 per sqm for 2x prim land is viable), but with the aspect of generating further resident awareness and hopefully to achieve a virtual community/neighbourhood experience not only with Resident input but also with Linden interaction, similar to the days of old..well what I've heard.

    Personally I see Nova Albion as the big sister city (not the gatekeepers of Rapture type) and whilst our small community develops, believe we can learn from the original City Community and its Residents.

    Thank you to all the Residents that have participated and read this thread so far...making it a red balloon (hot topic).

    @Marianne /me waves.

    @Osprey - hahaha zombies, that would of definately been fun but as long as teen users didn't suffer from e-Posttraumatic stress.

    @Baloo - I'm not 100% sure but assume user restrictions (perhaps based on RL age) were enabled preventing general adult users into the teen grid and vice versa, even though we were all on Agni.

    @Pussycat - I asked the same question, will the city transfer to Sansara like Teen Bay City, and at this time, it is unplanned and will remain as-is.

    @Melita - although I sent an IM to each landowner (06-17) before posting this thread, I think 2 weeks should be enough time to reassess input, so lets say 07-01 for the street (unofficial) naming to close.  I understand your comments as to limit final voting to landowners but initially I was thinking of a community response as a whole as I'm not one for exclusion but have noted your concerns.  Sorry for not asking you regarding the city name, but I think you moved in during the second wave of land auctions and I can't access my home PC to check dates the city name IM was sent, but can confirm, no, this is not all me, I just jumped at the opportunity of being part of the beginning of a sub-virtual community, not to dictate or exclude but to be part of and going from memory some landowners that agreed with the Novatropolis name are Emma Starsider, Eric Carter, Breydon Lane, MGHG Spitteler, DT Zanzibar, Raophel Sosa.

    @Nova Albion members - thank you once again for your participation the IM's I received have been informative and useful, especially surrounding the community aspect.

    @Michael Linden - thank you once again sir for your recent rebuilding and repair work.

    Once the city is repaired and at 100% resident occupancy my next project is a Resident Help Network Group (to be based within the city) so watch the forums if you are interested or would like to volunteer.

    Happy Friday :matte-motes-nerdy:

    Hi Melita, hope this helps:

     

    1. No Gamxor is resident and yes this is for fun (here's a response from Guy Linden: " I know some residents try to create lore for specific areas and give them names.  Although not official, they can catch on and become known by those names.").
    2. Could you please assign your suggestions to a colour for vote inclusion (am working on a basic voting system in-world at Loki 128/128) and currently there is no naming theme.
    3. Once adults moved in and the majority of teens moved out, we wanted to differentiate the city from the original Nova Albion (so people weren't confused and so we could start our own community).  The city suggestions at the time were either New Albion or Novatropolis, where the majority (landowners) agreed with the latter.
    4. I have a few other ideas for the city but this really depends on the Lindens for example a plaque to be laid by Rodvik Linden commerating the teen and main grid merge and also a community center...but this is still pending approval/confirmation (fingers crossed)

    Well it's Friday afternoon here and less than an hour remains of my work day..I did a brief region 'name' search, hoping to be inspired for street name suggestions and following are a few keywords:

    Hippoden: Hippopotamus amphibious; den

    Hyperion: Greek mythology; moon; portable computer (some anagrams 'pony hire' and um..'horny pie').

    Loki: Norse mythology; close

    Ni: nickel / metal; atomic number 28; 7th note of the Indian scale

    Happy Friday :smileyvery-happy:

    Update (1) - Well it's just past midnight now and here's what I've got so far (includes some previous suggestions).

     

    • White 1: Novatropolis Highway 2.4 (incorporates viewer version (2.4) released Dec 16 2010 prior to the merge)
    • White 2: Blumfield Road (appreciation to Michael Linden)
    • White 3: Izzy Stravenue (appreciation to Izzy Linden

     

    • Hippoden: Green & Pink Potamus Loop or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H Loop (..hmm maybe the Hippos! badge is too long)
    • Hyperion: Yellow Riverview Road; Orange Laptop Crescent
    • Loki: Red TSL Drive (appreciation of the former Teen Second Life grid); Cyan Gamxor Lane (..hehe)
    • Ni: Blue Jolly Rogers Way; Teal Shoppers Lane; Purple Shrubbery Street

    I was thinking of using the forums poll function but now that I investigate further, I think it's user-type limited and although I'd prefer to have the responses limited to community accessible platforms, I haven't ruled out google forms.

    Alternatively, I'll see what can be done in-world and hopefully more replies will be submitted within the week.

    Originally recreated on the TSL grid in late 2005 and merged with the main grid early 2011, Novatropolis, referred to by the locals, includes Hippoden, Hyperion, Loki & Ni regions and is the sister city of Nova Albion.

    Although our [merged] city community is relatively new, lets start with street names.  Just 'Reply' to this thread indicating the street colour code followed by your suggestion and type (e.g. Street, Road, Avenue, Way etc)

    HD_HY_LK_NI.png

    Hippoden (HD): Green; Pink; White 1 & 3

    Hyperion (HY): Yellow; Orange; White 1 & 2

    Loki (LK): Red; Cyan; White 1 & 2

    Ni (NI): Blue; Teal; Purple; White 1 & 3

    Note - White 1, 2 and 3 refer to region crossing streets/roads/bridges

    We (not limited to the Novatropolis community) can finalise names by vote/poll before submitting a case ticket requesting street sign installations (subject to approval) by the helpful Michael Linden, who is working on municipal content repairs and rebuilding.
