Where is Patch's latest from? I don't see any recent forum posts (unless I'm missing something).

I vote for Belli Dancing too! So excited for the 6 month package 😍

During "Pose with Santa Patch" yesterday at the Christmas Expo, Patch would ask everyone what they wanted for Christmas, and a few people said a stilt release. His reply was something like "I'll see what I can do!" (paraphrased, my local chat history is AWOL). Not officially confirming of course, but possibly hinting at a before-Christmas release

That happened to me recently too lol, I've always wondered how a "nearby region" is determined. You'd think it'd at least be general instead of adult.

This would also mean lots of upset landholders, if they make a typo when typing their tier donation (or miscalculate how much they need to donate).

I actually didn't know this lol -- will definitely be useful!

One of the best spots ever -- congrats!

All the houses have the name "chalet" in them (if you right-click to see their name), so that's all I was implying. After I posted that, Patch also confirmed they would be called chalets -- someone else had asked in-world when the region opened.

The new theme is chalets! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Happy Christmahaunakwanzika/130/11/23

I have a shop in the Expo, and confirmed last night the Expo regions open at 6 am SLT tomorrow. That doesn't mean the reveal region will be open then, but last year w/ the Victorian reveal it was shortly after 6 am (IIRC).

I can, I just unpacked them from my Vic this morning!

Sold!

50% off at Nutmeg as well! Now until Monday:

Final reduction to L$60k!

I got in multiple times yesterday, it was never completely full!

Now discounted to $65k.

No release today either (from Belli Citizens chat): [09:56] Patch Linden: Nope, see, it doesn't work - sorry no stilt homes today™ [10:26] Patch Linden: So really, here's the deal. [10:26] Patch Linden: They have shown up on the map, just like any other release we've done. [10:27] Patch Linden: It takes time to QA walk every one of those regions, in-person to find and correct any last minute things that need to be tidied up. [10:27] Patch Linden: How many days have they been there? [10:27] Patch Linden: We're on regions #15 [10:28] Patch Linden: 1 -5, fifteen [10:28] Patch Linden: Of how many regions? [10:28] Patch Linden: So yah, it's gonna be a bit longer, we have to get through this process of checking them all out. [10:29] Patch Linden: And we're not totally in the clear with uplift still [10:30] Patch Linden: We'll get them out there, I know this is fun.... but that button is still hair too far out of reach [10:30] Patch Linden: In the mean time, don't forget the demo region is still open, and I'll leave it open a bit longer

Down to $70k!

It's the Bellisseria Citizens group chat (search for Bellisseria groups and it's the one with ~5000 members). Lindens and Moles occasionally chat w/ all the residents.

We can all relax for today at least, Patch just gave this update in Belli chat: [12:28] Patch Linden: No Stilt Homes release today™ [12:29] Patch Linden: I never said it would be today and I'm not saying it'll be tomorrow, it'll be when they are ready.

Patch just gave another hint in Belli chat, which some have guessed in this thread already [12:19] Patch Linden: It is not an american-inspired theme... and there's your only clue for the day. Also: [12:36] Patch Linden: We will never do townhouses or apartments, so that can safely be crossed of the lists [12:36] Patch Linden: Yep, they are fun themes to entertain, but yeah very challenging to enforce for

I love some of the region names, like Tuna Turner, Marlin Monroe, Nat Kingfish Cod, Swim Shady, Salmon and Gillfunkle, Sharkira 😄

Looks like more houseboats interspersed among the stilts too!

11 themes in total now! Does this mean a double theme release before the end of the year (or even this month)?

Still available, now $75k!
