  1. No Italian would put those kind of toppings on a pizza. In Italy, where the pizza originated, a slice of pizza was a small snack created for peasant workers. An Italian would never eat a whole pizza as a meal for one person.
  2. I've discovered from researching the explorer Magellan Linden, that the strait of sea between the continents of Bellisseria and Satori has no official name yet. And Magellan is Welsh?!?!?! ^ The strait (and the link to Satori) first appeared on 30th March 2021, when the three regions of Carmine Sky, SSPE2223 (ex Cthulhu) and Windover Cay were added in. I would suggest a name for this strait as a nod to Satori's alternative name, Mãebaleia. How about the "Mãebaleia Strait"? Mãe baleia is Portugese for "mother whale", which when studying the Satori continent shape on a map, you can clearly see a mother whale and her calf both leaping into the air. An idea suggestion for the Moles; how about adding in a pair of animesh humpback whales to the strait?! ^ The automated Yavapods which drive on Satori's road network have for years been decorated with the Mãebaleia name too. I also found out that the houses found in the Chalet regions are properly called "fachwerkhaus", a German name meaning "half-timbered house". With that first syllable, no wonder they're called "Chalets" instead! 😜
  3. 2022: @Patch LindenWas the Fantasseria font released publicly yet?
  4. @AethelwineThe regions south of Atanua do have a protected water channel running along their west borders, as my mini-map parcel filter shows. There's no need to move through the private parcels of Chuginadak, Chloris, or Atira. The waterway is a little narrow, but is easily navigable by boat. From Stromberg, the route would pass through multiple water regions and some with protected waterway channels on their borders. People should learn how to enable the parcel/boundary lines filter in their minimaps. It makes avoiding banlines much easier.
  5. Quiz/Quest: Why does the Stromberg water region name share something physically in common with a volcanic region of Linden Realms?! 😜
  6. @Tary AllenI imagine the Stilt Homes main waterway as a salt water sea strait, rather than a fresh water river. The Stilt Homes are an archipelago of small flat sandy islands which neither individually or collectively have mountains, hills, streams or tributaries for naturally occurring fresh water sources to form a main river waterway to flow through the islands.
  7. My turn.... No compromises! 😜
  8. Found a 1950s era inspired song with some unusual lyrics if the Moles and Lindens need more region name ideas.... I swear I heard Da Boom's name in there!!! 😜
  9. Tutti Frutt has had its name corrected to Tutti Frutti.
  10. I have a few water-related questions which I hope Moles or Lindens can answer: 1. Will the Josie Banks region (it currently bridges Newbrooke to the Chalet Homes) be terraformed to allow an east-west deep river channel to pass through it? 2. Will void regions both east and west of Josie Banks be turned into river regions, allowing direct travel from the Stilt Homes to Newbrooke by water? 3. Will all void regions between the Chalet Homes and Newbrooke be made into river/coastal regions that extend as far north as the remainder of Newbrooke potentially does? 4. Will Belliserria's river/boat channel(s) join Satori continent at the Satori region of Stromberg? 5. Will the Log Homes sub-continent ever get a complete northern coastline? A northern coastline would make the coastal journey from the Stilt Homes to the Victorian Homes (and vice-versa) a much shorter and quicker journey than the existing longer southern coastal route. 6. Will the group of South Islandia sea regions north of Bireme ever be joined by protected sea channels to Omoo? This could be achieved quite easily without disrupting the area by moving four existing local sea regions (Lobster Pot, Marianas Trench, Magellan Deep, Albatross Shoals plus one more) to between Omoo and Bireme regions to connect them. 7. Will Gaeta I continent ever be connected to the north coast of Corsica continent with additional water regions?
  11. TEN MORE REGIONS have just been added, filling in the voids between Newbrooke and its 35 new regions. Thimble Pond Farms, Take Five, Tutti Frutt, Alrutti, Womp, Bomp, Baloombomp, Ballomp, Bamp, Boomp @Patch LindenI noticed that the region Tutti Frutt seems to have an i missing from the end of its name ? Mistake or copyright reasons?
  12. I was exploring around Randelsham Forest and Porridge Pot in the Log regions when I had a remarkable Close Encounter with a gigantic spacecraft.... Watch the skies. We are not alone.
  13. Snapshots of the new 35 regions as viewed from Coin Toss in Newbrooke. Two regions north of Coin Toss is Rabbits Too. There's actually an inaccessible null void between them currently, but notice that the two opposite regions roads do align perfectly. While I was over in Rabbits Too, I noticed there are no houses on the parcels there yet, but the parcels are colour coded; green for 512m2 and cyan/turquoise/teal for 1024m2. Photos made possible due to an old memory cache trick
  14. Malvinas Vision has (thankfully) had a name change to Malvinas Boxes.
  15. I have predictions for the future links between Newbank and the 35 new regions. On the north border of Newbank (at 124,252,22) is a short asphalt road pointing northwards to nowhere: On my map, you will see that there is currently a void north of Newbank and south of a new region (of the 35) called Shepherds Coronet. I predict that a future new region (with road) will bridge this void. However, there is no asphalt road along the northern edge of Newbank, only a narrow concrete footpath. And the road is blocked by bollards. You'll have to go one region east to Coin Toss to drive vehicles across on an actual wide asphalt road. To the east of Newbank is Coin Toss region, which DOES have asphalt roads pointing northwards, aiming northwards to Rabbits Too in the group of 35. These north border roads are also to be found in all of Newbrooke's other northern regions. They are called Jazz Band, Funky Blues, Okay Pop, Prince Charming.
  16. I've drawn a new map which shows the 35 new regions (when they appear) in relation to Newbank, the other Newbrooke regions and the Chalet Homes: @Nika TalajErr, excuse me, you don't get to name them. I found them first, just as the British FIRST found and claimed the Falkland Islands in 1592, 224 years before Argentina even existed! 😜
  17. @Lloyd Overland@Daniel Voyager Most definitely not an April Fools Day prank. I posted my findings about the 35 new regions after 12pm BST - if you noticed from my previous post. In England, we have always ended April Fools Day pranks before 12 noon and anyone who continues pranking after 12 noon automatically becomes labelled as the April Fool for the remainder of the day. The traditional time limit makes it more exciting (especially for children at school) to sneak in pranks before the 12 noon deadline. This is because all day pranking would become overly tiresome, predictable, less fun, irritating and disruptive to the normal working day, as April Fools Day is only a fun tradition, not a public holiday. April Fools Day Origin In English folklore, April Fools Day is long associated with the village of Gotham (pronounced Goat'um) in Nottinghamshire and an event from the 13th century. The story goes that King John (1166-1216), the same bad king of the Robin Hood legend, intended to travel through Gotham to Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. At that time in England, any road the king travelled on had to be made a public highway, but the people of Gotham did not want a public highway through their village or to be taxed. The villagers feigned imbecility when the royal messengers arrived. Wherever the messengers went, they saw the rustics engaged in some absurd task. Based on this report, King John determined to have his hunting lodge elsewhere, and the wise men boasted, "We ween there are more fools pass through Gotham than remain in it." According to the 1874 edition of Blount's Tenures of Land, King John's messengers "found some of the inhabitants engaged in endeavouring to drown an eel in a pool of water; some were employed in dragging carts upon a large barn, to shade the wood from the sun; others were tumbling their cheeses down a hill, that they might find their way to Nottingham for sale; and some were employed in hedging in a cuckoo which had perched upon an old bush which stood where the present one now stands; in short, they were all employed in some foolish way or other which convinced the king's servants that it was a village of fools, whence arose the old adage, "the wise men of Gotham" or "the fools of Gotham" The phrase "playing the goat" (to play the fool) originates from Gotham (Goat-ham), as the village was founded by goat farmers. Gotham City from the Batman comics was deliberately named by its creators after the "fools of Gotham", in England.
  18. A new group of 35 regions have appeared to the north of the current Newbrooke homes. But I am appalled by one of the new region names.... @Patch LindenPlease immediately rename "Malvinas Vision" to something less distasteful in respect of this year being the 40th anniversary of the 1982 Falklands War.
  19. "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne was first published in 1869. The story is set in 1866. It is a fictional Victorian era story written and published in the same Victorian era. Therefore it is Victorian science-fiction, not Steampunk.
  20. Found the original birthplace of Second Life ! ^ 333 Linden Street, Hayes Valley, San Francisco, California. The building, or part of it, now seems to be home to a shop called Optical Underground, which sells glasses/spectacles. 😜 Have a look for yourself in Streetview
  21. Second Life won't really be 19 years old either, it is already over 20 years old. Don't forget that SL existed before 2003, it was then called Linden World. The name was changed to Second Life in 2003 after LW came out of it's private Alpha (2001-2002) and public Beta (2002-2003) testing periods.
  22. Will SSPE2223 get its old Cthulhu name back?
  23. Did you know that the SL Moles are alien moles? True! They originally came from a planet called Talpidae, which is a much larger planet than Earth. There's a model of Talpidae at Bay City - Molesworth.
