Looking For Staff Writers

Am sure many of you have noticed the inconsistency of late when it comes to the posting around here. I am afraid that I have to admit that it isn't really anyone's  fault more than my own. A constant comment, that am sure you will recall if you've read a few of the articles we've written, is that real life always comes before second life. In my case I've had a lot of changes in my real life of late, which has cut down on the amount of time that I have available to spend in second life. Which has been making keeping up with what is going on in world a bit difficult.

That isn't an excuse for leaving so much unsaid here on these pages. It isn't an excuse at all. But it is the reality of things where I am currently. Which leaves me a few options. I can either look for some new willing writers, or I've even thought about closing the blog.

But I don't want to do that. Everyone has spent so much time on this, and I appreciate everything everyone has done as we've worked together on the content here. So I've decided that I'm going to start looking for some writers. If you're interested in writing for the blog, just contact me by note in second life.

I'm looking for a variety of content types. As you know, we cover a little bit of everything here, and that means anything more or less goes, as long as the general theme is still adhered to. (What that is these days I'm a little unsure of.)

Anyhow. I'm looking for people willing to do the following types of content.
~ Board Runs
~Style Cards
~Creative Writing
~Book Reviews
~Fashion/Content Reviews (Second Life)
~Opinion Pieces

If you think you have what it takes to be a Sass Pack Writer, please do contact me. I greatly appreciate it.

Yours kindly,
Tiamet

Wild Hunt at the Kingdom

Review Written by Nykkee Resident

Ok, this is a game they play at the Kingdom of Pleasure that I think is pretty cool. I didn't understand it at first, but was glad to be there for it and having a chance to participate in it.

Now the day they had it the hunters and prey where pretty even as far as body's on the sim which doesn't happen often but for something like this it was nice change.

The name of the game is wild hunt. The point of the game is to see if the hunters can get all the prey on the sim naked......now the hunters would give chase and once he had one of the pray capped he would begin to strip her once her cloths/silks are off they had to release them and the prey till the end of the game had to stay naked .....

The small twist of the game is the hunters only have a small window of time to get all the prey naked. Once a member of the prey team is naked they are able to run around and help the other prey to keep from being capped. They are also able to hinder the hunters by shooting them and running between them and the prey they are trying to hunt....

When the time is up and the guards look around at all the prey if the hunters have gotten them all naked then they win ....if not the prey win.

now this was my first time playing this and the fact that it was pretty much even for hunters to prey made the game that much more fun and so everyone knows......*smiles big*the prey won that time.

talking with a few of the prey and very few of the hunters i was trying to get a feel for how others felt about the wild hunt event and some thoughts on it...truth be told in the amount of people i asked it was like pulling teeth no one had any real opinion  on the topic at all i wanted to show what others felt and heres what i got.

From the prey ~ I had a few tell me how much they liked it but the lag they said gets 10x's worse and that's one thing they didn't like about it now we all know that lag happens everywhere so that to me isn't a real topic. One girl told me" Carri Vaniva: would be nice if they had more... regularly" but others and I mean a lot of others haven't even seen the event, some being new or just on a different time zone and they're unable to make it. I had another girl I talked to say she also likes it. See a clip of our conversation below.

 "Marja Geesink: i like the wild hunt ,you don't have to role play but it is fun but not too often
 nykkee Resident: its something different for a change
 nykkee Resident: to pull everyone together just to have fun
  Marja Geesink: indeed and the best one seven they get captured  but not always btw
  nykkee Resident: ok
  nykkee Resident: how often do they hold the events?
 Marja Geesink: well i am European time ,so not often for me
 nykkee Resident: ahh ok
 nykkee Resident: but when your able too you try to make it if they have one?
 Marja Geesink: yes i do , guard or long time one of sl  lol"

As you can see from the small clip of this conversation  I had with this member of the prey group, most like it and wish to have it again, just as I thought. The hunters on the other hand they either didn't know what I was talking about or didn't care to talk to me about it. I got one that told me he liked the event but that was all ....man of many words *laughs*

Mystical Pleasures : Slave Auction

We all have a time when there's someone that we'd simply adore to have time with, but can't quite manage to catch up with them. This is your chance to get that time. Hopefully you've saved up all your L (every little bit adds up you know) because the auction is active today! The auction is done to both open up an avenue of fun competition between bidders, as well as to help sponsor the sim. Running from August 10th through the 18th the Auction is your chance to spend rp time with the 'slave' of your choice. You can check out the status of the auction by viewing the boards on the sim. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Garden%20of%20Stygia/116/159/22
