In the Village of Nyght
We are going to be looking at the phenomenon of story-telling in Second Life, with the help of talented storyteller and real life folklorist Afsaneh Metaluna - but we're going to be doing it in The Village of Nyght in Dunwich, where you are invited to join us (rather than in our Northpoint studio).
In the first part of the show, Saffia talks to Afsaneh about how she became involved in Second Life storytelling, while Elrik talks to Anara Serevi about The Village of Nyght and how it came into being.
In the second half of the show, we will be listening to Afsaneh tell a ghostly story for Halloween while we invite you to join us around a decidedly spooky campfire!
But don't believe all the rumours you hear about zombies on the loose in
The Village of Nyght comic in Prim Perfect magazine The Village of Nyght. Despite what happened to the Prim Perfect reporter Rowan Derryth and photographer PJ Trenton (as recorded in the latest edition of Prim Perfect, Page 66), we are assured that the village is perfectly safe and zombie-free. Really.
The show starts at 2pm SLT, but you should be in Dunwich by 1.30pm at the very latest to make sure of getting a seat around the campfire as this is likely to be a very popular show. And you will be able to pick up zombie-fighting equipment should you, you know, ever happen to need it!
Or tune in at 2pm SLT on Monday for the live show – where you can now chat with other audience members and even some of the participants during the show – or catch it later in the week on our shows page on the Treet.tv web site.
Concerned about Zombie Attack? Be Prepared!
As we approach that difficult time of year when the risk of Zombie attack reaches its zenith, you may well turn your attention to how you might defend yourself, and the members of the Fair Sex in your life, from the ravages of the Undead.
In my personal view, any Steampunk gentleman worth his salt could do no better than to arm himself with the D-Z Tesla Ray Rifle shown here and available from the SL Marketplace, as employed by me recently to defend my delectable interviewee, Miss Anara Serevi, and myself from an unexpected Zombie attack during the course of Designing Worlds' recent excursion to the Village of Nyght. I heartily recommend this device and emphasise that I have no association whatsoever with the purveyor of said apparatus and speak only from personal experience.
This exceptionally well-detailed weapon has a vast array of resources that may be deployed against all manner of assailants, and conforms to many of the commonly available combat systems found in-world.
In my personal opinion, the most effective mode for despatching the Undead is the Plasma Ball facility. This unleashes an exceptionally powerful ball of compact electrical energy against one's assailants, driving them a considerable distance across the region in a manner reminiscent of the game of Ninepins. I find this approach preferable to the use of projectiles (though this weapon also provides such facilities) in that it avoids exposing the Ladies' sensibilities to the sight, and potential spattering, of the blood of the aforementioned assailants. The Plasma effect also serves to sterilise the area, which may be found to be a most efficacious approach.
However I would warn the operator not to attempt to employ the Plasma Ball in a confined space as this may result in the Ball being unable to escape in the direction fired: this may have, shall we say, undesirable consequences. Instead, attempt to attain a high location, such as a flight of Steps, adjacent to an open area, where one has a suitable view of the disposition of potential assailants and can despatch them swiftly and effectively.
In addition to its effective operation, you will find the Tesla Ray Rifle to be finely crafted and constructed of hard-wearing and elegant materials, and also that when recharging, the weapon produces a fearsome Sound as the bolt of electrical energy is being prepared such that in and of itself it may be found to have effective deterrent capabilities.
