Taking Manoa
Okay, Winfinity is wrapping up their investigation of the events behind Manoa, and it’s time to move forward on our region in Second Life. So, the question is: do we build the normal boring developer sim, complete with conference rooms and meeting pavilions?
I think you know the answer: No.
Here’s what we’re going to do: we’re going to tame Manoa. We’re going to take this alien planet and turn it into a stunning and successful colony, and we’re going to do it in ways that Winfinity would have never understood. Sustainable, collaborative, and open ways like:
- Carbon-Neutralizing the Sim. Yes, we’re purchasing carbon credits for our sim. More details to follow, but we’re looking forward to being the first carbon-balanced sim on Second Life.
- Working Together Internationally. We’ll be exchanging some space with Metabirds, a leading Japanese metaverse developer we’ll be working with in the future, and we’ll both be working together to make Manoa a great place to spend time.
- Conserving Manoa. Of course, we’ll establish a reservation for the hostile life-forms of Manoa—enter at your own risk! We think the mats are harmless, so you can continue to enjoy their songs throughout the island.
And, in case you forgot, there’s still some time to let Winfinity’s Stratton Briggs know what really went on during Winfinity’s time on Manoa. If he doesn’t pay the L$100,000 reward, we will. He says he wants the last submissions before June 1 “of the current year,” so get them in soon. After that, Centric is taking over—and building a newer, better Manoa for everyone to enjoy.
