UPCOMING EVENTS: Spectators are welcome to watch the continuing adventures of NeoBokrug’s Pathfinder pen-and-paper roleplaying group this Saturday at 10am SLT by the Hambone Slash Arena.  While the party has killed the crimelord who ruined their respective lives, they’ve returned to the streets only to find the city has degenerated into fiery chaos.

Another gory and glorious Fight Night will be held in Hambone Slash at 3pm.  And if you’re not a fan of fighting for whatever reason, you can make your own Arena maps to mutilate your friends by proxy!

After a week off for the holidays, there will be another meeting of the Wastelands Public Works group after Fight Night finishes up.

Soon after the meeting — barring an as-yet-unannounced Movie Night, which always comes first — Aposiopesis Fullstop will DJ a set of miscellaneous musics from Lunesta Matova’s Monkey Bar.

The Pipe Bomb will feature another round of Swamp Rats Fishing on Sunday at 12pm SLT.  The standard prizes are L$1000 for first place, L$600 for second, and L$400 for third place, but participants can up the stakes with their own contributions.  Furthermore, for anyone interested in creating unique Wastelands fish, rods, or items in the 7Seas system, theblackcloud Oh will soon be able to add custom creations to that server.

EVENTS HIGHLIGHTS: After another session of slashing, bashing, and shoving each other into poisonous spikes, Saturday’s Fight Night concluded with Moondoggie Iger in first place, VoidTraveler Seetan in second, and Aposiopesis Fullstop in third.

Later on at The Pipe Bomb, Aposiopesis Fullstop hoisted her boombox to play another set of music to the gathered crowd.

Sunday’s Swamp Rats Fishing was a fantastically close match which ran down to the very last second, when Moondoggie Iger ousted Aposiopesis Fullstop to take first place, with Finn McCellan coming in a close third.  Thanks to contributions from the crowd, Moondoggie came away with a first prize pot of L$1317, Apo took home L$790, and Finn McCellan filled her pockets with L$526.

LAND INFO: It’s been two months since Hambone Slash opened up to the public, which means that it’s now eligible for the Free Move Program! If you currently own land in any other sim and want to lay claim to land in Hambone Slash, you can transfer your tier there for no charge — avoiding the “down payment” required when buying a new plot.  See the linked Wiki article for more details, and IM NeoBokrug Elytis to get started.

ESTATE NEWS: Neo is still regarding community feedback about the new Healing Machines.  Check this Forum thread to weigh in!
