If you are going to mention anime with steampunk, then a reference to steamboy would be more appropriate. There does not have to be an underwriting sense of fantasy and superhuman capabilities to be anime. In the anime there were aspects that were...

Great Post Bob. I agree 100% with all you said, you just said it better then I could.

funny, as i was reading this, i was thinking the same could be said for the RL city i live in. perhaps it's gentrification (in it victorian form) and natural evolution of communities as they grow. your post was well said, and thoughtful. worth a r...

I do not refer to the pockets of green trilo. I agree in any city, even one with pollution such as babbage, there would be some remaining green. Such as in palisades, green is acceptable to an extent, and in parts of wheatstone, green makes sense....

::grins:: understood... besides, I don't have a gang to feel cracked about. And yes, it is amazing to see how people behave over perceived turf, RL or anywhere else. There's one group RL I'm involved with that I swear, we should just start with so...

Wonderful post, Bob... and I get what you're saying about what people usually mean when they say "community." But please know that when I use it, I'm not saying "my gang" -- just the opposite. To have a community, everybody must not only be inclu...

Profile Information

What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
Some of my friends had me come on to SL with them and the first place I met them at was New Babbage, been hooked ever since.
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
I am wanderer that has found his way to New Babbage. When I was younger my village was destroyed but opposing soldiers, and all I knew, friends and family, we murdered. I was able to escape and taken by a village known for their ability to manipulate fire. There I learnt a bit of it before I took up arms and fought for my country. After the war I began wandering to try and find a place I belonged, a home. I have seen many hardships in my so time here and hope that New Babbage will be the city that save me from having to wander any longer.

If you care to read the long version of this feel free to go to my blogspot.

VP Ironworks set to open soon

So an a few of you know, I no longer live in the Palisades. My home and yard are no longer. No, I am not leaving, simply relocating. I had an idea and ran with it. So soon VP Ironworks will be open in the south western corner of the new sim. The build is up already and that factory is up and running (Thanks to greg for helping me with the scripting) if you would like to take a look.

This factory will be a production factory geared towards Ironclad ships. Not only will it sell ships which I am c… Continue

A simple consideration

I hate politics, really I do. Also love then, because I hope that there will one day be civility in them, though probably not.

So, a bit ago Shaun decided to sell Babbage, and the way he put it up for sale was quite smart actually. Instead of a blind sale, sell it to the person, or group now, that the people choose. Everyone applauded this and was looking forward to see what would happen, most were optimistic about it. I knew there would be grilling of the candidates, there always is in politic… Continue

A confrontation with Jason Moriarty

This morning seemed like a normal day. Woke up and laid on the sofa with my dear, just idly chatting. This would all change in a hurry. We were relaxing unarmed, as who would be armed in their own home, when the noise of our front door opening startled us. I looked to the door and no one was there until a black hole formed on the ground before myself and Orchid. Slowly out of it crept a face that I had only seen once previously but would recognize anywhere, Jason Moriarty. Immediately he said “I… Continue

Hello, old friend.

Tell me, sir, how DO you keep those shoulder-mounted photosynthetic ion cannons stable?

I'd hate to see you lose your head during one of your fabulous performances.
