A friend passed me this hunt info. about the Neo Victoria hunt that runs now through July 31st.   I've always appreciate this fun Steampunk sim that has emphasis on role play and machinima.  They have frequent and regular events going on that you can find on a board see when you land. Be sure to check out the sim go for the hunt too.  Below is their press info.

Teleport down to the VISITORS CENTER (be in the NeoVictoria SIM at its rezz-point and touch the sign that says Visitors Center for a teleporter).  We staged all of the giftie gears in the six round buildings that are part of the Visitor's Center. Leave the Visitor's Center and you are leaving the hunt.  No hints, just poke around the Visitor's Center and you'll find what you're looking for (and maybe more than you expected).

We’ll be presenting 24 gifts in total, adding new gifts over the course of the two weeks, so join our in-world subscriber list if you want an alert when a new one has gone live. [You’ll find a subscriber prim at rezz-point in NeoVictoria SIM.]

NeoVictoria 2nd Anniversary Party

Congratulations to the NeoVictoria sim.  Their 2nd anniversary party was a fun hat themed OOC party, but it's usually a Steampunk based & machinima supported area.  I had a good time dancing and hanging out with some old friends and of course I took a few photos.

Party at NeoVictoria

I was at a fun party tonight at NeoVictoia, which is a steampunk role play area featuring machinima information and areas. I previously blogged this very cool sim here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2010/06/neovictoria.html NeoVictoriaHere.

Tonight was a big party and auction to enhance community and raise a few extra Linden for the sims. I was actually very pleased to win the services of DJ Altair Swords who I have plans to DJ at the haunted mansion for another party soon. The party theme was Dark Alice so I snapped some pics of the cool costumes.

Asil Ares, Sim Owner and Creator

A few nights ago I visited a new sim called NeoVictoria, by owner and creator, Asil Ares, who is also know for her support of machinimatography. There is a website for this sim that you can visit here: NeoVictoriaWebsiteHere.

Asil gave us a tour of the role play and machinima areas. Our group consisted of Asil, myself, and friends and machinimatographers, Lowe Runo and Sonicity Fitzroy of MAG, PROMAG, and Lowe Runo Productions, LLC. We quickly changed into steampunk type clothes and off we went for a nice tour of this very large impressive area. The roleplay setting is a futuristic steampunk area with the character archetypes of the Community Combat System (CCS). NeoVictoria is already recently open, but there is a grand opening being planned for the near future.

NeoVictoria includes a skymall full of steampunk, Victorian and Gothic fashions, accessories, machinima tools and weapons. There was a large practice area and 7 seas. We toured the park, part of the interesting sewer system, maze, and nice machinima areas including settings and information designed to assist and provide for the ultimate machinima filming. I cammed out to see some interesting sites such as a steampunk skyship and other land areas we didnt quite make it to, as there is a lot to see and do. 3 of the 7 rental properties are already rented, but if interested hurry on over. The area is a role play area, not designed to be a build or script zone. Asil provided the rules which do state a request to film needs to be made, but still photos are readily allowed, so I took a few quick shots on our tour.


Lowe and I try out one of the machinima friendly areas.


Asil states it best herself in her website information about why she bought two sims for NeoVictoria. She says, "...it was only a matter of time before I learned I needed the technical control of a full SIM to shoot machinima the way I wanted to make it. And then, the desire to expand that vision into a community began to take hold. I love the possibility of a community whose roleplay isn’t lost once the scene is over. I don’t desire NeoVictoria to be SIM-chain with hundreds of players and dozens of factions, but rather, a small community of gifted artists who work together to bring their stories out of SecondLife and into the world of the real...
There are two SIMs (or regions) in the NeoVictoria estate: Machinima and NeoVictoria. NeoVictoria is our main SIM; here the great Strato Moblis giant airship watches over the town of NeoLondon. The land-level of NeoVictoria will have no rental properties, it purports to be a living city, with a market, church, municipal buildings and role-play shops, as well has an extensive underground. Look for fun stuff and special events to celebrate the opening of the main SIM."
