City of Perdition

I should stop!  I should, but I have a list lined up and can't stop until I get through it.  Next? 
Perdition.

I have been role playing here for about 8 months now and I've had my ups and downs but there is no doubt that the sim is done up perfectly for the type of RP Perdition boasts.  There is not, to my knowledge, a more diverse modern day role play game on the grid.  I did look and many will cry out CRACK DEN! Well...I did say my knowledge and I wouldn't go over to someplace called Crack Den if my Mama begged me with a hundred dolla bill ya'll!

I joined Perdition for one major reason, though I remain for many more....I love the writers.  I came to Role Play from forums, journals, where the level of writing is different.  I was despondent that SL didn't carry the same caliber of writing I was used to.  It was such a great platform.  After a long line of disappointments and such...I found Perdition.  Now, I prefer some good old fashioned fantasy RP but...I will always go where the words are, where the skill is, and so Perdition is my home now.

It is a great example of a city build.  There are tons of little spaces to be, parks, buildings, anything you could possibly need for Role Play.  Now, I could get into the awesomeness of the staff, the people, the stories but I am pretty sure the blog has a limit or how much I can put in, so for the purpose of keeping it short, I will leave a link to the forums, website, and SLURL for your exploration...and show off my city below!
FORUMS  

On to the visuals...


This is my favorite place in Perdition.  I have had...a ton of great role play right here in the market.  The oranges aren't that bad either.



Again, love this spot.



Second favorite place.  It was a hotel and there is a radio station on the top.  I saw someone jump off the roof once.  Great fun.  But now, I think it still has the radio station but is turning into a club.  I think...lol


No city is complete without a park!


This one makes me hungry for some reason.  I think its the pizza shop right across from the local diner. Hmmm nums.



The bad part of town...I never go there...cause I don't want to get robbed and stuff.  But that is the awesome sauce club I always hear about.  LOL


Just to show the diversity...really I think the place has it all, there is no reason to feel like you don't fit! 



Come on!  If you don't think this is an awesome SIM build then I don't know what to tell you people!  Check it out yourselves! -blows bubbles-

Lisbon, Portugal




Where do I go first? I asked my friends, I checked around and I had two immediate places I wanted to blog about. BUT...one is not quite complete and you deserve the full picture. So, to Portugal I go, into Lisbon the city that, I am assured, is the best city in the world. I am half tempted to believe though my friend is simply bias. My flight landed (TP ENDED) and instantly I am hearing voices and the language is...not mine. No worries, I am curious and this is part of traveling, sim? Sim...is yes in Portuguese. Sim, I learn!

The lag is not so horrible which is an instant plus and amidst the sounds of chattering Portuguese people I begin to roam. The place I've landed is a sort of central area with a statue. A statue, I am told, that in Lisbon is a central party point. I, of course, immediately think of all the people who have peed on that statue. Really! I don't know why....but statue and party equals pee to me. Enjoy my math.

So...moving along...


I snap a few shots of the statue of parties and move along passed the shark that threatens to snap at me. Tons of places to shop and well..rent! There is an xtreme shop there, that's where the shark is and it did...finally...eat me...and then it chewed on me while my friends laughed on...until it spit blood out. Ha, that's what they get for their laughter. I think next time I travel, it will be alone. Still, I do suggest you try the shark, if for nothing else then a great laugh.

Ponder Moment: We do we laugh at someone being eaten by a shark? It isn't really funny at all, is it?

I wanted to get lost and so off of the main square I went. I spotted some great places to rent..land for rent spots on the beach. Completely open and I don't even know why, they were right near a main hub of shopping and traffic and people and if you want to live in a city...this is the place, right?

This is also the place for sports. EA Sports, it's in the game....clearly I've been playing too many video games. Not successfully of course, I know about sports, I cannot and will not play them and mostly...I just like the

way the crowd feels. And the hotdogs! I...love...food. Each event has a song and a food. It's my mantra in life I tell you. Okay, so in Lisbon the sport...of sports...is futebol..soccer. And never..ever...ever talk against the Lisbon Lions. It's sacrilege here.

So EA SPORTS? Really, it's just EA SOCCER/FUTEBOL. Tons of great jerseys though and yes, I got me one. You don't go anywhere in the world and not get a shirt!

I took my jersey and skipped on down the road. Lots of places to rent and lots of empty spots. I want to get lost, go down side streets, find some hidden cafe...like I would in the REAL PLACE....-sighs- so I did find a few little twists and turns that ended me in another little open area. Can you guess? A park sandbox....always a handy dandy thing to have around. Did I mention the shopping? Lots of shopping spots. Is that what we do in SL most...that is what I am wondering and I am not..AM NOT asking myself because...that's a lot of what I do in SL.


So in all, I did enjoy my day in Lisbon and I did actually get in a fun dance with a funny lady who..I didn't understand at all...but wow could she move. The people are friendly, the place is not laggy, and while it could use some more FEEL for the city itself, it was pretty fun and ...I got eaten by a shark. Who is complaining?!
