Meethree, Meetwo, Me Loves...Meeroos


So this year, thanks to my dear friends Ky and Miguel, I was sucked into the world of breedables.  Now you all may turn up your nose, think its silly, even say...ITS JUST PRIMS...but I say....BOO!  After birthing my first horse, I was hooked.  I am, by no means, a professional breeder, but in the months since I have begun I have breed out traits on Amaretto Horses, BioBreed Dogs, KittyCats, Turtles, Fish, Lambs, Butterflies, and Fireflies....and I am, as so many are, anxiously awaiting my Meeroos.  Sure, I got into Beta, but thats just....horrible torture!  You get this little balls of prim with these adorable faces and noises and this uncanny desire to interact with your avi. "Pwease, pick me up...luvs me.." and what do you do?  You love them...and what happens in Beta?  They are taken from you!!! TAKEN!  -breathes- ......................

Okay okay, I am better now...-clears throat- so..anyway...in my anxiousness to wait for these darling little creatures to finally be mine, I have decided to BLOG!

Heck, what else can I do?!  The creators are outstanding in the time and effort they have put into the creation of the Meeroos.  There is a complete history of them, a legend....these mythical creatures have a past and well they thrive on interaction.  So, of course, does the Meeroo owners.  It is not JUST a breedable animal.  These are pets who will endear you to them and will encourage you to interact with others.  Let me tell you how!

There is a hud and through this hud you can join a fellowship.  The hud is pretty easy to understand and it allows you to play the game no matter where you are in Second Life. You gain...points or 'regard' by petting your Meeroos, or petting your friends Meeroos, or by answering random questions from the Oracle through your hud.  Now, was your regard grows, things begin to happen!  You gain levels for yourself, your fellowship, and unlock cool things for your Meeroos.  What's more....is...they won't just mate with anyone...oh no, these little beings are particular and well, breeding isn't going to be so easy. If your breeding, do it because you love it, not because you want money (although there is some of that floating around if you manage to get a COOL breedable pet). 

In all this...there is yet more advantages to the game.  Your fellowship.  This group of people in SL you may or may not know well, but you get to know them.  You amble over to their place, pet their Meeroos...chat it up some...and end up with a very very cool collection of friends and support for your Meeroo spots in the wide world of SL.

I have, personally, met two such people. Both are outstanding builders and both are part of the breeding world....I wanted to do a blog and talk about how excited I am about my Meeroos, but I am just as excited to make new friends and meet interesting people....so sit back and meet these three lovely ladies and take a peek at their contributions to the wonderful world of Meeroos!

First, there is Beth Beaumont who, while the rest of the world focuses on Shabby Chic, has a gorgeous warm rustic look to her designs. It's perfect for the companionship of the Meeroos.  Some of her designs are below and you can check out more of them here at Dufliky Designs!  I have the little gazebo too...pictured below!

That's Beth...go on, grin...cause I did.

This is one of our fellowship gifts she shared...I love it...-sighs- I love a lot of things.

These are Beth's lil Beta Meeroos...and the inside of her Gazebo...see what I mean, rustically comfortable!!

Next is Eidolon Sideshow who does designs specifically for Meeroo living areas.  I got a chance to skip over and look at some as well as have one for my own.  I LOVE IT! It offers the cutest area for shade for the Meeroos.  The Main Picture up there is one of her designs I have tucked away on my land.  Fabulousu!

She ish a fairy....btw.

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL?!?!

You know, part of the best thing in SL is meeting people.  I meet lots of people all the time and think...wow...that person was pretty cool.  So imagine my excitement when I realized...I have a platform to show off those great people too.  A few months ago I got addicted to SFL...Secondlife Football League.  Ha Ha, I know nothing about football, but as I have told my close and personals....I love a crowd.  A good excited fun crowd, nothing beats that.  And the best places to find those crowds in SL are in clubs or in sporting events.  In any case, I met some really cool people and I'd love to take this chance to introduce you to one of them now.  The Defensive Captain of the SFL Cowboys, the Part Owner of Unwrapped Club, and a pretty all around cool guy...Cyke Troglodite. 

Krysta: Tell me a little about how you got started with SFL?

Cyke Troglodite: I was approached by a really good friend... someone I knew from djing and asked if I had any interest in joining the league and giving it a shot. Before, I was really skeptical about it, I had a bunch of preconceived idea's about it. When someone I knew asked me to join, and I looked at other people I knew who were a part of it, it got a lot more attention from me. So i gave it a shot, and here we are some 7 months later

Krysta: Clearly, playing football in SL has to have it's...differences. What is one of the things hardest, as a player, for you to adjust to?

Cyke Troglodite: Well aside from fandom, I don't have much real experience playing football outside of backyard stuff. The hardest thing for me to learn was the different techniques to approaching. I was put on the linemen early on because I was a late comer. It wasn't where I wanted to go, but it's actually become an amazing part of the game because like real football, SL football starts in the trenches

Krysta grins. Kinda dirty huh?

Cyke Troglodite laughs.

Krysta: Just saying...-smiles- Your position now? It's the defensive lead? Please, excuse me, I know like...very litte about the game itself. I just enjoy the tackling and the running parts...not so great on the details. You didn't start there, how have you grown as a player within the league?

Cyke Troglodite: I started as a lineman, I still play there, but I've been made Defensive captain. It was kind of an accidental promotion I guess you could say. I volunteered to scout. So I started watching the other teams games and taking notes. So then me and our coach and offensive captain would go over the notes and come up with gameplans. Those gameplans had to be adjusted during the game, so they asked me to make those calls, since I was the one watching the other teams so much.

Krysta laughs. That doesn't sound like an accident, but well earned. So you are part owner of UnWrapped...tell us a little about the club?

Cyke Troglodite: Well it's a fun little venue. Ladies only most of the time but we do have coed events as well.

 Krysta: And do all your dancers wear mouse slippers....??

Cyke Troglodite laughs.
Cyke Troglodite: well that would be giving away a secret wouldn't it.

Krysta: Ha Ha, I guess if anyone wants to know they will have to visit. So you are an all around do anything guy? You play football, run a club, and DJ right? Do you dance there as well?

Cyke Troglodite: It's been rumored that I take the stage occasionally. I leave all that to the professionals most of the time.

Krysta laughs and grins. "Mmhmm...so you know it is coming... I have to ask, because everyone will want to know about your status? Single, Married, GAY? Inquiring minds..

Cyke Troglodite: My status? lol. Well it's not gay. Cyke loves his ladies.
Cyke Troglodite: I am currently single. I had a relationship for a while that ended a few months ago. I have been taking it easy, playing the field.

Krysta grins and nods. "The football field...right?"

Cyke Troglodite: is there any other?

Krysta: Nope...-laughs- So what's the wins losses for the Cowboys right now? As a team, how do you think you are doing?

Cyke Troglodite: We are 3-3. Thats not as good as I would have liked to be. Our losses have been tough and close, but losses none the less. I think we are doing ok. I love my team mates. I wouldn't wanna play with anyone else.

Krysta smiles. "I bet they feel the same way....I think, that wraps it up for us talk wise...I don't wanna keep you forever. BUT...outside sir...time for pictures to show you off..."

Ladies and Gents, this writer...was made to blush at the invitation to said club.  I tped in, unawares, expecting to listen to some great music and meet some cool people and ...I DID....but I was also granted the vision of a naked man in mousie slippers.  I wasn't prepared and I am telling you, I was blushing and just glad it wasn't Mr. Toglodite himself...I may not have made it through the interview without blushing!

The morning spent talking to Cyke was great, he was amicable, forthcoming, and very excited and dedicated to his teammates.  I urge you to head out and see him play!  You can get tickets on the SL Marketplace, just type in SFL and the most recent games will show up.  Below I have also included the list of upcoming games, compliments of Mr. Troglodite himself.  Wanna meet them man for yourself?  Well, stop by Unwrapped to listen to him DJ, head over to a game....Or Hey...Join his group!!  The Cykotics and become a crazy for Cyke!
