I'll be hosting a camp at SL Burning Life 2008!  It's called Low Impact Camp.  The motto is Reduce Your Impact on the (SL) Environment.  I'll be giving away various freebies on different days.  I'ts mainly to show how you can reduce your own lag and lag for others by using lower resolution textures, save on prims when building (and designing your avatar), and some building tricks for the less-experienced.
It was great fun, but I think next time I'll just try for an art space or a non-reserved camp :Can't wait till next year :)
=== Free Avatars ===
I'm showing off how simple it is to make your own unique avatar, with a low avatar cost, and giving away free male and female humanoid fire avs to celebrate the event and take as souvenirs.  They are full perm, so you can use as little or as much as you want.  They include non-prim hair, water clothing (to reduce fire damage), white eyes, flame-textured skin, matching chokers, and an accessory. (Males have a fireball and females have a fire extinguisher - it has nothing to do with gender roles, I just wanted a different accessory for each so if you get both avs you get something unique with each.)  Accessories have an animation script, but otherwise the fire and water is unanimated.
=== Free Starter Pad ===
I'll be giving away 2-prim starter pads (room/building) along with a notecard that gives detailed instructions on how to modify them and how to build them.  They are no-transfer, so if you want to sell them or give them to friends, you'll have to follow the instructions to make one yourself. They are mod and copy enabled.
=== More ===
I'll be giving away lots of other things as well, from pumpkins to furniture, to fountains.  Stop by on different days because new freebies will be added every day.  Watch for tips and hints found in notecards inside the objects and in object descriptions.  You can get a notecard on basic information for the camp from the signs. Just look for the Giant Jack o Lantern in Burning Life Network or TP to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Burning%20Life%20%28Network%29/77/172/24

About Shadoe

I'm a fairly new SL member who spends a great amount of time in-world. I am most likely to be found as a human or near-human avatar (water sprite, mummy), but can often be seen in other forms such as animals. I am the creater of a little group, CnSL, that owns a lot in Bay City - Falconmoon. If you're thinking of buying (or renting) a Bay City lot, here are some things to keep in mind:

Bay City

You get double the standard level of prims on these lots, making them great for businesses and complex buildings. You cannot modify terrain. You cannot subdivide or join lots (but you can buy neighboring lots and build to the joining border). There are free Bay City textures available to use to make the area seem more uniform and reduce lag. These lots are very expensive right now. Nearly every lot has access to at least one road or alley. Some lots are along the ocean or beach, and even more are along canals. There's public transportation available in some areas by ferryboat or trolly. There are also a lot of Linden Land such as parks, a theater, a bowling alley, factories, and much more to explore (and if you buy in the right location, to reduce your chance of being lost behind other's builds). Since it's mostly businesses, there are few ban lines to get in your way. Even if you aren't interested in buying (or renting) a lot in Bay City, it's a great place to explore.

If you have a Bay City parcel, you can join the Bay City Alliance and Bay City Centre groups to share your ideas about what would improve the area and find out what the rest of us are up to. We're trying to increase visitation to the area (more traffic and such) and are organizing promotional activities, like the Halloween treasure hunt.
