Relay for Life Trivia Extravaganza 17/18 May 2013

Hi everyone, with this post I want to update everyone on next weekend's events, and to let our wonderful hosts know our arrangements. I'm using this blog as our main method of communication to hosts and guests from now on.

I'm still updating the event programme in my last post, and you'll see we have almost filled a full 24 hours of events, with one gap from 0130 SLT to 0400 after Toni finishes and before Bo starts. I was never too bothered about filling that slot, when SL is usually really quiet, but if anyone wants to step forward, please let me know and I'll gladly fit you in!

If there are any updates, I'll post them here, otherwise you'll find the individual events listed in the SL Events calendar.

I really hope hosts will find their own corner of the Seagull and rez their stuff and make it their own for the event, and it would be so good if we had a whole rainbow of different styles and approaches!

All money raised goes to Relay for Life, and please please come to events, tell your friends and publicise this event!

For hosts, mostly!

Thanks so much to all you wonderful hosts, literally we could not do this event without you! I sent you a notecard, and from now on this blog will be where I'll update you on the event, so do keep an eye on it. There are one or two changes from my notecard to you.

Most of you have joined the Nellotus group, and I have given everyone a Relay for Life Host tag. This should let you rez objects, change the music stream. We aren't usually bothered with griefers at The Seagull, but just in case you do have eject and ban powers. If you have any problems with any of this, please let me know, either inworld or by commenting on this blog post. Commenting on the blog is certain to reach me, and also lets others know if I have fixed a generic problem.

SL will only let me advertise five events, so I can't advertise you all, so can I please ask you to post your event in SL events. This is a change from the notecard I sent you. Your tag lets you post to the Seagull. The title of the whole event is "Relay for Life Trivia Extravaganza", and please can I ask you to use the words "Relay for Life" and "Trivia" in your event title, this way Events search will pick those keywords out.

If you can self-fund, wonderful and I will love you forever, if you can't, please let me know inworld and lindens will appear as if by magic. There is no standard prize money amount.

You are welcome to host anywhere you like on the Seagull parcel, and you can start to rez your things from now on. We should have about 400 prims available, and I'll deprim our skybox to free up extra prims. If we run out of prims there will be some returning of prims to earlier hosts, but I really would like to see the park filled with your stuff. If you want to advertise your regular event or venue, please go right ahead! It's your space for yourself!

The one thing I do ask is that people don't rez any big stuff inside the pub itself. Everywhere else is fine.

Francine is going to set up Relay for Life kiosks for donations in the park.

I'll set the stream to my default playlist, but you can change it for your event, either to radio or to DJ yourself. You're free to set the stream to any station, and you can do this by using the radio behind the bar inside the pub. My stream is called Lotus and it's on page 5 of the menu.

Oh gosh, what have I forgotten, probably lots of things! Please use comments on this blog to ask questions, to tell me about problems, or just for general discussion, if you want to.

Here I am back!

If anyone wonders where my blog has been, I ran out of energy and ideas three years, but here I am back to tell you about something really extra-special we’re running!

The Relay for Life Trivia extravaganza will be on 17 and 18 May 2013. Relay for Life is an international cancer charity, and I’ve linked you to the UK page, but I do stress it’s an international charity, and not just linked to one country.

If we can, we want to run a 24-hour Second Life trivia fundraiser for Relay for Life. We need your help to join us in promoting the event, in coming to events, in hosting and helping out, and in giving!

We’re running the event at The Seagull Seaside Pub, and we’re going to ask hosts to find their own corner of the Seagull, where they can set up their stuff, and to make it their own for the event. I’ve listed our draft programme below, and as you can see we still have some slots to fill. I’m not too worried by the early Saturday morning slots, SL is always so quiet then, but I really would like to fill the North American peak time ones, if we can.

If you would like to fill those slots, please let me know! I’ll update the programme on this blog as we fill them.

I’ll be sending out notecards to hosts with further details and asking for information in the next week, but I would really like to stress that the success of this event depends on you!

In the meantime, please mention this event to your friends, and at Second Life events. If lots of people know it’s happening, lots more money will be raised for Relay for Life. Thanks!
