Shared Seas Adventurers - "Navigator" Challenge Added!


Communty News & Events

Thanks, Mercury!

Since the Duch is committed to being non-violent, whenever I feel the urge to slay something (or someone) I goand play Skyrim or Civilization :))

On the other hand, I'd love to see some survival-oriented challenges especially ones that involved some sort of strategy. Battling fortune, the elements & good old Mother Nature make for some interesting scenarios.

If anyone wants to help develop challenges, we'd love to put different teams together :)

We're trying to get as much variety as possible so that there is something for everyone.

About the poster - I had a lot of fun trying to find an image that would reflect the spirit of the new group. What I discovered is that it's really hard to find an appropriate"period" image that includes both men & women. Most of the pictures I found had swashbuckling pirates carrying off damsels in distress (in various states of undress).

Since I was in rather a hurry to get rolling, I went with Anne Bonney & Mary Readas in The History and Legends of Anne Bonney and Mary Read . I'm thinking that when we get established we can take a picture of our members and come up with a new poster that is more customized for us.

BTW - I owe you a Volunteer badge for helping out with the race. I'll deliver it as soon as you create your journal.

General Discussion

There must be a way to use QR codes via SL. It would be great to have access to the videos as part of the exhibit.

General Discussion

I have been considering an exhibition space in the Petit Trianon (already have the room roughed out & just need to do some finishing touches) so if you are interested we could discuss doing something there.

Sorry but I don't know what QR codes are. You'll have to enlighten me :)

Certainly an interesting subject for a master's thesis.

I'm wondering what would the virtual exhibit consist of? Portraits with associated notes/links?

Tell me more :)

The Captain's House: Perfect for Seafaring Folk!


Marketplace Archive ** CLOSED **

Yes, that's The Guard's House on which this fictional The Captain's House is based!
When Iadded an extra room to make it a bit bigger as a rental I renamed it though there is another, more authentic version, still in the hamlet.

Here's an interesting story about this building. There was obviously a need for security in The Queen's Hamlet but Marie Antoinette wanted to keep it as hidden as possible. One ingenious way theyaccomplished this was to have trenches throughout the hamlet hidden by various landscaping features. The guards would patrol the trenches and one of the main points of entry was via The Guard's House which had a basement that lead outside. I always thought that was a very cool solution.

My understanding is that The Guard's House is still in use today housing one of the hamlet's gardeners. Hence the beautiful vegetable garden you see out front.

At the moment The Queen's House & The Guard's House are still open to the public so if you ever need shelter you won't have to resort to climbingthrough the windows. I'm also sure you could have charmed your way past any of the security or gardeners :))

I'm sure the gardeners would have scrambled to bring you an umbrella and called for a carriage, should any rain have threatened you!

Thanks for the kind words about a project very near & dear to me :))

The Captain's House: Perfect for Seafaring Folk!


Marketplace Archive ** CLOSED **

After keeping Provence Coeur Est (home of the Petit Trianon & the Queen's Hamlet) to myself for the past six years, I'm offering my very first rentals!

This charming cottage is part of The Queen's Hamlet, a fantasy village built for Marie Antoinette to escape the rigours of court life. The house was designed to have a rustic exterior, actually being faux painted and distressed to give it the feel of a Norman peasant home. The interior was more lavish, meant to appeal to the Queen and her court with it's comforts and intimate rooms. This SL version uses wallpaper details from la Maison de Bonaparte to provide it's "upper class" atmosphere. All of the casement windows are fully functional and the smoking chimney can be controlled by a simple touch. A full security system is also included.

The Captain's House is located near Port Trianon providing access from its private dock to the extensive Duch de Coeur & Rocca Sorrentina waterways. Perfect for seafaring folk!

Thanks, Stormy! If everything goes as planned, Bebe Begonia will be moving into my old location so the old LM will take you to her wonderful creations. I'll remind her not to put a bathtub or something similar right at the landing point ;)
