SHAKEDOWN!

BAKE YOUR SHAKE! 

Those "pretty much worthless" shake bricks are now worth L$ to you with the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ SHAKEDOWN REBATE PROGRAM! That's right - we'll be awarding L$10 credit for every eligible shake brick you turn in during the SHAKEDOWN!

Not every shake brick is eligible for the rebate, so read carefully! There are four basic rules:

1. The Shake Bricks have to come from a 4.19.902 or higher ovule. Bricks from recent version males that have timed out are fine.
    
2. Older version males will produce the right shake brick if you update them with a 4.19.903b Update Transmogrifier before they time out. There's no need to run a Bridge. Just update the older male directly, and make sure it's carrying the 4.19.903b ovule.
    
3. Old bricks really are worthless. The quick way to check is to right-click on the brick, go to "Edit" and then to "Contents." If you see a script (CSL SHAKE) inside the brick, it's not eligible for the rebate.
    
4. The bricks must come from plants that you owned when they timed out. There is no aftermarket for old shake. Of course, you can buy old males from other growers, update them to the 4.19.903 ovule, and grow them until they time out.

To cash in your shake bricks, find the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Shakedown Scales beside BiggBudd's counter at ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Central. Place your brick on the top of the scales, and click the "Weigh" button at the base of the scales. Messages in local chat will tell you if the brick is eligible or not.

You can only weigh one brick at a time. If it's accepted by the system, your cash-out total will increase by L$10 and the hovertext over the scales will turn yellow. You can then delete the brick. (Of course, if the brick is rejected, you can delete it, too.) Then you can weigh another brick.

When you're done weighing your bricks, click the "Cash Out" button to receive your Gift Card in that amount. The system awards only up to L$100 Gift Cards, so if you weigh ten bricks, the scales will automatically give you the L$100 Gift Card! You can accumulate as many Gift Cards as you have time and shake to turn in.

A couple of final notes. When the Shakedown Scales are in use, the hovertext will turn yellow. If you click the scales while another person is weighing bricks, the scales will award that person what they're due. (Likewise, if someone forgets to cash out and the scales are showing red text, the next user to click them will reset the scales and send that person their Gift Card.)

Also, the maximum individual Gift Card the scales will give out is L$100. We do not plan to award larger Gift Cards through the Rebate Program, so please don't ask.

We hope this is a fun (and profitable) way for you to clear out accumulated shake bricks and old males from your inventory. So SHAKE YOUR BRICKS!

IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION!

pOT pLOTs, Auctions, and the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Advertising & Auctions Group provide an opportunity to re-sell plants and to interact with other Growers & Breeders. The ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Team provides this service at nominal cost, because we believe a healthy aftermarket and vibrant community help our business. We do not make much money from these activities, so it is essential that they enhance our operation and do not detract from it.

There has been some confusion lately about what is and is not acceptable for sale in pOT pLOTs or Auctions at ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™  Central. The ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ Team has spent a lot of time this week reviewing our expectations and rules to make sure they are clear and consistent.

We have made some changes in the "Auctions" page on this website. Additionally, there is a new "SELLING AT ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ™ AUCTIONS & pOT pLOTs" page that has specific rules for pOT pLOT pricing and version updates. These are not suggestions or guidelines; these are rules.

In a nutshell, the update requirements are:

1. Female plants and seed bricks must show Version 4 or higher in their stats and must  be updated to Version 4.19.903b or higher.
2. "Bridge" ovules are unacceptable.
3. Male plants must show Version 3.02 or higher in their stats and must have a 4.19.903b ovule.
4. Version 1 or 2 plants are not acceptable.
5. Unopened "vintage" boxes of Version 2.11c or higher seeds are allowed for sale at Auctions, but only Version 4 or highere seed packs are permitted on pOT pLOTs..
6. Boxed plants are not acceptable.

Leon Russell - Magic Mirror (1972)

 

The sellers think I'm merchandise, they'll have me for a song
The left ones think I'm right,
The right ones think I'm wrong
And many people look my way
And many pass me by

And in my quiet reflection I wonder why

Magic mirror won't you tell me please
Do I see myself in anyone I meet?
Magic mirror if we only could
Try to see ourselves as others would

 

 

 

Xarabeth's Experience as Amazon Warrior & CannabiSL in RP :)

Hello everyone;
I am Xarabethe, a newcomer to cannabis growing and CannabiSL. I primarily role-play as an Amazon Warrior here in Second Life, and recently our tribe took up growing cannabis as a way to enhance our roleplay experience, bring more fun to our lands, and meet new friends. It has been an amazing first few months, and Gleaux asked me to share our experience here on the blog. It’s a pleasure to do so; the CannabiSL community has been overwhelming in their support of our tribe’s venture, and we look forward to being a part of the group for years to come.

Before we get too far along with this story, let me tell you a bit about us and the lands we call home. Starhaven is one of five medieval-themed roleplay sims that comprise The Havens, which has been around for nearly a decade. We are a tribe of Amazons warriors, who protect the Havens from enemies and serve our Queen, whose palace lies in Moonhaven. The Amazons train in combat of course, but we also have fun with the everyday tasks that make role-play fun: hunting, gathering, crafting, and of course: farming. We in The Havens love sharing our lands with visitors, and several CannabiSL growers have already come by to see us. There is a landmark to our visitor hub at the end of this story…please feel free to drop by and say hello.

Like most roleplayers, we are always looking for ways to add more “fun” to our experience, and one day our attention became focused on a high plateau on the extreme western edge of our sim. This hilltop had stood empty for quite some time, but its unique character really cried out for some creative energy. We took a look at our various resources, and realized that we were lacking a dedicated farming area, and that a few more necessary elements of Amazon culture could also reside on that high piece of ground.

It was about this time that one of the Havens’ residents suggested we try growing cannabis; she had been growing at her home for a while, and thought it would be a fun way to increase activity in a near-deserted area of Starhaven, and also open up some roleplay trade opportunities between the sims. After the initial chuckles and bad jokes subsided, we realized that it was quite reasonable to believe that a tribe of primitive warriors certainly would have taken advantage of the natural resources available, and cultivated cannabis and hemp for various uses. Our tribal Healer, sister Atli, conducted some research and found that cannabis was indeed widely used in ancient times. Further, sister Sigrun determined that our garden should be named for the Greek goddess of the harvest, and thus Demeter Ridge was born.

We needed more than just cannabis for Demeter Ridge, though: we placed a vegetable garden in the centre of the plot, and sister Atli had the brilliant idea to add a “sweat lodge” near the extreme western edge. The sisters use this simple hut for spiritual revitalization…whilst enjoying relaxing steam from the hot coals enhanced with the aroma of their latest harvest. Of course, we also added a statue representing the goddess for whom Demeter Ridge is named; click on the statue and learn about both Demeter and how cannabis was used in ancient times.

Once the concept and basic design for Demeter Ridge was in place, we needed to decide which cannabis varieties to grow. Since Starhaven’s theme is medieval, we had to forego some of the stunningly beautiful graphic Limited Edition designs in favor of the “natural,” but still very colorful older LEs (Limited Editions). Indoor varieties were out of the question, as there was no electricity for lights in those days. One exception to this philosophy was Mandala, whose beautiful foliage and awesome mutation potential grabbed - and has held - our attention. Another was Andromeda: not only is it stunningly beautiful, but any plant named after a character in Greek mythology just seemed to be a natural fit for Demeter Ridge.

After growing a generation or two of base standard varieties (Panama Red and Purple Haze in this case) to get comfortable with the harvesting and planting processes, we selected Royal Caramel as our first LE to grow – thanks to some great advice from a prominent CannabiSL grower. Our mentor explained how to breed a pure LE male with base (Standard) plants to produce more of the LE foliage variety, and we embraced this idea with enthusiasm. That practice continues today, and we are hoping to help revitalize interest in some of the “heirloom” varieties that still carry their own unique charm.

Needless to say, once we started growing cannabis on the ridge, interest in that area skyrocketed, as residents from across the Havens made the journey up the hill to see what the crazy Amazons were growing now.

Other sims within the Havens have started their own cannabis farms, and the Amazons regularly trade with and support growers in those lands. In the future, we hope to help establish gardens in each of five sims, featuring varieties which reflect the unique character and personality of that particular land. In Starhaven, we are hoping to experiment a bit with placing different effects on some of the “heirloom” varieties, and focus our energy on growing dwarves and giants of our favorite strains.

We are also hoping to create notecards that describe the role-play therapeutic effects and various uses of the varieties of cannabis we grow…again, in hope of enhancing the roleplay experience in The Havens.

In conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all of the wonderful members of the CannabiSL community who have helped make this such a fun and rewarding experience. I have chatted with many of your personally about how much you have meant to us, and please know that my words came from the heart. It has been an amazing first few months, and we hope that some great times lay down the road.
