We met on July 20th to discuss news of the realm, chiefly the announcement of sim closures and rearrangement. In short, the points discussed are:
- Winterfell Ferry will be discontinued for the time being, to be remapped in the nearish future.
- Winterfell, the homestead, will close (complete)
- Forest Floor will rejoin the realm and be placed where Winterfell homestead was (complete)
- Winterfell Anodyne will be renamed Winterfell (complete)
- Winterfell Libris will close (first week in August)
- Winterfell Ebonshire will be converted to a homestead and residents will have to relocate. (re-locations in process, conversion first week in August)
- Winterfell Aislinn will become a full sim and rotated and moved to the Winterfell Harbor map slot to continue the Forest Floor land mass (first week in August)
- Winterfell Harbor be become a homestead and will move to the Winterfell Libris map location (first week in August)
- Here Be Dragons will have a donations collection on the island under the dragon, half that sim will be paid for by JJ Drinkwater and the other half will be collected through donations. The sim costs 20K a month so 10K will need to be raised. Spread out this should not be difficult.
All in all the only people to be displaced are the residents on Ebonshire and I have contacted all those residents as of tonight, the 23rd of July.

Winterfell's Tall Ship Race and Privateers Ball SFL Edition
Saturday June 29th @ 11:30am - Winterfell's Tall Ship Race
The Tall Ship Race is part of the Swashbuckler for Life multi-team RFL Event, organized by the Winterfell Privateers
The race will start South of the Nepenthe Gate, the border between Winterfell and Caledon and will end under the gate itself, after a tour of the Southern Winterfell sims.
The race field is shown in the included image.
Eligible ships are 2 or 3 masted sailships propelled by SL winds, usually used in naval battles and belonging to the SPD, TSS, SCS, SSS, JRS, AT, BRS classes (any ship usually approved for naval battles is eligible, even if not listed here). There is no other limit, but keep in mind that not all the ships fit under the Nepenthe gate. Even if the bridge will be opened at the required moments, the opening is rather narrow and ships that fit under the gate will be able to get more room to maneuver and will find themselves at an advantage (an SPD Frigate, for instance will require the gate to be opened)
Each race will be one go through the race field once
If 2 ships will enter the race we will have a direct final
If 3 ships will enter the race we will have a round robin (each ship will compete against the other two). In case each ship wins one race we will have a 3 ships final
If 4-5 ships will enter the race we will have 2 semifinals (one with 3 ships and the other with 2 ships) and the winners will meet in a final
if 6-7 ships enter the race we will have 3 semifinals and one 3-ships final
If 8 or more ships will enter the race we will have quarterfinals, semifinals and final
The Race will take place on Saturday 29 from 11:30 am to 1 pm SLT.

Traveling in SL
It has long been heartbreaking to try and travel through SL with out the aid of the o'so easy teleport option. Traveling by ship, plane, automobile, horse or even by foot has often resulted in crashing or rubber banding across the grid.
It seems that is all about to change, or at least there are mumblings about getting the sim crossing experiance to be a better one.
Thank you to Ambassador Whitfield for bringing this article to my attention!
