Report From The Wasteland, SL's Post-Apocalyptic RP Region

Therese Carfagno of Everyday Second Life has an excellent first-hand report from The Wastelands, which looks like a city decades after the nukes hit, but the denizens call "Paradise".  It's a fascinating in-depth profile of their society, with harshly enforced mores; non-Wasteland weapons are forbidden, for example, while Goreans are just as unwelcome.  ("I for one will kill any Goreans in sight," one member tells Therese.)  Incorporating snatches of dialog, vivid description, and evocative screenshots, it's also a good example of in-world journalism.

Being one who shies away from most post-apocalyptica, I've yet to explore the Wastelands to any sizeable degree, however I may now amend that.

As a brief segué, in the hopes that it's still there, I would thoroughly recommend visiting Mini Zebes while you're there. No other spot on the Grid has so convincingly recreated a game-space for me, and some wonderful times were had in this hidden corner of the Wastelands.

Feel free to use my watertower meeting room in The Wastelands. (You have to fly up and drop through the top hatch)

Sort of a Collaborative Workspace if you will.

Thank you so much for linking me, Wagner. And I can only recommend everyone to visit The Wastelands. I didn't know much about post-apoc sims either, but found it fascinating.
