Daini Ken sim info

Any upcoming sim info will be categorized under "Daini Ken sim" category, so it will be easy to find.

As of this afternoon, region transfer is completed, and I am officially a region owner.
(The map will take few more hours to show my land SW of *near* Transylvania/Desolation regions respectively. )

As always, LL did not complete their job before they deduct several hundred dollars from my account, and left my seller/previous owner as the owner of the region, and the contents are still there. (of course, I filed ticket. As soon as they have my money I expect those things complete in my hands.)

Anyways, I will start terraforming as soon as I got estate rights.


The first progress report.

Daini Ken upcoming sim launch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daini Ken Designs by Frederic Prevost has just finalized an agreement of sim transfer from another resident.
The process has been forwarded to LL as of this morning.

The new region name will be Daini Ken.

(not HOTSCHROTT as some might have guessed)
Daini Ken, as I stated before, is a Japanese translation of *the Second circle of Inferno-Divine comedy* by Dante. for those who read kanji/chinese character it will be 第二圏、第弐圏、and its varies.

It is based on the reference of Divine comedy by Japanese 19th century author Mori Ougai. Ougai's contribution to the introduction of western literature into Japanese public are immensely influential to this day. Little child Frederic studied those translation along with Ougai's own books.
Ougai is also known for the auhoritary translation of Goethe and other German literature, however, I do not believe he translated Divine Comedy as a whole.

"the second" is in unison with "second life" , at the same time, the second circle of hell described about Lust. My favorite episode of Divine Comedy, "Francesca di Rimini" also come from the second circle on Inferno (ref Canto V).

The inferno proceeds in order of lesser sins to more serious ones, from top to bottom.
The most serious sin is the betrayal.

Details of launch and new brand concept, parcel rental/sale coming soon.

Another HUGE announcement coming soon!

I came back from NYC, checking out opera hunk and opera chick at MET, meeting my SL best friends. (THEY were not psycho killers! )

Just out of the blue, I stumble into bargain, which is hard to pass up.
The plan is basically a done deal, and I am expecting confirmation in next 24 hours. So, I may be able to bring you the big news by tomorrow at the latest.

This is something I wanted to do, but vaguely planned for over next several months, and not *this weekend* . However, the chances like this has to be recognized and demanded action. I have been considering this for a while, therefore this is not really a spur of the moment matter as other matters in my life. (Yes, I am pondering to buy cello, since I have never played one. And thats not an announcement. LOL)

I am hoping to bring you the good news in next few days.
