♱ THE RULES OF DOOM ♱
╚═════════════════╝

☢ RULES ABOUT RULES ☢
► You must obey the Rules.
► Failure to obey the Rules will result in extreme otter management.
► You don't want to know what extreme otter management is.

☢ RULES ABOUT HOW TO PARTICIPATE ☢
► Create a picture of your SL self, this is the way people will be able to vote for you.
Your image will be your presentation card, it will summary all that you want to say so I suggest you take time to choose or to create one that really satisfies and represents you. The artistic value itself of the image and its originality will be for sure something that will help you get noticed by the voters and jury.

► You need to wear a Fallen Gods Inc. skin. All the rest: location, outfit, etc. is by your choice. It’s the only requirement since without it the competition itself has no sense.

► Fallen Gods Inc. skin has to be recognizable and visible. No helmets or masks covering your face. No obscure or texture-blurring bright windlights. No using non-Fallen skin for head and Fallen skin for body. The picture should showcase a Fallen skin clearly, that is the core idea of the contest, seeing what you create with Fallen Gods Inc. skins. If in doubt ask Sonya or in group.

► There shall be only one avatar in the image, creative exceptions might be considered, but the image has to feature only one contestant (mirrors, projections are fine and might be discussed prior to acceptance).

► No AI. Any entry using AI image editing will be automically eliminated.

► Petites and Dinkies are part of the Fallens, as long they are Fallen Edition Petites or Petites wearing a Fallen BOM skin & Dinkies wearing a Fallen skin.

► Fallenstein overlays are accepted as Fallen skins for the contest.

► You can participate with just one of your avatars on just one of the gender walls (Alts are discouraged, please don't participate with a multitude of your avatars. We have no way to investigate alts so not much can be done and I am very, very (very) much against witch-hunts, but it's simply up to you and a matter of respect towards the work behind this Celebration).

► Please choose the gender/contest category with which you identify with most of your time in SL (if you have inquiries or need information please ask, we want everyone feel included)

► All pics (SL texture files) shall be sent to my partner Sonya Marmurek, she helps me out with the Secretarial matters, Contest and Anniversary. (Thank you Rabbitteer)

► When you send the picture to Sonya Marmurek, remember to tell her which Fallen skin you are wearing in the picture.

► When Sonya Marmurek receives your picture she will send you a thank-you IM. If you haven't heard from her for two days after sending the picture, please contact her again. This is just to make sure that SL didn't eat your picture, IMs have been unreliable lately.

► Pictures will be accepted until Sunday 4 October 2026, 11 pm slt.

☢ RULES ABOUT TEXTURES/IMAGES ☢
► Textures/Images shall be FULL PERMISSION (copy, modify, transfer)

► Textures/Images shall be renamed as follows: FGI26 name surname (example: FGI26 Ultimate Brainrot). I will not exclude on prior who mistakes that, but we might not find your texture and so miss to place you in the voting.

► Picture ratio (proportions) shall be that of a standard snapshot, tv and monitor size (4:3) or pixel example 640x480 px in 72dpi, vertical and square cuts will have your image deformed so remember it shall be a landscape format.

► No added text on the picture.

► No several pictures edited into one, just one picture scene.

► Please make a new picture, using the one you sent last year doesn't show much care and effort, imagine if I would make the same with gifts, rewards and Fortunes.

► Please do not put your image in notecards, boxes or folders.

► Send the picture from the avatar that participates in the contest. Make sure the name of the picture and the avatar sending it are the same.

► Only one picture for contestant. Delivering more than one will result in simply using the first one delivered.


☢ RULES ABOUT PRIZES & WINNERS ☢
- All Gift cards and Prizes will be delivered the next week following the Election

☢ RULES ABOUT VOTING ☢
- Using your alts to vote for yourself is not nice (Especially when it's more than a dozen......)
- Offering free sex to noobs for a vote though is welcomed and encouraged.
- Bad mouthing contestants, slander, shaming will have you managed by otters.
- Bad mouthing of otters is very encouraged.

☢ RULES ABOUT DRAMA ☢
Just. Don't.
It's already sad I have to add this chapter in here. Very sad, anyway...
I do this for you folks to have fun with, to thank you for your support, to make new friends, to have a good time at the temple, to get a free skin while just sending me a 10L snapshot (yes I do accept everyone and all). I do this since very long and during this time of the year I wish to celebrate Second Life, our community and just enjoy ourselves. If you are not capable to manage competition stress, self-insecurities, disagree with the rules, voting and judging criteria, and have personal issues about the whole, do NOT participate.
Thank you.

☢ RULES ABOUT NOT DRAMA ☢
Have fun and get laid, or take a nap, naps are good... we are getting older. Also don't feed the otters, but feel free to feed penguins. Perhaps bunnies too...

SUMMARY: rename pic as example, set permissions to copy, modify and transfer (full perm), drop texture/pic alone to Sonya Marmurek, tell her which Fallen skin you are wearing in the picture, then enjoy the election weeks until the Anniversary Party. Have fun!

Feel free to include your pictures on our Flickr:

Behind the Candelabra

Am starting to slowly see what are some Libertine basics that need to get done, as my old Ambience Candle set, that are way past their prime and seeing how to re-introduce them by making them myself from scratch. The new Chopin Candelabra set comes in Bronze and Silver, pbr and fallback, and is currently as a soft beta release, where I want to improve somewhat the models, add some more options like sconce, hanging, single, taller, etc., plus scripted versions. They are available for Wanderlust weekend discounted at 50L$ the pack. Hope you enjoy,

May Update Notes

As usual I've been bad at updating you about updates. If you want to know more about updated creations, store updates and up to date updates, get updated below. Yours,
Alia

P.S. At the bottom of the post, some personal thoughts about the future, creatively speaking.

Fallen Gods Inc.

- New area just for full avatars, no more multivendors.

- All skin displays are now singular, no more multivendors

- Protection tattoo, updated with evox and materials

- Skychylde full collection for sale, Aquamarine currently at Event

- In store releases after events: Savant Destiny, Oblivion,Undying, Draugr and Druid Draugr Emerald, Skychylde Flamingo, Radioactive Uranium, Metallica rusted bronze and mithril, Draco silver spirit, Clowns.

- Future plans: Update stuff that is not up to date updated, keep the wheel turning. Some thoughts about a gen 4 that has been in progress for a while, learn rigging so I can attach weird stuff to your weird genetics. Events. Hats. 

- Important: As always everything that is currently at the store and has not been updated yet, is on the chopping board to get the update in the future, no timeline but we'll get there hopefully soon. Planned updates are: evox option, materials where applicable, body options and feet/hand bom optimisation. Please do not purchase anything  in advance counting on a fast update, best wait until is ready if you need it so the product can be enjoyed fully.

Libertine

- If you didn't visit since before the Libertine Anniversary, new display areas for all the things.

- Updates: Dunwich and Viscount Leather Editions have now the full color range.

- In store releases after events: Medusa Brocade Ed., Birthsign gacha (took about 10 years), En'kara rug 2026 Ed., Midnight Rug Winder Rose Special, Canterbury Essentials, main furniture elements, Art Gacha, Urns Gacha.

- Future plans: Update stuff that is not up to date updated, keep the wheel turning. Mesh new props for all furniture, add a lot of animations I've been sitting on and collecting, more beds, more orgy stuff, probably more rugs, jawcuzzi.

Baroque Works, aka builds

Yes I am really thinking of going with this sub-brand name, no am not sure yet, yes Sonya likes it too much, no am not going to turn into sand.

- Requiem fences and lanterns are now on sale at Libertine, because am not yet sure how to sort this new section of what I do, so it's a bit on standby.

Some thoughts on what's ahead, The Essay.

You know the gif of that dude in a very 70s turtle neck going mindblown against a cosmic backdrop? Yeah that's me since i started to finally mesh. 

I've been on and off for a decade now starting more than 20 years ago (before even mesh came to Sl) to play with 3d studio, then maya, then zbrush, then open blender and just have my brain broken. I tried the long mega donut tutorials, I tried literal seminars, nothing stuck, they got me unfocused by too much information, and often even if I did want to stick to it, work would always take priority and so deadlines. 

So there I am again in need of just some stupid arch or a hollowed shape and annoyed that I can't pull that off without asking Garvie or Dave for a stupid plane with a hole. 

I open Blender and I almost have a near meltdown because I can't figure out how to move the camera, so I google "how to move the camera in blender" and all I get are tutorials on how to use the Blender camera and animations, and what not.... as you can imagine that was not the correct wording. 

So I google again. 

"How to move your view around an object in blender", and at this point I get more tutorials and videos and answers on how to move your damn cinematic camera around it, and I am close to having a meltdown again, crash my keyboard over a wall and just call it quit for the 100th time, until with the corner of my eye I spot a little unassuming short, and I click it.

I will be always grateful to this Indian guy who made a 10 seconds short to tell me: 

Dude, just click the wheel button.

Now, I used to teach photoshop classes, I've been using it as a second brain since 1999, I use it and I do not think about it or what I do, I just do. I am a very shortcut driven person too, so it all flows nicely. I am mentioning this because when I used to teach there was one thing I knew: you really need to show them the most basic things, even if you think it might be stupid, because if you never seen a door in your life, you have no idea what a handle is and what it does. You need to teach them what a handle is and how to turn it before they can even open the door.

That was my issue for a decade with blender, I've been stuck on the most basic stuff that someone that started using even a month earlier will forget are essential, and so near that video of telling me to -just click the wheel dammit- I found another 8 minute video that gave me all the shortcuts and process to open, make something and torture it.

With the help of Garvie, giving me literally afternoon lessons, I learned how to streamline my work process from blender through substance painter, then of course for me always retouch it in PS, and end up uploading to Second Life. 

I started with a flamingo and ended up with a Cathedral.

Why am I writing this whole essay? Because I know people like me in Second life that have been stuck in the habits, by some small block that closes a whole damn world of possibilities.

I had enough experience in building and uv mapping, in 2d design, in art, drawing, architecture and sculpting in general that definitely helped in this migration, but learning the basics of meshing has reinvigorated my creative passion in Second Life, has opened a world of possibilities, a literal world and beyond.

Suddenly, I can do anything: no compromises, no adaptation, I can just do the damn thing.

I am not saying I'll do the damn thing well, but it will be how I have envisioned it, and that's good enough for me for now.

So what's ahead?  I honestly don't know, I want to learn more, I want to do more. It is a new adventure of unexpected creative paths and I hope you'll join me on that journey.

Pieces of Requiem, Pieces of me

This year's Live Auction is looming and soon to start, and I always wonder where does the time go... perhaps a lot of work with interludes of friendship, silliness and joyful camaraderie which is always the best part of Fantasy Faire. As introductions go, this one might as well be decent, so I could get to the point: I didn't manage to finalise the builds, yet, but despite this I am bringing them to Live Auction. As I dramatically and with a strong self-flagellating tone state in the poster, I have a very bad track record. My guilt trips and remorseful conscience trips, (lots of tripping) got me to literally have nightmares those past couple of years about working on the rezzers to finalize the builds.
I discussed with Elizabeth if it was faire to not give Fairelanders the option to own a piece of the region just so I can feel better, or go ahead and bite it, so am biting it. There's a major difference this year that makes me confident I shouldn't struggle so much into finalising and preparing the builds for the winners, because I had complete control over the build due to meshing it myself, while in the past i used resources as templates and built a lot with primitives, texture alignments and overall making it work for the region, but failing to see them as standalone pieces. So every time I wanted to improve them before giving them out, which led to literally years passing by. I find it disrespectful to make people wait for so long, no excuse or reason, for how much valid, really takes away the fact that I made a commitment and I didn't yet deliver on it. So this is my apology to those that are still waiting, and also my hope that for this round I won't be such an otter disappointment, otters need love too. Grateful for the sometimes blind trust,

Alia

Live auction starts today, Sunday May 10th on The Golden hour, at 1pm slt and will probably last for about 37 hours, and we'll all be enjoying our Tin Tinz Faire Podcast with snacks and a good drink. I see you there, and if not check the stream.

Dear Visitor and Fairelander,
Thank you for visiting Requiem and participating in the Dies Irae Hunt. This year we will explore the Stones of memory around the region and their messages, so to find your daily prize you must visit the Well Chamber and match the current Keeper's Quote to its relative Grave somewhere in the region.
If you missed a day you can still get your prize by visiting the inner Sanctuary of the Well where you can donate to get your item. I hope you will enjoy this year's experience,
Alia Baroque

Don't fear the Reaper

Requiem's Grand Mass comes with Levity and Gravitas, the serious nature of remembrance balanced by the levity of memories. Two sides of the same coin, those two human elements merge in the celebration of Life through Death, and Death through living. It's up to you to choose which sentiment grows stronger or if balance between the two is the goal.  Hope to see you there, 

Alia

Each side offers an exclusive skin in a RFL vendor (L$990 each) to show your support and choice. The skins are available only during this event, so join the party, dance, donate, celebrate humanity.
If the region is full, there’s event platforms on Amon Galadrann and Willowton Cuthbert.

If you know in advance that you cannot be there, but wish to purchase these skins, contact Sonya Marmurek before the event. If you pay the skins to her, she will put the money into the RFL kiosks during the event, and the skins will be manually delivered to you in a few days after the event.
