Yesterday the residents of the Fruit Islands estate in Second Life celebrated the re-opening of their sim, “Mango“, by launching an enormous balloon rally. Flying mostly the (truly awesome) Cirrus balloons, pilots led their airborne flotilla around dozens of fruit-named tropical islands.
But even private estates have problems with private security, apparently. At one point, a few balloonists found themselves trapped between two flanking ban lines and unable to escape, even though they were all Fruit Islanders themselves, which led to shouts of “ban lines suck!”
Besides that small glitch, the flight went well — I was happy to see so many of my balloons in the air!
