Easter on ImperiuM Island


Thanks (not) to my busy schedule and travel last week, I had no time to decorate my Linden Egg in time for the BunnyJam Contest…aw! But to get our sim a bit in the holiday spirit of Easter (read: another excuse to go shopping and finding nice decorations!) I put some Easter-decorations at the Landing…

A lovely Mondaynight


Before I had to go to training in the Dojo, I did some ironing for the rest of the week.. Training was good,  good times!

Done gardening (for now!)


In real-life I do not have a garden. I have had one or two, ages ago and always like working in them. Specially in spring, getting new plants and flowers and being busy out in the fresh air. In Second Life I always enjoy keeping up with the seasons on our sim, ImperiuM Island (G),…

Bloody blades


My way of unwinding after a long day tonight was sitting and watching Ratt, Lunita and Pilar fight :)            

Trainingnight, well…sort of!


Usually on the Wednesday evenings (22:00 CET) we have a recap of the grouptraining we had on the Monday. Last Monday we practiced for the upcoming CTF against the Yakuza Clan (mid March), which was great fun and very useful. Tonight Ratt had prepared a training in using the ‘specials’ in our swords, specifically when…

Getting back slowly


Ahh, I never find it easy to get really back fast into the fighting when I have been travelling. Odd, as I have not been away that long ! Anyway, I enjoyed watching Ratt, Oki and Nikita fight in our dojo, watching spars always relaxes me :)       Even if you are not…

FFA Madness


Last night we had a full house, ehm…Dojo!, and went for a total mad FFA *Free for All*….great fun with  Mellow, Eve, Utakata, Dinah, Oki, Robroy & Ratt!  

A Piercing Heart – by Bert Jedburgh


Today I got a link to a machinima shot in Combat Samurai Island, the home of C:si (the combat system we use), made by Bert Jedburgh.It is a sort of love-story and pretty amazing, specially the soundtrack makes it great! Although the actual fighting that is showed is not really impressive (it is kind of…

An Imperial Picnic


Sometimes, with all my travels through Second Life, I almost forget what a lovely sim ImperiuM Island is! I go to all kinds of places and enjoy the rest of world a lot, but every now and then it is just perfect to sit down on our own sim, chat the night away with friends…

Ultra Violence


Ultra Violence, that is what Ratt calls an evening of total mayhem: fighting with a couple of people for hours and hours and not stopping…when you die, you simply get up and start again..and again. Well that is basically what we (Ratt, George, Karelia and I) did all evening! And it felt good ! W0000t!…

Teengrid merged with Maingrid


Last night Terrence Linden announced in his blog, they were busy transferring the teens and their lands to the Maingrid. A while ago I sent out the official statement of The ImperiuM Katana on teens in Second Life and them being welcome in our Dojo, as we are one of the few C:si Clans that…

A visit to Ishida Clan


Last night, after I finally got a bit more energy and felt my weekend sinking in…I went for a visit to Omi no Kuni, the home of the Ishida Clan. The sim is a bit empty at the moment. Well a bit. It’s empty. But the Ishida Samurai were having some nice fights anyway. Apparently…

Well Crap – 2


Am back in Holland after some very busy days in the United Kingdom. When I returned last night, with a delayed flight, meh, I just did not have the energy to login and see what I missed in Second Life. Today another long and tedious day in the office, hence no access to SL. And…

Meanwhile in the Dojo…


While busy working in RL, I parked Cait on a bench in the Dojo, so she could watch H and Uri spar :). I like watching spars when doing other stuff, it’s kind of relaxing in a weird way. The clinging sounds of the blades, the bloodsplashes..hehe! Of course I was distracted for a moment…

The armed N00bs are coming!


When I logged in briefly this morning in ImperiuM , I saw a little green dot on the minimap. I hopped over (yay, I love double-click to teleport!) to go say ‘hello’ to the visitor! I am not sure if it was a ‘he’ or a ‘she’, the name did not tell it either, but…
