Thanks, Sleepyrose. Lia came up with a really interesting plot. And I don't have WA but I'd love to see what you'd do with the signs you're referring to. Lilith's private collection would be great.



OOPS!

Lol...I'm sorry. I'll have to rewrite that part then. Here you go:

HISTORY (The version without Lilith's husband accompanying her)

Many years after the first Spanish settlers had reached the shore, a flame-haired woman set foot on the land in search of a new beginning. Locals were intrigued by her presence and soon came to see her as an outsider ("forastera") even after failed attempts on her part to fit in. Only one man out of the many had bothered to befriend her and it was then that she realized that what truly set her apart wasn't her appearance, but something that went deeper than that. Something in her had awakened and she knew that even before the birth of her first child, she would be to the one to unleash hell on earth.

By the time the town had caught up to her dark secret, she had fallen into the arms of her only male friend. Even when others were accusing her of inflicting illnesses on them, he had come to her rescue and refused to end their clandestine affair. They saw her as a witch but in his eyes, she was a goddess ("diosa").

Sadly, love wasn't enough to save her life and she was burnt at the stake three nights after the birth of their illegitimate daughter who was among the few survivors of the mysterious disease. It then became a common belief that those who opened their hearts would prosper, and those that refused to show kindness and love were bound to suffer.

Thanks for correcting and as I said before great job on the story

Thanks, Lana! Feel free to add it to the first page of the thread so builders can refer to it. Where's Lia anyway? She deserves the credit for the ideas...lol

You're right, congrats to both of you for giving us a great background

Wow, I just read it. The story is REALLY good, but on another note, perhaps we should mention that she was engaged? So the readers will be able to understand the affair aspect.

And sorry Charming! I've been away for a while because of school. I've been working on essay writing and prepping for high school. Darn, I hate essays. I'm going to be working on bio's pretty soon, so I'll be the inhabitants thread. (=

Hmmm, a bit of an odd request, but could we include a themed clown in the graveyard, a la Tragic Clown? I've sort of taken to adding one to the graveyard in each world I work on. For example, there's Sinister Clown in Niua Simoa, and there's Cassanova Clown in a world I'm about to release. If I'm having a hand in this, it'd be pretty cool to include another clown, if other collaborators are cool with the idea. Ideas for a theme would be welcome if it's okay.

That sounds like a fun idea. If that doesn't imply too much additional cc, I'm definitely ok for that.

The clown sounds like it will be fun... I always had a thing for dead clowns lol i rather them dead and look at them then alive and run away from them

Haha sounds like a fun idea kiwi i think tragic clown would be a bad idea as the tragic clown group has just been set up here at MTS and we don't want to look like we're copying, but any other type of dead clown is cool

I would have said let's have a twisted crazy clown but the idea of having this wandering ghost might be too frightening for tasia :p

Well, seeing as we're talking fearful, I'm going to make 'Cowardly Clown'. He'll constantly faint at the sight of the other ghosts, it'll be brilliant. All good?

kiwi-tea, I love that idea

Kiwi: that sounds more like a clown i would like a nice cowardly clown

Lana: I just pictured a twisted crazy clown terrorizing my sims lol i think they would be scared of him too.. except this one girl she seems to love the dead for strange reasons and that's Talula lol from the time i put her in my hood she has been around ghosts and the cemetery her entire life well until she became one

Kiwi tea, that's such a funny idea! I love it.

Thanks, Lia. I've edited it and mentioned Lilith being engaged. I know essays can be tough but I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job. Your high school years are gonna be great. I miss mine already...lol

A tragic clown would be kinda cool, Kiwi. What about Wrenna's sister? She's one of Talula's ancestors and hydrophobia runs in the family as a result of members dying in mysterious way (usually involving the sea). How about a Hydrophobic Clown? Lol.

HISTORY (Version 3 with Lilith engaged)

Many years after the first Spanish settlers had reached the shore, a flame-haired woman who had run away from her estranged fiance set foot on the land in search of a new beginning. Locals were intrigued by her presence and soon came to see her as an outsider ("forastera") even after failed attempts on her part to fit in. Only one man out of the many had bothered to befriend her and it was then that she realized that what truly set her apart wasn't her appearance, but something that went deeper than that. Something in her had awakened and she knew that even before the birth of her first child, she would be to the one to unleash hell on earth.

By the time the town had caught up to her dark secret, she had fallen into the arms of her only male friend. Even when others were accusing her of inflicting illnesses on them, he had come to her rescue and refused to end their clandestine affair. They saw her as a witch but in his eyes, she was a goddess ("diosa").

Sadly, love wasn't enough to save her life and she was burnt at the stake three nights after the birth of their illegitimate daughter who was among the few survivors of the mysterious disease. It then became a common belief that those who opened their hearts would prosper, and those that refused to show kindness and love were bound to suffer.

So is our NH going to be called Porto Corrado? I don't think there was a decision, we kinda just moved off the subject, lana, you're team leader, is that our final name or are we still looking? also i'm trying to think of good names right now for our group! :P

I'm ok with Porto Corrado and I think that the majority was ok with it. Alright, let's say that if nobody disagree until Saturday it's going to be our name. And if someone disagree, we should have some kind of poll. That works for everyone?

I hope you'll come up with some nice group names, I really am uninspired right now

Haha, well thesaurus is my friend i came up with:
World Pioneers
CAW Engineers
Landscape Architects

World Pioneers is fun but we are hardly pioneers so... Landscape architects seems a little misguiding too, We don't create houses but a world. We're gods

CAW engineers, why not, but maybe we can find something better?

Yeh, they are all pretty bad ideas i am so stuck for a name! maybe we could have something not relating to worlds at all, but something quircky and different!

How about Tectonic Sims? We work from the shaky plates upwards.

haha i like it! :D

That's innovative :P

I love Porto Corrado as the name for our world and Tectonic Sims is a very cool group name! :D

I'll try making an avatar for our group, unless someone is graphic savvy, because i'm certainly not XD
