A Look Back

4 Years of the

Fairport Joust

 

It all started in late April of 2010...

Kiva and Marie had been in Second Life for seven weeks since the closing of the

virtual world they had called their virtual home for a few years.

 

They got a couple parcels of land at the Margarettaville sim, putting a castle up, a shop area

for others who were designers in the other virtual world, and a jousting list.

 

 

There were no teams.  There were no groups.  There was no politics.

There were only jousters who wanted to ride, who wanted to shatter lances.

No one kept track of how many wins anyone had.  Every joust was a new chance to improve yourself.

And everyone helped each other learn.  You would watch the other jousters, and ask them questions.

There was no "school" except right there at the list.

And everyone would cheer for everybody.

 

People just wanted to...

 

 



 

A year and a half later, we owned our own sim, the Realm of Fairport.

The road that passed in front of the list got its name:

 

Here we celebrated:

 

As jousting groups formed, and more jousts were held around the grid,

the Fairport Joust was nudged out of their time slot, so we made lemonaid and

embraced Monday Night Football..er... Jousting!

The NFL sort of became the Realm of Fairport Joust

and we were thrilled!  (And when the Green Bay Packers played on

Monday nights, you could count on Kiva & Marie to wear green & gold

at that evening's joust)

 

We celbrated our:

 

The day after Super Bowl Sunday, we hosted Super List Monday and gave out

Fairport Super List rings to all:

 

On Monday, April 21, 2014, we celebrated four years of weekly jousts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people have asked why we are stopping our weekly joust.

For those who haven't asked us and would like the truth:  Altho we are together for jousts,

we have no time to talk to each other, to let each other know we're thinking about the other,

to give each other a teasing wink.  To put it simply, we're being romatically selfish

and want more Second Life "us time".  We are able to achieve that at our twice weekly dances,

 but not at the jousts.

So, we are replacing jousts with Second Life dates!

Please contact us if you have further questions.  :)

What Kiva & Marie Did When SL Was Down

 

The Pink &/or Blue Dance event was cancelled due to Second Life maintenance issues,

so what did Kiva & Marie do?

They blew up and shot stuff on Saints Row the Third, of course!

(Marie looks grouchy cuz there is a PURPLE bar over her head)

Kiva & Marie are known as Brigand231 & Mrs231 on Steam.

 

 

 

Pirates Event on Saturday, April 19, 2014

 

Pirates boarded the Dance Garden for the Realm of Fairport Saturday night dance:

 

The group, early in the event.

 

It looks like either Marie is reaching for something or Kiva is pulling her closer.

Knowing them, it is likely both!

 

Gypsie looks ready for some swashbuckling!

 

Des & Amza don't need lifeboats, they have each other!

Thank you for sponsoring a round of Trivia, Des!

 

Geryn & Nyza cutting a rug on deck.

 

We were thrilled Luckyheart brought a bit of Easter to the event!

 

Snowhawk & Church (Church was showing us he was ready

for the Pink & Blue event).

 

Mr. Fox & Liska show us they aren't land lubbers tonight!

Thank you, Liska, for sponsoring a round of Trivia!
