Hey!! It’s been a few weeks. I wasn’t well and just didn’t have the energy for blog writing but a lot has happened recently for FSG and Second Life so time to catch up 😉 But before all of that here come the links:

As always if you visit FSG look out for the handy teleport pads which are also sign posted. There might even be new additions to the spots you can visit which this mysterious Cat isn’t sharing here (OK it’s an old pic lol):
One super sweet thing you’ll see when visiting The Penthouse @ FSG is that Esmi has added a pic display of our FSG admin team…
Those are the sweet full avatar images above but why not share the individual pics right?
I really love these shots and it’s awesome to be displayed alongside some of my best friends in the whole of Second Life. I hope you can excuse my narcissism in wanting to share 😛 .
OK before I talk about all the fun stuff that happened recently I want to cover something important which we addressed in a server post but it’s possible you all might have missed that. Rather than write it all out again I’ll copy the post here…
“The admin team have discussed the recent Medium article regarding Second Life and we’ve decided it is something we need to address so our community here fully understands our stance/rules related to what has been revealed in said article. For context if you haven’t read it I suggest you do however please be warned it isn’t a nice read at all and some folks may feel triggered by the content within it.
To be clear and succinct our stance as a team, server, and community has always been that any aspects of ageplay or any of the actions discussed within the Medium article are not and will never be accepted, allowed, or tolerated within our community in Second Life or here in the server. We pride ourselves on the fact we have built an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all Second Life users to be part of especially the LGBTQAI+ community (which this server was always designed to support).
We’re deeply saddened that allegedly Linden Lab appears to have allowed awful things to go unchecked on their platform but we’re also aware that when such awful things are revealed that a segment of any society may use them as a reason/excuse to attack LGBTQAI+ community members. To that end we wish to not only remind everyone of the server rules – which have been updated to make our stance on ageplay even clearer but also to reassure that this is a safe space for all of us and will remain so.
I’m keenly aware having spent most of my time in Second Life identifying/presenting as a femboy that there will be people who don’t understand how some members of the LGBTQAI+ community choose to present/identify and that there will be some bigots who use these recent awful revelations to try and attack our community members; we will not tolerate such actions here. This space will always remain safe for you all.
Regards
Semy, Mady, Esmi, and Dal.”
(Please note that since I wrote the above Discord post Medium has updated their site with a 410 error and the original post is no longer available to read https://medium.com/@dantesedmond1844/the-reality-of-second-lifes-ageplay-problem-73de059b4af4 ).
Anyhow moving on…
So as you’ll see by the awesome event poster (at the start of this blog entry) we recently relaunched Mady’s Playground at FSG!! Mady was hard at work for several weeks getting her new club build just right and it’s an amazing sci-fi (Babylon 5 and The Expanse) inspired space with loads of little surprises hidden in it. Want to go and peek? Here’s the SLurl:
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burning%20Desire%20Island/32/192/2753 – Mady’s Playground.
We decided that before we got to the launch party it would be nice to build a little bit of hype with a couple of extra events. So as you can see that sneaky cat has been prowling around again and brought some more riddles with it. If you want to see all the of the riddles and who solved them all please go peek at the channel in the FSG Discord server:
https://discord.com/channels/964898637190672495/1164208826883526819/1204494105896558683
But I’ll share Dal’s faves below.
This time the riddles came in pairs…
Walking the wastes makes you wish for strange things
The heatstroke might make you sing with the Kings
But there’s a refreshing beverage, I tell you fella
Just stay away from that gross sarsaparilla.
Your crunchy texture, oh so nice,
Your taste, a symphony of spice,
From salty to sweet, you shine,
A snack to make the heart entwine.
In its flashy display, a story is told
Of dreams fulfilled and desires sold
An invitation to a world unseen
A world of glamour, of luxury, of pristine.
But beyond the facade, a truth whispers low
Of consumerism’s grip, of values in tow
In the relentless pursuit of wants and needs
We forget the essence of what truly feeds.
In the flickering lights, a dance unfolds
A ballet of bytes, a story untold
Of connections made, of networks strong
In this chamber of data, where minds belong.
But there was more!!! We also had a Mady’s Playground reopening photo contest 🙂 . We asked folks to take pics at the new club and here are the winners…
Kat won L$500 for his gravity defying shot.
Jade picked up L$750 for this steamy pic.
L$1000 went to Jasper for this epic cybertastic photo.
And of course on Saturday the 10th of Feb Mady’s reopened officially! Geo and London played two fantastic DJ sets and oodles of you joined us. But if you missed the party here’s some pics 😛 .
More FSG stuff though? There was!!! Dal has been busy recently organising community art projects and field trips. The art project – which was based around members adding items to the background – was western themed this time. Here’s a few member pics…
(I actually don’t know who took these so please let me know if it was you!)
Dal also arranged a FSG Field trip to a super cool location called Once Upon a Time. Everything was macro sized so those who went along were able to blend in with the objects there Toy Story style. Gallery coming below…
(I’ll fill the SLurl info in here when Dal tells me lol)
(If I’ve used anyone’s photos without crediting you please let me know and I’ll add the info after publishing this blog entry).
I have used lots of pics taken by Esmi and Dal of course so please find links to their Flickr accounts below:

So what’s coming up FSG event, quest, mission, er thing wise in the future? Well honestly there’s some stuff I can’t tell you everything about quite yet but I’ll tease some dates… On Saturday the 23rd of March FSG DJs (Esmi, Geo and I) will be playing an hour set each at a Blacklist Bunker event; I’ll even have a mini quiz during my set 😛 . And we’ve just started planning for another brand new Saturday event on the 20th of April; keep an eye on the server for a post about that in the coming weeks.
Two immediately important dates for you though…
Today Thursday the 7th of March at 12pm SLT! Geo debuts as a regular DJ for FSG Thursdays at Mady’s Playground! She’ll be playing alternate weeks now along with Moira so there will be a party every Thursday 🙂 .
This Saturday (the 9th of March) at 12pm SLT the Blacklist Bunker Crew are hosting an event at the Trouble sim. Lupe and Daxia will be DJing. Keep an eye on in world groups and the server as the LM and SLurl will be sent out just before the party kicks off!
One of our rooms at the FSG Penthouse is getting redecorated and Esmi needs your help!! Please read his following message:
“Spring has sprung at the Femboy Penthouse: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burning%20Desire%20Island/32/209/1259 and we’re having a bit of a refresh design-wise!
We’re looking for some new art to hang in the Kitten Room, and figured why not ask you peeps to help us out?
So I’m announcing the mini-not-quite-a-contest-thing “The FSG Catboi Photo Invitational.” (Not strictly for bois!)
Pics can be any size and shape and taken anywhere
Must include cat ears and/or tail
Any gender allowed
Not too lewd (no bare crotches on show)
Pics of avis that may be deemed underage will not be accepted
Best five pics will be judged by admins and be hung in the Kitten Room at the penthouse for at least a year.
Our favourite pic gets a profile portrait done by Esmiel (with theme etc of your choice)
Closes Friday 16th March!
Send your entries to Esmiel, Semy, Mady or Dal and they will be posted in the photo-invitationals channel for all to see!”

I’m a little exhausted finishing this blog today; mostly my fault I should have done one sooner so this one didn’t have so much in it but I was exhausted lol. Seriously though we’ve had so much amazing stuff happening as part of the whole FSG project that I’m a bit overwhelmed. It’s been over 2 years since I wrote my first blog about FSG and so much has happened and changed since.
( https://semysays.com/2022/01/15/semy-says-femboy-style-guide/ first FSG blog ).
I’ve also just checked and this will be my nineteenth blog which maybe doesn’t seem much to some folks but it does to me. We’ll have to come up with something extra special for the main feature of the twentieth!
See you epic peeps at the upcoming parties!! Love you 🙂
