"Spooky" Showcase Winner!

 

I'm pleased to announce Solaria, Rori was one of the locations officially chosen for the Haunted Galactic Showcase.  What does that mean?  As the image above reads, we were part of the Friday Feature section for October 22, 2010.

For those of you with emo Anakin patience issues, here's all you need to see if you're here for Solaria...

Haunted Galactic Showcase

Solaria City Hall

Location: Solaria, Rori (city hall)
Nearest SP: Rebel Outpost
Server: Starsider
Proprietor: Mayor Jivaro Qel-Jairus
In Solaria, Rori I try to keep citizens and visitors interested in the city by decorating City Hall for the major holidays. Making it spooky for the Galactic Moon Festival had received a lot of positive feedback, and I hope people enjoy it this year too.

This Death Trooper armor guards the entrance to the mayor's office. Notice the rotting stomach in the background and an appropriate warning sign to ward off the squeamish.

One of the usual city hall attractions is the "city in a city" display which the fog machine is engulfing. A carved pumpkin is resting on a house in the background and a Tusken raider is sporting some biological flair.

A krayt skeleton is trying to scale the wall while skulls and carved pumpkins watch. The two outfits are costumes from a fan film I starred in called "To the Moon and Back."

Neither heroes nor villains are safe from my decorating, hence the Jan-Go-Lantern and the big brain on Mace.

This is me posing in one of the more mundane scenes; a skeleton in front of a painting of Z'ozpheratu.

I must have gotten too close to the decorations. I ended up stuck in my own web.

It seems an afflicted version of me is trying to destroy City Hall. Hopefully his dexterity had been severely hampered but... uh-oh. Little help, GMs?

It's an honor to make it so far as a city, and I hope all the citizens are as happy as I am.  I have a good time decorating each holiday and I'll have more pics to come.

Citizen of the Month 2010.03 (Klouds)

The main question might be to ask what this title is about. Or what this is about below...

I made a promise to be more involved and help bring the community together. Something I always wished to do was reward those positive citizens who rise above the norm. So this is the first official citizen of the month.

On the last week of the month, I will announce a citizen who will be next month's person. The date format is easily explained [year.month]. My only regret was not having a better system in mind sooner.

The statue seen above presently sits outside the Solaria shuttle in rather plain view. It has an inscription of this honor, and a proclamation also hangs above the ballot box in city hall. The statue will later become a trophy for the citizen to keep when the next one is placed in the city.

This citizen of the month is...

Klouds

Why?

Many agree Klouds is an exemplary citizen in Solaria. She is always keen to help entertain in one of our cantinas, and also never complains when asked to move a house or help arrange an event. She has lived in the city for years and traveled almost every direction in Solaria.

Klouds also has the only theater in Solaria (named Solaria's Theater) in the southeast which I used as the centerpiece of the latest community I developed for the city. Never be shy to ask for a buff, since she is one of the most approachable citizens in Solaria.

Please congratulate her in the comments or when passing her in the city. She has earned it!
