SL19B On Fire!

The 19th Second Life birthday (SL19B) celebrations ended in disaster. Fire destroyed most of the Bay City exhibit.

Fire Starts

Security camera footage showed that the fire started at the Bay City exhibit. The fire spread around the exhibit like, wild fire setting ablaze all the regions. During the fire nobody was near yet some claim to have heard loud laughing in a high pitched voice running away.

Bay City Exhibition On Fire

The Bay City fire department (BCFD) was alarmed and scrambled to the struck place to save as much as possible.

BCFD Scrambles

The last footage of the security camera, before it melted, was a view of a red hot gear that appeared to be spinning.

Red Hot Gear

The Bay City police department (BCPD) managed to retrieve the, still hot, gear with a giant helicopter, for further investigations.

Gear Transported To Bay City

The analysis so far was inconclusive. It is possible that the gear wasn't oiled enough and spinned out of control. Sabotage as a cause can not be ruled out.

Analysis By The BCPD

The fire was mostly put out by the BCFD however the damage was beyond repair. All around regions crashed making recovery of exhibits near impossible.

The mayori (TINM) states 

"There was significant damage to the north (left hand) side of the structure, right above the wall discussing the Caledon Cold War. Aside from the obvious fire and other damage, everything seemed in place. We did not recover the "Caledon Cares" box, however, but I assume that may have been lost in the fire. We couldn't do much on site, as we had to disassemble the build and pack out. We did save this gear for examination, as it seemed relevant."

This newspaper will keep you up-to-date on further developments.

Bay City Post, Edition 87

Welcome to the eightyseventh edition of the Bay City Post!

Keeping you updated on the best city on the grid!

The world has stopped spinning yet it continues to rotate.

In that spirit your reporters went out to make you this edition.

This month there were two special, sad editions.

Message From Uccie

Goodbye Uccie

Note: Bay City representatives are working with the community and city workers to do something special to celebrate Uccie her life.

In this edition we have for you:

Police an Fire Blotter

The one and only police officer in Bay City is keeping the pulse of our Fine City 24/7. Nothing escapes his attention, be it good, be it bad, be it catastrophical.

The Bay City Police Has Moved

They will now serve our Fine City from Moloch. Send your criminals. Keep your pyromaniacs.

Last Names Are Back

After a little wait (...) the City Workers have reintroduced Last Names.

It's different as the old last names, where all new residents could choose a last name from an ever changing list and invent a first name.

Then it became Username+Resident and Display-Name but people wanted to have Real last names again.

Now you still start off as Username-Resident but once you upgrade to Premium and you pay the fee of 40us$ you can choose a new last name from an ever changing list and invent a new first name.

You still can set a Display-Name free of charge.

Why do you want a Last Name? Because it looks way much better as Username-Resident.

And.... it is great for couples that want to go on sharing the same (yet new) Last Name.

You can change your last name as many times as you want, 40us$ each time, and go back to a previous name, for 40us$, as it is reserved only for you.

Read more about it.

Choose and set your lastname.

Strawberry Linden No Longer A Noob!

Resident Strawberry Singh tried a different method to get another last name a year ago. She became a City Worker.

Now she has two last names! Linden and Singh. (though technically one of the two is an alt)

On April the 15th she celebrated one year of being a Linden and can no longer be called a noob.

Happy Rezday Berry!!

Come Celebrate Bay City's12th Anniversary!

Celebrations is something we in our Fine City are good at. Come and join us!

New Heliport Build At Moloch.

After moving the Bay City Police Station to Moloch our police officer realized that the best way to fight crime in our Fine City a helicopter is a good way to move around. For that he ordered a brand new Heliport to be build near the station. Also it is a nice way to get some additional income as it is equipped as a GTFO station.
