Chaotic and organized Land

When Five bought a plot of land, the region was still only sparsely populated. The land was “no convenant” and not a quiet area. On this continent everyone can buy and do what he wants. After a few months every bit of land was sold. Everyone started building something. Most of the time the people built was a house. Some enterprises were showing their real life products. But on the whole it was unorganized, like a chaos. In fact it still is. No one is really interested in what their neighbor is doing. Basically we are all trying to shut of the other from our land, trying not to see the other, imagining that the other doesn’t exist. At the same time the selling people are hoping everyone is coming around to see what they sell! Walking around is impossible. Only flying between the plots gives you a possibility to see what is down there. No roads are separating the buildings. It is a bit like a soukh.

There are no streets or highway ordering (or cutting up) the space, because traffic is not a problem. But roads are not only for traffic, they also divide the buildings, providing space around them. This interesting side effect of roads is only discovered in the game of Second Life!
No roads means that everyone, only minding their own business, is actually building a wall between each other. Small walls of Berlin everywhere! Some are trying to escape in the direction of the air above us, and as a result even in this vast space buildings are appearing.
Older sims are sometimes organized in a theme. For instance Five likes to visit the sim with the Wastelands theme, or the elven theme sim. People are working together within the framework of an idea. This gives a coherent space, where things are presented in more variety and depth. You are more induced to explore and look around.
But then something happened. Probably connecting, relating is also a basic feature of the human, and so showing itself in Second Life.

In the neighborhood of Five’s land some people are starting to work together to get a more connected space. I discovered a place which was like an idyllic garden. It is called Pearls Gate. It consists of several plots of land, of a different character, with nice entrances between each other. The garden is connected through a blue archway with a dance floor, and on the other side there are some buildings which serve as art gallery. So you can walk around on circular stone forms and have time to discover, for instance, some pavilions and waterworks. The only way to visit the chaotic individual buildings is flying. Only when several plots of land are connected you come down from the air and start exploring on foot. Sometimes you discover a few lovers, oh jee? Am I disturbing a starting romance? They seem to be very well together. But wait: the girl is rather frightening me! She is wearing a pair of shooters on her legs. I ask myself if she is going to shoot him afterwards. Although he seems to be strong with his tattoos, I pity him very much. He will be like the male of that big spider that eats him after having made love to him. How sad life is!
