NFS Valley (is Metro North laying track yet?)

[Jamie Palisades]

As someone who bought & is building in the valley of NFS, I read Sudane's comment elsewhere (about Alpine Meadows) with some interest:

> In RL I live in New York City, and I frequently travel outside the

The only "north valley" of NFS is Su's own parcel, so I assume she means us Southerners, in the general vicinity of the Red House that Jon recently razed.

Hee hee. OK, I'll take the bait. Are we doing something wrong? Or are we just at end of a serendipitous period when a lot of owned land was left vacant? There's a lot of Bauhaus Manque in that quadrant. But that's what the Land Covenant of Yore says is OK, outside the NFS city walls. Does someone want to propose changing it? JP

While I generally like Sudane's proposal, I think she exaggerates the difficulty of building the landscape. SL densities work a bit differently than RL densities -- in part because we have much simpler houses, perspective works differently in SL, and typically we leave out a great deal of the detail that exists on RL landscapes.

You (accidentally?) provide a good example of that .

Hey Jon -

You forgot we don't have that pesky GRAVITY to work against.

My sense of direction in the CDS sims is constantly disoriented. Of course you are right... I meant the south valley; really, what we have always called the "valley" of NFS. The other "outside the walls" zone was traditionally called the NW Viertel, which I should have remembered in trying to orient my compass-challenged brain.
