Tal Everybody
Just a word to let folks know that we remain your Gorean Tropical alternative in Second Life for what is now our seventh year. Visitors will find a few things on the Sim that look a little different while most of the familiar places remain. Goreans Portal Radio has us on the Amazing Anytimers List, and so you'll notice that a few radio shows originate from various locations on the sim.
Shai remains a lag free, no drama zone, where a Gorean can make a home and build a personal Gorean paradise in the tropics.
We have had an inquiry or two about the play, A Slavegirl's Story. As yet, we are unable do a performance, but we plan to try it out soon and make a determination as to feasibility.
I wish you all well and see you in Schendi!

2011 Off and Running
Tal Everybody
Fifth Anniversary is approaching, now that we are almost into February. Just know, I suppose, that we have at least thought a bit about that.
The Summer and Fall was spent mostly working on two things. One, and probably most time consuming, Topical Tunes on Goreans Portal Radio, where we have done approximately twelve shows on a bi weekly basis. We have gotten our system down a little more efficient now but it still takes seven or eight hours or so to put a show together. We have had a blast doing it, obviously, or we wouldn't have put so much time into it.
The show intends to mix Gorean information and philosophy with Popular music. We have tried to make the selections a bit fresh and varied. We appreciate the support and all the great comments so far.
Second thing we've been working on Schendi and Shai all along. Mostly a bit here and there, but we have a very nice build now in Shai which is available for occupancy as a private residence. It's worth a look.
We've also been working on Schendi Products, and gradually increasing our inventory. The idea is to keep close to the theme and to make sure our things are unique.
So, a belated Happy New Year to all.
I look forward to seeing you in 2011.
I wish you all well!

Tal Goreans,
What can I say? Happy Fourth Birthday to Schendi! We partied until by Sunday we just could not party any further. It was a blast. We tackled an especially ambitious three day program, and at the end I couldnt help but be reminded of a certain tune
...twelve IM's waiting, eleven questions asking, ten slaves a’swooning, nine typos tapping, eight Freemen boasting, seven ships a’sinking, six schedule mixups, five disconnections, four balky programs, three lightning strikes, two dead pixels and a tornado blowing down trees.
All the descriptions, thank yous and special notes follow. Thank You SL Gor for your support!

Tal Goreans,
Happy Fourth Birthday to Schendi! Lots of new stuff going on. Check out the blog section on Schendi's Fourth Anniversary Celebration. We are really excited about "Schendi Heat" Dance Exhibition and Competition and the new blog pages which are dedicated to that. Preparations for the big event will start this weekend with the preliminaries at the Golden Kailiauk. The Schendi Tavern has a new look in preparation for the two rounds there, this Saturday and Sunday the 22nd and 23rd, 3 to 5pm slt. The theme is "Captured by the Askari". Six dancers will advance to the main event on June 5th. The best of luck to all, winners every one. It has been an education for us, dealing with dedicated and talented girls, a real pleasure. In particular, also, we are especially proud of the snapshots and writeups on the girls participating. Have a look when you get a chance!
The final round will take place in the new Dance Pavillion on Utufuku Square in the middle of Schendi. Utufuku means "Glory".
We are pleased to welcome Agamemnon Padar to Schendi. His combination of education and personable manner is a valued addition at this time. Plus he has volunteered some needed assistance with the Art Show on Saturday Morning of the Celebration. His knowledge of Gorean art is extensive and he is particularly interested in the school of art called Orientalism. If you don't know what that means, ask him. You may learn something new and find something worth exploring.
Just in, we will travel to the Port of Hydra in the week following our Anniversary here, for a showing of "A Slavegirl's Story". Something to look forward to after the big weekend. Promises to be a tight performance on a new sim with plenty of resources. Nice.
The Ancient City ruins got a makeover for the Dance on Saturday night of the Celebration. Nice to see. Don't forget, razi's compilation of jungle themed tunes are in store for us then and we'll dance and relax in the unique surroundings there on the shore of Lake Shaba above the Falls of Bila Huruma.

Anniversary Celebration coming in June
Tal, everyone! The interview and tour with ladina of Gorean Portals Radio turned out great. We much enjoyed her company. One has to like the way she expresses keen and insightful interest in the things she sees. We only got around about half way on the sim, so perhaps soon we can schedule another time where we can pick up where we left off.
While we are on the subject of ladina and GPR, she also narrated the performance of "A Slavegirl's Story" in Central Fire last week. More on that in the Theater section of this site, but suffice it to say, it was most appreciated. We thank the Radio Station and The Central Fire as well, for making it a successful evening.
The time for our Fourth Anniversary Celebration is rapidly approaching. Some important aspects of that are already well underway. We'll be using the new Kaissa tent which debuted this last Saturday for the match between Greenway Avril and Eldin Stonecutter. The Players displayed their not inconsiderable skill and we received some nice compliments on the facility also, by the way. So we'll have that for Kaissa at the event in June. The dance pavillion is ready as well and we have decided on a two event preliminary where the field will narrow to six dancers on Saturday June 5. We've asked Dar Ruska to provide an opening performance. Schendi's ebony breda will perform her interpretation of "Schendi heat" in exhibition for the theme of the dance event.
The event will include a Gorean trivia game, always enjoyable. We find it more than exciting doing something a bit different in that regard, Gorean Squares. As implied, it's based on the television game show with the similar name. I wish to thank in advance those folks in Three Moons, of Palace Gor from whom we are borrowing the idea. The game will concentrate on Schendi and Explorers related questions. We are looking forward to some laughs as well as interesting knowledge to share. The set we've created promises to amaze and take full advantage of the capabilities of Second Life. We'll need nine panelists, of course, so let us know if you can participate. Knowledge and the ability to bluff and make a joke perhaps are all important traits to possess.
Thinking that the beginning of the weekend should happen in a relaxing manner, the plan is to start Friday night off storytelling and then proceed with a movie, streamed to the screen at "The League". The film will be the classic Gor movie, Outlaw, based on the work of John Norman. Obviously, not a serious treatment of the subject, as anyone who has seen a bit of it will know, our version will amuse for sure. We will present Mystery Science Theatre 3000, episode 519. For anyone who isnt familiar, this is the show where the cartoon silouettes sit and make wisecracks about the movie. Outlaw stars Jack Palance and Donna Denton among others. "The main character's name "Cabot" is spoken more than 55 times in the opening 10 minutes alone, mostly by his friend Watney Smith". So you get the idea. We'll have fun.
Saturday, we'll continue the weekend program with Sidewalk Art. Schendi looks forward to seeing some excellent examples of the things that Goreans are doing these days. At two, after that, "Schendi Heat", the dance exhibition and competition will open with the performance by Dar Ruska. We'll follow with Gorean Squares at 5pm slt and at 7pm we hope as many of our Gorean friends as possible will gather to dance at the Ancient City ruins on the shore of Lake Shaba above the Falls of Bila Huruma.
Sunday we'll open the day with an interesting and inspiring Kaissa Match and close the Celebration at "The League" for a presentation of a Slavegirl's Story,
more details later, until then, I wish you all well

Recent Schendi News
Tal Goreans! The last months and weeks have brought some interesting developments to the city. Many of the changes and additions were long planned while others came up spontaneously. Visitors will now notice a set of street signs posted on most of the corners. Some of these are straight from Explorers. The Street of Coins, featuring a new bank, is said to be be common in Gorean Cities as is the Street of Brands. We also added a Street of Tapestries, which inspired the creation of three new shops, one containing carpets, and another, cloth textures. These are exciting additions to Schendi, adding color and interest.
From Book Thirteen, the city contains a large area known as Utukufu Square. A couple of surprises are coming up there, so begin to keep an eye out. The concept is to build in flexibility for various events. Hint...watch for the next upcoming Kaissa exhibition. The Square also now features a new fountain, where slaves may properly drink from a low position.
In the Jungle, we have begun to revamp some aspects of the Ancient City, so feel free to visit there as well and see how that work is coming along.
This week, ladina fauna of Goreans Portal Radio, plans to visit for a tour and interviews. The hardest working slave girl in Gor radio is also the lovely, longtime property of the city of Ko-Ro-Ba and we are looking forward to her show here and the chance to show off some of the things we are most proud of.
More later...we wish you all well.

Fourth Anniversary Celebration
Approaching Schendi's fourth anniversary in Second Life, I have yet to sway much from the conclusion that I reached in the beginning, right or wrong, that there are enough of certain things in SL Gor. Lag being a prime example! So, Schendi hopefully has been and will remain about those things perhaps less abundant. I invite people to come and look and perhaps discuss if they wish. Otherwise, I shall be about my business here. Upcoming in June, we hope to see a lot of friends at the Anniversary Celebration. This is one place to get details, so please keep an eye on this page. I wish the Free of Gor well...
