Apparently I have chosen: I’m going to keep the 8192 parcel in Hector, next to the beautiful and unique Rubi Woods. Turns out this was a last, nostalgic visit to Noru at least. Prime time Jeogeot will now become more the stuff of legends, to be analyzed in years to come. It is directly attached to Whitehead Crossing. There’s still some energy in Rubi thanks to the woods. And Heterocera’s VHC Town is a more important urban center now than Parktown and Chilbo put together probably. And it’s on The Diagonal that also crosses Rubi and its forest. Setting up some kind of Sylver Forest Council is next, most likely. This could be my last SL home.

The movement away from Jeogeot starting in Dec. 2012 likely cannot be reversed. I chose Heterocera at the time (Sikkima). I’ve been chosing Heterocera for almost the year and a half since. I’m following in line.

The Hector parcel is not VWX Town reincarnated. I must study individual buildings. I believe another version of the TILE Temple might be next, at least originating as a skybox creation.

… but still not 100 percent certain about this. Hucka D.? You around?

Hucka D.:

Okay, list the advantages/disadvantages out again. And leave an option to get rid of *both*. And also to keep both, actually.

bb:

I think the latter is right out, Hucka. I have to start focusing on a new carrcass.

Hucka D.:

Then the next to last option comes into play.

bb:

Where I get rid of both. Well, I don’t think so. I think it’s one or the other still.

Hucka D.:

Parktown still has some energy left. That’s a Noru plus. Chilbo is still around… another Noru plus. You could explore the Korean Channel again. Noru seems more connected to Whitehead Crossing. Noru-Norum-Norumbega. Rubi has the forest. But you can explore the forest without the property. Rubi property is *more valuable*. Sell it

bb:

Advantages to Rubi?

Hucka D.:

You say them.

bb:

Proximity of the Fal Mouth Moon gallery to Power Tower Gowlery and perhaps Toxic Art Gallery. I can’t do this in Noru. Also the whole area below these 2 main galleries has essentially become a park, controlled by a very interesting rock alignment considerably more complex than found in Noru. The 2 are tied, even — Noru’s 7 rocks comes from those removed of the 21 originally in Hector, according to mythology. I could move the Noru Museum to Rubi. The labyrinth would surely fit in somewhere.

Hucka D.:

Try it.

bb:

That’s where it will have to be, Hucka D. I’m not sure it’s as good a fit as in Noru.

Hucka D.:

Sure it is.

Top row of Celtic stones in Hector are highlighted in the below photo. There’s actually a 5th one hidden in the corner of the old City Hall building to the top right, a cornerstone in effect. This Top or First Row does not run exactly east to west, like the Bottom Row we’ll get to in a second. Instead the angle is about maybe 7 degrees off from straight east-west, tilted to the northeast (direction of the hidden Cornerstone).

Bottom Row. Logically, perhaps, there should be another stone in the very *southwest* corner of the property to counterbalance the Cornerstone. However, the property does not have a true sw corner, this being instead boxed off and included as Linden property along the road to the west: a “Lost Notch.” So the Bottom Row only contains 4 stones while the Top has 5.

Now we come to the first of 3 diagonals of Hector stones. Since there is no sw stone, as stated, then the first true diagonal runs not ne to sw but instead nne to ssw. I should also introduce here the Center Stone of the alignments, which always comes into play during the various diagonals and also the central column. The NNE-SSW Diagonal contains 4 stones. All Diagonals should logically contain 5 stones — one from the top row, one from the bottom, the Center Stone, and then the 2 stones between the Center Stone and the top and bottom stones. Here the rock between the Center Stone and Top Stone is missing — a gap, necessitated by the once presence of the Toxic Art Gallery in this space, deleted just today. It may return soon, especially if I decide to keep the Hector lot.

The Central (n-s) Column, containing 5 stones just like the Top Row. This row and column could also be construed as making up a central “T” of rocks on the property.

The NNW-SSE Diagonal, like the NNE-SSW Diagonal just discussed, contains 4 rocks instead of 5, with a gap this time coming between the Central Rock and the Bottom Rock. Again the gap is filled by a structure, in this case the Noru Museum building just rezzed on the property yesterday, I believe. However, it was also the spot of the Norris Building before that.

The last diagonal, running nw to se, contains 3 stones, or the 2 stones lying to the ne and sw, aligned with the Center Stone.

I wonder if the rock that should have been placed in the Lost Notch represents also the eventual loss of the Hector Property, as I choose Noru over proximity to the Rubi Forest? Can I truly give up Hector? Not super super important in the long run which one I choose, but…

Hector stones in 5×5 grid: 14 stones.

Hector stones if grid complete: 21 stones.

Comparison of full grid with actual stones: 14/21. 1/3rd of original stones are missing?

Perhaps another way to look at it: the 7 missing Hector stones were given to *Noru* (!).

If so, there’s still a Lost Stone.

Another labyrinth, without the accompanying Temple of TILE this time, now exists directly behind Noru’s Toxic Art Gallery, mainly on the new 512 I bought several days back.

Nice fit — space sheltered by several different species of pine trees to the west.

Meanwhile in Hector we have the insertion of a copy of the still evolving Noru Gallery Building, with the primary one on my Noru property, logically enough. I’ll provide a tour soon. But does it really fit in Rubi as well??

Mysterious appearance of a pool inside the Rubi Forest that was gone by this morning when I rechecked.

So at latest count, Noru (Blue) still has the upper hand over Hector/Rubi (Red). Oh, I suppose I forgot to mention I’ve put up the Hector land for sale: 63 dollars. Any takers?

… I’ve inserted the Rubi Museum (originally found in Rubi’s VWX Town) on the northeast corner of the property, fitted snugly against the Power Tower. It is a fairly interesting composite building, a mashup of 2 Moard Ling structures.

But most of the big changes have come in Noru lately.

Structure promptly inserted in Noru as well, complete with waterfalls this time.
