Hop On The Bus!

| 7 Comments | Share : del.icio.us  Digg  Facebook  MySpace

We have a question for all you islanders! What tool do you use the most in SI to learn about financial stuff? Is it the Learning Lounge, SIRS building, Career Center, other islanders or something else? Please tell us!

Why are we asking? Simple. We have a big, real world bus that goes around to a few towns in California — visiting schools, showing students fun and cool things on the island, and helping them learn skills to be smart about their money!

If the bus came to your town, what would you like to see?

Olympic Valley — Tag Our Streets!

| 18 Comments | Share : del.icio.us  Digg  Facebook  MySpace

You might have guessed from the title of this post that yes, we want YOU to help us name the streets of Olympic Valley (22s, 61w)!

Be creative and use your imagination to its fullest — anything is possible here on Stagecoach Island. The Valley has an international flavor and features the chalets and parks of a typical ski village.

Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

  • Swiss Alps Avenue

  • Mt. Fuji Highway

  • Mont Blanc Motorway

  • Long Luge Lane

  • Audubon Expressway

  • Aussie Avenue

What do you think the streets of Olympic Valley should be named? Share your suggestions with everyone!

A big round of applause to all of you who showed up to make the photo shoot so much fun. Everyone looked fabulous!

We shot a couple of pictures at Coconut Grove in Isla Del Sol and then climbed up to Snowboard Mountain for some sporty shots. King Rafa and Palemoon just could not stop dancing, and Brunette776, Karoline, Slade, Sinistar76 and Grizzlybear struck some sweet poses. Lostpoet and Legion came in their dressy suits, and RandyLH joined us at the end of the shoot. Take a look at the photos here, and let us know what you think. We’ll use the faves for the MySpace profile.

By the way, we also shot some video footage! Stay tuned to check those out—for now, let’s vote for the best picture for MySpace.

We searched far and wide and identified three plots of land for new neighborhoods. Now we need your help! Take a look at the locations we picked and think of creative and fun names for these upcoming neighborhoods. Think about surroundings and potential themes ... and most importantly, think of a name that best represents a place where you would want to build and live! Please give us your feedback by Wednesday, March 28.

Neighborhood Locations:

  • 83S 150E

  • Southernmost island
 

Neighborhood Scouting

In our efforts to find you new and exciting neighborhoods to build homes, we came across the plot where the community pool is currently located. The coordinates, if you are unfamiliar with the pool, are 17S 115E. We want to know what you think about building in this area! Should we open it to homes or keep it an open and untouched community area? You tell us!

Since we have members from the East coast to the West coast, we want to make sure that the Bingo playing time is good for everyone. Right now it starts at 8 p.m. PT. What do you think is a good time to start? We’re thinking 6 p.m. PT, but we want your opinion before we make a change!

 

Day Or Night?

We are going to turn on the night feature in S.I. and wanted to get your feedback about the day/night cycle. We can keep it on the traditional 24-hour schedule or put it on a 12-hour schedule (which means there will be two nights every day). What do you think? Do you have a preference?
