REPRESENTATIVES OF MANY LANDS MEET IN SANDS OF TIME!
The lovely and elegant Queen Dara Khsan ibn Trrrol led the Kalahari Kingdom delegation to a summit meeting of some of the leading lands in all the world. Accompanied by Minister Afraa al Abid, the Queen impressed the heads of state (sim) who attended, and also learned a great deal of value that will lead to further cooperation and growth among all the attendees.

Now, you may ask: "Such an important delegation--surely King Hassan ibn Trrrol must have led the Kalahari group to the beautiful Sands of Time, Majik AL Dinn, and its charming leader ATOSSA! Do not fear Kalaharians: Queen Dara was more than qualified to lead in an intelligent and mature fashion.
As to her husband, the rumor is that King Hassan missed the meeting of the Royals to make a detailed investigation of a new invention that might benefit Kalahari. Known as the "Shibari Frame," this device will undoubtedly aid the King in many of the scientific experiments he likes to conduct, especially those dealing with gravity and the human anatomy. The King will surely share his scientific findings with the citizens of Kalahari, with the aid of many naked errr "experimental subjects."

THE MEETING OF THE ROYALS
A group of distinguished leaders, united in diversity, varied in excellence, desiring to share what they have, and to learn what they do not yet know, met in the magnificent land known as the Sands of Time, hosted by the marvelous ATOSSA, whose land includes not just a glorious Palace, but also the Majilis Ocean, and the ARABESQUE CAFE.

ATOSSA'S interests include the use of the Maya HUD, integrated systems of economy and monetary exchange, exchange programs, Mermaids and other valuable contributions.. She generously offered to host events such as Combat and Chariot Races at her large and impressive sim.
ATOSSA brought along her trusted adviser, Ixkeem, whose manly advice added to the impressive presentation.

The creative mastermind of the Lost Jungle of the Maya, long-time friend and ally of Kalahari Lexia Moonstone, had called for the meeting because her wide experience in traveling, and sharp eyes, helped her to see that there were some lands that shared common goals and activities, that might be helped by a union, an alliance of nations.

Lexi brought along her close associate, the lovely Nowhereg1rl:

who joined with her to explain fully the interests of Maya Land, and the enormous array of benefits that an alliance with them would develop. Their varied interests include the renowned Maya HUD, trading, Mer activities, Hunts, Maya Ball, Pirates, and sharing travel and cultural events.
The final members of the assembly were the alluring pair of Panther Girls,
Zara and Irene Zarene:

These Panthers, leaders of the Sha Mo`E Panther Tribe" and the "Sha`Zarene Farm" ( G&S farming) had Minister Afraa on her best behavior, fearful that she might be kidnapped by Panther Girls as she had once been by Pirates.

But both of the Zarene girls showed themselves to be serious Farmer-Merchants, as well as Warriors. They were interested in using the Maya HUD for combat, while they found the G&S meter very comfortable for their trading needs.
For its part the Kalahari representatives spoke of much mentioned above, and also mentioned the Kalahari Tavern, the Garden of 1001 Pleasures, the Bath House, the Market, and the Farm and Mine that produce so much of our wealth.

The assembly participants quickly grew to respect and understand their esteemed colleagues, and the meeting proceeded with great insight, and bold sharing of ideas. Perhaps the following stand out as key issues for future development:
1. The use of HUDS: Maya HUD for Combat? G&S HUD for trade?

2. Events that might be organized together, or unique events that particular lands offer as unique and valuable gifts.
Such might include, but are not limited to, Combat Games, Various Tournaments, Mer Celebrations, Slave Hunts, Animal Hunts, Chariot Races, Maya Ball and Slave Ball, Canoe Races, Slave Races, Wrestling, Slave Auctions, Gambling, Games of Skill such as Parcheesi, and so on.

Other events would have a broader scope, such as an "Olympic Festival," which might be comprised of Artistic Events such as Dance, Music Concerts, Culinary Celebrations, Storytelling, Days of the Dead, Eid-al-Fitr or other religious or cultural events such as Weddings or Coronations, special holidays which might lead to celebrations (such as OOC Halloween, Valentine, or Christmas Festivities.as well as the contests of skill and courage mentioned above) were deemed very valuable.

3. What institutions, such as Markets and Banks, should we develop to encourage cooperation and role play, as well as means of communication and transportation, such as Events Boards in each land, and TP Portals as well.
The Kalahari Chronicles (http://mykalahariblogaddress.blogspot.com), and the videos of ATOSSA were also mentioned prominently. (Video Links can be found at the bottom of this issue.)
All in all, the meeting was a great triumph of peace and understanding, with active RP across sims, and shared events seen as very desirable goals.
The brilliant and talented Lexi promised to work on the Maya HUD to see if it could become the HUD of choice across the sims, and also promised to try to address the problems of lag and avi limits which our regions face.
And Minister Afraa al Abid, in a gesture of enormous generosity, volunteered to taste food, especially sweets, produced in every region!
