Cinemassively: The Orange Island 100
Filed under: Video, Second Life, Free-to-play, Cinemassively, Machinima
If you've never been to a popular Second Life event, you wouldn't have experienced the pain of a packed sim. The number of avatars in a single sim usually gets to around 70 or 80 before people start crying of lag, ruths, and missing images. However, those wacky Metaversatility kids took to Orange Island in an attempt to set a record for most avatars in a single snapshot.
Jade Lily was shooting for 100 -- and it wasn't easy. As documented by Daneel Ariantho and Natty Foggarty in pictures, and Osprey Therian in this video, people wouldn't rez properly, floated away, and lost connection. After many minutes, they were able to reach their goal, but it took about two hours without SL before this blogger's computer felt right again!
If you have machinima or movie suggestions from any MMO, please send them to machinima AT massively DOT com, along with any information you might have about them. Please note that due to the high volume of Second Life submissions, we would prefer submissions from other platforms.

Hey moo, thanks for the great write-up of Os's video! I just wanted to make sure it's clear that this was an Orange Island event, not a Metaversatility event. We, of course, are part of the team that manages the community along with French consultancy Extralab (http://www.extralab.fr) and a dedicated team of Orange community managers (http://www.orange-island.com)
This was a super fun event and I just want to make sure that everyone who helped set it up is mentioned!

Another video of the Orange 100 festivities... plus a fun, but failed attempt the next day by GremLindens to beat the Orange record. (This is the one with Doubledown's tune providing soundtrack)

I actually saw this video and didn't like it. You're welcome to comment here about it, but I chose not to feature it.
