It was in March 2009. Black Cat Narrows was a half-full sim region owned by a friend of mine who built yachts in Second Life. Back then, just before the mesh era began, the art of creating realistic objects from ordinary prims was reaching its peak. It was a residential area on a standalone sim where role-playing activities were allowed with some, but not overly strict, restrictions. Nearby was a plot where my friend Tolarusin Paine had established a headquarters for his Red Fury group in the Cularin System-Tilnes Moon-Red Fury. I believe it was there that we first encountered Obsidian Dominion and its powerful leader, Sliver Bonetto, and also where the activities of the Jedi from Javin IV on Lehon reached their zenith. I'm referring to the RP "Shrine of Blood" that I described on this page of this website.
There we built our famous castle, which was never conquered by enemies, and where we set up a secret room for shrine RP. There was also a medbay, a council chamber on the top floor, hall of ranks, recreation area, small orbital station and even a hidden hangar for patrol ships, which we also used successfully. The meditation area, with a massive Sith obelisk erected by Darth Viso, was also present.
It also served as a venue for unhindered RP combat. Battle droids were stationed on the tower and reliably defended it when we were offline. I think it was the best place for newcomers to start, as everything was offered in one location: RP and training with FCRS in our arena, which was also nearby, across the river from the castle. Draco Roux, our well-known medic and role-player, is making a uniform free of charge for all our members, which can be seen in one of the pictures. In short, the sim was very compact and functional for many different activities. I try to maintain the same model in my current Lehon simulation to this day.
In our arena, I also set up a Lehon cage, which was already present on our first sim but wasn't used very often. There's an interesting story to tell about this cage. One day, a dark Jedi appeared on Lehon; his name, as far as I remember, was Starscream Hax. Listen to what he said for a while:
[18:01] Starscream Hax: I am disipointed
[18:01] Businka Koskinen: about?
[18:01] Starscream Hax: You have not sent your two dogs to come kill me
[18:01] Businka Koskinen: hahahaha
[18:01] Businka Koskinen: we are generous opponent haxi:)))
[18:02] Starscream Hax: well don;t be
[18:02] Starscream Hax: lol
[18:02] Businka Koskinen: we need to be respectful, sith are not so you think:)
[18:03] Starscream Hax: I am selfish
[18:03] Starscream Hax: i want what i want
[18:03] Businka Koskinen: selfish, what is it?
[18:03] Starscream Hax: ME ME ME
[18:04] Starscream Hax: only think about self
[18:04] Businka Koskinen: ahhhhh:)))
[18:04] Businka Koskinen: i see
[18:04] Starscream Hax: I am dark jedi
[18:04] Starscream Hax: i have no loyalties
[18:05] Starscream Hax: I have no code to live bye but my own code
[18:05] Starscream Hax: I am lone wolf
[18:05] Businka Koskinen: very well, sith become sith thanks dark jedi, so you are near dark side too i guess:)
[18:06] Starscream Hax: yes very much so
[18:06] Starscream Hax: and you in my way
[18:06] Businka Koskinen: :)
[18:06] Starscream Hax: lol
[18:07] Starscream Hax: i sence your weakness already
[18:08] Starscream Hax: i will rule the dark side some day
[18:08] Starscream Hax: winks
[18:08] Businka Koskinen: nice
A nice speech… Afterwards, he challenged our group leader Dacosta, and she was slightly injured in the process. After I invited him to Lehon's cage:
[18:34] Businka Koskinen: jump when redy
[18:34] Radar Dagger Ring: [Starscream Hax @ 3M] [ced141159212 Agnomen @ 25M] [Deo Manga @ 26M] [NPC2 Biler @ 73M] [NPC3 Kass @ 73M] [NPC1 Axel @ 73M] [Ash Warbaum @ 94M]
[18:34] MW ~ Dark Avenger RX V1.3: Ready to destroy
[18:36] Force Combat Roleplaying System 2.9: Starscream Hax collapsed from exhaustion.
[18:36] Force Combat Roleplaying System 2.9: Starscream Hax collapsed from exhaustion.
[18:36] Force Combat Roleplaying System 2.9: Starscream Hax has fallen unconscious.
[18:36] Businka Koskinen: * bows *
[18:36] Businka Koskinen: * Good Fight *
[18:36] Businka Koskinen: * yoi tatakai *
It wasn't just the audience's applause for me personally, but also an opportunity to avenge my friend and the group's leader. I later heard that he was related to the KOJ GM, Luvbutton Moonsoo, who had also previously been defeated by Dacosta on Yavin IV. Therefore, I can understand why he came, and yes, it was a good fight in every respect. Honestly, I think it would be a great idea if he could become the ruler of the dark side of SWRP in SL. You can still find them active. Star is a creator and makes some videos in SL, and Luv looks stunning as a model now. Yavin IV is still in her picks.
