A New Ginko Nation

Posted by Simon Lameth on January 14, 2006

The large map that sits to the north of the Ginko Building displays the plans for future expansion of the Ginko Sims, dubbed "Nation -Of- Ginko" by Ginko Technoligies owner, Hinoserm Rebus. MAP: Second Life Times and Ginko Tec.

If you thought that 4 sims were enough for Ginko, think again.

The company plans on adding at least 6 new sims. Some will be named Ginko Point, Ginko Hill, and Old Ginko City. Current plans also show that multiple empty sims will be available for rental, and a new combat sim will be available for use. (By the way, a Sim is another name for land mass).

Ginko Tec employee Casey Benton told us the first sim to be added will be Ginko Hill, just to the north of her sim, Pumacity.

"All I know is that there are plans for adding some sims (per the model) and the first one will be going in north of here. I'm working on rearranging some things to accomodate." says Benton.

Ginko Hill will feature an Luxury apartment building, and there are plans for an observetory. Other new sims like Ginko Point will feature a apartment building, a cruse ship thing, and all that you can expect in a Ginko sim.

Cybersim Corporation Closing

Posted by Simon Lameth on January 3, 2006

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

“Cybersim Corporation” will close January 3rd at 5:59 PM SL Time (A.K.A. Pacific Standard Time). The reason being we no longer have the staff or funds to stay open. Nor do we have facilities in Second Life to have our offices at. Also, after leaving The Sims Online our website lost focus. It wasn’t quite a news site or Second Life site. Cybersim Corp and its website will be on the auction block in Second Life pending any sale to another company. Starting price will be L$500. The auction will begin within the next few weeks if no companies want it.

Also, Effective immediately, to handle our web log “The Second Life Times” and some ideas I have that relate to it, I am creating a new company focused on publishing the Times and the ideas called “Times Publishing Online”. “Times Publishing Online” will be funded with funds from advertising along with shares that will be purchased by investors. (More details on investing will come within the next few weeks) “Times Publishing Online” will officially open for business January 3rd at 6:01 PM Second Life Time.

Please watch http://sltimes.blogspot.com for a link to Times Publishing Online website.

Sincerely,
Simon Lameth
Cybersim Corporation CEO/President
Times Publishing Online CEO/President
