Alliance blockade continued

The Alliance announced the continuation of the blockade agianst Hale's Moon.
"We will check every incoming vessel which is getting near our patrols, to check them for weapons, contrabands and wanted criminals" commented Commodore Geoffry Miles, I.A.V. Scharnebeck.

As asked for the strength and with of the operation, he continued:
"The Allied Forces will, as allways, not comment details of a running operation, to save the serving man and woman in the field" and continued "But you can bet that we do everything to literally shut down Hale's Moon"

Further questions about, if there where troops allready send to the surface of Hale's Moon have been noticed with "No comment"

At this time there where not fully confirmed sightings of Alliance Forces near the colony of Hale's Moon. Asking local Captain Aeon Voom he replied:
"If they really want to get Hale's Moon, then only over my dead corpse!" he continued: "This is my home and i like it the way things are going here, we where allways below the radar and now out of a sudden, they want to clean up here? No way!"

The Hale's Moon Herald will as allways keep an eye one the developement of the situation for you.

Hale's Moon Townhall gets back to life

The townhall of Hale's Moon colony was allways known as a symbol of decay. As the alliance bureaucracy failed to etablish something like order on this little moon, the townhall went down as well. Cracked windows and dirt where silent witnesses of this time.

But now a unknown organisation from outside rented this building and almost over night the townhall got new windows and the dirt is gone. Who will be our new neighbour on this dirty old moon? Do they know that only the law of the strong is counting here? Are there aware that there ain't no fancy sheriff to save their asses if everything goes down?

As most organisations from outside came, saw and left, finding this moon not suitable for their business, we will see if this counts to our new neighbour.

Hales Moon opening canceled

There will be no fancy IC description for this here. I need to cancel the grand opening of Hales Moon because of different reasons.

1. Sl is bugging around like hell for me. I am expiriencing hard crashes (sometimes with frozen screen)all the time since the new viewer and havok are released. This hinders me in do some last fixes in the sima dn preperations for the opening celebration. As you can understand i am more then pissed about what is going on with SL right now.

2. I'm afraid to say that my RL-situation changed alot in the last week as my Boss decided to give me a employment with more responsiblity..and work ofcourse. This limits my time i have for Hale's Moon. In fact that makes some changes necessary. But more on that topic below.

3. There used to be several DJs announced for that event but more and more of em decided to change their mind or had to cancel their sets out of several reasons.


I dont know when we will celebrate the grand opening. This really depends on how SL developes and on some other factors. I am still searching for a Gamemaster who is living in the american timezone to get things going here.
We still got a lot of jobs open here. In fact everything is set up and just needs to be worked with. Same counts for the RP. It only will start when people are there to fill it with life. No People, no RP. Its as easy as that.

As you can read most of the stuff above isnt really in my Hands. Its in yours. So if you want to have Hale's Moon as a working Firefly Sim, you are needed. I am here as often as i can anyway.

OOC Announcement

As i am just a humble Euro-Browncoat living by eurotimes (GMT+1). I'm mostly not around when the majority of the FF-community logs in.
I would love to bring more action and more storylines to you all but as you can imagine i need help for that. I'll need a second-in-command-gamemaster in the american timezone who is supporting me and will help as a sim-admin as well.
So if you have enough expirience in roleplaying mechanisms, considering yourself a neutral person , as well as a firefly-fan and if you have the "balls" to even take not liked actions at times. Well, then maybe you're the right person and should IM me inworld.

Traditional Spring Shindig at Hale's Moon

Every year Hale's Moon celebrates a spring shindig. As there is no real spring, summer nor winter on Hale's Moon, this festival is meant as a celebration to life. Intentionally it was created by the first mining colonists due of the rough envoirement of Hale's Moon. Its a festival to yell out: "Yes, I am living on Hale's Moon and I'm still alive".

Part of the annually celebration is the placing of laterns flowers and plants all over the place. Guests from all over the known 'verse are welcome and there is a strict code of peace for the duration of the festival.

Allthough some are aware of the Alliance blockade, this festival will be hold on the 19th of april. There will be big dancing, contests and entertainment. Beginning will be 1 p.m. SLT till the last one hits the floor (open end).

The management of the Fook Yoo's restaurant bar & club announced that there will be a shortage in beer, wine and general liqours due of the Alliance blockade. Furthermore, they announced that they will pay well for drinks brought through the blockade.

OOC: Yep, finally we will celebrate our official opening. For the duration of the shindig we will turn off the autoreturn and everybody will be able to place its flowers and/or laterns as a sign of peace and life.
This Festival will be hold IC as well as OOC. As always, we let you decide if you want to be in character or not.
