A week doesn't go by where I don't ... http://second-place.org/?p=24 Imperial 83,156,207 - This is truly a beautiful place. Mind you, I took this SLurl from up in a spaceship, so you might want to fly...but it's at such a magnificent vantage point over this gorgeously-huge tree. It has a face...and huge mushrooms to sit on. This ... http://second-place.org/?p=22 Demonic Empire 141,129,25 - Wow, lots of interesting clothes and gear, plenty of it with a sci-fi spin that'll fit in with lots of different environments! http://second-place.org/?p=21 Imperial 97,179,346 - Saw a great big forest in Imperial!
