What a wild west weekend!
In recognition of the success of Founders Days, we want to thank all who contributed to its planning, participation, and attendance. We hope that you found enjoyment in the diverse range of activities offered, which included a captivating western theme, an exciting treasure hunt, engaging games, a lively carnival, and stimulating contests.
It definitely has us excited for our next full weekend event coming in October.
We also had a huge announcement during the festivities. We introduced the addition of two new species, Fae and Aquatics. Both have been in the plans to join the Eclipse Ridge repertoire. And don’t think we’ve stopped there. These new arrivals won’t be the last.
We appreciate everyone who provided suggestions, the Mentors that proofed and consulted with us on their development, and everyone who will take up these characters as their own.
Have a fantastic week Eclipse Ridge!

Upcoming Events
Friday Aug. 9th 11am SLT – Ridge Roundup @ The Community Center
Whether you’re new to the Ridge and have questions about storylines, RP, or how to get started—or you’ve been around for a while and just want to meet and greet your fellow RPers in an OOC setting—come to our weekly Ridge Roundup!
This is where ideas, suggestions, and questions about the sim, events, and plots can be aired in a casual, pressure-free setting. This week’s is hosted by mentor Leah Grave (abigail.macalroy).
Friday Aug. 16th – 18th Full Moon Observance
There may not be sturgeon in Emerald Lake, but we assure you, there are other wonders you will want to catch.
Will you be the hunter or the prey?
Celebrate the last full moon of the Summer by letting yourself go a little wild.
Saturday Aug. 17th 6pm SLT – A Star “Studded” Night
Dress in your finest attire, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be dazzled by the company of Eclipse Ridge’s most illustrious residents!
The Bunker is proud to bring you a charity gala affair with a bit of sass! We’ll be hosting a bachelor/bachelorette auction featuring some of the hottest faces in the Ridge. Our fun-loving residents will take the stage and raise your bids and your heart rate–all in the name of our fair city. Winners will share a date with the person on the auction block!
For those who aren’t single or aren’t looking-don’t worry. Dates are not necessarily romantic in nature, but a great way to meet a charismatic new person!
Dress is formal cocktail attire (black tie optional), and all funds will be donated to the Eclipse Ridge Preservation Society!
Champagne and hors d’oeuvres will be served and VIP memberships available upon request. Contact Eleni Vigneron Denimore (eleni.aurelia) to join our roster of auctionees, or to be represented in absentia.

Here are snippets of current stories happening on sim or prompts to help get you dive in. Knowledge of these events are public knowledge so anyone in town could become aware of the following:
On July 30th, Sentinel reporter Aerik Williams published a story “Local Residents Resent Grave Corp Trespassing Prohibition” that elicited various responses.
Grave Corp has remained tight-lipped regarding the allegations of payroll influence within the Sterling County Sheriff’s Office.
In an official statement from the Sheriff’s Office, Undersheriff Alex Hawkins clarified that his previous comments were made as a citizen and did not represent the official position of the SCSO. He reiterated the concerns of the SCSO regarding the safety conditions and recent acts of vandalism in Old Town.
What is the next chapter in this small town drama?
