Beautiful Things: The Beanstalk Challenge


While wandering the grid, I came across the Welsh sim, where I found a bounty of wonderful sights, including this Beanstalk! Apparently, Steller Sunshine has created this towering monument to vegetation with the idea to challenge passing residents to climb up to the top, without using scripts or flying. If you make it, Steller will pay you 500L. Of course, one must make an appointment with Steller to issue the challenge, as someone must be present to watch you assay the stalk to make sure you're playing by the rules. Practicing, however, is free. Newbies are always asking me how they can make money; here's a fun and absorbing way to do it!

More photos of the area after the jump!Here's a great ode to Easter Island near the base of the stalk:


This huge tree does double-duty as a hat store:


A nearby lighthouse and vaguely-occultish domicile:


... complete with Unnameable Thing on the doorstep!
