Kistrel's Spotlight: Fishing Competition Elina Tigerauge

 

Hello there and thanks for coming back for this weeks Fisher Spotlight!

My next Spotlight is no stranger to gracing the podium on a regular basis and is definitely considered LGH fishing royalty!   With an overall rank of 3 and over 26 MILLION in XP,  if she isn't one of the Queen's of Fish Hunt then she is surely a Princess... and looks like one as well!

Now this type of XP isn't achieved overnight so she has definitely been an active fisher for some time now and we are lucky she agreed to allow us to pick her brain a bit and get to know her better.  
 
Today I have the privilege of introducing to you the always charming and lovely, Elina Tigerauge. 

Firstly, II would like to thank Elina for taking the time to have a chat with me and share some of her journey within LGH and maybe even a tip or two along the way!

Q:  So Elina, would you care to share any of your Second Life journey including how and when you found Fish Hunt with us?

A: I started SL a long time ago, 09/15/2010,  I was a shopper in my early sl years and enjoyed participating in the hunts as well as going to the clubs.  I heard about fishing through friends and that's how I got started.  
The beginners rod i took through a buoy that was on Tue, Sept 10 2013.

Q:Elina  with so many fishing successes over the years, would you mind sharing what you think are the most memorable and why these stand out?

A: For me, the most special fishing success was the first time I won the Royal and the Championship. After a period of hard fishing and then to be able to stand on the podium as a result are still the nice successes that stand out for me.

Q:  Overall,, how many hours would you guess you have fished over the years and do you have any other activities you enjoy doing in Second Life...time permitting that is!

A: Have fished a lot of hours,  These times I fish a little less because housekeeping, laundry, shopping, cooking etc. so now I fish about 5 or 6 hours with breaks in between.

Q: What rod and worms do you regularly use and does this vary by event?  Do you utilise potions/shubbies etc?

A:  I fish with a Dragon Rod C2 LE.  I bought several rods over the years; Magic Fishing rod, Shark Rod, Competitor Rod and would still like to purchase the Elemental rod for the collection :)
I fish mostly with tasty worms and with events the exchange worms, and the potions from the shubbie

Q: What are your favourite fishing locations and why?

A: I don't have any favorites fishing locations,  I fish overall, I don't like multi buoys so you won't see me there much.


Q: What advice would you give to new fishers who are just starting out in their LGH journey?

A:  Don't give up quickly, in the beginning it's slow but if you fish every day you get better.
And you also start to like it more, you're going to meet a lot of people at the buoys. I still enjoy it every day for 11 or 12 years, and it's a hobby and relaxing for me.

I would like to thank Elina for taking the time to chat with me and share some of her LGH and SL journey with us.

So again we have words of wisdom and insight from one of our most accomplished and long-standing fishers!  
Currently holding the top spot in the Fish Hunt Championship, you can guarantee that you will find Elina fishing the red buoys as she vies to maintain her ranking and claim another championship victory come June!  

Whether your goal is to be a competitive fisher like Elina, to earn some extra lindens or meet new fisher friends, we hope we can provide some little nuggets of information to help you with your journey along the way.

Thank you again for stopping by and we hope to see you next week.  Now go....go fish!!

A Network State - What we in Second Life call The 1st Great Digital Republic

  A "network state" is a concept developed by Balaji Srinivasan, an entrepreneur and investor, which refers to a new kind of society or nation that is organized primarily through digital means rather than traditional geographic borders. The idea is outlined in his book, The Network State: How to Start a New Country . Key Features of a Network State: Digital First : Unlike traditional nation-states, which are defined by physical borders, a network state is primarily digital. It begins as an online community that gradually builds up influence, resources, and recognition. Shared Values and Goals : A network state is formed around a common vision or shared values among its members. This could be anything from specific political ideals to cultural or technological goals. The community's cohesion is based on these shared principles. Physical Presence : While the network state starts digitally, over time, it may establish a physical presence in the form of land or real estate th...

Kistrel's Spotlight: Loverly

  Hey there and omg, it has been a hot minute! I am so glad you have stopped by because I have truly missed you!!  I have fresh squeezed lemonade and homemade brownies baked especially for your visit and if that doesn't show how much i missed you, I don't know what will! So enough of my ramblings and on with the next spotlight! My next Spotlight is no stranger to securing a spot on the podium and that is just one of the many hats they wear,  I have had the pleasure of getting to know this individual more over the past month or so and while she is an absolute nutter (meant in the best way possible!) she is always so helpful, polite and someone we all adore and "love". To say she is non-stop from the moment she logs in is an understatement and she is honestly a multi-tasking guru and still maintains a top competitor status; in addition to the crafting, keeping us in line in chat,bthe endless messages she receives directly. and the list goes on......and on. So it is my p...
