Welcome to my Hive Virtual home and results of December PUD contest
If you haven't heard about it yet, HiveFest will be held on 18 and 19th this month. The best thing about this is that you don't have to fork out hundreds or thousand of $$ to travel to a country somewhere in the world to attend in person. Not that many people could do so now even if they could afford it anyway. So it's great that this year's event will be online giving many people the opportunity to take part.
I registered my attendance quite early, and created my avatar. As usual, my procrastination meant that I missed out on some pre HiveFest events such as a chance to win part of 3333 Hive prize pot by creating your avatar attendance card, I only did mine (above) last night. Then there were three pre pump events for people to get used to the VR space. The last one was last Sunday. With all good intents and purposes, I was going to attend that one, but life got in the way and I missed it. Bum!!! Not a good start to my VR in 2D journey.
I've been wandering around the AltspaceVR last night by myself, and it takes a bit of getting used to. If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommened you do the quick tutorial when you first log in to get used to the commands. I've mainly been exploring my own home, not sure if everyone's home is the same, but let me show you mine.
My home, or rather rooms, consist of two seperate living rooms. This is the first one. It's one big room with some nice pictures on the wall and a comfy chaise near the front of the room. There are a couple of double doors towards the back of the room but it doesn't open to anywhere. The exit is those blue double doors.
As I exit the front door, I get to the podium. I live in a block of high rise flat as you can see the top of the buildings opposite. I even have a basket ball court, very American I have to add. By the way, it's very safe here, I won't fall over, I tried 😀 otherwise it will be very dangerous because there's a lot of traffic on the ground.
I enter my other living room from the podium, it seems there isn't internal access from one room to the other. This living room is much more swanky. I love the contemporary artwork, the big comfy sofa, real fire fireplace, and the massive TV screen. It will be perfect to invite friends around. If I work out how to do it, you are welcome to pop over.
I haven't found a way to leave my home yet. In the tutorial, there was a Teleport that gave me egress, and I could get to other areas. But when I hit that command button at home, the Teleport half appears but I can't get to it. So far I can only leave my home by hitting the escape button that takes me back to the Altspace home page. I wandered into another event yesterday, someone came up to me and looks like he wanted to shake my hand but I didn't know what to do. It was so weird yet friendly. He left afterwards when I stood there like a noob 😅
If you haven't registered for HiveFest yet you can do so here https://hivefe.st/ but I think the free registration has ended, there's a fee to pay now. And if you have registered, please friend me on Altspace #friendlesslivinguktaiwan. By the way, I'm curios to know if your home looks different? Or do we all live in the same virtual space? Let me know please! If I don't see you beforehand, I'll see you on 18th and 19th at HiveFest.
RESULTS OF DECEMBER HIVE PUD GUESSING CONTEST
And now to the results for the December Hive PUD contest. This month's contest was as follows:
With the end of the year coming up, this month's PUD guessing game will be related to the festive times. This string of hanging word decoration which will go up on my wall soon. What do you think it says (you don't have to guess that, but it helps if you know) and How many sets of duplicate alphabets are there? One set of duplicate alphabet is an alphabet that appears more than once in this string of decoration.
What I actually meant was how many sets of duplicate letters there are not alphabet, but you all figured out what I meant, and thanks to @nickyhavey for clarifying.
This is the decoration hung up on my wall now, and the correct answer is 3 - M, R and S.
Most of you guessed correctly and the two winners who will each win 10 Hive are @sanjeevm and @filotasriza3. Congrats guys, the prize has been sent to you already, and thanks to everyone who entered!!!

Hi @livinguktaiwan,
Thank you for participating in the #teamuk curated tag. We have upvoted your quality content.

All homes look the same. But there is so many different worlds to explore! Those are fun :)
And of course all kinds of different events to participate.
I'll have to brave myself to wander into this events, I panicked a bit when that friendly person came up to me 😅
Hahah I know what you mean :). I didn't know what to do when some strange people started to say Hello.
It takes a little while to get used to it and actually talking. At least for me. Still feels weird, but I guess everyone had to start somewhere.
Yay so fun to see your space. Looking forward to see you in Altspace next week!
Likewise, look forward to seeing you as well Sara, hopefully I will know how to wander around
Well, that's nice. We will meet there and we will say something. 🍺🍻😎
Sure, look forward to meet more people there!!!
Hello @livinguktaiwan… I have chosen your post about “-Welcome to my Hive Virtual home and results of December PUD contest-” for my daily initiative to reblog - vote and comment.
Let's keep working and supporting each other to grow at Hive!...
I even have to set my VR for the hive fest, thank you for the rewards.
I'm just going to be on 2D as the VR set is quite expensive and I'm not going to be using it afterwards. Hopefully it will still be good.
And you're welcome, thanks for joining in the fun
hahaha, I understand you I have missed all the previous events due to lazy, I don't even know where they are announced. I would like to attend some before the hivefest starts, I would love to be able to customize my house.
One day I entered a world of snow and people had torches that I did not know how to light, a disaster.
Then I went to an event where they talked about cryptocurrencies and I tried to say a few words with my bad English and made some friends.
I hope to see you soon for altspace kisses.
I read your post, you're so brave wandering around with strangers. I think I'll feel so weird, silly I know 😄
whenever you want, we get together and explore altspace a bit! kisses, yesterday I saw a very good photographic art gallery
I've registered for the Hive Fest, but have not done anything beyond that. There's setting up the avatar and yeah, getting used to the UI. Hmmm..
The avatar is a bit weird and doesn't have arms....
Thanks for the fun.
I wanted either all or nothing.
Thanks for entering Ace!
You're welcome.
Use VRCHAT too!
is that in Altspace? Need to find that. Can we talk to one another even if I'm on 2d?
