However for me, NWN will always be <a title=\"Neverwinter Nights\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neverwinter_Nights\" target=\"_blank\">Neverwinter Nights<\/a>, whereas NWN in Second Life terms will always be Hamlet over at New World Notes, unless it&#8217;s a post by Iris Ophelia, in which case it will always be Iris Ophelia\u00a0over at New World Notes. Along the same lines that MOTD will always be Match Of The Day!<\/p>\n<p>Where am I going with this, well Inara Pey of <a title=\"Inara Pey\" href=\"http:\/\/modemworld.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Living In\u00a0A Modemworld fame<\/a>, has been <a title=\"Inara Pey Wins\" href=\"http:\/\/nwn.blogs.com\/nwn\/2012\/11\/inara-pey-second-life-blog-new-world-notes.html\" target=\"_blank\">voted by New World Notes readers as their favourite Second Life related blog<\/a>, excluding New World Notes, which wasn&#8217;t eligible to be voted for.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often thought of Inara Pey as the rich man&#8217;s Ciaran Laval, well written, grammatically on the ball, informative, proof read, but by a girl in girl&#8217;s clothing, unlike myself as an evil drow wizard in evil drow wizard clothing, often mistaken for a girl for some bizarre reason.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had started writing Inara&#8217;s victory speech\u00a0 &#8220;<em>Friends, Romans, Minions, all hail me or I&#8217;ll launch Rocket Ajax<\/em>&#8221; but <a title=\"Inara Pey's Victory Speech\" href=\"http:\/\/modemworld.wordpress.com\/2012\/11\/26\/my-thanks\/\" target=\"_blank\">she went and wrote her own<\/a>! Inara&#8217;s blog is a very worthy read, indeed it&#8217;s my first stop off point when I&#8217;m looking to read other blogs. Other people will have their own favourite blogs and that&#8217;s good, we don&#8217;t want to live, even in a virtual world, where everyone has the same tastes, that would be Stepford Life, rather than Second Life.<\/p>\n<p>I can still recall the first time I met Inara inworld, I&#8217;d been travelling in a fried-out combie, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie. I met a strange lady, she made me nervous, she took me in and gave me breakfast .. oh wait wrong song!<\/p>\n<p>So congratulations to Ms Pey, it&#8217;s good to see some recognition for her blog from readers and that her efforts to keep the Second Life community informed aren&#8217;t in vain. However some will give Inara the bum&#8217;s rush, as they do Hamlet.
