BallerMoMo King, back in the day.

We continue our lead-up to the Herald third birthday party on Wed Thursday the 26th at 2PM, with a stroll down memory lane with some classic screenshots from the Herald archives.
Following are Uri’s choices for the top screenshots in the Herald library (which is to say that not all were taken by Herald photographers). Some are included because of their historical importance, some because of their formal artisitic value, and some because Uri just plain likes them. Below the fold, you will find them in more or less chronological order.

From the website of Evangeline’s Hotel Erotica.

The Sim Sorority House, soon to the the Sim Shadow Government, interserts an agent into the Hotel Erotica by having her interview for a job as a cyber-ho. Here she passes the interview with flying colors.

Dyerbrook, now Prokofy Neva, delivers a lamp to an SSG property “to disperse the shadows.”

Mr-President of the Alphaville Government framed for groping innocent Gina, in reality a Mafia grrrl with close ties to JC Soprano. She would later enter SL and become involved with One Song, BallerMoMo King’s gang, Reno Blaze’s gang and… well you get it. Oh yeah, she also reported for Herald.

Jeff Linden is called in to mediate a dispute when land baron One Song and Tank Levy use strong-arm tactics to push people of off some coveted property.

One Song enters the city and hurls invectives at the residents.

Tank Levy in despair after his partnership with One Song crumbles.

One Song torches the WWIIOLers’ Headquarters in Jessie (a scale model of the Reichstag) and raises his Associates corporate flag.

While the Reichstag burns in the background, One Song unveils his sim-to-sim “nuke”, capable of taking sims offline. One is subsequently purchased by BallerMoMo and used against Reno Blaze with unintended consequences. Six adjoining sims crash with Reno’s.

A techsol engineer from Jessie takes One Song’s home simulator offline with his invisible, physical, hollow, twisted, cut, advanced cut torii.

BalerMoMo in his crib.

And if all that wasn’t enough…
