-- Akiko's Note: We had a pretty huge turnout for the event of roughly ~140-150 people in the sim simultaneously. Minimal lag and an acceptable viewer frame for most people (15-20 FPS). Built-in nearby chat extender to 100m worked seamlessly as well. Akijima is an Event Sim and the flagship of the Akipelago -- my chain of islands :) My thanks to everyone who helped us pull this off and especially to everyone who turned out for Haiku's Grand Debut! Congratulations again Haiku !!! (◕‿◕)
