ORGANIZED CHAOS
by Snoots Dwagon, SFC18 Mascot
This will be the closing page in my convention series of things to see at Sci-Fi Con 18 (2026)… not because there isn’t more to see, but because this series should be enough to peak curiosity to the point you can visit the rest yourself.
We just today finished setting up a system called FOLLOW da SNOOTS… a series of direction signs designed to help you explore the entire event and miss nothing, without getting lost. We got a number of comments regarding regions that were difficult to follow, contained numerous intersections, and attendees getting totally lost and thus concerned that they were missing out on some fun things. We listened, and set up a series of guideposts that will carry you through the whole convention. So you can see it all for yourself, first hand.
CLUBTOPIA is one of the most unique businesses I’ve seen on SL. This is a fully-loaded, six-barrel shotgun of a club concept. Owned by Akrabu.Kling, CLUBTOPIA is basically a support package that helps club owners attract not just members, but active, purposeful, involved members.
The first thing you should do is visit the LOCATION at Sci-Fi Con and accept the notecard that is offered when you arrive. It’s lengthy but fully explains the concept of the system. Reading that notecard will tell you more than I have space and time to put here.
The best I can do here is to allow Akrabu himself to explain it. Here is an excerpt from the interview I had with him:
Akrabu: Basically, Clubtopia turns a club into a playable experience. People can dance, hang out, host, bartend, perform, or play in the band, and the system rewards them with XP. That XP converts into Linden Dollars, so visitors are earning while they participate.
There are also bonuses, levels, and leaderboards, which gives people a reason to stay active and try different parts of the club. So for players it’s fun and rewarding, and for club owners it helps bring traffic and keep people engaged.
Snoots Dwagon: So they do what… buy a package to set up a club and that includes everything they need?
Akrabu: Yes. A club owner buys or starts with a Clubtopia package, sets it up at their venue, and it gives them the core system to run Clubtopia — the controller, activity modules, XP tracking, rewards, leaderboards, and ATM cash-out for players.
The owner funds their own system, so their club has its own reward pool. Then players earn XP and L$ by participating at that venue. There are different package levels and add-ons depending on how much the owner wants to do.

Snoots: So they build their own club setting and add your modules… or do you provide club settings?
Akrabu: The system is set and comes with the base modules. All they have to do is fund it. The Band is the only current addon. This goes on any build they have as it’s just the controllers and all the individual dance pads that are copiable and they step them up how they like. No building. The club owner builds his own building, yes.
Snoots: Great idea you have here,. Looks very popular.
Akrabu did a great job designing his “club” at Sci-Fi Con. I encourage attendees to drop by and check it out. As he stated, he doesn’t provide buildings, tables, chairs, equipment and the likes. What CLUBTOPIA offers is the system that makes people want to come back and play. It doesn’t take over the club owner’s job; it provides the tools to make that job interesting.
