Hence the huge amount it told you you had won. I.e. each time the pay-out didn't pay out, that money was added to the next pay-out, and so on. Right.... The way it's supposed to work is that they start with $100L and if no one collects, they add another $100L every day until someone wins. It also takes into account how many days you've been logging into the site and gives you $1 for each day. That's why the total was $19,600L plus the $312L for the days I logged in.

Trin, if I explained it in French, then I wouldn't understand it. You're silly. You explained it in English and I didn't get it. I guess I have to watch more episodes of "The Big Bang Theory"... And as for those keys, Maddy...I still need them back. Been locked out of the house for four days now and I think I left the gas on... :matte-motes-sunglasses-3:

Here's the final outcome... Tried to collect up until 40 minutes before the "end of the day" and kept getting the same error message. No effect on my account (although, I thought I got scammed because I forgot my new password when I changed it) and no extra lindens in my pocket. All my lindens and inventory is still in place. Oh well...maybe the owner will come back and we can try again. Thanks for the support...and the concern (or was it ridicule?).

Wow....Just found this thread (Thanks Trinity) and it's amazing how much happens over a few pages... First, I get insulted for being too fat and possibly breaking Hippie's table Then, I find out about some new clothes (which I have to check out..thanks!!!) After that, Trinity wants to leave Phil for me and just as quickly recants....(fickle women....:matte-motes-sunglasses-3:) Finally, I'm engaged in a staring contest with Maddy (when I think it might just have been indigestion...:matte-motes-sunglasses-3:) Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Was a fantastic time and I really hope that I can work my Sunday schedule to show up at another one... HUGS TO ALL!!!

Another view of the same breakfast table.... Judging by the carved out portions in front of Phil and the focused stare, it doesn't look much like he was in the slightest bit shy about showing his appreciation for the melons at the time.

In my defense...people had been collecting from this site as far back as December of last year. My guess is that the people stopped running it and don't know (or don't care) that there's a problem.

So....go back with me.... It's Sunday, November 4th 2012. I find through the forums this website called "Free Linden Lottery". Sounds interesting...put in your name and you have a chance to win $100L. Easy..painless, right? Well...for 311 days, I've been going to this website...putting my name in and hoping for the best. Thinking that I'm never going to win... Today, I sign on....it's my name in there. And it's not $100L, it's $19,600L. WOO HOO! I type my name in...hit "Collect Prize" and...... "Oopsies..something went wrong when claimng your prize". UUUUGGGHHH!!!!!! (Happened to another person a few days ago when I told her that she had won.) So....doing this for two reasons: 1) MAYBE...JUST MAYBE...someone who has something to do with the site would read this and help 2) (the more likely reason) It's a complete scam and people should leave there in droves.... Anyway...just wanted to vent and pass that along... I'll let you know if something changes....

How do you know when to throw out something you love or keep it and use it. With Mesh being out is all other type of clothing look old? Thanks for the tips. We don't call clothes OLD anymore...now it's RETRO...and it's VERY IN!! (and can I POSSIBLY use any MORE CAPITAL LETTERS in this post??? ) :matte-motes-sunglasses-3:

I know this is going to only lead to trouble but..... These are not the posts you're looking for....

RocketMaster wrote: Guys, i'm being accused of doing something stupid by my friends. Supposedly, i changed into a female avvie and asked a user to make me pregnant. Only problem: I didn't do it. They claim i did it on voice chat, too. Some friends, huh? With those guys, i don't need enemies. Anyway, what should i do? How do i prove my innocence? My first question is why do you care? Who are these people that they even have the influence to make you have to prove your innocence? This is SL, you can do (just about) anything you want....people go from male to female to furry more often than some people change their socks. I'm sure you didn't do it, but seriously....why should you care if they think you did? Dump 'em...find new people. Then get pregnant just to spite them....:matte-motes-sunglasses-3:

Making money is not an easy thing in SL. A lot of the jobs require time or effort on your part (whether they be XXX jobs or not) and if you're looking to purchase land or buy new skins or shapes, camping and money trees won't do it. Since you don't have a lot of time on SL, might I suggest putting it to good use? Learn a skill...photography, building, DJing..and put those to work for you. For example: make something and put it on marketplace (or get someone to sell it in their store) or learn how to take new profile pictures for residents. I believe there are classes where you can learn these things. I learned to live pretty well without a lot of lindens when I first started here. I went to a lot of different sims (granted, they were adult sims, but that's what I'm into), played around..got to know people, then eventually made a bit of money in an adult industry. It can be done... Good luck.

dmachad2 wrote: Hi peeps! I've been jumping around for a couple of weeks after a long break and it seems like most of the places and people I knew are not around anymore, or just not the same so I'm looking for fun people who would like to re introduce me to the wonders of SL. I like beaches, exploring, dancing and just generally getting to meet new people. I'm not really into anything in particular but just a broad social game. I'm 29 from USA with a fairly amount of free time and don't really know how to spend it. If you like to meet new people, talk about nothing and dance your boredom away like I do hit me up inworld, even if I'm offline. My only rule is be an adult Welcome back to SL.... The world is constantly changing..this is why some of the places you've been to aren't there anymore. What I would suggest is to check the search function for different groups that share your interests...dancing? music? Find the group, then join it...most are free. Then, send out a group IM or send a private message to the moderator. I'm sure there'll be people there willing to help you along. Good luck....

Don't get you knickers in a twist.... Don't get your panties in a bunch...

(going to combine them...tired of having multiple posts for the same topic) pulling yourself up by your bootstraps hanging up your boots jumping ship

Let me first say that I am sorry you had such a horrible SL experience. It is a shame when you psych yourself up for a great adventure and it comes off badly. You have only been her about a month...it is kind of early to be hanging up your boots (so to speak) and jumping ship. People do post in here looking for friends..have you considered doing that? I know residents have connected that way. If you are insistant on leaving...allow me to make a guess at your lindens. I would donate them to a friend of mine who uses them to assist her in RL. $2000

I was informed yesterday that I have an important RL event that I promised to attend, so the Forum Posters Party scheduled for August 24th is being cancelled. Thanks to all who encouraged me to have this and to Hippie for the supplies. I'll pick another day soon and try again. Wanted to just relay this again in case anyone forgot. Thanks for the support everyone...

Not playing with a full deck... (which, it seems, describes most of this post....:matte-motes-sunglasses-3:)

Cold as a witch's t*t (not that I've ever felt one, of course) :matte-motes-sunglasses-3:

In for a penny, in for a pound... Which is strange that we (or at least I) in the US use it when it's most probably a UK based expression.
