    Oh my goodness I love your boat! Might I ask who made it or where I can find it?

    It was from Rainy Fey Creations - it's called "RFC - Fae Boat (RFL)" and the ad picture that came with it says that it was a RFL exclusive.  It looks like I got it (or at least I unpacked it) in early May 2020, so most likely it was from the 2020 Fantasy Faire.

    One thing I was going to try is see if I can get a ring floaty from another theme and paddle it all the way to my house. It should be possible. Might be a thing for late evening after I get the rest set up.

    You should be able to!

    I was able to float in a leaf boat through the waterways all the way from Rigamarole to the region where my house is.  (just be careful of the rolling waves in the misty region of the passage - a couple caught me and jostled me around, though didn't capsize me fortunately)

    Have I missed a post about only having 4 house styles to choose?  I am hoping for the versions with fewer walls, but only have the "brookes" available.  I've tried resetting the house controller.

    In Patch's post, he said only 4 were available so far, and the fewer walls versions would be coming shortly.  I'm assuming they will show up in the mailbox selection once they are available. (?)

  4. I missed the initial limited release, too - but kept the land page up and gave it a poke now and then.  Got lucky with a poke while cooking dinner and got a house in Anagonye (yay!) but had to wait until after dinner to log in-world and check it out.  It's not directly on a waterway, but can access a waterway across the street, so I'm happy with that :)

    After a quick TP to look at the house, I decided to come in properly from Rigamarole.  KUDO's to the Mole(s) or Linden(s)  who did the Dannielles region - that was AWESOME coming through on a little boat.

    I got caught a couple of times by the rolling waves and got knocked around a bit from it.  Once I reached the house regions, I was able to sail all the way through the waterways up to a little clearing close to my house.   Couldn't be happier :)

  5. That looks like the default system hair inside the "brow" or "bald" base (also known as "eyebrows" shape or something similar to that).  In the inventory, it's the item with the icon that is a side profile of a head.  

    You can search in inventory for "bald" to see if you can find other ones to try - there are quite a few in the system avatar section of the library, and they also often come in folders with mesh heads. 

    You can also edit it when it's being worn, if it's modifiable - find the one that you are wearing in the inventory list, right click on it and select "edit".  Once the edit window opens you could try changing the texture to a fully transparent texture (there is a default transparent texture in the library at the bottom of your inventory), or you could try messing around with some of the sliders that might affect hair length. 

    I've generally just looked for one in inventory that didn't have anything visible inside, rather than trying to edit the problematic one being worn, but I have seen others talk about editing it.

    What is the definition of liabilities in this case?

    Generally, things like the charge to have the parcel appear in Search.

    my group needs to have enough (credits?) for the land.

    This message probably refers to whether or not the group has enough tier donated to it to cover the size of the parcel.  Those donations are done on the Group -> Land/Assets tab. 

  7. The group itself doesn't pay the monthly land tier - it is the account(s) that donate tier to the group which are charged monthly tier, and their monthly charge is the total of the individual account's land holdings, including tier they have donated to groups.   An account may parcel(s) that they own individually, and the account may also have tier donated to one for more land groups - their monthly charge is the tier level for the total of tier they use and/or donate.  

  8. For a private estate, with a landscaped parcel, that sounds normal to me.  Often that is mentioned in the covenant.  When purchasing from an estate, always be sure to read through the covenant first, to make sure that you will be OK with any terms and conditions by the estate about what you can or cannot do with the parcel. 

    I also take a look at the About Land and check the LI figures there. If I saw a sizable amount of LI already being used, and the covenant did not mention whether or not that counted against MY available LI, I would ask the Estate manager for clarification before completing the purchase.

    go to mermaid retreat 

    I've seen this response several times on various work wanted posts.  Just curious as to what types of jobs Mermaid Retreat has available, and is there a SLURL for it and/or a website where people could find out more information about the location/venue?

  10. Has the person very recently changed their name?  If so, it might take a little bit before the name change is available throughout the entire system. That's the only think I can think of that might cause an temporary issue.

    from the panel on the wall inside the boat? I dont see a orb there.

    The security orb is in the life preserver where you change the type of houseboat - it's one of the options on the menu there.

    A non-continent. You can't see other regions. You can't walk to other regions. You can't hear other regions. There are landlords who will rent you parcels in areas like this. If you want total isolation, SL offers it. Mainland is for people who want neighbors.

    Mainland is also for people who want to rent directly from Linden Lab, paying monthly tier payments direct to LL rather than having to pay a rental box in-world or divulge a PayPal name to an SL landlord (for those estates which allow monthly payments via PayPal).  

    'Wanting neighbors' also doesn't automatically translate to mean no security orbs or no ban lines.

    Oh wow - thanks @MoondustMaiaBut I do need to know...where is that harp from and can you play music on it? I’ve always wanted to play the harp. 

    The harp I have is from Port Royal Designs.  It comes with 2 classical pieces that can be played.  I think I got it a Ren. Faire booth the first summer I was here, back in 2014, but it also is on MP (with a link to see it inworld as well).. 

    It is a higher LI than the one recommended above, but I do like all the detail on the one I have, and it holds up well even with a moderate LOD setting.  I would check both out and see which one suits your needs best :)

  14. After abandoning my original trailer several weeks ago because I just couldn't get it decorated in a way I liked, I decided to give it another try and after several days of trying to get another one, I lucked out and got one in a location I really like.  I went a different direction with the décor this time, and everything came together much better.  It's not a magazine spread décor - I've never been able to put together that type of look either RL or SL, but it's a comfortable, relaxed feel décor.

  15. I am somewhat patiently waiting for a chance to get one of the campers.  I'm kind of glad that there isn't constant hype about them here.  I'd just like it to remain low-key until after their initial release so that I might have a  better chance of getting one.

  16. The problem I see with something like a lottery or a sign-up list is that we would need one for each theme of homes.  I do not want a traditional home, nor do I want a house boat.  I think there are also going to be at least 3 other themes coming in the future.

    However, if there is only one lottery or one sign-up list, how would I indicate I don't want a traditional home or a houseboat?  I think it would be a waste of time if I wasn't on a list or in a lottery group for a specific theme.   

    I may want a camper, but after reading various threads here, I've pretty much decided to just wait for awhile - to see what other themes may be coming out in the future and to wait until a time where everyone is not using auto-refresh and houses are available for longer than a few minutes when they are released.

    In the big picture, getting a new LH right this minute is not that important.  I've survived for over 5 years in SL without having one of the new ones :)  I think I can last another six months or even a year.  I'm fairly certain the new homes will still be around, and I'm expecting that there will be even more wonderful themes to choose from at that point in the future. 

    I gave up my old LH last April, in preparation for the new homes, but I'm currently using my housing perk on a mainland parcel, so I'm still making use of the premium land perk.

    Good luck to those that are playing the refresh game, but it makes no sense to me to put myself into that kind of stressful situation for a virtual home.  I'd rather be spending time inworld relaxing and enjoying my time online.

    not everything is down to Linden always.  Earlier up in this thread a person who lives nearby said they had mentioned the matter to the resident concerned. And the resident maybe went oh! yeah and removed it themselves. Often more can be accomplished by chatting to the person rather than immediately reaching for the AR guns

    I agree that especially now in the beginning of the community, care is taken to address concerns personally (and politely) before just sending of an AR.  An AR should be more of a last ditch effort if all other communication about the issue failed.  At least, that is how I see it, and how I would want to be treated if someone thought something I had done was not in theme.

    And even many years after they came out there were still certain styles for Tahoe and Meadowbrook that one had to sometimes play refresh roulette to get. That is one thing I do like a lot about the new homes, the fact that all styles for each theme are available on the lots in their respective areas.

    Even this past week, as I've been on the 'get your home' page a lot, the Meadowbrook Grayson style has been out of availability about half the time.
