  1. I would suggest keeping an eye on the page in the minutes and even hours following a release, especially if the region released was one with houseboats. One because of possible abandons, and two because after a release there will always be people who stop watching (the release is done! nothing to watch out for!) and therefore if something comes up, there might be less competition for it. It's not a guarantee, though. That applies to both traditional homes and houseboats, except that it's even more true of houseboats: since there are less of them, they are harder to get. Unfortunately.
  2. And another traditional just now (13:18/19 SLT). Maybe it's a blip, but it seems like more abandons are happening, compared with - say - a month ago. Maybe. Then again, maybe it's just a fluke...
  3. And watch some of the loudest complaining voices complain even louder, as they realise they are now waaaaayyyyyyyyyy back in the queue, somewhere over the far horizon.
  4. Well, then, maybe your friends might consider applying to become Moles. (I think I saw a permanent link for the application process somewhere...I can try and find it again if you're interested.) Maybe they'll find themselves hired (maybe there is already a budget for it in place), and that means a greater pool of builders, which is presumably a good thing, as far as the region building process goes.
  5. it used to be the Moles working area (maybe still is for all I know) before they started working on Bellisseria itself. It's the Bellisseria of summers past! I wonder if there are plans for it....
  6. And another one (traditional) 4:25 am SLT. I've said it before, but I wish we could pre-agree to the terms and conditions. sighs Same house as @RaeLeeH saw I guess..😊
  7. 0:22 am slt - traditional home sighted... and one at 0.32 am slt - maybe the same one sent back to the pool?
  8. That's not really a question, though. More like a trap. It only Iooks like a question.
  9. @RaeLeeH is the Chosen One. Sleep? Bah! Who needs sleep? Mmmm, I think we need a back up plan... 😊
  10. Tell me about it... πŸ˜„ But that's how it is.... And it's either that or not using auto refresh and refreshing manually at random times and being lucky enough to refresh at exactly the right time. It does work for some. but I don't fancy my chances with that...
  11. It's very hit and miss.... And mostly miss, I think. I've seen zero houses/ boats today, though I did see several yesterday (the ones @RaeLeeH and @iBrat also saw) - so I've no idea what's happening. I'm on a 65 seconds refresh, though I doubt it makes that much of a difference. Oh well.
  12. me too - 10:42am SLT - might be the one @iBrat saw being sent back into the pool....?
  13. What @Shield Markus says. They go in seconds, though, and the time they are released is never known (and never the same). So it's perfectly possible to never see any, unless you're very lucky or use an auto-refresh extension in your browser. Or both...
  14. 9:50am SLT - houseboat spotted Does anybody know what region is likely to be released today? Does it have boats?
  15. Yeah. me to (8:38am SLT)... No idea if that was an abandon or the release...
  16. Thanks for the heads up... But...is that soon or soonβ„’?😊
  17. 2:28 am - a traditional house came up (gone in 0.003 seconds...)
  18. This one is not modular... but it's apparently designed for small spaces, so might work in a Linden home depending on the layout you go with. Low LI too. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/vespertinesmall-spaces-kitchen/9269404 I had a look at it in-world a while ago, and I seem to remember it does look a bit nicer in the marketplace ad, but see what you think. I second Aria & The Loft for a modern look - some great options, and usually lots of texture change options. And just for a laugh, one step up from an ice box... https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Soy-Gas-Burner-addme/14376874 Depends how much you're into cooking, I guess... πŸ˜„
  19. Oh, thank you @Leora Jacobus, but it's not too bad - I spent the weekend at the computer for other reasons anyway, so it was no big deal. And I was very lucky (and deliriously happy) to get a home a couple of days before the refresh restrictions, but the spot is a bit laggy, so now I'm just looking for a less laggy location. And yes! it can be very relaxing to step away from the refreshing for a bit, that's for sure.
  20. Saw a traditional at around 3:50 SLT, first home I've seen after spending the weekend refreshing and not seeing a single one. It really is about landing on the page at the exact microsecond the house is available... and they still go so fast!
  21. Oooh, thank you! Your place looks amazing, and on less than 175 prims? That's just incredible. I'm in awe of how well everything works together and how sophisticated it all looks like. I especially love the kitchen. I think I'm going to do mine in a very similar way - well, if I do end up having a kitchen-, I hope you don't mind 😊. That concrete worktop is exactly what I've been looking for!
  22. Kittens: horrible screeching things that ***** everywhere * Rainbows: pfft, it's not like you can take one home; it's all rigged anyway Butterflies: what a misleading name, they are not in fact flies made of butter, I want my money BACK Baby goats: I don't know, what do they taste like? *By the way I ADORE cats (and kittens even more so) - just RPing here. I really really wanted to add this...
