  1. Tier and land are 2 separate things.  If you donate 1024 tier to a group, including the %10 bonus tier a group gets, the group can then own 1126 worth of land.  If you donate 1500 tier to the group, the group can own 1650 land.  The %10 bonus works for any amount of tier donated but you can only buy tier in 1024, 2048, 4096, etc. chunks.

    You can donate any amount of tier you own to a group and they will get a %10 bonus tier on that amount.

  2. Normally, this question is a trap.  Guys, if your wife/girlfriend ever asks you this, there is no right answer and you'll be in trouble no matter what you say.  LOL

    That being said, I'll say 53....(ducks)

  3. The edges will never be straight (90 degrees) but you can get it close.  It there are gaps around the edges of the house, you can cover that with shrubs or other vegetation.

    Sometimes I'll sink the build into the ground where I want it then terraform down until you cant see the ground poking through the walls and floor.

  4. I think it was a pretty cool event.  It got people out and about and visiting other places.  I personally had a pretty good time.  I wasn't really trying to get the most candies as I just didn't have time for that but I had fun walking/flying around and seeing all the cool builds people have done.  I got a lot of decorating ideas, got on a few ban lists, got booted off parcels and TP'd home, got about 320 pieces of candy, and met a lot of cool people.  Overall, it was a pretty well rounded event.

  5. I agree.  I have been flying search patterns over Belli looking for buckets and have been insta TP'd home and banned 3 times so far.  It totally ruins my search pattern and I have to start all over.  Then there's the ones that boot you in 1 to 15 seconds.  Most of the time that's not enough for things to rez so I can figure out where the bucket is and/or get out of there before being booted.

    It must be a funny joke to them to put out a bucket then boot people that try to get a candy from it.

    Thanks for the helpful explanations.  Once an owner deeds land to a group, I assume there is no turning back?  As in can't revert back being the sole owner again?

    Yes you can get the land back. Just sell the land back to yourself.  Make sure you have the tier personally covered first though because if you own more land than you have tier, even if for only a minute or two, you'll be charged for a months worth of the next tier level.  The group has a couple days leeway in this in that a group can own more land than it has tier for about 48 hours before LL will charge you for it.  Personal tier levels do not have this leeway.  If you want that 1024 back from the group, first remove a 1024 tier contribution from the group then sell the land back to yourself.

    Yes a number of people did, and since the notice says it will be abandoned in 5 days, I guess the prudent thing to do is either abandon or sell, or else wait and see if the Lindens will carve out smaller pieces of it around some parcels directly. That's what I will do, as I have a tenant there and have always had a rule not to sell out land from under a paying tenant,  and have rarely deviated from it, and if I was forced to, I provided that tenant compensation.

    I'm just going to wait it out as that 1 little parcel doesn't mean much to me in the grand scheme of things.  I bought it because I liked the area and the premise behind designing it and it was super cheap.  I guess I know why now.

    There are a few landscaping issues on mine that is rubbing up against my OCD so if the area gets all jacked up and I have to re-do it, that's good for me.

  8. Let me see if I can explain it.  It's not as hard as it seems.

    When you go premium, you get an allowance of 1024sm of land.  You can get a Linden home or use it on 1024sm of land on the mainland.  A group can also own land but the members of that group have to donate some or all of that 1024sm to the group.   That is called "tier"  As long as the group has enough tier donated by it's members, it can own that much land.  When you deed land to a group, you are essentially giving your land to the group.  When deeding land to a group there is a checkbox you can tick that says use deed as contribution or something like that.  That means you are giving that land and tier to the group.

    A group also get a %10 land bonus which means the group gets %10 more tier than is actually donated by it's members so if you donate 1024 to the group, the group actually gets 1126 sm worth of tier.
