Hey there everyone,
I have read every comment on this thread. Truly there are some great ideas here.
Here is what we have done. I personally went up in tier and took over the Free Town of Helvellyn. Another has taken over most of Kirkstone. So we have a lot of the ERC preserved. However, we are not out of the woods yet. So I am here to revive this thread and once again ask for donors. However, things are different this time around. I am asking for people to buy the land and become true ERC patrons. Indigo was asking you to donate tier to a group that you would have a SAY in running. Ultimately it was her group that she had all the say in. I do not like the idea of that. I want to be in command of the lands that my tier is supporting. So, I want to be partners with some of you. I want you to come out and take some of these areas and help expand the ERC. Together we can make the ERC something even better than it was ever intended to be. I want to come together as a group of Second Life land owners with a common goal of building something truly amazing that we can all be proud of.
For many years I have been a part of the ERC. My boat building business (Feral Marine) has been based in the ERC and I have maintained a large marina, airport, and various other lands. I love this area and there is no where I would rather be. However, I do see a need to update as JamesKisson said. I have started in on that. As soon as I bought the land in Helvellyn I began returning Indigo's builds and replacing them with a little more modern mesh builds in the same theme and feel. If you ask most people what is important to them about the ERC it is the look and feel of this historic area. It is important to me too. The ERC was founded as a federation of land owners, but always had the issue that Indigo Mertel was the majority land owner. This needs to change, the ERC needs to become a federation like it was meant to be.
This is what we are offering now. We have a lot of land still available.
- ERMA (East River Municipal Airport) a small airport located in Brooks sim
- Muirhead Village - Located in Muirhead sim this area has quite a few rental homes and a large garden area
- Helvellyn Village - Located across the East River from Helvellyn town this area has rental homes and a vast garden.
- Hardknott area - This is mostly undeveloped land with a wind farm, vast forest area, and a home.
- Whinlatter Fortress - An old fortress right on a head water, amazing place for rental homes or any number of installations!
Among other areas.
I am looking for "investors" that are willing to come in and buy these lands and become part of the ERC. The people I am looking for will want to build something in theme and help preserve this area. For instance, someone coming in and buying up the rental homes in helvellyn and erecting a super modern home on the water front it NOT something we are interested in. However, for the right people I am willing to sell them the lands they would like for $L0, FREE (of course LL tier still applies)
So, please get in touch with me and I'll be happy to speak to you about taking over part of this historic and important area!
Sincerely,
Volchia Ferduccio
