So, where are we now,
1) Phil Deakens is a human in the Curse hoard, which i think is is kind of a dumping ground hoard for all "non active" members of bloodlines
His soul went to the only vampire that ever bit him, just as the hud was intended to work. That vampire later gave it away to someone else .
2) Dillon Levenque was bitten hoping to get lucky, his soul went to the abyss, and he wore the garlic necklace afterwards to hide the fact he was bitten.
3) the other two i searched have never been bitten.

Could it be that the hud was a later addition, perhaps to stem some of the criticism? The system seems to have changed through the years and Phil and Dillon have been around for a very long time.
I'm curious if I'm in the database, would you please look me up Billi? IRCC I avoided bite requests and was given a garlic necklace fairly early on.
Bloodlines is a game system where you gain "points" and advance in status by collecting souls. Souls are game markers to see who has the most "points" The hud has always been at the center of the system.
"no results found" for you either. You were never bitten, in fact its impossible to be bitten if you wear the garlic necklace, the system doesn't permit it. Only if you wear the garlic necklace after being bitten will show you have been removed from the data base.
Since you were never bitten, you were never on the database to be removed from it

mine´s Soul in Abyss or Limbo, right?
your search shows no results found, same as mine. That is the only search status that shows you were never bitten. If you were bitten and wore a garlic necklace afterwards, you'd have the same search result as Dillon, "player removed from database due to wearing garlic necklace" .
I'm happy to announce that your bloodlines soul still resides in your own body

Nope. I didn't wear any Bloodlines HUD at any time, and the only Bloodlines thing that I'm a member of (not an "active" member, btw, and never was an "active" member) is a list/database of theirs. I accepted that when I allowed someone to bite me. That's it. What you missed was the difference between Dillon and I. Dillon got and wore the garlic thing, whereas I merely heard about it. Hence the differences in the pages.
You keeping on saying that I wore their HUD is stupid, and I'd prefer it if you would stop saying it, because it makes me sound like I was one of them, when I wasn't. I already told you that I didn't wear the HUD (I never had one to wear), and you repeating that I did is effectively calling me a liar, which I'm not.
ETA: According to your theory, a person only gets into the database when they have participated by wearing the HUD, in which case you are calling Dillon a liar too, because both of us said that we never wore the HUD. Your little bit of humour seems to be getting out of hand. At least I assume that it's humour, otherwise you really would be calling us liars, when all you are doing is showing your ignorance in the matter.
i'm not trying to attack you or piss you off, i just know how the bloodlines system works. If a person wears the hud and is bit, the soul goes to the person that bit you, and thats what your bloodlines page shows.
Dillon didn't wear the hud, his soul went to the abyss. Even without the garlic necklace he would only show up on a page listing all the victims of the vampire that bit him, there wouldn't be a special page dedicated to him.
If you think I'm lying I can invite active vampire friends of mine to join this discussion and they can explain how the system works, and your current status in bloodlines.

Re: being bitten with or without wearing the HUD. Long ago, before I knew anything at all about any vampire games in SL, I once met a chick vampire at a random but for sure non-vampire sim (it was mostly shopping mall) and said Yes to her bite request (mainly because I was hitting on her and I was pretty sure the bite would advance the runner, so to speak). At least a couple of years later a friend who it turned out was an active player told me my soul had been taken by said vampire chick. At no time did anyone give me a HUD; the only affirmation I made was to the "official" bite request where you agree to the animation. Thus I agree with Phil's recollection.
Things did move along quite nicely after the bite, as I'd hoped. As it turned out that resulted in an absolutely hilarious situation which regrettably is impossible to report here without being far too graphic. There aren't enough asterisks.
searching you on bloodlines gives us this:
This account has been deactivated. Accounts that have been deactivated by wearing The Garlic Necklace are now displayed as auto-generated names with the last names Immortalus, Maleficus, Damarchus, Grimm, or Miasmador
That is not what shows up when i searched for Phil. He was and still is an active member in the bloodlines database.. because he wore the hud before he was bitten

Its funny but a lot of my friends let themselves be bitten in the heat of passion.
I never let any of my vampire lovers even have a free bite.

I have no recollection of being asked to wear a hud so that the person could bite me, but I can't swear that it didn't happen. All I remember is that I was asked if s/he could bite me (it would have been a she, of course. I wouldn't let a bloke bite me, for goodness sakes!
), and I let her so that others would stop asking me. What I can swear to is that I've never been involved in Bloodlines or anything remotely similar - never. So there! 
Oh i believe you, but if you want to totally remove yourself from bloodlines, wear the garlic necklace, it will block your name on the website

Billi Billi Billi..... I've never been a bloodlines player - active or non-actuive
That page is undoubtedly as a result of me allowing one of them to bite me, just to stop them from asking me. Also, I've never worn, or even had, their hud. I may have indulged in their garlic thing though. I don't remember why but it ro=ings a feint bell. It's such a long time ago.
The page doesn't lie, if you were bitten without the hud, you wouldn't show up in bloodlines search.
If you are bitten without the hud, your soul goes to the abyss, if you are wearing the hud, the person that bites you gets your soul.
If you weren't wearing the hud when you got bitten, then the next person to bite you after you wear the hud gets your soul
However, you were only bitten once, by one person, so that person must have bought you the hud before they bit you.
So now we know why the vampires leave you alone, your soul is already spoken for. Its not in the abyss, you can sleep easy now

I found just the opposite. I used to get enough request to bite me that I let one of them do it, just to shut them all up. After that, I didn't get any more requests and I didn't get anyone offering to rescue me. As far as I know, my 'soul' is still in limbi, if that's where it goes.
Phil Phil Phil......you are an active bloodlines player, you wore the hud. Your soul is owned by LittleAbs. Obviously Rhea Sands traded your soul at some point in time, or sold it.

it's only my humble... cough... opinion that OP can skip his claim on having christian principles... the words tell he's eveything but that.
And... does being christian, or any religious denomintaion, make your avatar also member of that?.. i don't think it does, it at most influences your thinking and/or behaving.
I heard the Latter Day Saints are secretly baptizing avatars without their knowledge, which make the person in rl a member of their church.

Bloodlines has changed their webpage somehow, there used to be a page for each vampire showing the name of every person they ever bit. I could google "slbloodlines -avatar name-" and find their name on a page of every victim of any one vampire.
If i searched on the bloodlines webpage a non players name it would give no results, but using the search i described, their name would show up.
If i was bored i'd do it to friends and say, ohhhh, i see you lost your soul years ago. Some had no clue, some were mildly upset, some asked what they should do about it. I just said forget it,its meaningless.
I suspect Bloodlines no longer keeps list of avatar names that were bit but never wore the hud in its public database. Of course its still in a private list for people using the hud

To say I am pissed would be an understatement!! I found out that some bloody moron thinking they are a Vampire has bitten me without my knowledge and as such has left their bite on me, I am *****ing angry as it goes against every feeling I have against Vampires and other saten stuff, in fact if I could find the person in RL I would smack them in the mouth without a second thought. I feel violated to the extreme. Yes people might say it's "only a game" but our Avatars become US as we mould them and to have some ***** head abuse it or ME goes against everything I believe in yes Linden do not give a ***** and allow this invasion to continue. Angry? BLOODY RIGHT I AM ANGRY.
If it was bloodlines, they had to send you a bite request, which you would have had to accept.
Its it progeny, they "feed" on other players all the time, with no ones knowledge.
The only bad thing about bloodlines is that if you accept their bite request your "soul" (bloodlines game marker) goes to limbo and you will be contacted by concerned vampires for the rest of your second life informing you of this fact and offering to rescue it for you.
And yes its true, i play bloodlines, only i'm playing to keep my soul in my own body. I'm a "fresh victim".

I was on a totally empty LL house sim one time, all the lot lines were there but no houses. I couldn't decide if it was an expansion or a contraction.

I'm honestly not sure why I'm pushing to make it easier for people to buy mainland. I have an 8192 sq m on roadfront on a mostly abandoned sim. The views of the open rolling prairie are quite cool. They remind me of my recent trip to Nebraska. I also have wonderful sunrise/moonrise ocean views from the roof of my building. There is no lag and no annoying neighbors.

Talligurl please, not all guys are here for one thing even though you covered yourself by saying "I am NOT saying that it is the same thing for every guy though". Some of us guys would just like company to share ideas and enjoy each others company and just go off and do things..
Blissfulbreeze sounds a honest and truthfull person unlike some people Ive met on SL, i hate people on SL who are false and use different gender avi's to try and attract people, hope she don't meet any of them.
How will she ever know?
So, are you saying there are RL lesbians pretending to be guys in here so they can have sex with women?
Anyone that worries that the person they meet in SL might not match their RL gender should really just quit SL and go play somewhere else.

I agree that when you zoom out on the area in the map, you get a better idea on the area of land for sale, versus the area of the land not for sale. There is also land that is for sale OR for rent, so that land only appears as for sale until someone rents it out, and then it is removed from the 'for sale' classification until the tenant quits renting.
In regards to some of the other comments further up in the thread, about land:
What the map doesn't show is the amount of abandoned land, and you can't always tell that land is abandoned without actually going to the land and checking the 'about land'. Sometimes land appears abandoned at ground level, but is not - either the owners are letting it sit empty for whatever reason or they have all their activities up on sky platforms or domes.
As for LL selling mainland at 1 L per parcel, that would have to be land that was already abandoned, because I don't think LL can or should be able to impose limits on the price people choose for selling their land. Even if it was limited to abandoned mainland, I think a price that low would devastate the land market for residents. Not all that buy or sell land are land-flippers, and of those that do buy to re-sell, not all are price gougers.
I don't know that land-flippers can be done away with because buying and selling land is a valid business activity. I've also seen that, if you look around thoroughly, you will find a variety of L's per meter sale parcels, from a very low 0.5 to extreme of over 100 in some areas. Sometimes the higher prices I've seen (outside of the double prim areas) are on land that has been owned by an individual for a very long time (so not a land-flipper).
I have, in the past, put in tickets to purchase abandoned land that bordered, or was on the same sim, my existing land. Once I was able to buy it for 1L per meter, the other times LL put it up for auction, and I was able to get the land through the auction without having to pay too high of a price. (Whether a price is too high or not, depends also on strongly someone wants that particular parcel, and how much they feel comfortable paying for it.)
In the end, I think it is good that land stays in an active state (not abandoned) even if it means it's bought up by a real estate business.
estate owners sell their parcels for 1 L each. all im saying is that LL put themselves on an equal footing with estate owners and subdivide and list for sale their parcels at the same price as estate owners. resellers are still free to put their land for sale at any price they wish

No, such a tracker isn't possible in the scripting language of Second Life.
Look, a lot of good people have given you very wise advice. I can only repeat it so that you don't make a mistake you will regret.
You need to tuck his memory fondly away and move on, it's now time to find new friends.
AS one of my sl sisters is fond of saying, "the best way to get over someone, is to get under someone".

I second Alwin there! NO trackers! That´s just - DO NOT GO THERE!!! Not only is it a reason to be banned it is creepy as hell. No matter what he did (which wasn´t the most elegant way I know)!
I mean... imagine you´d find out someone had a tracker on you - what would you think or say...
Don't know about anyone else, but I'd be like whatever

You can use all that money you saved by giving up premium to buy a parcel on an estate and have your own stream again.

The amount of unused mainland for sale is jaw dropping. It is an opportunity to do something about it. Just look at the amount for sale on 'da boom' where sl first began ..
Someone clever figure something oot maybe ?
Not everyone wants to pay the price gouging amounts charged by land barons. My plan would put the land flippers out of business. The could still buy land at 1 L a parcel and try to sell it for more, but I doubt there would be many takers.

I have no idea how the other system works, but since it doesn't ask me to participate in any way I'm not bothered by it.
There is still some confusion here. You only wear the hud in bloodlines if you want the person biting you to have your soul, otherwise it goes into the abyss. If at a future time you wish to become active, you buy the hud (or more likely have it given to you by a vampire) and the next vampire to bite you gets your soul.
Anyone can look up people in bloodlines, just enter a name into the search bar.
