If we turned it around and asked Linden Lab what their biggest disappointment with Second life is , they would probably say how sex permeates their creation. I'm sure the management cringes every time they see a headline "Second Life is a haven for Sexual Degenerates"

Display names were one of Linden Lab's biggest blunders, I bet whoever though of it never considered that "Master's f**k Toy" would be the number one choice for a name

Before the human hud was created, people joining the game wore the vampire hud and clicked "human" or "vampire" depending if they wanted to be a doll or a vamp. Souls have always been collected thru the hud the victim wears. I've been closely involved in bloodlines since I was about 6 months old. I've forgotten more than certain people here ever knew

In your case, there is a reason. You have made enemies and they are out to get you. You are not an innocent victim. Thank you for clearing that up

I would think bloodlines would be way more interesting and challenging. I've lost track of how many vampires I've chased out of freebie malls by yelling at them after they sent me a bite request. And lets not forget what one can do in response to a bite request in places where you can rezz. *grins*

So why are you hated so much?

https://www.slbloodlines.com/ If you have never been bitten it will simply say no results found. It used to be that you could web search "slbloodlines <username>" and find the person on the master bite list of the vampire that bit them, but they changed the website and now nothing shows up. Searching the name in bloodlines will get you: "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." So unless the search says no result found, the person searched was bitten at some point in the past.

Since there actually is a Linden that reads this stuff, why does Linden Lab follow a course that ensures mainland will continue to have large swaths of abandoned land? I've suggest several times in here that LL needs to put itself on an even footing with estate owners, and subdivide all of the abandoned mainland into lots of various sizes, and just like estate owners, sell the parcels for $ 1 L each. Its the monthly tier thats important, not the purchase price. Linden Lab has been very helpful to me in arranging me to buy mainland many times, and i totally appreciate it, but many don't want to jump through the hoops, being gouged by land barons or outbid by land flippers at auction. Tons of premium members would be thrilled to see a parcel, buy it for $1 L and move in just like on a private estate. If they change their mind later, its easy to abandon, since you only paid $1 L And LL collects a full months tier even if the land is only owned for one day. And if the land barons buy up every parcel as soon as its on the market, its still a win for LL, but the flippers won't be able to get the outrageous prices they get now. And one more thing, there needs to be far far more adult land. Zindra is full, you could double the size tomorrow and it would fill up right away. Just my thoughts.

Progeny has huds, but they don't interact with non players. As a progeny vampire I could harvest blood or souls or whatever from non players around me but only me and other players would know about it. The Bloodlines hud interacts with non players, and thats where the problem lies. As for RP, its always been my personal opinion that an emoted action doesn't actually happen until I respond to it.

I have a private club house on a moderate sim, I occasional have adult activities there with a few close friends. I don't advertise then publically, so I'm fine. If your 16 yr old kid shows up and admits they are 16, I'll eject them

As far as i know one bite gives enough blood for one day. Vampires suffer from "the curse" They have 5 L of blood, but every 24 hours they lose 1/4 Liter. One bite replenishes that much blood. After 20 days without feeding all their blood blood has gone and they are destroyed. That's how Mars Bracken (the creator) makes so much money. It costs each vampire $15 L a day to maintain their blood levels. I suspect many lieges fail to mention this fact to their new minions, so, having no money they are forced to wander places noobs congrate trying to bite them for a free fix.

It looks like you might be right. Lets use Phils case as an example. He was bitten by Rhea Sands on 8/23/2008. That's the only bite he ever received. His friend LittleAbs bought him the hud 02/09/2014, he wore it , and I assume the original biter got his soul since LittleAbs never bit him. At this point she would use a soul reaper to transfer the soul from the original biter (Rhea Sands) to her. from the guide: Your first attacker will receive your soul when you join the game, unless you drink the Wormwood potion before you join, then the next person to attack you after you join will receive your soul. Thats what vamps usually do, but I guess LittleAbs chose the soul reaper option.

Every estate sim I've lived on is generally full up, with ban lines, horrible privacy screens or land walls. On mainland I practically have the whole sim to myself, plus a whole continent awaits me just by walking out my front door and waiting for one of the cool LL hovercars to roll by.

Not quite. Yes, your soul is in the abyss if you are bit and aren't wearing the hud. However, the first person to bite you after you wear the hud gets your soul. It can be a different vampire from the original biter.

The victim doesn't need to have a hud to be bitten and registered as having lost their soul in bloodlines. That's what people complain about, the fact that you are not notified that you will be put into the data base if you accept the bite If a bloodlines victim doesn't have the hud, the vampire gets a blood fix (value 15 L) the human loses his soul to the abyss, and the victims name shows up on the vampires master bite list. The vampire only collects the soul if they are the first one to bite the human after the hud is worn by the victim. Only souls that have been taken thru the hud that the human wears count for the vampires rank and standing.

I never called you a liar, I simply pointed out that your version of the events didn't match with whats on the bloodlines database. Feel free to remember me for as long as you want, but you won't be getting any apologies from me for you faulty memory.

oh my, well then, I'm waiting for my apology

Lets see, Bloodlines offers proof on its webpage that you wore the hud, and were bitten, you were and are an active member in the bloodlines database, a blood doll to be specific. On the other hand all you can offer is vague statements of "i can't remember, it was so long ago, I simply don't know". If bloodlines says you are an active blood doll, that is what you are. As I said before, If it really bothers you that much, wear the garlic necklace, activate it, then remove it and put in in the trash and your whole relationship with bloodlines will be erased. It is you that owe me an apology for attacking me simply for presenting to everyone the proof that you are an active member of bloodlines.

like i said before, wear the garlic necklace, activate it, and your name will disappear from the roster of active members.

its possible she said that to trick u into letting her bite you.

You said yourself the whole incident is rather hazy in your mind. The bloodlines webpage shows that you are lying or confused. You ARE a member of bloodlines and here is the page that proves it https://human.slbloodlines.com/members/164917 If it bothers you that much, wear the garlic necklace, activate it and your name will disappear from the database. Maybe I should ask the vampire that bit you *grins*

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. https://www.slbloodlines.com/

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.

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

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
