  1. Do the cannons fire over the property line? I'd guess you must be on their property if the cannon fire could hit you. Most LL land has object entry disabled doesn't it? They might be a cool supplement to the hornets.
  2. Even when i was promoting my $1 L per parcel mainland scheme, I never suggested caps on what land could be offered for sale in the private market. Land sales in SL are a perfect example of the free market at work. You offer something for sale. If we can't agree on a price, there is no sale. What could be fairer than that? And as i said before, all LL cares about is that someone is paying tier, they don't care and shouldn't care if someone puts a $1,000,000 L price tag on a 512.
  3. Direct sale, or by auction, if someone is willing to pay the high price asked, that's all good. An owned parcel i had my eye on went for auction instead of sale. They got far more than a land flipper would have paid. It was already over $8,000 L when i noticed the auction. Talking to the buyer they said they managed to get in again at the last second and win. I didn't ask what they paid, but i'm guessing it was around $12,000 L. They bought it to flip it, so they immediately set the sale price at $25,000 which considering the prices on the surrounding parcels, is actually relatively cheap. That was a week ago, the price is already down to $20,999, and they are trying to rent it out as well. If it ever drops to $10,000, I might buy it, but probably won't. I find that if you wait long enough, there is always a parcel available at the price YOU are willing to pay. I myself flipped a parcel last week. Bought it for $5 L per sq m, then put it up for sale a few weeks later for $10 L per sq m, because i got a 4096 even cheaper and didn't need the prims any more. It was a fantastic deal at $10 L per sq m, but i'm not greedy, and it made me a profit. It sold in 12 hours.
  4. You can reply to IMs sent to you in your e-mail while you are offline, but you can't initiate an IM covo, unless of course you simply reply to an old IM
  5. Of course he did, I just wanted to post a video clip of it. Blade Runner the movie is far superior to the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". Of course the movie is just barely based on the book, except for the basic idea. I watch the whole movie just to see this scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoAzpa1x7jU&t=4s
  6. Thought you were asking if seasonal logins are down. The answer of course is yes, because its "fill-in-the- blank" season, and people are too busy doing "fill-in-the-blank" in real life, but as soon as this season is over, it's sure to pick up.
  7. They are annoying, add nothing to a scene, and are just one more thing to derender
  8. That's the Voight-Kampff test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umc9ezAyJv0
  9. I think some of the people posting in here are bots, certain words trigger their programming and they spout the same drivel in response every single time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqqwTgk8ri0 Waiting for it.....
  10. I don't even know what the topic actually is. I never knew.
  11. All land is public access if access isn't restricted.
  12. If access to a property is not restricted in some way, it IS public access, even something that clearly looks like a private dwelling. You must do ALL the following things to ensure compliance, even in a private residence. What does "behind closed doors" mean? Adult activity on Moderate land must be conducted "behind closed doors," meaning that you must make every reasonable effort to ensure that the parcel is private. This means: Allow only a group or specific individuals access to the parcel. If it is group-access only, the group must not be freely open to join. Hide avatars (turn off avatar visibility) for the parcel. Enclose the area behind walls or other visual barriers. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Adult_Content_FAQ
  13. If your home doesn't have a security orb, ban lines or group only access, it IS considered public or public access. You CANNOT have any adult objects in any place on a M rated sim that is public access, even your own bedroom, if you don't take steps to restrict access.
  14. I dunno about that... there's an incredible number of land owners that don't understand that non-sexual nudity is allowed on moderate sims. Or... maybe they just don't have the nerve to say they don't want nudity and choose to hide behind the TOS instead. Gees we'd love if you were naked here, but we are a moderate sim and nudity isn't allowed according to the TOS.
  15. I often fall asleep thinking of SL, but as far as I know, i've never been in SL in a dream. I did have a dream one time, and I woke up crying, because I was so happy. It was a vision of the future, and it came true.
  16. No, that was The Sound of Music https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2016/09/18/sound-of-music-actress-charmian-carr-dies-at-73/90627112/
  17. Generally threads derail AFTER the original topic has run its course. I personally suggested other examples besides military service of appropriating something a person isn't entitled to, in order to gain a benefit. Others brought politics into the thread, and of course once offered, I'm entitled to reply. I suggest you follow the lead of what's his name and block those that sully the forums with the real world.
  18. Didn't someone once say, there's lies, damned lies, and statistics https://www.york.ac.uk/depts/maths/histstat/lies.htm
  19. The only plot is that some people think America is a jingoistic warmongering nation that wishes to enslave everyone and create a worldwide hegemony.
  20. Yes, in America we take pride in and show our appreciation for the efforts of people that have served in the military, and those that serve in the military today And let's not forget, we aren't just keeping America free, we are keeping the entire world free.
  21. And lets not forget criminals that dress as cops in an attempt to pull people over in order to rob them... or worse https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/investigates/action-news-jax-investigates-how-to-figure-out-if-a-fake-cop-is-pulling-you-over/914485987
  22. Apparently it's not a one time thing, there have been other incidents where people claimed to be veterans while attending Remembrance day ceremonies. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/fake-war-veterans-at-ceremonies-prompt-new-safeguards-from-ottawa-1.3174599
