When you rent from us you get to be part of an amazing no drama community. We have 13 sims, ten of which have plenty of sailing and three are almost all water. We have a sailing club, two busy clubs (Midnight Passions and Toby's Juke Joint), Crossworlds Gallery, Deep Sea Dive Trips, Memorial Garden, and manypeaceful open spaces all within the community. Currently we have a homestead for rental called Midnight Reef. You will have 3750 prims, private sailing on 10 sims and full rights and an amazing SL for 9,200 a week. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Midnight%20Reef/130/127/21 Please feel free to visit or IM me for a tour. Dearest Myrtle

First of all apologies for not replying yesterday as I had a very busy RL work today. Also I'm in the UK so this is my early morning I'm appreciative of all the responses I received to my query for support in dealing with this avatar landowner. I especially will be looking at the rendering and skybox options in the future so thank you to the various people who made those suggestions When I went to the landowner to explain that I wasn't happy with what he had done his reaction was beyond all reasonable expectations, it became abusive, unpleasant, and he threatened to damage me and my partners businesses in second life. I have filed an abuse report and I don't know what the outcome will be, as you know we never know what action Linden Labs will take. For the time being I am just going to leave the situation as it is and let it calm down. That parcel is the one I get with my premium membership and I buy a 512 parcel with its allowance whenever I can. I paid 650 LD for the land as it was in a gorgeous location and lots of other rentals around and some free water and a number of landowners there. I did set the land for sale AND rent and I set the sale price of 1000 LD (so the landowner always knew this) because if I do sell it I want to make a profit and also it's very difficult to find a nice little parcel in mainland. However, I really prefer to rent the land at 100 a week as this means that if a lot of building comes to the environment over the next time period and makes it less attractive, the renter can just leave and find somewhere else and I am left to deal with the land. Sometimes I sell cheaply or I abandon the land and find another piece of land to buy (naturally these circumstances have arisen several times). Also in the long term it's more profitable to let the land if the renter stays. I have been in second life for four years, although I freely admit I haven't spent much of that time on the mainland. My partner and I run a business called Architech Design which is a store, and we sell houses and landscaping. We also own and run Toby's Juke Joint for which we had to buy a full sim and started doing a few rentals to help pay for the costs. I'm sure you know running a club in second life is not profitable. Overtime our rental business grew and we now have 13 sims joined by water which means that 10 of them are accessible for sailing to all our residents. We fund an art gallery and much of the water. Friends run three sims as a Sailing Club. We are not massive landowners but we do like the community we have and we have absolutely fabulous tenants and visitors to the sims. I did a little further research on the landowner who caused the issue for us, it appears that he has 250 sims. When I first met him which is the several weeks ago he told me that he systematically buys mainland sims to make them look nice. He did not tell me that people who don't want to sell to him at his prices are blocked in. I have now been banned from his sim, but before he did this yesterday I was able to see that several other people are in the same position as we are with small parcels totally blocked in. If, and I say IF, he is a landowner who by bullying and intimidation achieves growth to his landowning empire, then that would place him and us at opposite ends of the landowning spectrum! Oh, I did edit my post, about an hour so after I had put it up and I had received my first very helpful reply, I added a third photograph and corrected one spelling! Finally, I appreciate each and everyone of you who has Taken the trouble to reply, share your views and make suggestions. This is what is the best about the forums; the second life community sharing information for mutual benefit. Do feel free to contact me in second life should you so wish. If you wish to see the land or have the name of the avatar, I will happily supply both privately as I do not consider it appropriate to post them here. I will not be adding any further comment to this thread. Kindest regards Dearest Myrtle

Sadly he has escalated the situation, doubled the height of the blocking blocks and I will leave it to LL. I do like your idea re the skybox tho. I gave him plenty of chance to unblock the land but he was also unpleasant and abusive, I was not, and he threatened my business in SL. So thank you Regards Dearest

Thank you so much for your excellent advice. It is very much in line with my own approach. I will be careful with my sign. Do you think making it flash periodically would be unacceptable too? I want to make my point that he could have bought it for not a high price yesterday, but he chose to be very unplessant and confrontational. But I have no intention of letting it escalate. Kind regards Dearest

Thank you very much. I am not an unpleasant soul, but I am thinking of putting up s sign above his WALL to advertise my own rentals. I do not need to let the land at all. I assume this is legal if I stay in my parcel?

I bought a lovely 512 on mainland recently and since then one avatar has systematically bought up all the surrounding land. I had this land set for sale at 1000LD or for rent. He offered me 500 LD and spoke in terms of I had no option as noone would now want to rent my parcel. When I visited it today he has landlocked it with high boards. Is there any action I can take? I think he has done the same thing to a couple of other 512 parcels that dont belong to him. This is from outside above and I just used some glow to show the location. I have not left it on. This inside...........not pleasant. Previously I could see all around save for some cliffs behind. You can see here that HIS tenants get a lovely sea view but I am blocked in (extreme right)
