I hit a slot machine jackpot a couple times, too.
Ever hit it without playing?

What seems to be flying right over most people's heads, though, is that playing the refresh game is a choice that literally no one has to do.
Sounds like you already have a Bellisseria home.

of course there will be a last, how do you want to prevent that?
And a lottery will not speed things up, all keeps the same. 3 sims a week and once a quarter a huge release.17 minutes ago, DaSein Noyes said:some get randomly chosen every time there is a release of a region
No, it wouldn't speed anything up. That is true. What it would do is give equal chance to those who don't have the time, opportunity or capacity to click refresh for hours on end or days on end. It all reminds me of dialing for concert tickets on a rotary phone when I was a kid and competing against those who had a redial button. Sometimes I got lucky, but all in all it was pretty stupid. Refreshing a page is not a fun game.

still a grand idea when we go sell the lotery tickets only between 8 and 9 AM GMT+1 ?
no matter what system you want to release on this subject, there will alway be people last in line.You don't sell tickets. People choose the house and then some get randomly chosen every time there is a release of a region. There is no line, so there is no last. 3 times a week you would have the same chance as everyone else who chose a Bellisseria home. Instead of a sold out message you get a notice that you have been added to the lottery pool.

Lottery is a grand idea and in every way more functional than the last two systems of release. The current system could still remain in place for abandoned or unclaimed properties.

OK, so that is one option. There are many more, though, and tbh I'm not sure why yard sales are even on point in a discussion about TIP JARS. lol
Well ... "Community Events" is a big umbrella. The only reason I brought up yardsales is because the advertising/commercial aspect of it is not debatable. I think we all agree that entertainers deserve to be paid. It's more work than dancing, right?

From the link that YOU posted. Nowhere does it mention that the point is yard sales.
How about Patch Linden June 4:
"We have other plans in place to satisfy requests for something like a yard sale, where you could feature Linden Homes add-ons in a communal area already in place, to come soon™. "

Pretty sure yardsales arent the point of it and community events and parties are
Oh, really. You magically know this and yet have no magical insight into tip jars. "Community Events" is a big umbrella.

Not the event, the exception to the covenant regarding the use of tip jars.
What are you talking about. There may be yardsales there and all sorts of other commercial activities. It's the whole point having it there

if something is sanctioned, that should be made public for everyone to know, not a chosen few
I unfortunately do not remember where I saw the announcement of the fairgrounds 4th of July shindig being the first ever ... but it was officially announced around the time the fairgrounds were being completed. This was not a secret. I think maybe it was part of the notice announcing the fairgrounds being completed but I didn't take notes or anything ... I knew about it ahead of time and i"m nobody
Here you go. Announced June 25th

When so many people are doing the same thing, that tool is no longer any help. There is probably absolutely no chance if you are trying normally without using the auto-refresh
maybe ... maybe not
I got my home last Monday manually refreshing because I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time. This coming Monday will be an opportunity. The advantage of manual clicking is that you are right there to make the three clicks necessary to secure a success.
Auto-refresh is a good way to see how many homes are being abandoned because you will probably get a sold out message for being slow on the trigger.
If I were trying it this Monday, I would let the auto-refresh run as an alert for when a region is being released and then switch to manual during the process.
Just a suggestion

So much consternation about nothing
What is the big deal about sanctioned commercial activity at the fairgrounds? That's the whole point of fairgrounds. We want that

Bellisseria is part of Mainland.
Thank you for that crucial piece of information.Those who read with comprehension (it's here : http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Mainland_policies ) will notice that not one line on the entire page refers to anything remotely related to Bellisseria or Linden Homes .. or surrounding regions for that matter

Sadly, I don't think that's how it works. As with any EULA/TOS, you press 'Agree' when you're about to receive/use the product, not sooner. Naturally, because of the shortage, you may think "Of course I want one!" But, under normal circumstances, one could also just as easily navigate away from the Homes page, before actually finalizing the 'purchase.' That's why any 'Terms & Conditions' agree/decline button really needs to be at the end of the process.
Did you actually read the "terms and conditions"? It is a link to
Linden Lab Official:Mainland policies
It's stuff that belongs on the land covenant page and not as a block to getting your paid account perk linden home. Implying that it's a necessary confirmation page is misleading ... It is no such thing
I challenge you to find even one item on that page that relates to linden homes in any way. Someone could have taken 10 minutes to link the agreement box to some linden home rules but they couldn't be bothered. It's not just an annoyance ..it's a pointless annoyance

So, for those of you who refreshed and got one, does Bellissario come up in the default, displacing Meadowbrook, so I can just hit refresh over and over, or do I have to go down and check the pull down menu to find it?
It seems that once you get the sold out message you can depend on Bellisseria to displace the top choice. If you chose a different theme in your latest try then it will probably be in the dropdown menu. This is the theory I'm working under.

Has anybody opened a JIRA requesting that it be changed? That is how changes get done in SL.
How is going through an assembly of techies more effective than getting Patch Linden, who is in a position to demand a change, aware of the seriousness of the issue?
If he knows, and nothing happens ... then that's that
-
The terms tick box should most definitely be located before the theme selection page in the current setup. Why it is even necessary and not just included in the SL TOS is a mystery to me. The placement is obviously an error.
Turning house-getting into a game of chance is fair enough .. clearly the most fair system given the supply/demand ratio, but coupling chance with a test of dexterity is wholly inappropriate and certainly not in the spirit of equal housing opportunity
Please stop this disadvantaging of a large loyal minority who are incapacitated to some degree.
thank you
another idea: Perhaps it can be made to remember being clicked previously. Why can't it take "yes" for an answer.
-
It's like they're trying to sabotage everything that's awesome on the Marketplace and pushing 5 year old crappy noob stuff. It's not good advertisement for SL. All one has to do is choose a category atr random leaving the search field blank to see how badly "Relevance" is organized .. and that's the default. It's embarrassing really
-
This new "relevance" default is anything but. Instead of showing the most popular items it randomly lists stuff that probably hasnt sold in years ... often for good reason. You have to go into "sort by" and choose "best selling" for proper results after every single search.
My store is sorted with the poorest selling items on the first page and my best sellers on the last. How exactly is that "relevant"
It's terrible

Why do you care? Does it matter? How does it effect YOU? The calendar looked pretty open to me .. schedule your event.
