    What does your SL home look like?

    I believe the image I have was created by Frika Zoid but I'm not quite sure so I'm wary of reproducing it here clearly; it does appear often in the fan pages on FB.  I'm fond of that photo you posted, with Barnabas in front of his portrait, though the artist made him look older and unaccountably cross (since that was pre-vampiric time).

    That's why I like your's better. It's a more accurate depiction of the character rather than of the actor as in the portrait on the set. Most see it the opposite way but I've always danced to the beat of a different drummer.

    SL after mesh is not offering nothing new people get bored fast,many role playing places have very stupid rules,big places don't help,when we travel around sims we  look for green dots and rating,if you have 3 avatars like  i saw in Insilico 100s of times and 2 are bots? forget it, i'm looking for alive people like it or not is the way it is.Smaller places are the trend right now,why? smaller places concentrate more people, and people make the place enjoyable no big structures,plus SL capabilities are not right for many things,and not many people have good computer to render such big useless structures. Big sims are going to close fast this year and  i know, like i said before, we look for land rating and green dots is the way it is.

    Things shouldnt be too dystopian for me. No nuclear wastelands and such, but just the right amount of dystopian: dim, but still functional, Blade Runner style. :) Like HL.

    These eyes are getting old and while they do still have a pretty good night vision thing going on, it doesn't work so well looking at a screen or oncoming headlights.

     

    ETA: When I was young I loved driving at night because I could see even without the moon. Now... too much traffic on the roads at all hours so I avoid driving at night unless absolutely necessary.

    At this point, I should really just bow out of this thread, honestly. It's pointless, and waaaay too toxic for my usual level of comfort. If anyone wants to know what's truly up, just talk to Djehan. She's very friendly, and doesn't bite. :) 

    Personally I don't need to talk to her. I know enough about what is involved, from my own RL experiences, to make an informed decision. 

    If I had the financial means to do so, I would get one of the small rentals, if it were a place I would feel comfortable occupying. I must have 'air and light'. A few trees, shrubs and flowers wouldn't hurt. If not and I had the extra, I'd just donate a bit.

    The written word is by nature imprecise though. It's not ideal, but misunderstandings and erroneous assumptions are inevitable. All we can do is smile, and if the mistake was made in good faith (as they usually are) then correct the problem graciously.

    I'm not speaking of the written words but of what is behind those words. The experiences, emotions and beliefs that are the driving force, so to speak.

    The problem is, that many ppl are assuming a lot, and are basing their thinking on that. Fact is, I just had another chat with Dhehan, and she laid it all out to me. As I told Fiona, it's not my place to explain things, save to say I'm now re-assured that what she's doing is completely legal, and fully inside the TOS, and in no danger of ever deemed murky business. :) 

    It's been that way through the whole thread. That's just how some humans are.

    People make erroneous assumptions about me and things I say and do every day. All. day. long. Not easy to deal with but you get through it.

    The test of this will be when the sim owner tries to pay the next month's rent at the discounted rate. Linden Lab could have already decided to strip the discount from this sim, in which case the owner will be charged $230 x5 rather than $115 x5; but there's no way for any of us to know until that actually happens. Until then, everything is theoretical.

    Oh, and the case of this sim is potentially an important precedent that Linden Lab are setting. Lose the victim complex, this isn't just about this one sim that could be gone in a matter of weeks; and is therefore fully open to discussion.

    I have to agree with Ayela on this oen Kira. This isn't about just HL, it's about all 'art' regions in SL and it is setting a very important precedence. Hopefully LL made the right decision for SL. 

    Yeah I know, wish in one hand and boop in the other and see which one fills up first.

    t shows the currency amounts in your local currency; so for me that's GBP, for you that's EUR. It's pretty simple to convert them, and to see that the target is indeed $6700 and not $6000.

    When I looked at it it did say $6000 USD, not $6700. Now it shows $6,707. So it got changed at some point.

    what you describe here makes it absolutely no donation, this is a product you sell upfront, and if no delivery possible you get your payment back.
    A donation is never refundable. Its given out of free will, with no future expectations, and for most not even for a specific cause, but free to spend by the receiver. With this temperatures it could be even for a icecream for staff.

    There are no laws in the US prohibiting the return of a donation to the donator. 

    Under certain circumstances, nonprofit organizations can refund a donor’s contribution. However, under other circumstances, returning a donor’s gift could result in a review by state authorities. Whether or not a situation results in state review will depend on a given state’s regulations, the impact returning the gift would have on the nonprofit, and the size of the gift in question,.

    Different states have different laws and regulations governing nonprofit organizations. However, most, if not all, state rules are vague on the point of charities returning gifts. What states do recognize is that when a donor gives money to a nonprofit organization, that money is no longer the donor’s once accepted by the charity. Instead, the money is, in effect, owned by the public interest. Because nonprofit organizations exist to benefit the public interest, regulators will be concerned that gifts are used to further the public interest. Returning a donor’s gift could be contrary to the public interest. That’s the issue for regulators.
