Derender is your friend.

Must be fixed because obviously I'm in.

My local Chinese delivery includes hot mustard.

My security orbs are hostile because I want them to be. The Bellissaria restrictions are one of the reasons I want no part of Bellissaria. (I hate the architecture and layout too.)

"Oh damn! RL!" Then go offline.

The firestorm inworld group is not going to be much help if the person can't get on SL.

I would be a bar of soap somewhere.

I find that SL is pretty tame compared to my RL. Of course I have not been able to have an entire kitchen staff in a restaurant fired in SL because there really are no restaurants in SL. I know there are RP ones but really, it's pretty hard to RP a really badly done meal and mesh food just has no flavor to begin with. On the other hand, I can't fly in RL no matter how hard I flap my arms. It's a balancing act.

Is there a reason I would have heard of these people?

I prefer text over voice, hands down. Text does not have background noise. There are no mic glitches killing half the words. And if I'm in a business meeting with people with really different accents all trying to understand my Midwestern American, things just get confusing.

Not too often but there is one neighbor I would regularly IM when a certain maker of automated vehicles would have stuff stuck on his land and if a neighbor was building I would offer to put him on my land access in case he had to come on my land to adjust something. In general it has worked out pretty well but most of the time I rarely see my neighbors. But I've had some that made me appreciate security globes and derendering.

Don't give them any ideas.

Aren't malls just big, empty buildings with "Condemned" signs plastered on them where people used to shop before Ebay and Amazon?

Harry Truman.

Half the fun of Thanksgiving is eating in a restaurant and not having turkey. When people hear that they turn all purple and steam comes out of their ears. The other half is going home, taking a nap and not watching football. But best of all is avoiding family like the plague.

Oh I hope not.

There is good cheap land to be had if you take the time to look for it and you don't have to put up with a covenant once you have it. The best way is open the map, click land for sale and then go look at the parcel you are interested in.

I would enjoy seeing a return of inworld stores rather than MP. I infinitely prefer seeing a product inworld than as a picture on marketplace.

I'm seeing a lot of building on areas that used to be empty so the idea that mainland is suffering a Bellissaria effect is probably utter nonsense. It is probably just people not wanting to pay the prices for waterfront land and the sellers not wanting to be stuck paying tier so they are lowering their prices.

As of now, I see nothing being offered with the premium plus that would be of sufficient value for me to go for it. I have a perfectly good last name, no need to worry about that. I have 0 interest in Bellissaria, no need to care about that except it would nice if the moles could do a little work for the rest of the grid. I don't sell on Marketplace, so no concerns there. I was a little annoyed when they jacked the price of premium but I'm still paying less per annum than I was before the tier reduction a couple years back, so no big deal even though I got nothing of value from it, not having any use for more groups under the best of circumstances. What is coming down to is not only the bottom line for lab (and we have no idea how much money they are losing with Sansar, I doubt it is turning a profit for the lab) and the bottom line for the individual member. What is a new name really worth for people no matter how much they may want one? It's going to be fun to see how it works out.

I have used the thomas conover orb for a number of years now. It is easy to set up and use. I've yet to hear a complaint about it crossing property lines. As far as having friends rez, simply set the land to allow everyone to rez. If you are already blocking unwanted visitors you should not have many problems with you place being littered and if you should they are easily returned.

I would certainly use it if I were entertaining, so to speak.

It's very simple. Will what the premium plus offer of value to justify the increased cost to the consumer. I can only speak for myself. Extra tier free land would be nice but is the cost less than merely increasing my existing tier? An increased stipend is nice but would it be enough to balance the membership cost increase? More groups, who cares. Not worth what I'm paying now. Last name? I have a perfectly good last name. There is no need to change it. Priority for a home in Belli (meaning not having to deal with the impossible situation they created that now exists for the people who want one)? No thank you. I don't like Belli one little bit, neither the architecture nor the covenant. If you want a home in Belli you don't have me to compete with. So, unless the Lab comes up with some sort of very good deal, I can't see going the premium plus route.

I have a pickup truck in my inventory already. I think it is more that men just don't buy as many outfits. We find something we like and don't change it very often which means there are not as many designers for men's clothing and avatars because the market is not there. Of course the Hello Kitty thing did not help much if you wanted to attract men. (Really, I took one look at the announcement and went YUCK!) 4WD mud racing would be much better.
