It is a nice sunny day so everything is outside.
You gotta try out that piano, remember the sound clips are only 10 seconds long and doesn’t miss a beat.

Information continues to trikle out of the Land of NoR community. Yesterday:
The Purchase ticket submitted

The ticket to purchase Remembrance has been submitted and the others who were going to take over a sim have been informed in IM.
Lets hope this goes without much issues and Ill be building Remembrance somewhere next week.

Frustrating but, I don’t know what the roll back last week was about. That we have a roll out to the main channel this week is surprising. But, we do.
The main channel is to get a new package. This has:
Neither of these functions are appearing in the wiki yet.
Blue Steel, La Tigre, and Magnum are to get the same new package. This will apparently be the package that retries the internal fixes to improve inventory performance.
Civil people often forget how many abusive and sick people there are in the world. Haters, liars, and schemers are everywhere. We see them in Second LifeTM. It appears they have struck at the NoR team. But, it is hard to sort out drama. Amid the memorials for NoR players passing in RL and the confusion over the loss of 9 regions we hear:
Update…

We lost Candygurl Bing… Apparently a LL ticket was submitted Against Candy in regards of fraud and LL blocked her account. Though this is easily debunked, With the constant BS being spread on every possible occasion of staff being corrupt she decided this was the last drop, resigned and will not fight her LL block.
We however, will continue with the procedure to transfer Remembrance to me, with the odd chance LL will block me as well. Donations so far have been transferred to NoRBank just in case.

We don’t have trials in Second Life or rules of evidence. The Lab looks at complaints and makes the best call they can with the limited time and information they have. It isn’t life or death… so, support people can lose touch with the individual emotional impact on players. It is another example why many of us believe small communities are better. Large government and other bureaucracies are insensitive to individual situations and needs.
Unless you know the people, you have little chance of knowing who is telling the truth. What we decide to do with what we hear reveals our nature. Pick a side? Judge? Give up and ignore it all…
Finding a positive and caring position is often challenging. Not so much because it is difficult. But, our personalities, ego’s, biases, and prejudices get in our way and we jump to conclusions rather than think or search for the truth.
Lost Eden is a meeting hook up place for adults. They recently asked for help supporting their region.

We’re perhaps the most popular, chattiest , and friendliest group in SL and we’re none commercial and volunteer staffed. We totally rely on you, our members and friends, to help support Eden by donating to the Apples Donation Jars all over the sim. We can’t survive if we don’t cover our tier and we are very down this month so please, please… do donate and visit Eden and give it your support buy from the shops to help support us, but above all donate.
Staff and Managment of Eden rely on your kindness and help
