From: Moopf Murray You know it would of been really easy for LL to have nipped all this conjecture in the bud if they'd informed the residents about it at the same time as getting the eBay listing up. I mean, if they're going to offer the development out then it would seem to be in their interests to have informed the community with an announcement of what could be in the pipeline. Instead it took somebody to stumble upon it and all the conjecture to roll on before a Linden actually said anything concrete.
Sometimes I wished LL would get some class. Apologies Moopf - honestly I made the judgement call about not posting the listing thinking that residents would feel "marketed" or "advertised" to. I'm fairly sensitive to not plying my wares in community forums  In hindsight I could have posted it as a For Your Information. Thanks for the feedback. Wilder Linden |

From: Eggy Lippmann You heard wrong. Please have some class and don't spread silly rumors about other people and groups in the forums. Hi Eggy - Orginally there was discussion about selecting a developer beforehand and Bedazzled was considered. David was going from information that was correct at the time. Wilder Linden |

We need to know how to integrate our products and strategies to align with what LL is doing!

Wilder Linden You know Wilder, I don't understand why you wouldn't of posted it if it was always going to be "out for bid" to the community. I mean, why not involve them if they're the ones you're going to expect to want to bid for the work and support what you've sold? |

Wilder Linden OK, can you educate us a bit on timing here please, just for complete transparency, because this has all been as clear as mud up to now. I take it when you first posted the island for sale you were not going to offer it out, and this position has changed since the listing was made? |

If there is a next time then you can bop me on the head. Thanks Moopf |

Wilder Linden Could have, would have, should have.... stop saying these and DO it. Do you folks not realise that every 'oops' is one more shred of credibility gone?

Instead of trying to guess how the community would feel...why not ask?  One or two of us have been known to have an opinion.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet since my ADH...what are we talking about...oh yeah...well here:
Currently it is my understanding the most accounts one family can have is 5? That means same residence listed. Currently this auction offers 10?!?!?!
I can understand this and think it has potential in some situations but might be better suited as a offer from the actual website (read as wedding package, group discount, etc.) that way large groups that want to buy an island and give the acounts to staff, family, etc could do so.
