Well finaly we have a correct amount! Glad to see you did your homework. Now explain to me please why I cant make a profit on my land. I am not a land baron, I do not own most of SL. I one a tiny piece in compairison to the land barons. Is it because I am against land barons so that means I must take a voe of poverty? No no no we are talking about two very different things here. If you cant understand that I can't explain it any better to you. Care to know why I am selling it at this price? Well let me tell you why. I am selling it for so much so that the land barons dont profit off it as much as they do other pieces of land by brow beating the owners into selling it for less than its worth. I am charging this price because for the most part I haven't been able to move around Ross due to one land barron. I am selling it for this much because I am surrounded by a sea of forsale signs on land baron property. They want it that bad, they want me out that bad? Buy it. Are we done with this side issue yet?

Catherine, I still have no clue what exactly you are accusing me of. If its another land baron bash, you have sold more land than me and made more profit this month. So yes, you are a bigger baron this month. Congratulations, I have np w/ that. I can assure you that there is no evil conspiracy at work here. If you do have a concern about something that you feel I may be doing, please lets hear it. I may be able to shed some light on the subject. I wouldn't normally even bother to respond to such a well baited thread, but I was named twice and am frankly curious as to what you think has been done to hurt you, or the SL community. Plus, I like a little fishing now and then myself.

LOL so you know how much i made on land this month. tell me where do you get your information? heresay yet again. could my money of been made by busting my ass making objects and selling them? bet it could LOL are you serious you realy need me to spell it out for you. Nice try. The cards are on the table and its not me that has any explaining to do Your a real sweetie aren't you. I dont play those head games with certain groups anymore. I got their number. Please explain to me again how a person can be in the land angles and the sl business group again? They stand for two entirly different things. I find it amusing that some knowing joined certain groups that they knew they would profit from. Yet they have the utter nerve to proclaim innocence. Its pretty damn easy to steal a cookie, when you own the jar. Its so honestly amusing what some would like us to believe when the facts are right in our faces.

Hey, am I drunk or something? LOL. Must be the wrong movie. This chick comes here to flame people who give away land for free. Then the hell she is caught buying and selling half a sim for a 100% profit and says she is not a land baron. ROFLMAO.
WOOOT! WAY TO GO!
Gotta grab a coffee. LOLOLOL.

Land baron MO when your losing a debate start attacking the person who has you by the balls. FYI I just put the land up this morning. Funny how all the sudden its huge news huh? Did you even take the time to read my post? My reason for the price? NO. So your a what? Troll. Do me a favor unless you have something on topic to say dont post. your wasting my time. Those in these groups do this all the time. Try something new for gods sake.

From: Catherine Cotton LOL are you serious you realy need me to spell it out for you. Nice try. The cards are on the table and its not me that has any explaining to do  . Yes. I have asked three times now. And why are there cards on the table? From: Catherine Cotton Please explain to me again how a person can be in the land angles and the sl business group again? They stand for two entirly different things. . Reread the charters. And...I missed you at all the meetings, how do you know what they stand for? Heresay? From: Catherine Cotton I find it amusing that some knowing joined certain groups that they knew they would profit from. Yet they have the utter nerve to proclaim innocence. . Catherine, with 100% honesty, I can say that I have never made $1L off either group. The groups were created but I have yet to see a meeting or anything come of it. I don't even think either group has had a group IM yet. LOL From: Catherine Cotton Its pretty damn easy to steal a cookie, when you own the jar. . Not too sure what cookies have to do with this. But where I come from, thats called eating a cookie. From: Catherine Cotton Its so honestly amusing what some would like us to believe when the facts are right in our faces. Agreed, this is amusing.

Agreed, this is amusing. So if this doesn't apply to you why are you so hot to defend your affiliation with both groups? Can you prove you never made a profit? How can you say your helping newbies with getting land yet your in a group that clearly states that they are out for pure profit? This isn't about me, its about those who have thier fingers in everyones pockets.

Claiming ignorance of the groups charters that these ppl joined isn't going to cut it this time. They know what groups they belong to and they know why they belong to them.
If they are so ignorant to these things then why on gods earth is LL about to let them manage all the land in sl?
"Oh am I making a profit off my land giggle i think i added one to many 0's now everyone forgive me too, cus I am just as sweet and innocent as these ppl."
Oh please. PPL are not fricken stupid and for anyone in these groups to claim innocence is an insult to those who read these forums.
The party is over.

From: Catherine Cotton So if this doesn't apply to you why are you so hot to defend your affiliation with both groups?. You listed my name, twice. I am a member of both groups. I am just trying to figure out what great injustice has been done. Perhaps if you could share with me the great wrongs being commited, I would resign. From: Catherine Cotton Can you prove you never made a profit? I have made profits in SL. I hope to make much more. Never from affiliation from either of these groups. Neither of us can prove/disprove that. From: Catherine Cotton How can you say your helping newbies with getting land yet your in a group that clearly states that they are out for pure profit??. I said it before, I will say it again. Reread the charters. Plus, who better to help people aquire land, than people with land? From: Catherine Cotton This isn't about me, its about those who have thier fingers in everyones pockets. Once again I am confused. You have listed peoples names, and implied some great injustice. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WRONG?I think you may be the only one who sees it. /me puts on tin foil hat.

You are not a child, you know what the facts are as stated above. I will not play this little head game of repeating everything I have said a dozen times for your/your groups amusment. The facts remain. "who better to help ppl aquire land, than people with land?" Translation. Hi I am in the land angels group and i will trade you your very nice 512m2 parcel for a realy crappy 1024 m2 parcels where the land sucks and the sim is so laggy i cant unload it. Oh that 1024 isn't what you wanted? Well that is ok I have this other plot now its a little bit more but you can go get some cash from the GOM. I will even hold it for you till you get the money. Cus I'm a nice guy. (EDIT the land that they are sold is of course that of a land barons group member) Thats it in a nut shell, are you now going to claim ignorance of the forums too? Yeah I want these ppl running all of LL land. NOT

I donated very nice land in Thams... I have not had an event yet, but will soon. No money has been made. I doubt if any will be made. SOme of us may be making money doing other things (not me by the way) but isn't there a thing in RL called philanthropy??? Seems that this would work the same way. People who are successful - give back to the community in some way. It obviously is not a way that everyone approves of, but that is the way it goes. To drag a group through the mud just seems wrong. You said in an earlier thread that you weren't doing that - that you weren't referring to me... etc. I apologized for my response. I have been reading all day this vitriole and once again find myself wondering what is up with you?

Hi Catherine, I see your concern as I was questioning Dek's motives for joining this group. He had explained to me that his only reason for joining was because he was sent an invite and an explanation of what the groups "intentions" were. Although, it sounded convincingly legit...he has yet to had heard anything from the group or has made any plans with them. He has been away for RL issues. But, I do talk to him regulary and I can assure you he has not made a profit nor has he traded any land. Huggerz, MJ P.S. Cat please don't sell your island! I know that they are making it difficult but you have done such a wonderful job there and it is a wonderful contribution to the SL community during this season. At least keep it until the holidays are over. Please.

I am sorry if that fact isn't clear by the above listed information. These ppl can claim ignorance all they want, the facts are there they have their fingers in everyones pie. Why is this concept so hard to understand for some. I find it ironic that I hear no profits, after all these months of hearing in the forums nothing but how much they profit. I find it ironc that they say there is a different meaning to a charters that are very straight forward. I find it very ironic that with all this very important information being release ppl choose to shoot the messenger. Now ask your selves who is holding the gun and who is supplying the bullets.

From: Catherine Cotton One plot of land does not a land baron make. Besides do you know how much US $ I paid for my land? No. Do you know if I am making a profit? No.
Therefore your listening to heresay and not to fact. They are good at side tracking issues like this. Been there done that.
I put my lot up for sale for my own reasons. Apples and Oranges.
Selling one plot is not nearly the same.
Now this has been an interesting side track to the discussion but is not the topic at hand. I have heard a lot of hype but these ppl dont have a leg to stand on.
Cat One plot? I seem to recall months ago you had a parcel in Grigano I believe going for 180000and it was 512 meters or less...

Especialy when they try to squirm out of cold hard facts. Its all public knowlege I just brought it to attention. As for my land if they want me out bad enough so be it. There isn't anything that I have done but defend what is immoral or just plain wrong in SL. I am just at a point today with my eyes wide open seriously wondering why the hell I keep fighting what appears to be a losing battle. If LL backs this crap, well I just dont know. Cat

From: Talen Morgan One plot? I seem to recall months ago you had a parcel in Grigano I believe going for 180000and it was 512 meters or less... 180.000 for 512m2 what sucker bought that? Best check your facts I dont think even an idiot would believe that one. Oh you mean back in July when all land was going for big bucks. Which plot? How much did I sell it for? was it 1800 maybe? Again heresay, rumor, lie. Take your pick. Why do you constantly hound my threads and me? Talen Morgan member of Neualtenburg group member (for govt in SL). Something I have been against.

I completely understand your frustration because I too feel the same way about the majority of land barons. However, I am in love with one of the land barons (no secret) so out of loyalty I would like to note some of the good things I have seen him and his partner do. 1. Give out free land in raffles. 2. Only price land at the current land sale price. 3. Has took back land at the same price it was sold from newbs that didn't realize they had to upgrade their teir. Whereas I have seen other barons agree to buy back at more than what they sold. 4. When a buyer wants to buy a huge plot but doesn't quite have enough money, he will sell half and hold the other half until they can buy it. 5. When he realizes that a newb is interested in buying land from him and they haven't bought land before...he lets them know of their option to buy "first land". These are just a few of the things that are good that I have seen from hanging out with a land baron. I'm not defending some of the tactics that have been used by others and it disturbs me greatly. Seeing how alot misunderstand my SL bf and catergorize him, I can't help but keep an open mind about others. Although some of them, I do know for a fact are dirty, evil little land barons and you know who you are. Huggerz, MJ

As for anyone else with any more to say...
I presented the facts. Its called a monopoly.
There are group members who now are in a position where they not only hold all the cards they know what hand your holding as well. They have status in being a land baron, they have officer status in land angels group, they have status in Neualtenburg which is trying to form a user supported gov't in sl. There are direct links with some members to the GOM. Zeppi and Januani are both in a group called Le Cadre whos charter is "The Power Structure"
When ever I see something that gets my attention I always think "what could happen in the worst case senerio" then I hope for the best.
I cannot in good faith take anyone word that they are in these groups and completly ignorant of its charter or turn a blind eye to what they know its officers are doing.
Its a monopoly, I cannot make it any plainer than that.
I ask that you start questioning things that are happening SL. It might be great right now but what happens next week?
Its your world, time to muster up some guts and take it back.

woooo there!
lets back up and look at these "facts"
So your telling me the land angels are for a FACT making profit? did you consider land tier cost and paying for that?
Is it a fact that peoples names in a group changes anything? these people IF doing bad things, don't require a group to do so...
your main point is that land traders are gathering together to form a network of land traders that can have the resources nessessary to provide players with double their linden provided land at little to no additional cost?
and your against this?
the new players who own their land for landless land and trade it have plenty of choices I would think. They don't have to sell or trade. Any land aquired could be resold by them for more than their 512 was likely worth.
it is possible for the new player, the land trader, and LL to all make a profit and come out ahead, with none being screwed or evil?
but in reality there is no way to prove anything so all that is happening is accusations and nothing will get accomplished except this page shut down

hon your reading into the groups way too much
I know plenty of people who trade land not in the group. The land traders compete with eachother which drives land prices down. The prices for land are lower then ever right now. Can you at least wait till the sky is falling before you run around squaking? I will agree that there is a potential for a monopoly but that would take their full cooperation and intent. Something that won't likely happen.
