Forum Hangout Land Purchased!

where IS that coukoo clock? It's funny, but I'd like to know where it's coming from!

I think it's super cool that we have Oldies like Sobq, Winter, Malachi, et al coming in (if I've forgotten any names, please forgive; I've had 4 scotches and it's past midnight.) It's awesome and rather overwhelming to have them hanging out at our humble little parcel. I taught Mal about the search bar in Inventory today! I was so excited! Thanks ALL for helping out, pitching in, and most importantly, showing up!

I'm not sure who the official point of contact for this should be, so I'll post it here. I just set out a swim ball rezzer by the pier, and a couple jumping dolphins out in the bay. There's only 4 prims total, and I think they're nice additions. Return them if there's a problem. They're no transfer, so I won't be able to deed them to the group.

I also have copy (but no trans) air hockey, skeeball, and whack-a-mole. If you'd like them at the hangout, send me an IM in-world and let me know where you'd like them.

Hmm anyone got that Gesture?

Hey does anyone know if there was a Sim restart when Marty's roof disappeared?
I am asking because a while back ago my groups greenroom had similar issue my friend said it happens sometimes from restart.
Also if you have no transfer or no copy objects and they are returned often the system ask if you really want to do that and when returned deletes.
I recommend instead of returning items ask the members to pick up objects or just tell all of us not to build or place anything if you only want certain few to build.
There been bit of confusion about this.
I haven't built because I figured it was we had to ask permission, while others assume you can put down anything.
I made some Magnolia trees and other flowers. Going to see if I can make more this morning. If I am asked nicely I might show you them and donate them to group
I slept through the underwear party. I was tired.

/me laughs

I put that clock on one of the walls in the clubhouse and, when the walls were put back after their disappearance, it ended up hidden 'inside' the wall.

I've rescued it and moved it so it's above the doorway to the pie room. If it's too annoying please feel free to smash it with hammers!

Ive put the roof back on.... all prims are unlinked and locked so that should stop large swathes of the build dissapearing. Ive got the build in inventory as does Chris and Cherry in the event that something goes a bit "wrong". Im happy to keep throwing it up as many times as it dissapears *grin*. It was a good turnout last night and I had trouble sleeping with images of Chris in his tiger skin thong *eeeek*. Im proud of what we are doing and over all theres a good spirit and vibe in the parcel.

If you NOT part of the forum cartel ... get your arse down there as there has never been such a bunch of miscreants.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to to come to any of us, I think so far we have Raymand and Oryx as land, Mal for landscaping and gardens, Min for furniture, me for building and Chris for dancing in his thong. If you require panties please feel free to speak to brenda *wink*

ohhh yes and Min ... for creating anoying ticking noises that nobody could find

I do ONE thing. And I do it well.

I had a great time at the hangout last night, I felt very welcome.

Ohhhh damn! I'm sorry I missed you.I would have loved to have met you finally.
*Those other clowns I can see anytime* I hope they treated you nice and didn't molest you. Oh wait......

Or Chas, he found some on his land

Glad you all figured it out. I felt so guilty cause I was the only one there while it was slowly disappearing,lol. I just knew the dragon was gonna get blamed again.




I can't believe I missed an underwear party!!!!!!Damn sleep.

Apropos nothing:

An uncle of mine claims to have been on a flight from the Far East to London that did a short stop in Italy.
After the take-off from Italy, the cabin lights came full on and the cabin staff began to serve a breakfast.

A large North American who had been sound asleep woke up, blinked around and snarled loudly and nastily - "Who turned on the fu**ing lights?

A beautiful hostess looked at him and said: "I'm sorry sir, these are the breakfast lights. The fu**ing lights were on earlier but nobody wanted to wake you."

He swears it's a true story.

Now that all we had planned is in place, members can place, and are encouraged to add their contributions to the parcel. By this I mean decorations, not for example 250 prim pianos. I also ask that you try to keep to the general theme and not interfere with the function of the existing bits. Or put more simply, with grace and taste.

You must be wearing your group tag when you place objects and should NOT deed them to group. We have some "house managers" who are allowed and will return items at their sole discretion if they feel they interefere with the use of the hangout or are wildly out of step with the hangout aesthetic. In case you - like me - have poor sense of "aesthetic" I think you could fairly say that the theme is "rustic".

During the intitial build, we implicitly kept things to a small set of builders to keep the area from turning into a junk pile. During that time, members did come to me with "I have this neat thing that I think would go well here"; they were usually correct.

There are also some people who had placed items like swing sets that were returned while we were putting in the Hyperspace Bypass. They are now encouraged to replace those items and ask for accomodation if we have plants (or such) where they need space.

I hope that clears up the confusion. And I thank everyone for their contributions. From the start I thought of this as a "stone soup" project, and last night I was basking in the feeling of how well that worked.

As I had mentioned last night, this idea was the single reason that I had come back in game after a nearly two years' hiatus. I can't thank the Forum Cartel folks enough for having come up with this idea and making it happen.

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of chatting on epistemology in the garden (yes, I'm strange like that) and spending the evening in the warmth of newly found, witty, and kind people at the inaugural party.

I also categorically deny any rumors that I was pole dancing in Calvin pajamas with a Hobbes doll in my hand at last night's party.

I take my place as the Biggest Negative Nancy on this escapade, it really felt it would disintegrate into a huge donnybrook, but you guys are proving me wrong. From Figgie with the land purchase, Oryx and BiPlane boy on the financials, and Chris , marty and Mal and the building crew, it is a wonderful accomplishment. You may make a beliver out of me yet. Pie and Panties for all the Penguins.

Congrats guys! I'm so happy this has worked out well. If I ever succeed in getting inworld again ... !@&*( OpenGL (*&*&)(()) Lenovo .... I'll definitely be hangin' with ya!

Last night we decided that we might want to have a sploder in the roadhouse that ocassionally gave a pie to one present. Of course, in keeping with the gambling ban, people would have to put NO pies in the sploder so that it did not become a game of chance.

We also thought that pies should become the official currency of the Forum Cartel Hangout, displacing the L$ as a fungible medium of exchange ("Oh wow, I love that skirt, can I have a copy? Yes, that will cost you one boysenberry and two apple". So I now sorta question the wisdom of both concepts.

But the general idea was nice.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee, Sideways.

I hope you had your towel with you.

Great place guys good work.

I also did not see the aforementioned, nor was I dancing on tables.

Wow. I was not expecting the land to be opened to object placement so fast. I hope people use good judgement and discretion as far as what they rez and don't get their panties in a wad should something be returned by the house managers...This very lenient policy could spell trouble and exclamations of "who the fark rezzed that annoying crab?"

Chris and I have had a discussion this morning on this. He will be putting together an Official guideline shortly.

For a Negative Nancy, you sure seem to bring nothing but good things and smiles to us anytime you post or show up to the hangout. Without you, this whole forum would be dull and lifeless. *hugs*

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.......
