That's the sweetest thing anyone's said to me this year. :o

God, I actually TP'ed there the other night. Couldn't even tell there was two beachs and water for all the high rises.


It was heaven just for the threads it spawned. :)

The shimmering blue mist of Raymond's dream shifted uneasily, revealing a man and a woman ....

She walked with an unearthly swivel lightly down to the waters edge, turning to face him, laughing, as she stepped backwards into the water. "C'mon...." she purred softly, the deep rose of her french manicure flicking, flicking as her curling fingers beaconed him. He looked up from his book, just in time to catch her shiver as the SL wind picked up, her nipples briefly poking the sheer fabric of her minikini.

"Liome!" he shouted, tossing the book aside...

Another thread derailed by Liome pimping! I can die a happy man now. :)

I will never forget that post...

I still have my Liome renters shirt. Broke my heart to leave there, but saw the writing on the wall so to speak.
After tier, I was making about $1 a day as a resort landlord. I got out while the getting was good. But damn, it was a nice sim while it lasted.

That she was me. Truth be told, Raymond did not throw aside the book despite my perky nipples. Never was, or will be a greater gentleman on the grid.

Liome forever.

Just visited Zindra.

As a mini project (when Zindra first opened for visits), I snapped some pix of the empty land and tried to include coordinates in the pic titles. Later I plan to snap pix at the same locations. So today was a revisit now that some are beginning to buy land and put things on it.

I don't know how the land will evolve but I was depressed tonight to see the very nice town square at Bronlen, with its Washington Memorial-type tower and water and all, marred by a vendor in the middle of a bare lot, with a big picture of labia pointed right toward the tower.

I mean, maybe appropriate in some visually metaphorical sense - but STILL. Tack-ee.

Sigh. The little town park with plastic horsies was so cute, too.

So I really don't know. Oh and there was a bot there already - someone just standing with a titler saying "recruiting" - their av title said slaver. I got a queasy feeling. :/

Yes, it will be interesting to see what the perves develop now that they do not feel constrained (oops) by any sort of normal societal values.

I left the Mainland behind years ago, so Zindra holds little appeal for me. I'm quite happy with my quarter-sim parcel on a private sim, with public access firmly turned off. There is no way that Zindra could offer me the beautiful terrain and privacy and security I enjoy now.

I really hope I don't end up hanging out on this string, but if I do, I am worried about protection for adult activity by people left against their wishes in the new mature.

Just saying keep it indoors is a huge restraint. It's like you'd have to make a box to live in.

I've already made my house's walls into one-way transparent textures and will do the same with my flying swimming pool soon. It doesn't look great from the outside but from the inside it's fine.

Hmm...I just thought of something...why don't I use the big red "A" adult content textures on the exterior of the swimming pool walls?

I've still got my big red A up. :) Yeh, I thought of those one way transparent walls, my lands not big enough, if you moved the cam to wildly you'd end up looking at the outer wall.

I just spent some time touring on my horse over there.....it's cool to see everyone getting set up, and watching it being developed....in spite of the "issues." Some places look really nice.
I change clothes in the middle of crowded PG sandboxes. I use the inventory feature called "Add to outfit". Since nothing is removed there is no nudity, so there is no violation. So, yeah, it's cool. (^_^)y

Who isn't moving to Zindra...?
07-02-2009 07:06
I am not allowed to move to Zindra. No uncatholic things and expressions on my land.

Same with friends - and groupland. Too "clean" actually. We like to be spontaneous and I was just not in a very expressive phase along 2009 so far.

Any future spontaneity and artwork and whatever, will be struggling with forced self-censorship and possible AR hammers or G-Team actions levitating over my SL.

This is, from my view seen, not only a side-scandal.

It is good, that someone opened this thread. Just to show, that there are two major scandals running parallel:

A) The forced swap for many people and B) the forced stucking with crippled "freedom" for many people.

I have applied for a small parcel, with the intention of opening a carrot juice and berkenstock stand.

Oh, and a telescope. Strictly for documenting ARs, of course.

Im disappointed in Zindra. I took advantage of the free swap as soon as I could and moved my home and all my belongings from Moose Beach to Arapaima, Not what I had been lead to believe. No naked people hardly at all ever. Was way more naked people doing unspeakable things to each other at Moose Beach. I just hope I can flick my Home LM for some exorbitant sum of money so I have something to compensate for my disappointment. :D

If I was going to do Adult stuff in SL I'd do it on the Mainland. I always liked my privacy and I rarely see another avatar online on any sim I drop into. And it's getting quieter by the day.


QFT. The mainland I found is very quiet, I almost always have the whole sim to myself, given that I'm surrounded by land for sale at prices that will never sell lol.

Hi Ray, long time no see. :)

If I were to ever want to rent space, , it would not be on Zindra, or any Mainland. I'm not interested in becoming Premium again. I would just rent on an Estate, on a monthly basis.I'm not making any long term commitments to SL, financial or otherwise.

I am not going to budge or changing a thing on my mainland parcels. Nope.

Though, I may turn on damage so i can port Lindens home more dramatically... =P

How about this one?:

From: someone

BRENDA:
I do feel, Ray, that any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must reflect such a divergence of interests within its power-base.
RAY:
Agreed. Chris?
Chris:
Yeah. I think Brenda's point of view is very valid, Ray, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--
BRADLEY:
Or woman.
Chris:
Or woman... to rid himself--
BRADLEY:
Or herself.
Chris:
Or herself.
RAY:
Agreed.
Chris:
Thank you, brother.
BRADLEY:
Or sister.
CHRIS:
Or sister. Where was I?
RAY:
I think you'd finished.
CHRIS:
Oh. Right.
RAY:
Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--
BRADLEY:
Or woman.
RAY:
Why don't you shut up about women, Bradley. You're putting us off.
BRADLEY:
Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Ray.
CHRIS:
Why are you always on about women,Bradley?
BRADLEY:
I want to be one.

RAY:
What?
BRADLEY:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Oryx'.
RAY:
What?!
ORYX:
It's my right as a man.

BRENDA:
Well, why do you want to be Oryx, Bradley?
ORYX:
I want to have babies.
RAY:
You want to have babies?!
ORYX:
It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
RAY:
But... you can't have babies.
Oryx:
Don't you oppress me.
RAY:
I'm not oppressing you, Bradley. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
ORYX:
[crying]
BRENDA:
Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Lindens', but that he can have the right to have babies.
Chris:
Good idea,Brenda. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
RAY:
What's the point?
CHRIS:
What?
RAY:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
CHRIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
RAY:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.


WILLY:
Larks' tongues. Otters' noses. Ocelot spleens.
RAY:
Got any nuts?
WILLY:
I haven't got any nuts. Sorry. I've got wrens' livers, badgers' spleens--
RAY:
No, no, no.
WILLY:
Otters' noses?
RAY:
I don't want any of that Linden rubbish.
BRENDA:
Why don't you sell proper food?
BRIAN:
Proper food?
RAY:
Yeah, not those rich hippie tit-bits.
WILLY:
Well, don't blame me. I didn't ask to sell this stuff.
RAY:
All right. Bag of otters' noses, then.
CHRIS:
Make it two.
RAY:
Two.
CHRIS:
Thanks, Ray.
WILLY:
Are you the Liomean People's Front?
RAY:
Fuck off!
WILLY:
What?
RAY:
Liomean People's Front. We're the People's Front of Liome! Liomean People's Front. Cawk.
Chris:
Wankers.
WILLY:
Can I... join your clique?

RAY:
No. Piss off.
WILLY:
I didn't want to sell this stuff. It's only a job. I hate the Lindens as much as anybody.
PEOPLE'S FRONT OF LIOME:
Shhhh. Shhhh. Shhh. Shh. Shhhh.
RAY:
Schtum.
BRENDA:
Are you sure?
WILLY:
Oh, dead sure. I hate the Lindens already.
RAY:
Listen. If you really wanted to join the P.F.L., you'd have to really hate the Lindens.
WILLY:
I do!
RAY:
Oh, yeah? How much?
WILLY:
A lot!
RAY:
Right. You're in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Lindens are the fucking Liomean People's Front.
P.F.L.:
Yeah...
BRENDA:
Splitters.
P.F.L.:
Splitters...
CHRIS:
And the Liomean Popular People's Front.
P.F.L.:
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
ORYX:
And the People's Front of Liome.
P.F.L.:
Yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
RAY:
What?
ORYX:
The People's Front of Liome. Splitters.
RAY:
We're the People's Front of Liome!
ORYX:
Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.
RAY:
People's Front! C-huh.
CHRIS:
Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Ray?
RAY:
He's over there.
P.F.L.:
Splitter!
RAY:
Yes, brother! Ha ha. What's your name?
WILLY:
Willy. Willy Neumann.
RAY:
We may have a little job for you, Willy.
