Possible spoiler:
[EDIT: Oh, then there's this, which was presumably that to which Nika referred: , a plan for which selection of the Money Guy might best aim for the, uh, "positive-sloping side of the curve."]


I'm glad our 'imput' was useful then ... but is it now?

If I had 15 million dollars to spend I don't think it would be on a computer game, to be honest.

Yay! I got named in a thread header! Which is against the rules.

"Forum Guidelines
Private discussions – the forums are a public area for the Second Life community’s use. Individuals who have a dispute with each other have other channels of communication to discuss their differences or communicate – private messaging, IM within Second Life, or chatting within Second Life. Also, threads that are addressed to a single individual or group are inappropriate on the forums, this includes slander or "naming names" in a posts title, starting polls about a particular resident or group, etc."

Stop airing your grievances in public. Send a PM. It will keep you from getting banned.

As far as traveling in the same circles, I'm sure your circle folk are far more affluent and intelligent and are much more in the know than mine. But I prefer to run around with the riff raff who try their best to be kind and help people, which is what this forum exists to do.

You can AR a person for trolling here, but I won't bother.

/me waves to Raymond and Nika. Two of my favorite people on here.

Jamil - seriously, what's wrong with you? This thread flies in the face of good business practices. It doesn't matter what your differences with other posters are, this is the sort of thing you keep silent about because it hurts you in the long run. If you don't know when to keep your cards face down, then you have no chance at all. I'm not flaming, just offering a little advice.

If there's any of that peach left, I'll have a slice along with a cup of coffee, black. Wow. Pie for breakfast. How decadent!

Yeah, his plan might be flameproof, his manners aren't. ;)

I hope this knucklehead does get banned...calling out two of the more helpful and friendly posters in this forum, for shame...

Also if he/she is such a big time player, wth are they doing asking for advice from the unwashed masses here? Why announce their grandiose plans in a forum? For that matter, why invest that kind of jack in SL? Shenanigans I say. This troll is so full of crap his/her eyes are brown.

Can I have a peanut butter cookie with a big glass of milk?

I actually believe pie for breakfast is a wonderful and perfectly logical thing. Pastry and fruit--right up there with all the other more common breakfasts. My favorites are the berry pies. Great. Now I'm hungry. :)

Ahh so this is not only a directed personal attack against 2 forums posters, but a reposting?


Cool.


Even better than that - it's an attack on 2 forum members in the form of a reposting of a thread that was originally an attack on Strife. That's got to be worth extra points!

hehe so when this business bursts upon the world in all its stunning glory, maybe ima send these threads to his VCs, I'm sure they'll be overjoyed.

Oh and hey Jamil, better to go to a real VC and not a hedge fund manager. They get cold feet really fast, compared to someone whose whole business is solely seed and series A.

Good luck to you!


Does Jamil have the Victoria Cross? That's pretty impressive! My great-grandad got that too.

And even that original post was referencing a closed thread. Double extra points.

Er, I'll have a coffee, black with sugar, a tea, with milk, no sugar, a diet pepsi, and some ginger cookies.

And hey, I met our giant hedgehog in the garden yesterday evening....he went...hiding in the shrubbery...

Actually, I would, but not in the way of investing in an existing one but rather in the way of using the source code and making a better and more stable clone world. The way grid experience has been these last weeks, I think a lot of people would go for that...

Probably going to be locked for trolling, and naming names Not being a question, Personal Conversationand generally violating just about all the forum regs.

Accepting that you have a Legitimate Personal Beef with these two people I still have to ask, Why the rest of us Need to hear it?

Angel.

ok - on a serious note - I start a thread asking people to nominate those who have done really beautiful and wonderful things in SL and I got AR'ed for it. This thread somehow remains open. Not complaining, since this thread is turning into solid gold, but I am considering sulking a little.

ok. I'm over it.

Do you want sex now?
