Has a Linden visited my build ...?

I logged on this evening to notice a message from my security script telling me that a certain well known Linden visited my castle (name withheld for obvious reasons). I cannot believe anything I have done would be of interest to the big guys, but perhaps he was out for an afternoon walk ... or do you think someone is messing with my script ...

It makes me feel nervous because my instinctive reaction is to think I have messed up somewhere and perhaps inadvertently fouled up the TOS ...

Is this normal SL paranoia ... :D

We have all been watching you actually, and were not amused.... =P




kidding of course =) Lindens are out on the grid, take it as an honor that you attracted one. The real trick is catching one. As their pelts bring big money in WOW.

The buyout for Philip's codpiece is astronomical.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Do Not Want!!


Though I suppose I can see how it could hold value for some.

At one point we had plans to catch them and keep them in cages at the hangout. But sadly, nothing came of it.

I find that odd, because I've never noticed a Linden show up on my radar, even when I'm standing right next to one. Maybe they can turn whether they show in scans on and off.

They can. It's one of those sekrit admin options.

I've had the same Linden alternatively show up and not show up on my land scanner at different times.

but you can still see their green dot on the mini map and reg map :)

Sometimes, they do go shopping and do other "just resident" things.

Lindens aren't just people. They were put on this grid, for us to worship.

Awww Lexi :(
I don´t have Linden Bears but the wiki might help you with starting a collection. Here´s a list of Lindens that have a bear: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Bear
I think I remember that some of the Lindens have bears at their offices (to take a copy) and others do send their bears when asked nicely in IM. There´s quite some collectors out there that might help you find some bears :) A good starting point might be Zai´s Linden bear collection: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Zai_Lynch/Linden_Bear_Collection

Good luck hunting!

I came home the other day to find part of Jeska Linden's boot abandoned on our land. We returned it and asked for a bear in exchange, but no joy yet.

I had three of them at one of my places during a "disturbance in the grid". None of them showed up in scans or visitor log. They were working.

So... this was XXX Linden checking out your ???? castle during a coffee break.

So ...
Your castle is so good that it's going to be in Showcase
Or
Your castle is so bad it's going to be zapped, and I wanna see it before they zap it.

Does this mean that the Linden's 'God mode' lets them know where anyone is as well as allowing them to hide from us?

Pep (I wonder what else they can do that we can't?)

See where you are.
TP you to them.
Go through you inventory.
Swap it with someone else's.
Put a big wart on your nose.
Read your IMs.
Read your thoughts.
Giggle.

I was visiting the Nautilus lost city when it was first opened to the public and was wandering round when I met one of the Lindens who showed me a secret tunnel network they'd discovered. I felt very honoured.

Lindens have been down to my place at least a couple of times - once to set some abandoned 16m plots adjoining my land so I could buy them and another time to remove a huge griefing structure dropped on land next to mine which overlapped my house.
