Define corruption with respect to the aforementioned scenarios. :)

~Ulrika~

I think it was defined as having an alt join N'burg, thus hiding the fact the controlling person has already joined in the past with a different AV. But that's just my definition of corruption in this regard.

No need to answer. It was a rhetorical question meant to draw attention to euphemistic language used to derail a technical discussion. Wasn't that obvious? ;)

How strange. I have no idea what either Kevn or your posts actually mean. :D

How is it beating a dead horse to discuss possible ways to end the abuse Ulrika guarantees is happening right now?

Is it an issue you would rather not discuss for some reason?

Kevn. You are being disruptive. Go sit in the corner.

Maybe Ulrika is right, this might be a bigger problem than I thought.

Now, what if the alts are so deeply embedded in government that they block any efforts to remedy the situation? Hm....

For the record, Kevn I have 3 alts. NONE of them have anything to do with Neualtenburg in the slightest.

Are they as cute as your Kendra AV? :)

No they're not. They're designed to be as boring as possible so as not to draw attention to themselves so I can get some work done.

Alt #2 is working on it --Can you post a pic of your AV --or send Kendra a snapshot?

No, you never upset me Kevn.

And of course I forgive you.

there would be a minimum and maximum amount of land one must purchase in order to be a citizen, let's say 512 m² minimum and 8,192 m² maximum for a ratio of 16.


Eep! I hope not. One of the things that attracted me to Neualtenburg is that the minimum amount of land one could hold was less. Mostly because it's cheaper, but also because I don't think I really need 2048 m² to feel comfortable. I don't spend all that much time inside my house, anyway, nor do I regularly receive guests.

So I would hope that there is no minimum. (Also, microplots were just recently introduced; these would be worthless for their intended purpose -- enabling someone to gain citizenship without needing to expend much money nor take much land, that would not be built on, away from those who would like to own land for building or prims -- if the minimum were raised from the current effective 16 m².

From: Kevn Klein
I think there should be a maximum amount of land one 'person' can hold. At least when land is scarce.


A maximum, on the other hand, makes sense.

Though whether it's a maximum per person or per alt depends on how well we think we can prevent people from using more than one alt.

(FWIW, I tend to use "alt" as a synonym of "avatar" -- I'd say "I have four alts" or "I have four avatars" rather than "I have an avatar and three alts", for example. With "four" just being an example. After all, not everyone with multiple avatars has a primary avatar and one or more secondary ones; two or more might be equally-used and equally primary.)
