Catchy headline, huh? I was just wondering, in my pre-deployment way about SL. Just for topic of discussion, lets compare the DeBeers Cartel and diamond trade, with the Land Vultures(barons), and land trade inside sl! Have fun!

Well, I don't think land barons in SL have a policy of full rectal searches of all employees after work shifts.

LOL ok this has to be one of the strangest weeks in SL, ever! Thank you for such a great post. I would further add that on the current Kanye West album, there is a song called "Diamonds from Sierra Leone". The web domain for Sierra Leone is .sl - coincidence? I think not.

Connections, synchronicity, it's all in here somewhere.

Points that seem unrelated... soon come together like drawing two circles on opposite sides of a piece of paper, and folding that paper in half.

Sometimes, the best conspiracies are out in the open, the ones you can brazenly state and hardly anyone will pay attention. :)

Go SLuminati go!

Heeeheee, Love the random postings, but to wander back towards target, to me seems like Debeers, and our Land Vultures in game have the same operating principal, enforced scarcity at any cost.


Not only THAT, but one of the biggest Land Vultures in-game hails from England, where a big part of the DeBeers corporation operates. Conspairacy...I think NOT! :)

Anyone remember that post where someone said they were going to hire out the neverland team as hookers, but based on which one would take it in the ******? That was the funniest post I ever read :)

Wait... you mean that was employment related?? <HUFF> certainly explain why I didn't even get a kiss afterwards!

I just thought he was from an area that considered *that* activity "foreplay" and was busy making another land deal and forgot...

:rolleyes:

Obviously I don't disagree, so your point is?

It was Unhygenix's post, and it was the Bedazzle team :) It was lost to a deleted thread awhile back, I believe. It was probably the funniest, most random post I have ever seen here, I completely agree.
