Land Barons, Land Prices and The Effect On SL

Feel free to "see it" anyway you like. But the fact remains that you are not the one one being poked at. I posted a serious topic and it was made light of.



Thanks, Dad. I'll take it to heart.

You know, I don't even care about your reply. You can tell Jaunai to take a flying fuck for all I care. What irritated me is not your reaction, but Saint Cocoanut's admonishment of everyone else. As far as not being the one poked at, I have been poked at plenty - you have great points, many of which I agree with, you just often seem to descend into calling someone clueless/stupid as a retort, which doesn't do much to help. Jauani is horribly sarcastic - sometimes I want to drop a nuclear bomb on him. However, instead of just going "waah quit being mean, STFU", prove him wrong. Inside of his sarcasm was a valid point - that much of what you are attributing to market control is simple supply and demand that would exist regardless of who was in the land market. Forums, by their nature, require a thick skin and not taking everything personally. His saying congratulations on discovering supply and demand was hardly some horrific insult.

My comedy sensor is going off.

It amuses me greatly that someone, who's presumably an adult would run off to Mommy & Daddy Linden to report that the mean, mean DogSpot insulted them and hurt their feelings.

The fact that someone would do that says more about this alleged community than anyone's post could.

I really do find it amazing that someone would resort to grade school tactics to "punish" me.

Whoever did this, grow up. This is the internet, not some genteel parlor where everyone is always nice to each other.

Because there is a liquid market for land, if you set your land for sale, somebody will buy it. If you want to get out quick, set the price low and your land will be bought up by a land baron, sometimes within fifteen minutes.

If there were no land barons, then you'd either have to release your land for nothing, or wait until somebody wants it. When you decide to move, do you want to wait for weeks until somebody is ready to build on your land in order to get any value out of it?

Besides, I like having a lot of land to choose from.

P.S. I only dabble in land barony, I don't make any money at it.

I would advise you in a very friendly manner to listen to what Cristiano wrote above. Believe it or not, he is one person who has a lot of wisdom and I personally try to think very carefully on whatever he writes.

I take you to task for acting holier than thou and taking other people to task in the first place. By the way, where was the provocation for this condecending statement?



Freshman psych 101 rears its ugly head. I see, it is fine for you to be condescending unprovoked, eh? Again, the end justifying the means.

PS - loss of self-control sounds like a personal problem to me.
