From: Prokofy Neva *rolls eyes*
Everybody was falling all over themselves to get his card, get him in their impromptu group, impress him with their wacky antics, etc. etc. The difference with me is that I pointedly complained about his game tools in public to his face. Most people would be in "worship mode," not me. That's why I'm not FIC. . Yes... you're so cool. Why do your posts read like an episode of Degrassi Junior High? |

From: someone I told you he was a member!!! Not only has he had a conversation with Phillip, but other Lindens as well!! And he has their cards, and their teddy bears. . . . i dont have them. . . he is feted! Tang, Standing in a giant alphabet soup of name tags on an oil rig in the middle of the water in ANWR while Den Spiel Koenig lands and makes a Visitation, and shouting into the void along with dozens of other players isn't what I would call a "conversation". Really. It's not. It's a lot of scrolling text winging by with 10 different convos as once and who knows what is heard or not? In fact, I couldn't really be sure Philip actually read what I wrote until I tested the waters by saying "God, who do I have to sleep with to get that land next to Ben Linden's airplane crash site!" And Phil said, "I don't know Prokofy P." Gasp. Gosh, should I like...not wash my Internet for a few days because it was touched by Phil?? I don't have any teddy bears. And I have only the most low-end Linden cards, nothing scarce, just maybe one of my personal favorites. P.S. I love being insufferable. It provides such an efficient mirror for those who I find insufferable on the forums : )

From: someone Oh please... you love our insufferableness. No, I record it and fight it. I will confess that I was standing on Ravenglass Island last night with an architect planning a tower, and suddenly a big cube came tumbling out of the sky and fell on the water right near us. It was a cube that had the SL logo on it with that Hand of Fatima or whatever Masonic weird thing that hand is supposed to be. I clicked on it, my heart beating, thinking: at last, the game gods are talking to me. They are dropping a Linden Card dispenser pour moi to be set on my property -- at last! Or...it's a special thingie of some kind the game gods are awarding me for...oh, I dunno, brilliance in suburban planning lol? It even had physics on it! Then I clicked on it and found it was just some kid's prim from some war or something. Feh. I'm so gullible!

You need to stop expecting some kind of reward for what you do... Just do what you want and have fun! That's the reward. |

I guess for me. Not being a prim hugger as the term is. I see a real problem with land use management. It sucks to buy land among trees, build an nice house. And then Hvae the enighboor build a shopping center next door. If people had more understanding of desing it would not be so bad. But the whole notion of " I have 512 surare meters, so I am going to build on every corner of it" is silly.. and produces ugliness.
This would be a problem in the real world, but citites have zoning, offsets, building ispections and planning commissions. The amount of day to day government regulation in our everyday lives is staggering. It would be nice to have such planning here. Wtih land offered for sale as residential, commercial, or recrational or something. I don't know what the answer is..but right now the land use is random and haphazard.

Hey Alby  Jeska and Robin are still very much here on the Forums. Pathfinder has been added to the roster of the Linden family as per the announcement here: /3/ae/39453/1.htmlHe's got a good sense of humor. |

My favorite gadfly. Take that as the compliment it was intended to be Prokofy. I had fun at the hodgepoge rebellion. I suppose I am new enough to the game the when I see Phil Linden I draw a blank. Super-stardom is insignificant to me, unless of course I am the Diva (a girl must have her priorities, Jimmy Choo is mine).
What I got out of the whole expereince was that some people wanted to save the prims, others wanted to overthrow the lindens, and others wanted to save land. It was a remarkable Chaos. Prokofy offered some rational ideas in an effort to build a dialogue over the issue, which is a good thing. I offered my meaningless two cents worth, then proceeded to wander around the protest, while the so called protestors worked out what they were protesting.
Then I was hit on by the members of some revolutionary front who smoked cigars, carried guns, and said charmingly revolutionary things to me (doesn't every girl like to know she smells good?) I managed to preserve my underwear and not expand my courtesan client base above Zero. Though I regret not behaving scandalously before Phil Linden, as it would have made a wonderfully fun story: Linden seen with disreputable blonde.
I came to the conclusion that with a dance ring, raffel box and money ball, the oil rig would be a great place for a one night rave. Guerilla Clubbin'.
That was my take on the whole affair. Granted I did not scathingly attack anyone economic theories, or jump on the insult Prokofy bandwagon (he really is quite charming for a gadfly), but I think my take on this silliness is a good as anyone's. After all, we are all here for entertainment, and the protest at the oil rig was that.
Thank you all for reading this.

News flash: Philip Linden tells the Herald in this comments thread: "Done! We're going to preserve them all." |

Preserving some interesting structures is one thing, but I hope the Lindens don't extend this to "preserving" everything else on the new continent, which could be implemented with these kind of crappy ideas:
* No terraforming. the island flat look is definitely in this season,and for ever (No matter how good YOUR ideas are)
* No building outside of a zoned theme. Who cares what you dreamed of, here's what WE dreamed of
Protect actual items of interest from the Lindens? Yes
Lock down all the land from terraforming and creative builds? No

Its actually a primrig, not an oil rig. Thats why there are prims coming out of the rig on the conveyor belt. I'm guessing it was along their idea of a theme of where all the prims we use come from |
