i see it as a great line of dots and the info said there were 81 people in the region this morning on minimap it doesn't show the stacks..maybe thats why, since they are in such close proximity it would only look like a few.. the normal map though... shows stacks until the end of the world =P _____________________

If you just look at the mini map the pool is far enough away that I didn't see it at the landing point. Only because I was looking for them did I go to the big map to find them. They definitely knew what they were doing when they set this up. <Insert a zombie joke here. I'm still too sleepy to match any of the wit posting here now> _____________________

Rene: How did you only see a few green dots?....the pool of zombies is clearly displayed on the map as a blob of green dots. You don't see the line of dots on Mini-map.....you do however on the main Map.......so i clicked on that stack and ended up standing on top of the pond which they were located in. This morning there were only 8-9 AV's.....after reading this thread, I saw loads, could well have been 70-80 AV''s on the sim.....didn't count to be honest, i found the reason why yesterday's traffic was 105k...so was satisfied with that! |

Wow this sim has certainly gained notoriety.....not only are we talking about it here on this forum but a photo similar to ones seen here earlier has appeared on page 15 of this week's Avastar!!
To be honest i'm not sure how much good farming traffic this way does for the image of that business? With all the negative publicity taking away the focus from showcasing their products. It might be that these skins are actually quite good! Who knows....but i don't think this is the best way of promoting them! |

I saw this the other day on the land of one of the property rental ad centers.... the owner of this ad center also sells some prefabs and rents out ad space for 1L/wk. I threw a bunch of money at mine and am good for a year... but this was before the owner went to using a big box of campers around 500M in the air. I think it was for her prefab business, but may have been for the ad center. Stuff makes you wonder...

now this is really creepy lol, Im there at the moment, and the lag is really bad!!
I noticed that not one of them moved.. well their eyes blinked, but otherwise zombies,.. what i did pick up on.. was the lack of movement, could they all be under an AO.. doesnt the sl default stand, sometimes put the hand on the hip? all together bizzare down there! edit: so i was there, and standing on the water.. with bradley *waves* and the creator came along and we both get shoved under the water... She almost took my soul!!! but i managed to scramble to safety!! I am a survivor of the lake LOL She did tell me in IM that they get payed to camp down there... |

Maybe it is a memorial to Ira Levin, author of the ''Stepford Wives" who passed away this week?

Mystitool includes an Avie tool to stand on another Avie's head. Using that would probably pop through the barrier.
What's sad is the builder would have saved all the bad PR by just putting an opaque texture over the pod-noobs. No one would have known they were there. |

No one would have known they were there. wouldnt they still have shown up on the map and still bumped up the traffic figure which is what attracted attention in the first place ? _____________________

yes, but no one would have uncovered the evil plot to overthrow the grid using an undead army of Stepford Pods.

it must be for B&B Skins. if you type in Skin Oasis in your search, that place has only 20 traffic count, same sim tho. if LL says it's okay, it must be. they learned how to game the system. i wonder wut their electricity bill is.
(am i allowed to advertise for places i don't benefit from? -ie: name names of businesses)... ???????? |

When I bumped into IsabellaRosa there earlier there were 70 people on the Sim. It was horribly laggy when I first arrived and I don't usually experience much trouble with lag.
She did tell me in IM that they get payed to camp down there... See. Now don't we all feel bad. We're making all these nasty comments and here she's running a charitable operation. _____________________

They were once bright and lively AV's who danced, loved and lived their second lives to the max. Until one day they ventured onto an enticing sim, attracted by promises of $1 goodies by a small man with grey empty eyes. One by one they were led to the pool and pushed into the icy waters. Once at the bottom they scrambled to get out, clawing at the sheer walls - until the man locked his penetrating stare on them. Then he reached into them and took their souls. And now they are doomed to forever stand and stare into the abyss of darkess. Well we got to do something with all these redundant traffic bits when the new search kicks in, push them all into a water filled hole sounds good.  _____________________

Gaybot, do they have Payment Info On File? I'm wondering if someone is using alts to convert $ to $L, a sort of stipend factory. I think you earn way les than $9.95US worth of stipend, so you are throwing money away. _____________________
