From: Chas Connolly Of course you can be snotty, but do try to be snotty and accurate. Being inaccurate tends to make snottiness look a little silly. Just a friendly tip. i was very very accurate lol people busy flaming me for it in fact cause i didn't go along with the trolling side because it was not a trolling opening post

From: Chilly Charlton
NO LL has NOT ceased my islands. They simply continue to take tier from my USD account LONG after I have asked them through all channels if they will buy them back or give several months free rent to re-tool them since they were purchased for purpose of something they ADVERTISED was something they could be used for.
I buy a shop, where there is also a ground rent for maintenance for the mall, and start to sell wigs. One day the selling of wigs is made illegel. I have to either come up with somthing new or sell the shop. The mall owners are under no obligation to buy back the shop or even respond to my request. As for the freezing the rent, they still have the cost of mall maintenance. But i agree they could have had the decency to send you a polite "get F**ked" letter.

From: Wilhelm Neumann read it again lol apparently i am saying LL took away his islands and he doesn't have them anymore and please dont tell me that is not what he said i said ...
He HAS the sims up for sale i went there the other day and they are all up for sale except for the first main sim so he is selling them or renting them or whatever you do with private sims the issue here is not the money as he has repeatedly stated its THE PRINCIPLE. So does he have them or does he not have them? It's all hairsay, I say...

But seriously, Chilly is just another victim of thinking LL owes him anything more than a place to play. Between this and Ginko everyone should have realized that this is just a game where you can talk with real people who can lie about anything they want with little or no consequence. If you take this too seriously you end up with a group of islands and no where to grow your hair crops!

Chilly you've lost the plot. Yes LL should have offered you free tier for a month or so to compensate you for the overnight ban. That would be good customer service, but they had no obligation to do so and they chose not to.
Yes it could happen to any of us, those ridiculing you would be singing a different tune if it happened to them.
However, you've gone off the radar with your "Be Evil" message, get a grip man!

From: Wilhelm Neumann read it again lol apparently i am saying LL took away his islands and he doesn't have them anymore and please dont tell me that is not what he said i said ... He says he still has them. There's a parcel in his picks listed in Tyta, 1712 sq m, L$50,000 - which I make at over L$29/sq m. Region "Extreme", not for sale but nothing but campers and signs complaining about the gambling ban. Region "Lag Free" (as if), for rent $450 a month. Region Sweet Leaf, 1/2 a sim L$64000 a month rental ($237?). That's probably a large part of the answer of "why the land isn't selling". Broccoli

OMG so now you're telling me that hair grows on TREES?? My mother's last words, were, in fact, "Hair doesn't grow on trees, dear. Make sure you save every last hair just in case you need it." Boy, was SHE wrong!

From: Wilhelm Neumann yup they are on a roll.. this time i dont see why though usually it makes sense mostly.. Neither do I. Perhaps because many here despise casinos and camping. I will say though, Chilly was not a theif as far as I know. Ive had run ins with him and he seemed like the kind of guy who was about having fun and did not want to see anyone go dirt broke by gambling on his islands. I have not read through everything here but his Original Post seems to be more focused on the fact LL will not even give him any solid answers or work arounds, instead continue to ignore him and take a tier fee. I can empathise because similar things have happened to me. I thought things would be better with the new Customer service routes but nope, I have open tickets sitting there from weeks ago.

From: Chilly Charlton This is about FRAUD and really has reached a personal level.
You almost had me there for a bit Chilly but no more. You've proven to me this has nothing to do with poor service or lack of fun or whatever. You made a bad business decision and you're refusing to accept responsibility for it. I'm taking a risk quoting from an internet site but I don't have a legal dictionary around the house. Here's pretty much all the definitions I found: "Under common law, three elements are required to prove fraud: a material false statement made with an intent to deceive (scienter), a victim’s reliance on the statement and damages." You may have the second or third part but you don't have the first. You'd have to prove that LL made those statements with the INTENT to deceive. I doubt that was the case and doubt you could prove it in the unlikely event. What did LL do? They made a bad business decision allowing gaming in SL. What did you do? You bought into that bad decision. Two parties made bad decisions and both are suffering financially for it. Nothing new there. It really is time to move on....the hair posts are at least funny. BTW, the "BE EVIL" crap is annoying as hell.

I agree with Carl, talk to a real life lawyer. Contrary to what it seems most people who posted believe; You haven't done anything illegal. Linden Labs is exchanging Lindens for cash, not you, or the other casino owners. Lindens was/is play money UNTIL it left the "game" as real life money.
