New Zindra Blog Post

no, just amusement at finding out that margaret appears to be part of your groups contextual framework.

If you really want an answer to the other question then I suggest you post it as a separate thread and we'll discuss it there.

Personally, I know of exactly 2 people who went to the SL6B, so I don't know that your groups booth was very widely seen. I am not sure that group is even widely known as the chief activity seems to be you trying to hijack threads.

Perhaps so. Many of the residents of Zindra are people who abided by the rules set forth by LL, invested time and money in their property and businesses, and contributed to the fabric of SL. Then, almost on a whim. LL had told therm they have to pack it all up, leave land many have spent many hours forming and customizing for their needs, for in some cases, land that is nothing like what they are giving up. In addition, LL is doing very little to help them, in what many see as an attempt to hide them away from general view.

Some are taking the opportunity to make the best of it, to create something special,so perhaps this is their way of not going quietly into the night. I guess you could call that social activisim of a sort.

Interesting. I'm also intrigued by the reference to "green living," which I'd also like to hear more about at some point. But Couldbe is right . . . I can save those questions for another time. Pace Melodie, I had no intention of "hijacking" this thread; just noting the use of that motto by another group.

Green Living was the LL Buzzword when they officialyl announced the launching of Zindra...I still have no idea what it is supposed to mean, but then again, I find most of what LL says to be an incomprehensible mix of New Age Babble and Snake Oil Selling.

Then ask a Linden. They coined the term for Zindra.

That's something Linden Labs came up with, the "green living" image is from a Linden blog post. So far as I can tell it doesn't go any further than having the Moles design some of the structures based on some architectural drawings of real-life "green" structures.

Edit: (stares at paws, I type too slow)

I knew nothing of the quote being used anywhere else

I think it fits as a statement about community, M.Mead was a ground breaking Anthropologist, she would have found all of SL quiet intriguing, as I do. It was my major in college after all

always one in the bunch

I wont be in world till tuesday

I will participate in the hunt sounds fun

Zindra has cartoon solar powered bus stops.

oh its just something I made when I was bored btw...
its nothing official and so what its a well done quote as it can be seen in many ways

don't get your panties in a bunch SL is supposed to be fun

I am just trying to get a more positive spin for all those dealing with the transitional pains.

no offense taken

Yes, I suspect she would.

And again, I'm not trying to claim ownership of the quote. Use it by all means if it says what you want said.

Maybe the "green" in LL's characterization is a reference to how jealous everyone else is supposed to feel by how well you've all been treated during this move?

too bad then

it was just a snap shot from them

oh well

be bitter

I wont lose sleep over it

If you're interested, the Zindra Alliance group is just about to launch a flag contest. You've got a couple of weeks to get the entry in. When the details come out then if Jago or someone else doesn't post them here I will.

Aww, someone's already written "Coming of Age in Second Life".

It's all but closed. I got my land but it took reaching a live chat linden that cared.

MUCH THANKS TO MAGGIE AND PLEXUS LINDEN FOR THIER HELP AND SPEEDY/OBSERVANT RESPONSES

Maggie helped in walking me around and showing me terraform levels since that was an important concern for me. It was hard trying to judge these things on my own specially lowering land when you can't even rez a prim. She was able to reserve the land for me after I updated my case with the choice. She could reserve but not set to sale.

Plexus was great as I was surveying the reserved property to start building designs. He stopped, saw it was reserved, and set it to sale to me right away.

The entire process took about two hours.

ALSO SPECIAL THANKS TO SINDY TSURE!
She's been a longtime friend but she has been my shoulder during this and gave me a slap once or twice that I needed during the process.

Now on to the RL move! (yes in the same week!)

I think the deadly sin you have in mind is envy. I know plenty about sins.. trust me on this.

As far as I have noticed, the new self-hypnosis of LL is to advertise the platform as meet, greet and conferencing system, which would make the planet so very clean and green, because less people would have to travel for meetings, which means less CO² in the air and so on. That also computers and all necessary equipment plus electricity causing ressource waisting and environmental pollution footprints plays no role in LL's smart arguments.

I think, the Zindra theme was made, because LL lives under the impression (vulgo: hallucination), that they moved the adultism to Zindra and make the old mainland free for all the green living freaks from all around the world and their fantastic CO²-free and traveling costs-free and time saving green living meetings in future.

But good that LL invites customers to the SL-Frisco Convention, lol, where all people will arrive with SUV's and aeroplanes and other ultra-green vehicles, enjoying the effective air-conditioning in hotel-rooms and offices and whatnot and eating the yum-yum gen-food and other interesting industrial food designs, while having a real good time together, while people struggling here to save a bit last fun for their SL.

In other words - and logical I agree with you: green living buildings on Zindra are just another sign for the fact that LL is thinking we all would be extraordinaire stupid. Beside the second fact, that the design is cheap and helpless.

Yeah, that'd be the one.

OMG, it's "deadly"???? I am in soooo much trouble ...

Is this a group intern contest or free for everyone?

/me reads the Green stuff and gets a slightly confused look.

Wait a minute.. It's gone from "save the children" to "save the planet"???

Save the planet! With porn!

I was wondering if they were referring to K/S fandom.

anyone except the judges and their spouses can enter.

so get ready

Thanks for the info
