Aaah, I reconise these! There's some stuck on the west side of Ambat, I wondered what the heck they were ;D

Cool idea though, they look great as a fleet. But thought you might want to know about the wonkey ones! Come rescue them, they're lonely!

oh dear!

yes, sometimes they get stuck. and sometimes they annoy the landowners below them. please please everyone, if you're having trouble with the blimps, don't hesitate to contact me. i can keep them away from you.

Your blimp armada is one of the coolest things I've seen in SL.

(and most certainly -not- illegal in any way shape or form;) don't let anyone tell you that!! lol:) just - buggy, and i guess not your fault. sim-border bugginess...

i have soooooo lusted after one of hank ramos' touring balloons since i first saw one in preview... however, it wasn't working right...

godspeed - about the speed of a swallow. :))

Just to clarify, as I said to Qarl in an IM and I hope he undersands, I don't have a problem with the balloons, and I'm more than happy if they do go over my land - I just spotted the run-aways in the sim across, and wanted to 'bug report' :D

Don't let the grumpy folk get you down.

hey Erin. yeah, i get you. i do. i was a bit freaked when we first talked - one of the "grumpy folks" had just finished screaming at me.

it's a weird mix, this second life community.

take care,

Qarl's balloons are getting stuck in one of my co-workers' sky studio most every afternoon. At times, just falling into the land in Hikuelo when builders are trying to design. Doesn't make it easy.


Since these things just started going over my lands now..and this is an 'old' thread. I hope Qarl responds. Two of my friends have messaged him regarding possibly redirecting his bot blimps, but have not received replies.

A word to the *wise*, Qarl. Advertising is great. YOU have now taken it to new and obstrusive level.
