The ultimate yacht in SL?

A few pictures here of my Millennium 75 meter yacht. The ultimate yacht? Let the pictures speak for themselves. You can see (and buy) the real thing at my Virgin Isle Marina sim. You'll also see the first price reduction this yacht has ever had for a special spring yacht buying opportunity.

I dont really see that as a yacht... a yacht is something that moves, after all.
now, a seawolf 320, or a tetra 35, or a trudeau defender, THAT is a yacht...
pretty nice build, though.

A most excellent build...truly. But.....and I do mean this with all due respect.....

Shouldn't you be off trying to figure out new ways to kill Superman, Mr. Luthor?

I consider a true yacht to be a beautiful, sleek, elegantly designed vessel where you and 45 of your closest friends can enjoy yourselves for a caviar and Dom weekend in Monte Carlo. At this level, the transport is handled by the crew, the owner does not drive a vessel like this, ever. And the only movement that occurs is generally the comings and goings of smaller craft (like the tetra 35, etc.) to deliver passengers to THE YACHT

I have to say it's a very nice build, but movement is part of the Yachting experience, is it not?

At $120,000 Linden - $453.00 USD , it is not worth it. 75 meters? The thing is tiny for the money and though the texture job on the inside is very nice, it is not 120k nice.

Namssor, you've chosen an extraordinary yacht in the Wallypower video. Be sure to stop by Virgin Isle Marina and take a look at mine.

HEY BLAZE

THANKS FOR BANNING ME.

I guess you cannot take the criticism.

Don't worry, i will now go use my FREE 4096m2 tier to put up some adds with your name in it and some Yacht comparisons with pictures of your competitors which blow yours away. Like Brookston Holiday's yachts... He has an 83m x 14m yacht - 600 prims - and absolutely beautiful for $9500 Linden, or there is the HMS Addiction at 1700 prims 110m and $19,500 - both put your low prim over-priced noobyachts to shame.

I guess you love bilking your fellow residents out of their hard earned money.

You should be ashamed at your rez date selling items at 5-11 times market value when the competitors clearly are not outmatched by your builds.

Do i need to mention the Z-dimension offsets, and unaligned textures on the $50,000 Linden 70m yacht you have? You should put the dedication into your work that the price reflects.

Good luck - you have become a personal project.

Let me say this to your post, Blaze did not ban you I did. He had nothing to do with it.

But tell me why would you even want to come to a place where you have already stated numerous times that the things werent up to your standards?

There are loads of other marinas with these "wonderous boats" you mention and I am sure they will be glad to see you coming and gratefully take your lindens.

Yes, we already know of the misaligned pieces, a lot of things have shifted over the years and we are in the process of renovating the marina to rectify those problems caused by many upgrades and changes in an evolving and growing world. But thank you for pointing it out to us publicly.

This is something we will get to when we have time because there is such a thing as real life that does come first over this world.

In this world, people are allowed to build what they want and sell what they want for whatever price they chose. Some may be crude, some may be awesome, some may be so so. But then on the other hand, others are allowed to buy what they chose and like. No one is forced to buy from the marina, but they do. It is their choice. More people love Blazes yachts than not.

I wonder though from your wonderful comments about the Pelorus, Chandon Dollingers yacht. You speak so highly of his yachts on these forums, are you a representative for his company in Monaco? Or is he just a close friend that you are helping promote his creations and business? As well as the others you mentioned, they surely must be close dear friends of yours.

Oh and by the way, Blaze is my personal project, so that job is already taken. You will just have to look elsewhere

and Proud of it

So you cannot take criticism and someone reviewing the work?

People have opinions - looking at your ban list, you obviously do away with anyone whose opinion runs contradictory to yours.


You are right and i think they are.


I am sorry, texture alignment does not shift - sure Z-dimension offset may happen - but i've been here a lot longer than you and have not seen 'prim drift' like that for an object not at 600m.


Well if you realized this you would probably charge less money.



Ignorance is bliss lady - I am sure if they saw what the rest of the world had to offer SOME of them, not ALL, would think quite differently about the price they paid - especially those people who actually work hard for their money and do not easily come by $453USD of disposable cash.


Surely you are wrong and have no idea about my history - I HELP MY COMMUNITY - i have done more for SL than you or Blaze can ever dream of doing. One word, it is called PIONEER - oops you missed that bus though. When i see something really good - i support it and post about. When i see someone hurting people, the community or just downright exploiting and taking advantage of others, i tell people - and this is what i think Blaze's price scheme is doing.

It is remarkable however that the other yacht builders that do know Blaze will say he is a great guy, but refuse to comment on his prices and when you look at the honest prices they charge for their work, you can understand.

Brookston Holiday HMS Addiction: 1700 prims, 110meters, $19,500 - Fair price.

There is nothing wrong with pointing at someones work and screaming UNFAIR PRICE. It's called knowing how to price things in the community you live in.

Sure people can afford it - especially now when so many rich people are here in SL, but just because people pay the price does not mean the price is right - it just means you have proven the axiom a fool and his money are easily parted.

I did make some positive remarks about Blaze's work. It is great work, the Millennium Yacht is very nicely textured, it has a nice beam width and is to a degree spacious. But not worth $453 USD - $120,000 Linden when compared to the competition.



Sorry, not looking elsewhere - you started this with your banning - so just ride out the effect. I've been here nearly 5 years, not going anywhere anytime soon and will have many many moons by which to point people who CARE about how much money they spend and the quality of what they get for it in the proper direction.



Must be nice to be his wife - but try having some personality of your own. I have perused your profile and found it surprisingly devoid of anything related to you that is not Blaze. It is no wonder you carry the guns for him, noobster.

chandons boats speak for themselves.

As does the $36,000 Linden price for 167m and 5088 prims of the largest ship in SL.

Priced right.

I'd even pay 50k Linden for it. But NOT 120k Linden - $453 usd.

/me snickers to himself while cruising the open seas on his SW 320, watching the flamefest.

I will not lower myself to your level ...just because you have been here for so many years does not give you the right to do the things you do. Being on a GAME from several years as you have speaks for itself to those who know. But it does not make you anything special. So no need to pat yourself on the back over and over. Because I for one it does not impress.

Your postings also speak for themselves.....

I have asked you to stop and this DOES stand in stone, so read it because obviously you have not....

Specifically:

* Hate speech and revelation of other people’s real life information are prohibited and are grounds for suspension or removal from the forums and Second Life. These threads will be deleted.
* Self-regulation of forum posts is the ideal. Posts should conform with the Terms of Service and the Community Standards. However, moderators will have the option of:

o editing aggressively offensive personal attacks to remove those statements that violate the community standards (with an accompanying statement explaining the violation and reason for edit), please note language, such as "fraud, liar, cheater, griefer, troller, jerk, scam artist" etc is strongly discouraged, but will not be removed.
o locking threads with explanation in extreme cases (e.g. although posts have been edited and the parties asked to cease, the attacks don’t stop. There’s no obvious constructive discussion going on).
o A system of warnings and suspensions (see description below) will ensure that Residents who repeatedly violate the CS in the forums lose their posting privileges.


Discipline
Be respectful. Please challenge opinions, state your own and enjoy the discussion, but do not cross the line into personal attacks and insults because you will risk having your Second Life account suspended or banned. We believe that in-world and forum behavior are linked and behavior carries across the boundary. This means if you are suspended or banned in-world you are also suspended or banned from the forums, and vice versa, if your account is suspended or banned from the SL Forums, it will also be suspended or banned from in-world. Violations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the severity of the offense and past history of violations. The following types of disciplinary action are possible remedies for inappropriate posts.

* Deletion/editing of offending material: The material that violated the rules may be edited or deleted without warning. In addition, threads that are no longer productive may be locked from further posting.

* Informal warning: If the offense is not severe enough to warrant a formal warning, an informal warning may be issued. An informal warning is a private correspondence between Linden Lab and the violator, advising the violator of the offense and what (s)he can do to correct it.

* Formal warning: If the offense is severe enough or an informal warning has already been issued, Linden Lab may issue a formal warning. The formal warning becomes a permanent part of the poster’s record. Several warnings can result in suspension or banning of your account.

* Suspension: A suspension is the temporary deactivation of a violator’s posting privileges from the Second Life Forums and from in-world activities.

* Ban: A ban is the permanent deactivation of the violator’s account with the Second Life Forums and from in-world activities.

Ciao

Oh stop crying. There are no violations here.

I do not care about being banned on Blaze's sim, I am not asking to undo it - I have alts from 2003 i can go there with if i wanted to go there. But why?

Stop crying - and stop fighting for your MAN - he cannot speak for himself and defend his own pricing policy?

I also heard you are responsible for that insanely long ban list on that sim. Good job. Spread the love.

Eat the criticism.

nitpick: It is Linden LAB - not Linden LabS.

Byes. :wave:

Once you do a few things that makes everyone else follow the same path - you DO feel special...a *little*.

Try it one day...

Oh SNAP you cannot because your entire SL is about Blaze and his yachts! Your World, Your Imagination - try using it.

I hadn't intended on replying to you Briana but you have really taken this a bit too far.

However, I will say something about the pricing on my larger yachts. Yes, you're right, they are enormously expensive. Because I never intended these boats to be seen around every corner in SL. What keeps them exclusive is the price. My buyers have seen all the other yachts, done their own comparisons, checked over all the details. Then they buy what they consider to be the best yacht for them.

I sell a wide range of vessels - over 40 at the marina. They start at 600 linden, even you would consider that a fair price. Don't whine about my prices for the big yachts just because you can't afford one. I get a lot of whining about that. I also sell a lot of big yachts

Oh Briana, you might check out our full sim-size furniture store Virgin Isle Bazaar, Belle has become one of the finest furniture builders in SL. And what exactly have you done again?

$450 US for a virtual boat?

You're sick. A sick greedy goof. Sorry but that "we want them exclusive?" What the heck? If you want them exclusive why not just.. ya know.. not sell as many? Moderate the volume directly.

I don't care if that boat comes with it's own personal kajira chained to the bed in the main cabin, it can't be worth $450 US.

Ahh, i only proved a large mall could work on the mainland.

I only proved island shopping sims could be successful by starting the first one, and third one.

Maybe LL implemented prim per parcel limitation sooner as opposed to later because of an issue related to me. It can be read in my SL profile Web tab.

Maybe i had the first SL avatar picture to hang on the walls in the Linden Lab Frisco office.

And maybe i can list you a few other things if you really want me to strap on an E-peen and go toe-to-toe in the middle of the flo with you....junior

I guess that thought makes your chest puff out, come on, admit it.

If it was worth the 450 USD, and was the best in the SL and was 3 times bigger with 4 times the prims - then maybe it would be worth it.

But you are not understanding something basic.

It is not about afford ability it is about the level of work and detail put into the final product and that final product not reflecting the price tag of $450 USD.

What i am saying ONCE AGAIN:

YOU MAKE GREAT YACHTs - Even though that 50k yacht has all kinds of funked up texture alignment.

The Millennium yacht is even nicer with a very nice texture job.

I just think it is low prim and low detail for the price.

My avatar from the neck up is 1016 prims - i dwarf your yachts damn near.

And if i can pay $35k Linden for an exclusive prim hair piece, then i can pay 50k for your little yacht or 120k for your 75meter one - if i felt they were worth it and reflected my status in SL properly. Which they are not and do not.

$120,000L.

I'd expect a one off build to EXACT specifications for that sort of money

HAHHAA oh dude, you SO have no idea who Bri is, do you?

She's one of the PIONEERS and INVENTORS of MANY of the business models considered common-place now.

Good lord man, her suggestions, and yes, complaints are GOLD and you don't know it ..

aww never mind, you know better I'm sure ...

Bookcases!!! ;p
