Cheers.

SWEET! LOL

I guess I’m just not that creative. heheheh

It also took me a while to see how them Lindens ain’t able to keep up with all that-there emptied-out land. That there problum is getting worse n’ worse, as more folks says “to hell with this” and leaves SL or at least their land.

Them Lindens don’t want to talk about it, either! Ol’ King Mark forces folks to look at his finger-paintin’ masterpieces and whatnot and rolls out profit-estimates to the banker-boys. Meanwhile, just look at the map-thing and hit the “land for sale” button. Then do a little fly-around in your UFO or Dread Zeppelin and check the parcel-notes for empty spots.

Abandoned. I reckon we bums am doin’ the Lindens favor by a-keepin’ up the ruins.

I’ll be neighborly to the folks nearby…don’t want to rile them up none. Poor folks! They am the ones tossin’ money into a rat-hole.

I just hopes they don’t mind the view out the back window. I done spruced up the scenery somewhat, don’t you know, with my trailer, and wadin’ pool, and truks on blocks, and pigs, and magazine collectshun, and outhouse.

My question to Pappy: what took you so long to figure this stuff out? Aren’t you bums supposed to be so creative and adaptable that’d have figured it a long time ago?

My favorite for jackass neighbors: link a shouter to a 30-meter “beam” prim and then link the opposite end to a box – with box as root. Place root on your land (whatever land you might be squatting on) and extend the shouter into the middle of the jerk’s parcel where it will drive him up the wall.

Since the root prim is not on his land – he can’t return it. and LL is “slower than molasses rolling uphill” at “encroachment” abuse reports for returning “offending” prims.

Muahahah

I recommend a system I’ve dubbed “Perma-squat” instead. Create a group and find a nice old sim that was created to house the defunct “First Land” parcels. Pick out a smaller plot like a 512 or 1024 for sale and purchase it for the group. Give it a name and teraform as you like because you won’t be able to change it later. Set auto-return to “0″ and leave your group. Within 24 hours, your group is deleted because it lacks two members. The land you purchased for the group is still there and still showing belonging to your group. Fill it up with prims and enjoy living tier-free. My oldest perma-squat is now 3 years and 7 months old. No one has ever bothered it.

Be sure to always keep the parcel primmed out by adding prims in the sky if you have to though because you won’t have permissions to delete others’ stuff. God knows that SL is full of deadbeats and leeches who will attempt to use your rightful perma-squat land without compensating you if you don’t make sure to keep it primmed out.

Guess what? Some crafty guy from Italy not only built great new homes but was renting them out! As was typical then for many university islands, no one was logging on for weeks at a time. Then a bunch of us logged in to do some work for a new project and…

Lesson learned It was fun finding a student who spoke Italian to tell the guy that we admired his entrepreneurial spirit but, um, his villas had to go. He and our “residents” were pretty gracious…he’d made his money and they picked up their sex-beds. No ARs needed.

I suggested that we take over the rentals. Admins didn’t care for that idea.
