FEELING OS-TRACISED!!!!? (I know!!!!!)


Recently all over the world there has been the feverish sound of hundreds of people hammering away on their keyboards. The force used in the said task has been comparable to that employed in the damp dark rooms deep inside the Tower Of London during the reign of QE1. On these occasions, subjects of the Queen sought to facilitate the divulgence of information from other subjects. A kind of latter day brain storm!

In this case however, the cause of such keyboard abuse has not been dissimilar. Basically the overwhelming desire of so many people has been to express their delight at the recent Linden Labs Open Space Sim announcement!! And probably, more importantly, a cry out for information that, hopefully, will lead to clarification. Ergo WTF is going on!!!?? Pages and pages of rant, conspiracy, considered opinion, dribbling and the odd (very odd) mispost about the purchase for $L0.20 a share stock in a Chicken Wholesaler, have bulked up the SL Forums. It has been a truly remarkable outpouring.

However, it would seem that the effort has been for naught as aside from adding a spoonful of sugar to a rather expensive and foul tasting tincture (thanks Marypoppins Linden), there has been little re-positioning or indeed information from the Lab. Maybe it’s time to crack the thumbscrews out of the museum. In the absence of anything substantive from the lab, the OS situation and particularly the way in which we the customers can effectively act and or plan remains shrouded in pixelated fog.

“ Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized,
processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit.”
William Pollard

On a lighter note I did have a rather large laugh to myself when I saw the following Open Space Sim all crisply wrapped for abandonment with a lovely gift tag message which was, in balance fairly clear!!

Adding extra validity of the saying “a picture paints a thousand words”
Chinese proverb

I wonder how many of those thousand are in the vernacular

www.myslplaces.com...........GUIDE TO THE BEST OF SL SIMS (A MUST FOR ANY SL TOURIST)


Hey all you jolly Tribers!

Let me introduce myself, I’m Nakeisha or Nake as most people call me. I am and have been an addicted Tribe member for a long time now and before I start my ramblings I would like to thank Alexxa and Drift for their beautiful islands, one of which I call home, and for giving me the opportunity to share with you one of my passions… Thanks, you guys rock!!

Like me have you ever faced that issue of where to go in Second Life? Have you wasted hours roaming SIMs for that perfect romantic spot or found yourself looking attractively grey unable to rez due to the enormous lag overload? Well join the club I’ve been there many times!

I am known to be an avid explorer and LM collector within my group of SL friends and soon found that I became a “where to go” resource. It became apparent that a guide was needed for people to find and experience the best without the tedium of trial and error. I sadly discovered the search option within SL lacking in several areas and was often disappointed in the results, being at the top of the list doesn’t necessarily indicate the best place. So the idea of www.MySLPlaces.com was born, a travel guide to Second Life places to help new and longtime avatars alike find those unique and enchanting locales. Here you will find reviews written by myself and other avatars like you describing in detail the amazing SL destinations we have found, loved and think are worth visiting. I would love to hear of special places any of you have found and want to share with the rest of us Second Lifers. So please feel free and don’t be shy to submit your own reviews here at :-

OPEN SPACE SIM UPDATE



Well, at last we have clarification on the new pricing with reference to Open Space Sims. We also have the Introduction of the new “Homestead” Sim. The new sim is designed to cope with Light Residential or Light Commercial use, exactly as we have used OSS since day one.

I will try and simplify as best I can as to how it affects Tribe Residents. However if you need more details please follow the links below.

SL Blog
Knowledge Base

For Those That Just Want Some Light Entertainment

Firstly, all of Tribes Open Space Sims can now be classed as the new “Homestead” sim so in short that means type of use will not change. We will not be dropping the sims performance by leaving them as Open Space Sims.
There may be a script restriction and there will be an avatar restriction of 20 avatars per sim (at one go). But in truth having monitored open space sim use since we introduced them , this should, apart from one of our sims, not be an issue with “Homestead” sims. These changes will not be implemented until January 5th.
There is no need for anyone to do anything……all will be handled by Tribe and there will be no physical changes in your sims.

Open Space Sims will have their prims reduced to 750 and the performance will have “throttles” applied.

So to summarise, ALL Tribe Open Space Sims can now be classed as “Homestead” Sims and there is no change to prim allowance or land size. So if you lived on an open space sim yesterday you don’t today 


The Prices
On the “Homestead” Sims there will be a phased in increase per sim as follows.

January 5th 2009 there will be an increase of rent/tier of $20 per sim (Homestead)
July 2009 there will be an increase of rent/tier $30 per sim (Homestead)

The following applies to existing Residents.
As we promised, there will be NO increase at all for “Homestead” (OSS) residents until February 1st, even though Linden Labs increase their prices to us on January 5th.
Also the increase will not be fully passed down to our residents. The rise in February will be in line with Linden Labs increase. However Tribe will absorb 50% of the price increase. Therefore for a whole sim there will be an increase to the resident of $10, Tribe will absorb $10 also. Likewise if you own ½ an Island the price increase will be $5 and ¼ Island it will be $2.50.

As far as the July increase is concerned the same method as the January increase will apply. With Tribe again absorbing 50% of the rise.

As we have said before we will offer equivalent transfer to a full prim sim if any resident requires. The prices paid for the OSS land they bought will be honoured. However we need to have made those transfers before the 22nd of December. We cannot transfer after that date.

The increases do not effect those on Full Prim Sims.

As far as the original LL decision goes , Tribe was as outraged as many people were at the huge hike in costs proposed for January 5th. The reasons behind the hike are also hard to fathom. However, they have in many ways changed their approach and although it is really only a “sugaring” of the pill…..the phasing in of the increase makes for easier decision making.

Hopefully this makes things a little clearer. We thank you for being the fab people you are and hope that you can understand our position. We, at all times put our residents and the Tribe community first. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask Alexxa or Myself or indeed leave a comment here…we will answer all comments related to this issue!!

Thanks All!!!

New President...New Hope!


Today we can look at the United States in a new way…bold new frontiers…barriers broken…and steps taken towards a different America. While the phrase ‘historic election’ has been used repeatedly, in my opinion, that phrase dilutes the ‘whole’ of it. It is estimated that 64% of Americans will have exercised their right to vote…weathering long lines, broken voting machines and sometimes even weathering…the weather! Moreover, for the first time ever, America has an African –American in the White House! America’s people have spoken : Change is what is needed to grow and improve for the better. Now is the time to make promises into realities and to come together as a nation and as a people. I am hopeful that as we look towards the horizon, we see a compassionate America, an America that reaches out to the World and works with other nations to benefit all nations, and an America that we can ALL be proud of.

LINDEN LABS OPEN SPACE CHANGES


Hi Everyone,

You may or may not be aware
(those that have been on mars for the week :P ) that Linden Labs has made the monumental announcement that they intend to hike the cost of Open Space Sims by 66% effective of 1st January 2009.
This has caused a huge outrage with Second Life residents and as there are around 13000 Open Space Sims out there that means that pretty much everyone is affected in some way shape or form.
This has already led to the abandonment of Open Space Sims by Landowners and Residents alike. A lot have introduced the price rises already. Come January there will be a lot of Estate Failures due to the hikes. And there is likely to be a big shift away from Open Space Sims back onto full prim Islands.
So how does that affect Tribe and you our residents?

Firstly, we are going nowhere and assure you that our residents are our first priority.

Secondly, if the price increase is in fact confirmed for January , Tribe will only introduce a partial price increase on Open Space Sims and absorb the balance internally. There will be no price changes before January . However please note the increase is NOT yet confirmed and Tribe are fighting the cause against the increase as vigorously as possible!

Thirdly, there will be No price changes on full prim Islands.

If the price increase is implemented , for those that want to relocate we will offer any Tribe Open Space resident relocation to an equivalent Full sim parcel and we will honour any ownership claims of that resident at no extra cost.

Finally, although this is a bombshell from our Lord and Masters at Linden Labs there is still much hope that, if they don’t reverse the decision completely they at least could soften the blow. So nothing is set in stone as of now!

Your interests are foremost in our minds and we will do all that we can to ensure minimum disruption. Please feel free to put your thoughts and comments on this issue we will reply to all comments.
