The Lindenomics Spin Machine

I opened Google Reader and read Tateru Nino's article on Massively. She highlights Jack Lindens response to the Openspace sims furor.

Jack implies that the type of usage is a more important factor in the pricing changes than the actual cost of usage, though to be fair, it's an ambiguous pair of sentences, 'We are saying that the use has changed, and continues to do so as people find more creative ways to use them. So the revised pricing is about recognising that change of use and the additional costs and value associated with it.'

The Void Sim Creativity Tax Act of 2008

So....no mention of some people abusing the original intent of the Void Sims.

Now LL recognizes your creative use of them...and taxes it.

See? It's all good!

The greatest BDSM Master/Mistress roleplayers in SL are the folks at LL, and we're merely their submissives.

SL Bloggers Avie Auction 2

Blogger Party - October 5, 2008
When: 3pm SLT until we are done…

from Veyron Supercharge's blog....

"...The last blogger avie auction was a lot of fun. Some avies even enjoyed themselves in spite of everything…. I had a blast and I think everyone else who attended did as well. In fact I have had a bunch of requests to do it again. I would also think that most of you should have used up your old 24 hours by now and it’s time for a new - ahem - switch? So with that being said….

Tired of the same old usual party? People showing in some unusual costume or outfit, everyone commenting on how lovely they look. How about something different? :D

Theme: Mistress/Master Ball - submissive’s can come too… :D If you’re not “into” D/s the come in your favorite kinky wear for fun.

Rules: Things have to stay like movie R rated at most. If you’ve seen an R rated movie lately, that covers a lot of ground…

Some area will be provided for extra curricular activities. Feel free to use them. If you’re in the house, feel free to do as you please though.

Now for the fun part, a submissive auction. Not one, but two of them. Auctions will start at 3pm and end when we have gone through everyone or the auctioneer passes out… You can be in both auctions should you choose to be. The winner gets the slave for 24 hours (if that’s 1 RL or SL day that’s between the two avies). Any limits the sub has must be stated before the auction starts. No SL TOS violations (you know what that means) are allowed. As part of terms the sub can agree for the time to start after the party or during it. Starting price for all auctions is L$500. The auctioneer will take a 25% commission from the winner, and the sub will get the rest. While the auction is going on, the auctioneer is the the sub’s dom/domme and must be obeyed..."

In case you're wondering...I'm going up for bid, myself ;)
