(6/12/2007 1:26 PM PDT)  Hello Space,

 Your Second Life account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service (ToS). We took this action upon being informed that you purchased Linden dollars that were fraudulently acquired by the seller. This information came in the form of a fraud dispute initiated by a credit card holder through their issuing bank. Upon conclusion of our investigation we have reason to believe you were not aware you were purchasing fraudulently obtained goods. We have therefore restored your account and noted it accordingly. As the goods you received were fraudulently obtained, we are unable to allow them to remain in your account. You are encouraged to engage the fraud recovery channels available to you that are provided by the site where you purchased these goods, and/or your payment service provider.

Regards,

Aki Linden

  I apologize for the delay. It has been busy around here lately. :). Because of the status of your account (being in a negative Linden balance/not in good standing) we are unable to process credits for you. However, if you do have funds in your account balance, that will certainly cover your monthly fees etc. Unfortunately there's nothing that we are able to do to help restore the Linden dollars that were removed from your account as we are legally obligated to remove what is essentially stolen property. The best thing you can do in this situation is contact the company or source of the Linden dollars and ask for a refund.

		<description>Is this horse dead yet? Can I flog it a bit more?

If the only island in the Southern Continent void is the one between McManus and Pogon, then there is a problem for boating.

There is 'water' all the way up North, but the resident-owned Haebyon sim  blocks passage by water.
The piece of dry land in the West of Haebyon indicates that the 'natural' terrain will involve a shoreline running from the Tarington sim on the other side of the void.

How about running a canal or gorge South/North through the void terrain between Rundlelawn and Haebyon?
A shallow winding gorge would be good. Think of something like Lake Havasu on the Colorado River.

Slartibartfast would definitely dig out something there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slartibartfast
Because it's SL, he could fight off "fjords in Africa would be hard for him to explain without natural glacial movement." (see link above) by claiming that a giant alien spacecraft had crashed in the Southern Continent and gouged out a huge trench.

Couldn't he???
Has anybody looked down there? There could be huge broken chunks of alien technology buried down there.</description>

		<description>Terraform a huge maze.

Texture bits of terrain with game boards.

Make an underwater Grand Canyon, twisting North to South for nearly 15 sims - with submerged mountains in it.
=/-40m terraforming in those sims.

Use sculpts for low-prim Denizens of the Deep. A lot of the RL ones are kind of blobby.


OK. Sorry. I'll be quiet now.
For a while...</description>

		<description>Since the comment count isn't going through the roof in this blog entry, I don't feel (so) guilty in taking up yet another on-topic slot to reinforce a point that I can't edit.

Hey LL! 
On this terraforming thing.
It's a case of "Our World, Your Imagination"

Please don't imagine Our World flat  :)
You know it makes prim-sense.</description>

		<description>@63:  Void sims are basically 1/4 of the poke of a normal sim. They run four void sims with the resources that would normally run a normal sim.
A Void sim only supports 3570 prims rather than the usual 15000.
Scripting performance is similarly reduced.

It looks as if the 30 void sims filling up the hole in the southern continent will be largely water.

It would be nice if the seabed was terraformed with a lot of hills and hollows. That would give **visual event without using any prims**.
The flat seabeds in most of the existing water sims are .....  well ..... flat!  :)

Easter eggs hidden in the folds and hollows would be good, and would stop explorers from cheating by turning off fog ;)

The dry land in those sims could also be terraformed to a greater extent than usual, but would be constrained by a need to blend in the  existing mainland that they adjoin.
Default terraforming tends to be bland in the new sims presumably because the market generally wants 'flat' for building.
The new shoreline in the void sims needs non-prim event.

Ooooh!  Can *I* be Slartibartfast Mole???  (Look it up)
Pretty please??</description>
