This is a joke right?

There aren't really NDAs for the odd hand-picked resident building content to place on public, Governor-owned Mainland parcels.

It's a joke right?

BEARintheMorning · 05-13-2008, 06:49 PM

Okay so I can forgive the builders but still curse the Lindens.

All is well in my warped little world once again.

I think I have a love/hate relationship with Bay City. Love the empty water sims, hate the multitude of vehicle-eating banlines if you stray outside of them.

Hopefully, more cool builds and public landmarks crop up along the edge of the travelling sims.

Moles hear new policy and plans before non-mole residents do (as a matter of course, such as, I dunno, the new city sims). Thus, we can't then blog about it as soon as the meeting's done.

NDAs are pretty common. Believe me, if I wasn't under so many, you'd hear a lot of horror stories about SL contracting.

Khamon · 05-13-2008, 11:20 PM

I'm tired of hearing all the same things we've been hearing about LL and SL since 2004. It's never gonna change, never get off the ground, never grow up. They going to nerf megaprims again for Heaven's sake.

oh god it hurts to give up.

I don't know, how about you email the Lindens and find out? I just build the stuff, I don't give two shits about policy.

Why are most corporate sims closed to the public and private while building is going on? ITS SEKRET OMIGOD

Even though it's just a Splenda swimming pool.

Khamon · 05-14-2008, 08:22 PM

I'd have to ask dozens of Lindens to find one that would admit to knowing why that particular "policy" was established; then I would have to accept a ninety percent probably that they were lying to me; and finally, even with a good and honest answer, I'd know that the decision to keep the Bay City plan cloaked was based on nothing more than an individual whim and would never apply to any future "policy" of The Lab All Hail The Central Lab.

So it hardly seems worth the effort. Now spill and tell us nommy stuff you know that we don't.

Khamon · 05-15-2008, 11:54 AM

From Robin's impromptu hour today:

Khamon: Oh, if we can back up half-a-mo, does LL own and operate Bay City outright or is there some other company involved?
.

Robin Linden: as far as I know it's us, Khamon

Khamon · 05-15-2008, 03:04 PM

She said later that I should ask Jack or Michael as she'd been out-of-pocket and it was more Cyn's project than hers so I thunk yeah there's the typical shuffle and sent an IM to Jack. I'll not bother y'all with the first few pass arounds but will let you know if I learn anything that seems useful and trustworthy.

Lordfly Digeridoo · 05-15-2008, 07:55 PM

Unless Michael, Blue, and Jack Linden are really secret agents for Millions of Us, Bay City is being run and coordinated by Linden Lab.

Salazar Jack · 05-16-2008, 12:05 AM

Does anyone recognize them? From what we could tell after visiting the structure in the Bay City - Docklands region, this person is fairly tall and on the skinny side. This was posted on Flickr before Bay City opened to the public. Is this a Linden, a mole or someone else on the inside? Whoever it is was watching Magellan's ship pretty intently.

Khamon · 05-16-2008, 12:10 AM

James Miller?

Khamon · 05-16-2008, 08:32 AM

IM > email yesterday evening:

Jack Linden: none whatsoever
Jack Linden: bay city is Linden Mainland, developed by contracted builders chosen from our resident base
Jack Linden: no-one else involved

more like when the content breaks, then four years later they get to fixing it.

I was there last weekend, stuff is already broke. Drawbridges flipped all the way over onto the road, trolleys flying in the air, etc.

Hope they've fixed it, but who knows.

Khamon · 05-16-2008, 09:17 AM

The drawbridge controls should just phantom the prims for half a minute so the boats can sail through. Making the prims move is foolish in a world where we can toggle a phantom setting with a timed script.

Oh but Khamon, that wouldn't look like the real world and people would have a really hard time adjusting to it.

Compared to what?

Kristian · 05-16-2008, 09:22 AM

Even better: They could make the bridge phantom and totally transparent, and have a clone above it that's normally phantom and transparent that becomes nonphantom and non transparenty.

easier than rotating prims. god forbid.
