So, I gave away my sim, on the condition that a plan was formed, and said plan was executed. Well, a plan was formed all right. But not executed at all. When I complain, I get a rude response, banned from the sim, and two other people IMing me about “harassing” their friend (is a single IM harassment? Interesting.)
At least two of them then decide to report me for it.
You know, Mercury Metropolitan, stealing sims from people isn’t nice. I clearly shouldn’t trust people. I’m not going to bother trying to be nice again.
I hate people. (And that includes myself.)
You hate people? Hm. We hate you too.
He didn’t steal the sim from you. Pull your head out of your ass and grow up. You sold the sim to him, therefore, it is his to do as his own. You are very immature for a programmer. Having friends stick up for another isn’t harassment. Not like you would know. Not two, but three of us reported you for it. You did not GIVE away your sim. You sold it. Stop getting your thong twisted in your mouth, and grow up. This is virtual reality. You shouldn’t care for it much. Damn Katharine. I hope you do completely quit Second Life as all you do is critisize everyone and everything. I hope I did make you quit so that I may have the great honor of making the “ever-so-popular” Katharine leave.
[12:05] Shawn Ay: Katharine. You transfered the island to Mercury for him to use, not to obide by what you tell him to do with it. Stop picking on him and leave him alone. His birthday is coming up very soon and he deserved that island for all that he has done in SL for everyone. He has done more than any other mentor or helper has. Grow up, quit Second Life like you said you would so we can enjoy Second Life peacefully without you up everyone’s ass about everything. If you’re so perfect, why don’t you help then? Mercury is NOT transferring the island back to you. Good luck with that.
[12:06] Katharine Berry: Actually, he was supposed to abide by what he said he was going to do with it. If he had, I’d have no issue.
[12:07] Shawn Ay: Technically, you can’t enforce anything as it is under his name. You think if you say ‘do this, do that;, he is going to do so? I f so, reality check.
Katharine - get your facts straight and stop being a drama queen. Nobody stole anything from you. Mercury did EVERYTHING to try to get people to build that sim for him. People kept backing out. And anyway what do you care - you said you wanted the sim deleted. Mercury’s reputation is impeccable, and you slandering him on this blog isnt going to change that. You regret selling your sim - thats unfortunate, but its not your sim anymore. And IF you were reported it was for copying chat
I hope you’re brave enough to post this reply.
Oops. I’d better go report Shawn Ay for copying my chat, given he’s the one who decided to report me for copying his one line.
I like how you two are contradicting eachother. I also like how at least Shawn is doing so hypocritically.
Shawn, if you feel he deserved a sim, give him one yourself.
By the way, I wasn’t telling, or demanding, I was asking. I admit that I had some faith in humanity. I now have none - an innocent request turns into a pile of flames, being banned from a sim, and being reported repeatedly and hypocritically.
Right. (Side note: the above were the “two people”)
LOL! If you know so much, oh great Katharine, then you would know that distributing chat logs in third party websites and external sources IS NOT against the Terms of Service as Linden Lab can not enforce anything. Stupid.
Innocent? Wow. You truely LOVE bending the truth. Look at the above blog entry (the comments).
A call for all of us outside the conflict (i.e. those of us who are not Mercury or Katharine):
Can we let them solve their problems alone?
Might I suggest you all “chill”? No? Yes?
Katharine - It is a well established fact that you are known to be demanding and often condescending towards others. True, it may have been wrong of Mercury to deviate from the plan (assuming that is what he did) that enabled him to gain your simulator (extortion, no? accidental?), but if his reputation is anything of value, he did so with good intentions. If you want your simulator back due to his deviations, and are willing to pay transfer fees, and maybe a little more for time compensation, then it would seem fair. However, if you are demanding, arrogant, and narrow minded, nobody will wish to help you, Mercury included. Not that you are.
Shawn - If you were mad at Katharine for posting a chat log, then you have done nothing better than stoop to her level (in this case, low) in order to retaliate. A young child knows the difference between right and wrong. You should as well. Katharine brings it out to be more ethical than law, whereas you bring it out to be more law than ethical. Find a middle-way to work with. (Commonly known as: Stop instigating each other)
Daisy - One sided, but at least there’s more information
The voice that calls to me (The voice of your conscience) - They wouldn’t have tried to make this public had they wanted to “solve their problems alone” :’(. I would call Katharine a hypocrite for publicizing such things, but that would be hypocritical of me.
Final word - Grow up. You’re both intelligent; you may as well ‘act’ it.
You just did call me a hypocrite. Saying you wouldn’t say something is equivilent to saying it. It should also be noted that what I pasted was a single line:
Furthermore, that was only to one person, who quite probably already knew (Mercury), and has since been posted up again, by the person who said it. Unlike Shawn, I didn’t proceed to paste piles of other chat without permission as well (which I have left in the interest of “free speech,” although such a concept does not actually exist on my website, since it’s private). The concept that I should need a team of lawyers for something as simple as this is, quite simply, rediculous. I’m unclear on why we can’t just trust that people will do what they say they’ll do - which he did. I would hope that all common sense would say that you didn’t need a clause to say that you’ll do what you said you’d do - it’s implied. Sigh.
As for his reputation… my memory of it doesn’t seem to be as lily-white as everybody else’s. Anyone else remember Prime Real Estate?
And by the way, how am I being hypocritical by posting this?
lol. Funny Funny, I WOULD Feel for you Katherine, But because you have been an ass to me for most of my second life, I can only laugh! Besides, LL Clearly States, a Sim cannot be transferred to the MG with objects on it, so it would have to be completely empty, So if there was a build plan, It would have to be destroyed a week later.
HA,
/me does a little dance and sing “I was right”
Amazing how everyone think Mercury’s plan was great, and forgot that fact. It seemed like a good idea to most but really it wasn’t.
When I saw that posted I had a feeling he would win the sim since everyone loved the idea.
Not one person said a thing about my idea, screw helping those new to SL, they can just sit around and make SL suck more, instead we’re going to feed our egos and we’ll think we’re helping the TG by sending some builds to the MG.
You guys need to pull your heads out of your ass. instead of trying to do something that MAY work, try and help those on the TG. Sending builds to the MG does NOT directly help the TG. Teaching newbies to script, build, and not be jack asses, does help.
Oh see i didnt know that was the plan, I wasnt informed, But like i said in the eairler post, It wouldnt have worked anyway. LL dosent allow sending TG builds to the MG. lol
Sonof, When a sim is transferd to the MG all of the obejcts are kept.
Well yes storm… in all fairness they could have been kept by Merc. But Merc would have to re set the out once the island is transferred…
(I already know the island would have to be completely empty to transfer, I mentioned transferring Tringo with Mecca once, Long time ago, and they told me i couldn’t do it.)
No, All the objects will be kept on the sim once transferd its just all the ban list, access list, EMs will be removed.
lol, ok, Whatever, Act like you know… im not argueing
