Galaizm

so much to say/ blog about and so little time.

things are going again so rapidly in sl, sometimes i have to stand back and just make things come to an halt and take a deep breath, and then move forward again.

i did it again.

yep, i made another community a "section 8, part deux". well its not called section 8, its simply called "zum". i've created a even more disgusting ghetto which attracts roleplayers galore. 2k some traffic in one day on a lil more then 2080sq plot is pretty dam nice.

i made rentals again. i bought a house from loch newchurch and took it apart in every possible way, re-textured eevrything. this time the theme is way darker then it used to be in topgol. it's trash, its dirty, its infected, it is zum!

i have 7 rentals up, and 4 " inhabitants" are living there right now. just like in section 8, some are just dam cool people, and i am always happy to see " oldies from 2005 " coming to my places and stay there, make these nasty flats their home. because a 2005 AV pretty much seen it all and when they come to gala... yea man thats just dam cool.

i am still not fully satiesfied with the way i lay-outted these flats. but i am an artist and i always change shit around.

two of my tenants, "nad and abaddon" are just kick ass, and come to find out that "nad" is an incredible builder and scripter, and he lives in my SHIT?!? he told me about an place called " sex " , where only the elite and best builders are allowed to get in. ( its by invite only ). it is a sandbox, for the elitist builders. now people who know me, know my builders skills are well errrm very limited, but nad was impressed with some of my sculptie art, which i think is dam simple, but he says, no - they are great, and suggested to me to send in screenies to the " sex sandbox " , to get 'IN'!

i may do that... just to see what these creative sl elite make.

on the other hand, i am creating things now! the clothes thing, i didn't like it, i have some in my shop, but mainly i am making now " moving art ". i am going baazonka with the sculpties. created some of my own, and still learning and learning each day.

this time tho, i make what i WANT, not really what would sell for a high price. this is more fun, more exiting then being under pressure to make shit that people want and need. including in world textures, which is an experiment on its own, you never know what comes out of it. just like mixing many colors onto a canvas and see the outcome and call it something.

lets not " need" anything, lets just make something that is not needed, perhaps not making much sense at all.

i refer to my beloved Dadaism Manifesto by Tristan Tzara...something i live by in my rl and sl. i guess for the first time in sl, i do what is not expected from me, but what i want to do. and it feels good. no pressure, no need for formalities, take me the way i am, or don't bother at all. this is my sl and i do as a i please.

the sl screenshots of the shop can't do no justice, because my art is a movement, and i can't capture movements.

then there are the new people that come by, some are annoying roleplayers, which i basicly avoid, some are cool ass people.

giacomo is one frequent visitor, who comes by non stop. i don't know if he likes to look at my ass nonstop or if he gets a kick out it when we bitchslap one another. he is cool., he is a new yorker, and people from ny are always cool.

i made fun of his big head tho. but he is cool and kinda grows on me. as a frequent mile visitor, he is always welcome to zum....as longest he don't get on my last nerves that is.

mr mason gave me something that throws you over sims, makes you act like a total drunk whacko. its so dam cool, you drink it and say " beer beer beer beer" non stop til your av is so fucked up and you get kicked over several sims, and dance and shake like p.w. herman. nah even better, its an constant trip, which can land you back at your home location at any given time, because your av get knocked the fuck out. it's dam funny, i gotta give it to the topgol crowd sometimes, i think they get a dam kick out of

"The blue Bottle"

the end,

gala~

i think this clip is dam hillarious and it is sweeping the world wide wait. some of course always gonna hate, but nevertheless, i think its funny as hell and they all gonna be soultrain backup dancers after their release from sing sing, hah!

gala~

this NO CASINO LL LAW issue bothers the living shit out of me. i am serious. anti casino assholes, rightwing fucks are just everywhere in sl. these rightwing fuckes have the mind of some " spy on yer neighbor " mindset. yet they  think, they are " morally " correct by trying to make everyone believe their twisted arguements and follow those rules.

it was late, but i didn't feel up to do anything 'creating' wise or shopping ( yawns ).so i tp'd in to the #1 top most popular place according to the SL traffic numbers. and this what happend :

[0:51]  Kiz Flanagan: The gaming securities on WSE all dropped within half an hour - over 43 million linden dollars people lost in stock.[0:51]  You: omg???
[0:51]  Kiz Flanagan: yrly
[0:52]  You: 43mill here in sl?
[0:52]  Kiz Flanagan: Yup
[0:52]  Kiz Flanagan: All the SL stock markets that dealt in gaming securities are hurting big; might be the nail in the WSE coffin.
[0:53]  You: ohmy wow... can i take that info from you kiz and blog about that as well
[0:53]  Kiz Flanagan: You can, but it would be anecdotal - I only have second hand news, not actual figures. You should look into it a little more.
[0:53]  Kiz Flanagan: That's my legal advice ;)
[0:54]  Kiz Flanagan: http://www.wselive.com/
[0:54]  Kiz Flanagan: That's the WSE exchanges webby
[0:55]  Kiz Flanagan: They had almost all the casino stocks, because as this shows, all other stock exchanges saw them as too risky a commodity.
[0:55]  You: awesome.. i am making notes right now
[0:57]  Kiz Flanagan: I mean, just look at the market graph on the front - from over 500,000 market trade daily down to 120,000 in that day, in linden dollars.
[0:58]  Kiz Flanagan: But there are a few options: most traded gaming groups have their hands in other markets, first of all - real estate, etc.
[0:58]  You: i saw it... i cant even imagine what this is going to look like in a month ahead
[0:58]  Kiz Flanagan: Second, linden did not outlaw simulated gambling, they outlawed simulated gambling with any currency or item of value.
[0:58]  Kiz Flanagan: a system of free tickets that could be redeemed off-server for uh... "whatever"... ;) ... would still be viable.
[0:59]  Kiz Flanagan: This is what alot of the online poker rooms do.
[0:59]  Kiz Flanagan: It would take new scripting on the gaming machines, but it's very doable.
[0:59]  You: well yes but people are people and some disgruntled anti casino everything may snitch
[0:59]  You: yes and cost a lot of money
[0:59]  Kiz Flanagan: The best option is to combine that, with organized protests at all in-world linden properties.
[1:00]  Kiz Flanagan: It would comply entirely with their policy as written - all activity that is related to "items of value" would take place off linden servers.
[1:00]  Kiz Flanagan: Much like the SLExchange.
[1:00]  You: well they did in the past when no one bougth land because the prices went up skihigh
[1:01]  You: kiz i am taking notes on everything and off course i will not mention your last name in the blog
[1:01]  You: but this is something people want and need to read asap
[1:02]  Kiz Flanagan: Check my figures first, and as long as you do that, you can use my last name all you want
[1:02]  Kiz Flanagan: And my company, GMT+12 Consulting's, name ;)
[1:02]  Kiz Flanagan: lmfao
[1:02]  You: are you sure? i will!
[1:02]  You: awesome

[1:02]  Kiz Flanagan: Just check my facts.
[1:02]  Kiz Flanagan: I don't want to look like a dumbass ;)
[1:03]  You: :)
[1:03]  Kiz Flanagan: :P
[1:03]  You: i suppose hippie pay is still legal then ?
[1:04]  Kiz Flanagan: Oh yes.
[1:04]  Kiz Flanagan: There is no random chance or numbers involved in hippie pay.
[1:04]  You: but there is not a guarantee that you will paid neither
[1:05]  Kiz Flanagan: If it's what I think it is, it's where you take external surveys to make money?
[1:05]  Kiz Flanagan: That is totally legal still.
[1:05]  You: what about the taxes hippiepay should pay to the big man?
[1:05]  You: yes thats what it is
[1:05]  You: same as money land
[1:05]  Kiz Flanagan: Right
[1:05]  Kiz Flanagan: None of that involves games of chance, so it is not regulateable.
[1:06]  You: i see yes
[1:06]  Kiz Flanagan: The legal foible here is that while the money is not technically currency, it does allow americans and other countries that regulate gaming, to game. I just wish linden would make up their mind on whether or not they consider the linden dollar a true currency - they change their opinion as convenient.
[1:06]  Kiz Flanagan: Particularly as investors are involved.
[1:07]  Kiz Flanagan: "Simulated linden stock exchanges are allowable w/o regulation because the L Dollar is not a real currency"
[1:07]  Kiz Flanagan: "Gambling is not illegal because the L Dollar is a currency"
[1:07]  Kiz Flanagan: It's doublespeak.
[1:07]  You: well the investors are marketing online companies such as name brands coke, blockbuster, ipod etc
[1:07]  Kiz Flanagan: *is illegal
[1:08]  Kiz Flanagan: Linden has so far favored the simulated stock exchanges here, but in it's purest sense, this law bans them - they don't say as much, but the online stock market is also a game based on chance.
[1:09]  Kiz Flanagan: We will see if they decide to enforce it, or turn a head because it's good for their PR.
[1:09]  You: i am very impressed kiz, you have an very insightful knowledge
[1:10]  Kiz Flanagan: ty, I try to keep up with things here. It's my job ;)
[1:10]  You: thats really amazing and really people need to know these things
[1:10]  You: do you have a office here in world?
[1:11]  Kiz Flanagan: Ah, yes.
[1:11]  You: oh great, what is the slurl to it?
[1:11]  Kiz Flanagan: Where I store my many hats.
[1:11]  You: hehe
[1:12]  Kiz Flanagan: Uh, dunno - it's at Burdigala 179, 141, 200
[1:12]  You: ok i am making a huge notecard here
[1:12]  Kiz Flanagan: Or, Three Mayenne Plaza floor nine ;)
[1:21]  Kiz Flanagan: Anything in SL!
[1:21]  Kiz Flanagan: ('cept fake gambling)
[1:22]  You: yep and escorting
[1:22]  Kiz Flanagan: Well, it's SL, and it's legal for real in most of the world.
[1:22]  You: yes aside in the usa
[1:22]  Kiz Flanagan: Er, decriminilized, at least.
[1:22]  Kiz Flanagan: Aye
[1:23]  Kiz Flanagan: Dunno why! Americans had a great economy built around brothels in the 1700's thru the 1920s.
[1:23]  You: so i wonder miss Aminom if you support ageplay and escorting?
[1:23]  You: oh sure but they are puritans at heart
[1:23]  Kiz Flanagan: heh
[1:23]  You: officially speaking
[1:24]  Kiz Flanagan: Do I support them?
[1:24]  You: no i was asking the box
[1:24]  You: Aminom
[1:24]  Kiz Flanagan: Ah
[1:24]  You: who sits inside of it
[1:24]  Kiz Flanagan: lmao
[1:24]  You: lol

[1:25]  Kiz Flanagan: Actually, the facts on that box are wrong - gambling is legal in many countries, including the countries of several SL gaming owners. It's much more conplex than "illegal/legal."
[1:25]  Aminom Marvin: oh wow I was afk
[1:25]  Aminom Marvin: you people are actually talking.
[1:25]  You: yes we do
[1:25]  Aminom Marvin: it is illegal in the US, which is what matters.
[1:25]  Aminom Marvin: that is where the servers are.
[1:25]  Kiz Flanagan: Not all SL servers are in the US, actually.
[1:26]  Aminom Marvin: Don't like it, make your own version of SL elsewhere
[1:26]  Kiz Flanagan: There are also server farms in the UK.
[1:26]  Christblade Beresford: Not is some parts of US otherwise Vegas would not exist
[1:26]  Kiz Flanagan: Where it is legal, thank god.
[1:26]  Kiz Flanagan: Correct - it is a states-issue, in that country.
[1:26]  Aminom Marvin: Kiz: it doesn't matter. There's no way to segregate it. Also, the _company_ resides in the US, which is what is important.
[1:26]  Aminom Marvin: Kiz are you from the US?
[1:26]  Kiz Flanagan: Actually, there is, and no - legally, it does not matter.
[1:26]  Kiz Flanagan: No sir, though I did recieve my law degree there. I am an Irish citizen.
[1:27]  Aminom Marvin: i don'[t give a shit about internet lawyers.
[1:27]  Aminom Marvin: you aren't American, fag off.
[1:27]  Kiz Flanagan: lmao
[1:27]  You: why so hostile?
[1:27]  Aminom Marvin: make your own SL
[1:27]  Aminom Marvin: Because casinos have destroyed the mainland.
[1:27]  Aminom Marvin: they have gamed every system they can
[1:28]  You: did you knew that most of the sl builders were originally from france?
( Aminom claims to be a HUGE SL Builder, yet didn't knew about "Yadni Monde"! )
[1:28]  Kiz Flanagan: LOL!
[1:28]  You: thats all very unreasonable
[1:28]  Kiz Flanagan: LL is chartered as an international company, actually.
[1:28]  Kiz Flanagan: Facts, anyone?
[1:29]  Aminom Marvin: then, when advertising the casinos were banned, "Kasinos" did everythign they could to skirt it. By pushing and pushing the limits, they brought this on themselves
[1:29]  You: and you have a mind of a 10 yr old box sitter
[1:29]  Aminom Marvin: I am not the one stupid enough to gamble, am I?
[1:29]  You: do you think sl is a game?
[1:29]  Kiz Flanagan: How do you know -anyone- here gambles?
[1:29]  Kiz Flanagan: lmfao
[1:29]  You: you just told kiz to make her own game
[1:29]  Aminom Marvin: Kiz do you gamble
[1:29]  Kiz Flanagan: Nope.
[1:29]  Aminom Marvin: yes SL is a game, and I am winning it.
[1:30]  Kiz Flanagan: But I support the freedom to do so.
[1:30]  Christblade Beresford: I don't actually gamble but I do believe in the freedom of expression
[1:30]  Kiz Flanagan: Unless you count stock exchanges, in which case, I'm a very good gambler.
[1:30]  Aminom Marvin: do you have kasino owner friends?
[1:30]  Kiz Flanagan: No, and no.
[1:30]  Aminom Marvin: freedom of expression by making rigged gambling machines designed to milk money from people?
[1:30]  You: i do have casino friends
[1:31]  Aminom Marvin: so for you it is a personal interest.
[1:31]  Kiz Flanagan: LOL
[1:31]  Aminom Marvin: Without then you wouldn't give half a shit.
[1:31]  Christblade Beresford: which I thought SL was all about... and gambling is a lot less worse than some of the sexual practices I've seen advertised
[1:31]  You: anyone who enters a casino knows the possibility of the end game
[1:31]  You: win lose situation
[1:31]  Aminom Marvin: Gala: that doesn't make it moral.
[1:31]  Kiz Flanagan: That's a logically-false argument, Ami. Straw man logic.
[1:31]  Aminom Marvin: Your logic is deniable sir
[1:32]  You: ok since you bring up morals
[1:32]  Aminom Marvin: your argument is demonstrably false
[1:32]  Aminom Marvin: your premises are unsound
[1:32]  You: let me ask you this, what do you think about AV sex?
[1:32]  Aminom Marvin: your fallacies are profound
[1:32]  adammac Beck: i should like to gamble miss
[1:32]  Aminom Marvin: I don't like it. I think it is fucking funny though.
[1:32]  Kiz Flanagan: I think you need to go to university and maybe take an actuall logic class, Marvin ;)
[1:32]  Kiz Flanagan: *actual
[1:32]  Christblade Beresford: between consenting adults of same breed it should be allowed
[1:33]  Christblade Beresford: I stress however ADULTS
[1:33]  Aminom Marvin: Kiz, you are a damned lawyer. You basically admit that you are a decietful bastard.
[1:33]  Aminom Marvin: "same breed"? Meaning no interracial sex?
[1:33]  Christblade Beresford: and SPECIES/BREEDS
[1:33]  Kiz Flanagan: LOL!
[1:33]  Kiz Flanagan: No, I said I have a law degree - that would normally be a very good point!
[1:33]  Christblade Beresford: not what I ment
[1:34]  Aminom Marvin: even now you are being a decietful bastard by denying your lawyering.
[1:34]  Kiz Flanagan: I currently in the international relations field, career wise.
[1:34]  Christblade Beresford: humans and humans animals and animals
[1:34]  Aminom Marvin: Nobody cares about your credentials on the internet. It's just e-cock measuring if you mention them, and makes you look rediculous
[1:35]  You: sorry not talking to much.. i am making notes here
[1:35]  Lovy5777 Allen: im doin a donation box 4 poor children in Africa, would u like to make a donation or buy something?
[1:35]  Aminom Marvin: lol
[1:35]  Aminom Marvin: and the scam artist arrives
[1:35]  Christblade Beresford: it strikes me that you only reason you are here amin is to look for an arguement without having all the facts at hand
[1:36]  Christblade Beresford: question is Bingo gambling?
[1:36]  Kiz Flanagan: Yes.
[1:36]  Christblade Beresford: and yet in the UK its been legal for decades
[1:36]  Kiz Flanagan: And in the US.
[1:36]  Christblade Beresford: is the lottery gambling?
[1:36]  Aminom Marvin: Christblade, I experience SL. I see what gambling has done to it. Those are the only facts I need.
[1:36]  Kiz Flanagan: Oh my yes.
[1:36]  Aminom Marvin: what are your facts?
[1:37]  Aminom Marvin: how do casinos make SL better?
[1:37]  Christblade Beresford: I experience SL I own SL land as a cinema
[1:37]  You: why do you worry what an adult does in a casino ?
[1:37]  Aminom Marvin: you are a self-promotional ass
[1:37]  Kiz Flanagan: To use your own logic, Ani, "if you don't like it, buy sims and don't rent to casinos."
[1:37]  Aminom Marvin: what do you post in your profile? Positions.
[1:37]  Aminom Marvin: Here's what I have going right now - *Chair, Public Relations, for Relay for Life in Second Life (SLRFL) *Chief Operating Officer, LOOT! Business Network *General Director of Sinn Fein Supporters in SL *Tour Director - Virtual Museum of Modern Art *CEO GMT+12 Consultancy (Group coming when I have room for it in my list!)
[1:37]  Christblade Beresford: I have worked alongside gambling games on a small scale Sploaders mostly
[1:37]  Aminom Marvin: just trying to show off the size of your e-cock.
[1:38]  Kiz Flanagan: lmfao
[1:38]  Kiz Flanagan: OK
[1:38]  Kiz Flanagan: I see you contribute to my E-cock. Thank you.
[1:38]  Kiz Flanagan: In the form of relay for life, that is.
[1:38]  Aminom Marvin: wrong I just called you out on the self-promitional nonsense
[1:38]  Aminom Marvin: e-penis minus three inches.
[1:38]  Kiz Flanagan: It's not self promotion, it's business.
[1:39]  Christblade Beresford: I have not suffered any ill effects from doing so
[1:39]  Aminom Marvin: Whatever you want to call it.
[1:40]  Aminom Marvin: your entire profile is a masturbation to yourself
[1:40]  Aminom Marvin: 'm T.E. Lawrence, minus the british citizenship. In the RL, I work in International Relations, here I work in AV to AV relations! :) Irish national from Dublin City, Co. Dublin. Probably living abroad when you read this. Women's Grand Lodge Of Belgium
[1:40]  Aminom Marvin: your RL stuff
[1:40]  Kiz Flanagan: Ok..
[1:40]  You: you must have missed out on sl 4th birthday box sitter, if you call yourself a builder, i would like for you to sit down with the OG builders of Sl
[1:40]  Christblade Beresford: I have seen casinos in SL and walked straight past them they have bear me no feelings whatsoever as I said I believe it should be an adults right to make the right decisions.... I deplore the Nanny Culture
[1:41]  Aminom Marvin: OG builders will be obsolete in a few months.
[1:41]  You: and why do you think so?
[1:41]  You: because of the constant changes?
[1:41]  Aminom Marvin: sculpts will replace virtually everything.
[1:42]  You: well thats not a given yet because its not possible with a low prim count to build a mansion
[1:42]  Aminom Marvin: Christblade I bet you are a fan of objectivism too.
[1:42]  Aminom Marvin: Gala: yes it is.
[1:42]  Kiz Flanagan: You don't think that "I am currently taking commissions for custom sculpts and builds." and "http://slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=39010 See my picks for links to my stores." are they same thing? "Builder level 5. Texturizer level 2. Scripter level 5. Sculptor level 99."
[1:42]  Kiz Flanagan: *are the
[1:43]  You: no it is not. a house with 85 sculptie prims wont get on a 512 sq land
[1:43]  Aminom Marvin: they are advertisements. I don't say anything about my credentials. The skills list is a joke
[1:43]  Kiz Flanagan: Everyone masturbates in their profiles, including you - don't be a hypocrite. It's necessary for business as you well know.
[1:43]  Aminom Marvin: but however as we know, lawyers cannot understand comedy
[1:43]  Kiz Flanagan: lmfao
[1:43]  Kiz Flanagan: true.
[1:43]  Christblade Beresford: .
[1:44]  Christblade Beresford: nope as I said I believe in a persons right to lead both their rl and sl life in an appropriate manner without being forced to live it by a nanny culture. Watch or preferablly read 1984 and then I may deem you more worthy to speak to
[1:44]  Aminom Marvin: I masturbate in public. I don't need to have a profile to do the talking.
[1:44]  Aminom Marvin: I've read it. What is your point?
[1:44]  Gala Alva rolls her eyes at the leet kid
[1:44]  Aminom Marvin: I am also a strong opponent of banlink and other such systems.
[1:44]  Aminom Marvin: what do you think of banlink?
[1:45]  Christblade Beresford: yeah right if you had REALLY read your either a fool or you realise the importance of fighting against BIG BROTHER
[1:45]  Aminom Marvin: Instead of whining about casinos getting shut down, why not rally against banlink, which is truly orwellian?
1:45]  Aminom Marvin: also it isn't "chic" to talk about 1984. Everyone has read it. You fail.
[1:45]  You: you could do the same instead of hiding in a silly box right?
[1:46]  Aminom Marvin: I am.
[1:46]  You: really? on a fomer casino land that is now for sale?
[1:46]  Aminom Marvin: yes. I came here randomly.
[1:46]  Christblade Beresford: oh sorry would be more "chic" If I spoke about V for vendatta?
[1:47]  Aminom Marvin: try the real "OG's" to use your terminology.
[1:48]  Aminom Marvin: Kiz may know them, but I am sure you don't know them gangstaz.
[1:48]  You: ok so you have read one book in your life... and your power point here is?
[1:49]  Aminom Marvin: you are using stupid references from popular media to try to make me look ignorant, but you make yourself look ignorant by not using original stuff.
[1:49]  Christblade Beresford: my power point is that ppl have a right to choose its called free will
[1:49]  Aminom Marvin: Locke, Rousseau, Aquinas. Heard of em?
[1:49]  Christblade Beresford: A God given right
[1:50]  Christblade Beresford: check Genesis oh sorry lost popularity points there didn't I?
[1:50]  Aminom Marvin: where does it say in the Bible that "thou shall double down"?
[1:50]  You: weren't we talking about casinos? you are now showing me your library card
[1:50]  Aminom Marvin: God given right lol
[1:50]  Christblade Beresford: in the bible it speaks against gambling hence why I DON'T gamble
[1:50]  Aminom Marvin: my argument was simply based on what they have done to SL
[1:50]  Aminom Marvin: [1:49] Christblade Beresford: A God given right
[1:51]  Aminom Marvin: [1:50] Christblade Beresford: in the bible it speaks against gambling hence why I DON'T gamble
[1:51]  Aminom Marvin: [1:50] You: [1:49] Christblade Beresford: A God given right
[1:51]  Aminom Marvin: [1:51] You: [1:50] Christblade Beresford: in the bible it speaks against gambling hence why I DON'T gamble
[1:51]  Aminom Marvin: I needed to quote myself to post the CONTRADITION
[1:51]  You: you are confusing me for christblade
[1:51]  You: its spelled " contradiction"
[1:51]  Aminom Marvin: pointing out typos now?
[1:51]  Christblade Beresford: but I do believe ppl have the right to express their free will in as far as comman decency allows
[1:52]  Aminom Marvin: you must truly be at a loss to make a point.
[1:52]  Aminom Marvin: how is milking money from people "commonly decent"?
[1:53]  Christblade Beresford: and a sl casino crosses the boundaries of common decency as much as the lottery or a bingo hall
[1:53]  Aminom Marvin: so you reduce yourself to a relativist to make a point
[1:53]  You: this is a private sim which has been paid for, therefore the owner can do as she/ he pleases
1:53]  Christblade Beresford: make you own choices ppl.... Don't be forced to do otherwise........... Sadly I g2g rl calls
[1:53]  Aminom Marvin: if you buy server space of a US company, you can't host gambling stuff or child porn etc
[1:55]  You: who said we support child porn?
[1:55]  Aminom Marvin: I'm gone. You both are massive fail.
[1:55]  Aminom Marvin: ta-ta
[2:01]  Kiz Flanagan: Oh, last bit of news:
[2:01]  You: sure
[2:01]  Kiz Flanagan: After trading on the WSE was suspended following the gambling ban, WSE has now reopened trading.
[2:02]  Kiz Flanagan: The announcement is on the research area of their webby
[2:02]  You: Oh really
[2:02]  Kiz Flanagan: TC! :)
[2:02]  Kiz Flanagan nods
[2:02]  You: hah
[2:02]  You: thanks for the info Kiz !
[2:02]  Kiz Flanagan: np!

the end,

gala~

as some of you may have read on the LL blog from two days ago - Casinos, Gambling, Sploder, Lucky Chair - all of the things rewarding you with money by " luck " are no more in SL!

and if you still do it, or get caught or someone tells on you - your ass is going to be in major trouble, dealing with your state laws, taxes, and ban from SL.

i thought at first its another LL scare, just like the age verfication they'd announced a few month back, through some 3rd party age verifier.

but no, this time LL was serious, as in what they call " wagering ".

i was a avid gambler'ette, more sporadic in these past few month, but at one time i was pretty much addicted to these " easy money machines ", lost hundreds of rl dollars and gained little but some back.

one of my last big gambling wins was a nice chunk which allowed me to buy the land i have in Vodou ( next to the Crackden )

but as of lately, i made it a habbit to gamble small but efficient to make some money to pay my land tier fees. and it sure helped. a couple hundred L's here and there paid for tierfees or bought me land and clothing.

i gambled last night, i won good but lost again. i thought, fuckit this is all goingto end soon " maybe ". but the maybe was a definetly as of today! when i logged into sl and checked on most popular places - most if not all BIG casinos went boum. all of them closed down! from ace, to goldrush ( my favorite ), to 12 monkeys, 777 gambling - these places are all gone.

i flew to the landmarks at the popular 20's, only to find myself in between bushes and terraformed empty grasland.

wow........i mean i was really really shocked to see everything gone gone gone. i went to about 20 some places, with traffic, that most places can only dream off and its now nothing but an empty spot.

some of the ads, that were in the most pop picks, were almost sad. a guy holding his daughter, saying " he will find another way on how to feed his daughter". that made me really sad to see this.

some of the casino ne' sayers may say ' well get a dam rl job like we all do '. but get real people. these casino owners worked just as hard if not more then any of us holding a rl job. because once we close the door and get into our cars or bus or tram, we are going home, and enjoy our time in sl. while these guys probably been at work for more then 12 hours already. yes, we all know casino's make money of the addicts, the notorious gamblers. but we all also knew what we were getting into, upon entering a casino. its a 50/50 chance - you win - you lose. name of the game.

now the casino's pulled their plugs big time and left in hordes. i can not imagine how much these guys paid in private sims, in advertizements, in dealing with retarded customers.

i thought this must feel like the " black friday" back in the days, when the stockmarket broke down - some people lost their rl income and now sitting on land that will be hard to even sell. regardless what the traffic is/ was - thats a gone bye by no more.

the economy as it is right now in sl is a inflation. due to the fact, that resell business's sell shit to every joe and shmoe, for low prices or even free. people are stealing textures and skin textures from big designers to make a ' freebie or resell item' for the next one. people don't care about the designers work anymore. it's a dam hustle for pennies on SL right now.

land doesn't sell as it used too, because some sim owners, make 12 some plots in their ancient sims, sell these plots for free and get their tierfee plus some extra $L from their residents. the fear, why most people don't buy from private sims anymore is because the sim owner can pull the plug at any given time and you will lose your investment of rl $.

yet the casino guys and their customers, this is a biggie LL. in the end i am sure LL will bite their dam knuckles, because they are losing millions of rl $, due to the business's moving out of sl.

i guess, its not as ' live your 2nd life, do what you want, be what you always wanted to be " anymore, because LL is probably getting hammered with lawsuits from left to right, first because of ageplay ( hence the scream for age verifications ), second, gambling is illegal in the usa, and as it was said the fbi has their hands in " game " to find violaters.

sl, this is not good, not good at all...i would really like to see the $L statistics from 2 days ago and compare those to a month ahead. malls will shut down, due to no gambling traffic, small and big business's are affected.

i am affected, and you are maybe too.

what's next LL? escorts? those are the ones i thought would have to go first out of sl.

and imho, should be the first getting out of sl. there are many online websites where you can sit your fat ass on a live webcam and charge some deprived fool some money to see you shaking your titties. yet it is easier in sl, you don't need your own website, no you just place an ad and tell them " i have skype and a webcam " and voila, business is going. and it seems its going well for most of them.

i am almost thinking homeland security has entered SL, we are now all being watched on what we do, and if we do wrong - report us to the big brother.

someone has mentioned in the comments about the pertaining LL blog, that people will make underground casinos, something like selling moonshine in coffecups?

but how is that suppose to work. the casino owner and the gambler are not friends. they are actually enemies. to see if you can beat the casino owners machine. where is the gambling thrill when you know you can only win limited money at some underground establishment. yes, its not the same.

and who knows, there may be snitches or a disgruntled " underground member " who blackmails the underground casino owner for more money or else.

it is a no win situation and to be honest - you LL just shuffled your own dam grave!

gala!

i made it, i was one sl year old yesterday!

just to reflect back to all the thing that did happen in this one year. it has been a wild ride. from meeting romana who taught me how to add prims and prims together, make things, build things. layout a city, my creation of " section 8 ".

my first days as a hostess, working in a club called "cherish" for 30L/hr, learning and perfecting the hostess/ crowd getter/ dancer managements skills. it was a dam stressful job, and i worked so dam much and made my first 10k in the world, by working nonstop. then i've meet alicia, and she hired me and i've gotten paid 500L/ per 2 hour event at a club called " catacombs ".

i remember back then i was so stressed with that club job and drama, that i've rented a little cottage in one of the most beautilful mainland sims, in cabera. my landlady name " ravenyin " was one amazing builder, poet, dreamer - she didnt complain one bit when i didnt knew jack about prim allowance and my stuff landed somewhere in her sim , due to misplacement. and there was also the the famous sim right next to cabera, called " tusk", which got accidently deleted by the owner. it was crazy! tusk in these days was the sim for all gothik and fans of darkness. this was some original shit.

then i made a shitload of money with these hippiepay machines,on a 512 sq plot, but i mass tp'd every joe and shmoe in to get them to fill out those surveys and they sure did. this was all in "ambrosia", at one time i had 6k traffic at one night, tp'ing noobs in. back then i didnt know how to make a ' give notecard box ', lol..i did it all manually, camped my 512 sq land and gave everyone a card by hand. explained 1 mill times on how to work these atm's.

i was very successful for a little over a month, til all the copykats came out and around, trying to steal peoples traffic. i fought like a mad woman, shot all these sneaky retards of my land. sometimes i had 4 some dudes on me, and these battles lasted for a long time, but i got em. i was just protecting my business ;)

so yea, i made about 60K, maybe even more, also the land buy and sales went pretty well. i think all in all i had about 80k to start out with "section 8" in topgol.

i bought land and land there in topgol, wanted to make a arabic escort club ( lawls), bought so much shit i didnt needed. damani design builds, i mean just crapola. the land back then was at the most expensive ever. around 12K for a 512 plot. so, to start with section 8, i bought land like mad. i think i had about 10K left, and my land holdings went up to $40 a month for a 1/8 sim.

romana just moved to topgol as well. and we met, and had ideas... that developed pretty quickly. in the meantime, the wanna be philly ppls made an city in the back. and i remember this chic paige and max, they came to my land nonstop to get ideas for old, dirty stuff. they were some off the wall people, for sure.

i kept section 8 for about 5 month. i met the most interesting people there , that are sill friends, even tho we are all in different directions in sl. but they made section 8 even more better. i sold it to alex burgess and topgol now is so off the wall. this is the real deal, thats philadelphia. if you haven't seen it yet, go to topgol and check it out. the best mainland sim there is.

once i left section 8, romana somewhat went into hiding as well. she was so kickass and i miss her terribly. that woman even made a " WAWA" shop in south philly. these are such good memories and i strolled down the memory lane last night after ston and me beat each other in ' mahjong '.

yea speaking of ston, we've been hanging out again. we are both to crazy for sl, maybe thats why we get along so well. because we are moody, nonstop artists and always brainstorming.

his new builds are off the wall btw. i have to take some really good pics. its for a special group o' people who can appreciate the arts and " dub" music and his sl pup that shits nonstop all over the place. the 'french' on sl are known to be amazing builders. look around and see, 'Yadni Monde" anyone?!

yep... the guy can build and builds so fast, its crazy.

anyhow before my memory line stroll, we spend crazy times playing mahjong. ston is officially addicted to the game, just like me. we play as partners and it is major fun, while correcting each other on moves we make.

so lets wrap this up... with some pics, and off to a new year of uhm sl?

who knows what the future holds.

Awwww

Playing Mahjong

I love Mahjong

the end,

gala~

i'm sitting here and drinking some coffee and seriously i am lol'ng here in rl. since i deleted her from all my lists, groups anything, i don't know what that clown is babbeling about, but when i got an offline im about her yappin and running her mouth about with shit and lies about me in her new dam blog - ohmy thats so dam hillarious.

she must think that i really go to people in sl and talk about her?

woman what are you thinking, you are not that important.

as it was said.. " going out of my way to bash her on sl "? dude what pills are you poppin that even makes you think i would tell people that A. don't even fuckin know you, about your childish tirades, B. no one gives a shit about your tantrums. C. delusions galore.

what a dam joke you are and probably always will be while continuing being in sl. if you ever had so many friends, why the hell did you im me nonstop, on a daily basis, since your ass got cut from the carducci empire. this chic logs on and i swear i had an im 20 seconds later. constantly asking me to get on skype, to hang with her. i mean it has gotten to the point where i pretended to be afk, just so i don't had to answer her nonstop im's.

and lets get something straight........i never called you my " best friend " - never, and if you can use your mind without hopping into a ADD tantrum, then you know i never did say " you're my best friend ". i don't use the word " friend" lightly, never had and never will. because friends don't come randomly on a 4 month chat machine. nope, friends are something you build over a long time.

i didn't whine and complain in sl about your dumb ass. wtf for. i was with someone when that essay length of your im flapped accross my screen. and then more im and your ass cut cut off, because i don't want to hear no bitch running her mouth about something that is so whatever.

but really that cow thinks i talked about her on sl.. hahaha thats so dam funny. you wish missy you wish, but again there is no need for that. no one cares about your bipolar tirades. you got issues foreals and should seek some help aside trying to be with a new sl bf every other week. how many have you had since i've known you? i lost count, but they all ended in bad blood. you can play i am so happy happy right now, but i know you are broiling over there, because you can't win this.

your insecurity on sl was coming through every living minute. you wanted to be " carducci's number one employee of the month " - and that never happend, lol. simply because your attitude aint cut for the carducci empire, just like lc she was another troll. you aint black, you don't know how he operates, he used you for his own money gain and then boom your ass was out of the door. lol.

i gave that dumb heffa a chance to sell her whack textures ( aside the ones she made carducci, they were cool ), but no one was gonna buy some of that shit, and i knew that from the gettio. but you are so twisted in your own dam world. not to forget that ' i am boss attitude'. that shit don't flow with anyone, and you shall see. your stalking of your ex lovers, the constant im's " i am so bored.. rez has a big project, yadda yadda ", whine cry bla bla. gossiping about people that you worked with at carducci's. i bet you aint told no one that. lol of course not, you got a image to keep up. but on the real, you may want to delete yourself because you are not cutting it bitch.

go back to your online text rp, ohmy bad, they took your shit too, haha. so whats next, rp as a drow?! rez gonna get tired of you too, once he see's how needy you are. yes thats the word - needy!

you mistake sl to much with rl. every guy you've met in sl was with someone in rl, a partner and you always, and i mean always tried to get more out of an sl relationship by trying to add this person to your rl, should i mention names? nah you know them, i know them. and the " shows", lolol.

rez and madison are your friends - not mine, i care the fuck less on what they do or what their thought are about me. oh and yea man, maybe my pants i sell in sl suck - but i can make em - you don't :) and i sell them. jelousy much?!

get over me, amanda. you are a deceving little heffa. and it will kill you in your last days of sl. make a dam business, sell your textures ( lawl ), do something instead of running your mouth on skype to ft and sonji. do some with you little pathetic so called life. get the fuck real with yourself instead of worrying about what i do. aint none of your beeswax to begin with.

i've always been a " free soul" in sl, and i am really  really glad.......i mean seriously glad you aint breathing down my neck anymore with your bullshit. bother madison with your crap, the one you hated once because ya argued over a sl bf,lol!

you go depressed on minute, but once someone pats you on your head like a lil pup, like rez does, you are all happy. you can't think and act for yourself and when you do try... you fail miserably.

do yourself a favor.. and get some help. trust me YOU need it.

now done and over with you. go away, dont worry about me or my doo da da's. gala is gala, and a surviver a one woman army. you on the other hand always need someone to hold you hand.

i don't.

so buzz off chica, theres is nothing here for you. nothing whatsover. you're done.

gala~

i am gala, yes, the gala alva!

lets wrap some things up here real quick. as i've said many times before, when someone asked me if i " rp ", i said yea, i rp my own rl self in sl, which is an continuance of my rl me. like it or not - i careless.

as for you, amanda, you are shit out of luck, simple as that. once i close a door into someones face, thats it. no point of return, thats how it is in gala land!

you fucked up big time, even went into defense saying "i didn't ask to post on sue's blog" yadda yadda.

let me tell you some, no one put a dam gun on your head and said POST there. you choose to post what you had to say and i told you point blank, its a slap in the face. anyhow to cross me with an im as posted in your blog...

oh no no no honey child, you are barking up the wrong dam tree! cussing at me and the ' buzz off ' bla bla... is all i needed to read and you done, gone, out of the sight out of the mind. but i am gonna have my last lick on this subject.

thats how i play, in rl and in sl. whatever you've told me in confidence will stay with me, because i don't sell out like that and i expect the same from you. if i hear some shit crossing around sl regarding me - trust me it will get nasty. and i will take this shit to the next level in a quick minute!

i am of ethnic background, i am not white, ( moroccan/ ukrainian, for the ones who dont know ) i am not deprived in my sexual doo da da's. yet, i had ancestors who were rl slaves, raped and dehumanized by the ottoman empire.

so when i read something like your stupid ass im, i will react and get ghettofied (defensive on behalf of me and my family that went through non imaginable suffering) on your ass and blank on you like a redheaded stepchild!

how many fuckin ethnic females are in gor anyhow, aside the ones that make fools out of blacks and pretend to be a black slave or what not.

YOU don't know, how rl is as a so called " minority ", first not being from this country, second, not being black but darker then white, not spanish but still a " greencard minority ".

i am tired of people like you and you and you, who sit in their middleclass fuckin homes with a closet full of d/s shit. to " play " when the kids are asleep after soccer mom attends the school game and brings homemade cookies for all the middleclass future - columbine brats!

what the fuck is wrong with you people, i mean really WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG! i tell you whats wrong with ya. you are so in your own comfort zone on your hight tech shit, maybe you donate some shit money thats that's tax decutble to some charitys, ya gotta give on x'mas right.. right right.

but in the end, i pity you fools. yes i may not have the funkiest car, my shit drives and is paid for, dont have the newest furnitures - they are functional and i love my creative mix match, my pc is rockin the 5 yr edge, but the shit works. once it breaks, oh well, i get some new stuff when i feel like it and can afford it. i don't need a cc, i pay cash for all my shit, incl my pc.

thats how it is, judge me, judge my anger, i never care. i have a right to be hostile, because of people like you who sit on their high horses and slamm out comments and knowing i am not like any of you. but still do it.

anyhow, thats what it is. gala is in your face at all times, some can deal with it, some can't. for the ones who can't, byeeee!

i wont think about you, miss you, its like you've never been there. don't try to communicate with me through 3rd persons because it will land the 3rd person on the ban/ mute list as well. simple as that. its all or nothing. thats my way of life. my life ya heard me.. MINE!

i'm done, done with all the haters, the cry me a river kind, the ones who feel like shit now because you realized you lost some that was cool but untouchable, because you didnt knew half of this phenomenal woman that goes by the name of gala.

and no this is not an angry blog, just a slap into some of you ppls faces to wake up and smell ya no good american coffee!

Inshallah!

gala~

no doubt about it. i continued my weekend, by clubbing nonstop at club allure, which has officially now closed its doors. yes the club is no more, and it was fun while it lasted. i had 4 days of full fun, exhausted ? yes, but it was good times to just chill and relax, explore and meeting new people. talking, exchanging thoughts on whatever.

i started my sl day today by joining in to an african event. "dainie" who is/ was the dj and ceo if club allure, played some smashing african tunes. the house was full with people from all countries, from africa, morocco ( representing ), to the netherlands, jamaica, west indies, england, usa.

she played songs i've never heard before, some amazing african deeply lyrical songs, which she explained to us, while speaking on the mic what these songs ment to her and its meaning in general.

there aren't many moroccan artists i know out there who fall into " club music ", so i went with my requests from " cheb mami & khaled, who sing in french/ arabic. i love cheb mami, been a lover of his music for many years. the atmosphere was so chill, everyone loved the trip to africa, people dressed up in authentic clothing. i wore my arab outfit, whom are hard to find because most everything that would include a veil or burqa would be considered "gor". but what i had on ( as seen on the pic below ) is a very detailed arabic themed outfit, which i had for a while and was made by " elle zaftig from bellissima designs ". its pricy but worth it.

African Event At Club Allure

of course there are always people at big venues like they had today, that i really didnt want to see. i ran into two people which i can't stand with a passion. but i was to hyped to even give them the benefit of the doubt. btw in the middle in the above pic, this is " dainie" in blue, an amazing woman and dj. ( i am the one in green ).

the day and night went on and on... i've met so many dam new people, not just in the club, but also later on in the crackden, it was almost overwhelming. the hermit, i usually am, always working on somthing in sl, always trying to create some more and better shit, yet i let my guards down in these past couple of days and went all out and just be myself, my other me, the party me.

people just came up to me and we talked about everything under the sun, mostly held in im, because the spatial chat was full of emotes and singing and talking of this packed club.

i've met a guy there who was really interesting because he got brainsss.

he is from overseas and we had a fantastic conversation. a guy that could relate to my herritage, because he has been to morocco, and even my fathers village named " Tetouan " ( which is about an hour away from Tangier ), the very northern part of morocco, and yets very close to spain. we talked about politics, the difference of people from overseas versus americans, went from there to sex erotique talk, just everything under the sun while we danced and grinded our pixel bodies against one another.

he is a cool and nice guy and i loved the conversation we had. i guess its true.. converstation is the yin and yang to everything out there. ( and yes if you read this, you know who you are, you were right, there are many av's reppin the same skin, lol )

soo here some pics of my kickass day i had.. from there, the adventures went to the crackden where i refused to talk in bracket (( bla bla talk )). ( amanda is so good at this.. i suck... i am not a rp'r by sl standards )

Nubian & Gala Grindinggg

weeee juicy!

Nubian Asleep NOT

nah he is not asleep, lol.

Dancingggg

yea so my weekend exploring ends. i am gonna miss this club and its kickass music.

last night there was a dj named " rex" at allure and he had me get up and dancing in rl, by playing old east coast rap and hip hop. this guy was so off the wall, his mix had the crowd going like a bunch of thirsty people. i was in a pure

'eargasm'.

anyhow this is not the end, maybe a new start, maybe a new gala will scratch the surfaces of sl. by not working so dam hard and making sl a more fun place, meeting people, exchanging thoughts and mind explosions. i am gonna find a new playground with reggae, reaggeton, old skool rap. some people already told me about some other clubs which are not allure but still they ambiente is nice, the ppls are cool and i will so check these out and again " have some fuckin fun in sl"!

nuff said,

gala~

Club Allure

thats right. everyone seems to enjoy themselfs on sl. so now its my turn. fuck work fuck making more stuff, i've been clubbing nonstop, and will do all tomorrow well today as well.

i had fun, do ya hear me.. funnnnnnnn!

no drama, no bullshit, no stupid convos... just love peace music and clubbing.

i've went to some club, randomly... and i was so happy i found this one, called " allure ". bad thing is, they will close the club sunday night/ monday morning. its been a non stop party weekend for me. the club rocks, the people are nice, the men are handsome and i danced myself away, to some old skool rap, hip hop tunes.

to bad they are closing this cool place, but there are many more. club owners from other places came in there. i was asked if i wanted to be a dancer in their clubs several times these past two days. hell i may even do that, on my own pace, when i want.

allure people are dam cool, many jamaicans, west indies and african heads were in there. i've met some cool guys, my friends list went up like kaboom. so many new peoples, so much to talk about. i am still having all the beats, lots of original reggae ringing in my ears. vitamin s anyone?

so yea its sad that they are about to close. its a new found favorite place. but life goes on. tomorrow's party will be smashing! well today rather. it starts at 1PM SLT and will go all night long til they close the doors for good.

it will be so dam packed - and i am so gonna be there.

i danced tonight with a handsome and nice guy from jamaica..weeeee......it was juicy and erotic. and some other guy, dont know where or what, but he grinded on me and whispered some naughty things into my ears.

fuck being miss goody gala. gala went all out and had some helluva fun and good times.

i am exhausted now, it is 05:36AM EST and i need to take my tail to bed, but i wanted to blog about this awesome night and put some pics up. i looked hawt and made 2nd place in best in black. hooo!

Another Grind Victim

Shake dat Ass

Gala's Famous Ass

thats what it is.

plan for today: sleep, get up, shower, put some nothingness on, get on sl, get dressed, go clubbing again and dance my dam brains away!
