As many of you will have noticed by now, there is a lot of junk floating/lying/standing/buried/airborne in and around babylonia. In case you wonder, this is NOT the default look of our island
.
We are however unable to clean all this up until carmen returns from holiday..... We tried to convince some people to come over and clean up their stuff (which some did - thanks to those people), but others run as soon as approached
.
The chat area is particularly hit by this wave of junk, so we mostly gather on other places at the moment. Please look for green dots on the map to find out where we are 

I haven't heard from her, but if I remember correctly she'll be back beginning of september....
good luck with the studies!!!

Hi all,
I am probably the latest member of the island and I had a nice and interesting tour around, thanks to Natlia.
I was surprised by all the digital pollution that was everywhere. I am sorry for Carmen when she sees it after her holiday. A lot to clean up. During our little tour we were brutally attacked by an Italian escort lady who has illegally set-up her business on the island. When we got near her dwelling she came running at us and started slashing her sword, then shot us and then put us in cages. Not a very nice way to be introduced on Babylonia. Natlia promised her that she will be deleted after the owners return. The sooner the better!
Hope to see you folks around Babylonia soon.
Kind regards, Waves Wiefel

very sorry to hear about that!
This is not the usual state and atmosphere of our island, as you were probably told. Try repeating the experience when we've had the chance of cleaning stuff out!
welcome to babylonia!
I had my little revenge at the woman who attacked us: I put invisible objects in both doors of her house. Good luck getting in! I was planning to fill the house with sheep, too, but couldn't because of a full server error (go figure).
I know, revenge is a bad thing, but I happen to love practical jokes and don't often meet someone who deserves them, so I couldn't resist.
Sorry to hear about your introduction with our island, Waves. I'm glad it didn't scare you away!
Welcome to Babylon!
Euh... Natlia, need any help? ![]()
The ***** put some prims over my place... oh well, that was to be expected. She sent me an IM too:
[0:18] Greeny Catteneo: (Saved Sat Sep 15 18:17:11 2007) you modify the door on my home
[0:18] Greeny Catteneo: (Saved Sat Sep 15 18:17:19 2007) i make a report abuse
[0:19] Natlia Beresford: go ahead and report abuse, I don't care because it won't help you
[0:19] Second Life: User not online - message will be stored and delivered later.
[0:20] Natlia Beresford: especially not now you blocked my house
[0:20] Natlia Beresford: you are not a member of the group the island was made for
[0:21] Natlia Beresford: your house is not supposed to be on it
[0:21] Natlia Beresford: the owner of the island would have deleted it immediately if she wasn't on a vacation
[0:22] Natlia Beresford: also, you are using your house for things the island is not meant for
[0:22] Natlia Beresford: the owner is likely to report you for abuse when she comes back
[0:24] Natlia Beresford: all the official residents of the island want you to leave
[0:25] Natlia Beresford: if you make me fix your door, another of them will do some other annoying thing to your house
[0:25] Natlia Beresford: have a nice day
[0:38] Natlia Beresford: oh, I forgot to say I could have reported you for attacking me
[0:38] Natlia Beresford: instead I was nice and just made a little joke with "your" house
("user not online" messages deleted for readability)
So... if anyone feels like playing some practical jokes... I'll open her doors and you can have your turn.
EDIT: she took her stuff and left, no practical joking possible I'm afraid.

well, for the better in this case I guess...
maybe also let's not get too carried away with revenge actions... Although in effect we are in our rights, Lindens tend not to study abuse reports too well, so they might do some nasty stuff with your account because of some AR they think is justified.... and it takes a hell lot of time to get that rectifiied, if you are able to do so at all, since there's no phone support anymore for people who are not owning massive chunks of land....
as an example: I am, for some unknown reason - as far as I know I didn't misbehave -, unable to enter the SL forums, I openened a support ticket somwhere beginning of june, and I still haven't received even an answer.....
Tony told me he has "leave his stuff".
I went online and it's true 198 prims were free!!
I took the liberty to copy some tables again. In case you wonder what I'm talking about: I try to keep the parcel full with prims. The prims can be deleted bij Babylonian builders, they are shared with this group. This way no extra (unwanted) items can be rezzed.
So if you wanna build delete one or more tables (they are 40 prims) and you can. Please remember to copy some cubes (shared with the Babylonian builders group) to fill the parcel if you're done building.
Love,
Mary

well some good news, though i don't believe all tony's stuff added up amounts to only 198 prims... From what I remember he (and that friend of his) has way more junk...
Anyway, good work mary! 
Any news from Carmen or any
Any news from Carmen or any idea when she will be back?
I know I haven't been seeing you guys a lot recently, it's not (well, mostly not) because Carmen is away, it's because I'm working very hard on my studies.
