Message to Anshe Chung
Thank you for halving the price of your canyonside land in Cottonwood so that I could finally afford to pay for it and thus complete the shape of my land there.

I hope you enjoyed having it sit for sale since November when you won it at auction, and put a ludicrous price of L$6.0/m2 on it - as it is PG land, and in the "glut of snow" release too. I have enjoyed looking out my window at the orange-edged parcel, thinking about your tier fees for land you don't want for yourself, that someone else (me, for instance) would have enjoyed winning at auction and actually... I dunno ... enjoyed for their own use.

And while you're at it, how about doing something with that 146m2 of land at the edge of the Sim, that is raised up oddly high above everything else, and has a 'For Sale' sign on it right by my tenants' window? Maybe you should actually ... oh, this is radical ... set it for sale?

Side note to Buck Spinnaker. Good job on bidding above what I cold afford for that 2048m2 in Cottonwood that reverted to Linden ownership and was put up for auction last month. I am happy you were willing to have it sit on your tier for a month before lowering the price today to below what my losing bid at auction was. I was happy to take it off your hands for a cheaper price than I would have paid if you'd not bid at auction at all. So thoughtful of you to save me money.

(Side note - http://secondlife.com/land/ reports much heigher prices per m2 for auction land than land sold in-world. Even taking into account the fact that newly-released land is often more desireable than recycled land, it clearly indicates that the age of the auction land baron is on the slippery slope to over. I'm not selling any more land till v1.6 comes out and I can develop it first, with landscaping and housing, and then sell the whole lot as a package. Thank you Philip for listening to me back in October. Six months wasn't too long to wait.)

...well, that's a given.

However, I do recall an amusing thread a while back with speculation on what part of the DSM-IV could be applied to her (him? them?).

I forget what my guess was.

7 months into my SL tour of duty, and land ownership is still full of shit. I'm still trying to tier down after that 512sqm impulse-buy next to Route 66 in Blue a while ago.

something is fishy about the current land prices

Interesting. I noticed that too, but assumed it was some temporary glitch in the data. I guess not.

Perhaps someone bought up a bunch of public land in little bits, then sold them to their alt before joining them? Either way, it's very odd.

Why'd you make it a hotline post anyway, instead of a thread we could join in on? :)

i don't expect much though.

after the andrew linden "ll is stupid" post i've lowered my expectations of ll significantly.

Sure she could. She probably is. It all comes down to motivation and trust though, doesn't it. There's a reason why people trust Jamie and Tom with GOM (Better Business Bureau membership and corporate license aside) and don't trust ANSHECHUNG.COM [sic CAPITALS]. Jamie and Tom are very open. Anshe was the person up in arms when land sales data publishing was first proposed. Anshe does not want to be investigated. Ergo, Anshe has a huge bunch of things to hide.

Does anyone actually believe she is (only) the little army wife in Germany, teaching at a local school and playing SL in the after hours while raising her two kids - as pictured in the First Life Picture thread? Still sending her profits to her mother in China, of course, because her imperialist uncle had his eyes torn out by the bad bad Commies. Wasn't that the story?

Lisse, I don't mean insult you, but we all know that you are unhappy because I succeeded with land and malls while you failed. It has been like this since very first day when we had land for sale side by side in the Mahulu region and my land sold while yours didn't.

Now you seem obsessed with my person and keep slandering me like this. Repeatedly, in other comments on your website before, in forums, in world, in comments to other bloggs. Even my real life is not off limits for you. And why? What have I done to you? I never meant you any harm and I worked hard to get to where I am now. I am sorry that you were not able compete. But please don't blame this on me.

I hope you find something new that is fun for you and finally brings you economic success. I do mean this. I wish you all the best and hope you will stop make things so hard on yourself. When I bought your land in Isere this was not pleasure for me. I liked what you had built there. Maybe you felt like the evil shark Anshe was having a feast on the bones of your dead rental village. The reality is I came there, admired your nice architecture and spent 15 minutes running calculations back and forth. When I couldn't find way to continue what you had given up on I cleaned the land and cut it up. I thought I could at least give you quick sale so you can start with new project.

I hope you had Happy Easter holiday. It is this special holiday when we remember resurrection of Christ and how he forgive people. We should all learn from this and put grudges and bad feelings behind. Lets talk with each other and not about each other.

Anshe

Wow, this is the first thing I've ever seen [info]anshe_chung write, but god, what a total dickweed.

No wonder sensible people dislike this person. What a fake, pompous, arrogant prick.
