OMG. Satan moved next door. It is true. And he built a monstrosity of a castle there, complete with a blood filled hot tub, fleet of bats, rainstorm and a completely paved yard (because Satan does not have time for yard work, don't you know...). Yes - the new neighbor actually told Jerremy that he was, in fact, Satan.
Jeebus - don't you think that someone claiming to be Beelzebub would move to a place with a tougher sounding name than Wonderful Land? And what? Satan doesn't want Mainland? All the Prince of Darkness could afford was a medium sized parcel here? It isn't even a corner lot.
You cannot tell me there is not a sim somewhere where his blood soaked castle would fit in better and his neighbors would welcome his bats. To tell the truth, I would not care that Evil Incarnate lived here if he had better taste and his home fit in better with the rest of the gardens and lovely buildings in our sim.
So I put up some rainbows and a butterfly emitter. I did a quick sign of the cross over the water that courses through our sim and...A-La Peanut Butter Sandwiches! It's Holy Water! (Hey, I grew up Catholic - I know how these things work.)
And he paid $30k for the parcel next to mine. Satan got screwed. I got my same-sized parcel for $15kL. And I am going to tell him that. It should make him feel really good...heh!
Maybe it's mean, but the devil made me do it.
In my case, the neighbor bought up much of the sim and proceeded to strew around every imaginable kind of junk for sale . . . lots of it emitting particles . . . huge eyesores. It's his idea of an outdoor mall. Of course, no one ever shops there, but there the stuff sits. So many of the builds are nice and unobtrusive. Ya gotta wonder what possesses people to create mediocrity or ugliness when they could create beauty.
ReplyDeleteOMG death to neighbors with bad decorating tastes! I found the nicest green plot with neighbors surrounding me with fabulous taste, and I felt like I was really lucky to find such a spot. Then the people next door sold their plot to a guy from France with the first name of Superman who actually dresses in several variations of the man of steel. Anyway, he proceeded to build a "Fortress of Solitude" on his plot complete with blurry black and white snow sort of textures and giant 40m long tubes that stick up in the air and tower over my not too short house. Now he has a helicopter permanently hovering over it too. I asked the estate owner if anything could be done because there are so many covenant violations, it's not even funny. They responded very quickly to talk to him, and supposedly he agreed to put it up in the air since it is not anything like the Thai island theme around him. But alas, he moved like 4 of those 40m tall things and kept the rest. Looks like I'm stuck with it for now.
ReplyDeleteHey Tymmerie, do you think Superman and Satan could go buy a place together? It could be like a fire and ice kinda relationship. ;)
Ahh... I'm guilty of this myself, I'm afraid. I believe I have the only Vampire gothic mansion on the beachfront in SL. :D
ReplyDeleteIt IS, however, very tasteful with a formal garden, hedges and statuary. And the only properly finished parcel on the sim. I've not had any complaints yet - I think perhaps the neighbours are all too scared of me to do so...
This is why we A) bought estate land from the Otherland Group and B) snatched up the neighboring plot on the island when our neighbor moved out.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your neighbor troubles Tymmerie. Good luck with the exorcism. ;)
tym, why don't you move to sailor's cove? the place is beautiful and the covenant would prevent blood filled anything. they just opened up a bunch of new sims so there is plenty of land available, i believe. think about it!
ReplyDeletelmfao!
ReplyDeleteYou had me laughing from the moment I saw that Satan pic from the South Park movie (gotta love that movie - Saddam: "Ah Satan, don't get pissy!")).
Sounds like you have the neighbour from hell (lol).
Reminds of a few months ago before we moved, our neighbour created some crazy spiralling carnival type monstrosity which rapidly emitted huge super mario brothers characters, skulls, stars and hearts (what a combo!). We were 600m in the sky and they floated allll the way up. ARGH!
I love your tactics of trying to overdo the niceness with butterflies and rainbows! If you'd like people to come hang around your land hugging whilst wearing angel costumes, I'd be happy to help!
aww..Satan needs love too..perhaps with your plethora of rainbows and happiness, he'll see the evil of his ways, or just move out..cause damn, inviting ones evil friends over to ones evil lair, only to be greeted by the neighbours cheer, must be embarrassing for Satan and his minions.
ReplyDeleteI am at the point where if I could find a priviate sim without too many restrictions, ie Treehouses, that I would sell and move *sigh*
LOL!! At least you have a good sense of humor about it! Maybe a well placed crucifx would make him squirm!

ReplyDeleteDamn, you're so popular that even Satan reads your blog. And...he has a blog too!
ReplyDeleteOMG you guys - LOL I must have hit a nerve. This is a big issue for peeps!
ReplyDeletePenny - if they could only get together and all build on the same sim somewhere and leave the rest of us in peace!
Genna - omg Superman and Lucifer would be great roommates! ROFLMAO!
Oh, Winter. /me shakes her head.
Meara - we were this close to buying that parcel. Now, we are kicking ourselves for not doing it!
Chesnut - you know, Jerremy wants us to move, so I might mention that to him! (And, yes, if you are keeping score at home, I just admitted that Jerremy and I are living in SLin.)
Katoria - you might be sorry you offered the angel-costume-hugging thing because I am willing to try anything. I LOVE Wonderful Land.
Elusyve - your dream place to live is what Wonderful Land is/was like - pretty, quiet, lovely neighbors, few restrictions, etc. Dang it!
Margo - don't think I haven't thought of that! I found an antique store in SL that sells religious items!
Kat - PMSL!! He reads my blog!!
I would have expected old Nick to build below ground level.
ReplyDeleteIt was the "A-La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!" that broke me up. Sesame Street religious humor.
Casius, the Amazing Mumford reference is just one of the many reasons I am on the express train to the Netherworld. (Hey - good point about underground living quarters!)
ReplyDeleteWell honey, my 40m tall wall of cute smiley faces doesn’t seem to have worked. It actually looks like it made him angrier. Oh well what can he do? Emit more bats? And I thought those were more for Vampires.. oh well there was that whole Meatloaf album.. so bats could hang with the big S (no not Superman). I think he must be in witness relocation. Maybe sent here for anger management issues… I think we should bake him some cookies and make up a big pitcher of holy water lemonade.. It would be the neighborly thing to do.
ReplyDeleteDarn it to neighbor’s lot, I hate being the 14th commenter. It seems to be breaking the theme by going over 13.
And you know if we were not living in SLin… none of this would have happened!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, My Love! It must be our living in SLin that lured Lucifer to live next door!! Now, whatever will we do about that? :-P
ReplyDeleteIf you can't beat them join them? You know I own three castles. These two are pretty vanilla as far and being the Prince of Darkness and his consort. I'm sure I could re-do the land we have and really scare the Heck out of them. Darn, I can only muster up a "Heck"... well and just a "Darn" as well. Still, I think I can be more of a bad ass them him. But then again, I grew up, and am not 15 years old.*
ReplyDeleteHmm, that SLin thing. I guess I could move out.. was that what you were thinking *sigh*. If only there were some other way to correct this wicked offence against the Gods of SL. Is there perhaps some offering that could be made to the Lindens.. if so I am sure it would be costly... sadly all I have in my pocket right now is 10L.... :-P
* Note: SL is a wonderful place to express yourself in many ways. I have nothing personally against anyone trying to be the Lord of the Neither Regions.. in SL. (if it were in RL I might want to send a strongly worded anonymous letter to the newspaper). Just want them to use some common sense and not be a "greifer" and junk up a nice looking sim. But then, I guess that is what gets them off.
