It's always humorous to see how people lie about their own actions and try to cover their tracks.
A long-time tenant of mine in Baileya where I have the Coney Island of the Mind boardwalk and attractions IM'd me in distress to say a woman who had just bought the land next to our group land was coming in her house, bothering her, etc. so she banned her, and then this woman put up a giant sign saying HERE ARE BAN LINES.
Like that's going to work on me.
The tenant is upset and although she has been there for awhile asks where she could move, so I suggest some other options.
Of course it's the tenant's right to put in the ban list anyone she wishes.
This "nice new neighbour" then starts fire primming. Gosh, I haven't seen fire prims since like 2007. Quaint!
I fly out there, and put the neighbour -- named Raziel Lyric (which shows her age since she has a last name) with other likely alts in all the land in our group on Baileya.
I return some of the fire prims that encroach.
She IM's me the following faux apology:
[2018/06/08 14:44] Raziel Lyric: (Saved Fri Jun 08 13:17:08 2018)Hi. How are you?
[2018/06/08 14:44] Raziel Lyric: (Saved Fri Jun 08 13:45:42 2018)Your tenants are really driving me mental. This morning one of them kept coming into my home over and over again. I had to just watch my nearby chat eject him like ten times. o.o I put up ban lines on them because they had banned me because I was trying to see if anyone was renting the house. (I just bought the land next door.. I've already made friends with the other neighbors beside of them) Instead, they put me on a ban list which makes it difficult to fly over when i'm trying to build stuff on my land. I started to be crappy about it and put up huge signs, but couldn't stand the sight of them myself and took them down. (I also returned a gate to you because it opened on my land and they already had their ban lines up at that point so I was being petty. Sorry for that.)
I respond in the only way you can with assholes like this (um, "coming into the house to see if it was rented" when the rental box is paid outside?)
[2018/06/08 14:49] Prokofy Neva: No, you're driving all of us "mental" with your ugly big signs, dearie. You will find yourself banned from all our lands because you're been creating a public nuisance. You don't even have a home on your land in Baileya, I examined it this morning, so it's hard to believe you.. My tenant of long standing whom I have no reason to disbelieve told me it was you who went in her house, which is why she banned you -- which is her right. The sign was even forcing her to move out and she was looking for other rentals. What you will find is that if you put up big signs like that, I put up even bigger signs and I'm not going anywhere, I've dealt with people like you for 13 years in SL and do not suffer fools lightly. You will remain in my ban lines even though you have taken down your signs until I see if they remain down -- the end. I don't need "friends" and I appreciate neighbours who abide by some basic sense of decency.
[2018/06/08 14:50] Raziel Lyric: My home is in smoky.

You see, all the land she has bought in Baileya was EMPTY. There were no builds on any of it, except for the big ugly signs. Today, she's added a little house on one parcel but the rest are blank and all were empty yesterday.
As for "her home in Smoky," the next sim over, it requires a real stretch to believe that my tenant, who has her own home and life, is going to go all the way up to Raziel's "home in Smoky" and go in and out of it, it's not adjacent.
Meanwhile, my tenant, is convinced it's not going to get better. She moves out and refunds.
WITHIN FOUR MINUTES someone named MINOS Neximus moves in. Another oldbie with a name. Funny, that. How did he find out about this rental SO FAST? It's not even in search yet since I figured it wasn't so desirable with the fire primming. Long, long experience in SL lets me know this MINOS is likely related to Raziel Lyric.
I fly out there, refund him in full, boot, and ban him. Usually people caught like that shut up and move along, but some sputter, which he did. I block him.
She then puts out more fire prims -- I return some more and put up a) Power to the People! -- a bright, closing nuclear power plant that helps people sometimes to understand what a good neighbour was worth b) Be Back Soon, the Wired photo of me and c) Tyger, tyger burning bright/in the forest of the night/what immortal hand or eye/dare frame thy fearful symmetry? Does poetry work on the beasts? It just occurred to me. Sometimes I'll put up "Something there is that does not love a wall..."
Raziel kept returning things that in fact were not even near the border, indicating possibly Firestorm abilities (she may have temporarily joined the open group, it does that) or griefer viewers.
I decided to just remain on site holding the prim in edit which would make it impossible to return, and went AFK. But I noticed that the entire time, on my avatar radar, I see Raziel Lyric and MINOS Neximus remain together next to each other. So obviously, he's not a random fly-by who just "happened" to see a rental 4 minutes after it was refunded, he's related to her.
In fact, it's quite possible that Raziel's shtick all along was to harass my tenant until she moved out, then move in her boyfriend, although she had a whole bunch of land she just bought. Won't be the first time I've seen that! CherryBomb Hare comes to mind, for example.
I root the items better and they stop returning.
Today, I see now not fire prims -- they would bother her on her own land LOL -- but giant walls with pictures of fires, and also my Coney Island big board returned, which I put up to hide an ugly photo-real wall on a build next to us.
Well, I'll wait. I've waited 4-5-10 years sometimes for things in SL to go away and I am impervious to this kind of blackmailing.
Meanwhile, Raziel puts up this false and self-serving notice on her land:
"She's mad, but she's magic. There's no lie in her fire."
Hate the fire?? IM Prokofy Neva and urge him to apologize for being rude.
Love the fire?? IM me for a bag of marshmellows and a chair to sit in!
Sounds like a nice way to get a free bag of marshmallows!
