Trying to deal with reality IV

It´s been awhile since I updated here. This is what has happened since then.

On April 1st I payed the full tier of 295 USD to Ars PayPal account. I did this in the hope that the subscription for the sim tier that Ars had told me about was still in place, so that the tier payment for April could be automatically deducted from there by Linden Lab. If nothing else that would at least give us a little time and the sim would not be shut down due to non-payment of tier.

I haven´t gotten any confirmation that the tier has been paid.

On April 9th we finally got Ars death certificate and the letter from his Estate to Linden Lab, both as a fax to the legal team and as attachments to the ticket. (Ars father had first tried faxing it to Linden Labs legal team without success for several days.)

The letter from Ars Estate to Linden Labs:

"Linden Labs
Attn: Legal Department – Fax No. 415-243-9045

Re: Ticket No. 4051-7546025 (Closed) Ramifications of SL Partner Passing
(Ars FirstLife name). SL Avatar Ars Northmead Southern Charm sim 5435.agni.lindenlab.com

Attached is copy of Death Certificate for (Ars FirstLife name). who passed away March 12, 2010.

(Ars FirstLife name) died without a known will. Under Arkansas law in the absence of a will, his estate goes to his surviving parents which in this case is the undersigned.

We, beneficiaries of the estate, have no objection to (my FirstLife name) “Bock” as surviving partner in ownership of sim 5435 taking over (Ars FirstLife name) interest in sim 5435.

If there are other SL properties held by (Ars FirstLife name) that need to be disposed of please advise.

Sincerely,
(Ars fathers name)"

When I added the documents to the ticket at Linden Lab I also asked them to contact me if they needed additional information or - if need be - Ars father directly (as they may not trust communication with me in some matters). Hopefully they - or I - will not need to worry Ars father anymore. It´s a terrible thing for a parent to lose a child.

As I wrote to Ars sister in a mail after she had informed me that the fax mentioned above had been sent to Linden Labs and was sorry for the delay because her father was "a little under the weather": I can completely understand that your father is a little under the weather. My younger sister passed away in cancer a few years ago and my parents were completely devastated by that for a long time. As my father keeps repeating "Children are not supposed to pass before their parents." I am also terribly sorry I have had to burden him with the matter with Linden Labs at this difficult point in his life. Hopefully Linden Labs will now act according to our wishes and we can leave your father to the more important matter of caring for himself and your mother. Please tell your father I am very grateful that he took the time for this.

I check my mail every morning before I go to work, every evening when I come home from work and every night before going to bed.

Meanwhile I try to convince myself that no news is better than a flat refusal and wait...

Marsdeb på återbesök

Jag var på OrmDrickas söndagsparty i full - nåja - läderutstyrsel när jag samtidigt fick IM från Guyke och Millimina om att nu hade Marsdeb loggat in, den avatar som Ars RL familj skapade för att delta vid hans minneshögtid. Det blev ett hastigt klädbyte! (Längre fram på kvällen noterade Guyke, att jag hade två olika skor på mig, dessutom var en svart och den andra brun...)

Nu kom alltså Marsdeb (genom en av Doug´s systrar) på återbesök i SL. Jag samlade snabbt ihop de SL-familjemedlemmar som fanns inworld. Underbara som de är kom de genast trots den sena europeiska timman. Det blev Guyke Lundquist, Janttu Winkler, Millimina Salamander och jag själv. Ars bror Dejerrity Mycron var inte inworld när vi började men anslöt på slutet

Efter att inledningsvis ha visat delar av hemmasimen igen och det nya underbara och permanenta minnesmärket som Tymus Tenk har skapat på Mirromere, så tröttnade vi på Marsdebs "noob-look", särskilt hennes "duckwalk". Vi beslutade oss därför för att ge henne en radikal makeover!!!

Det följde några roliga timmar men till slut hade vi ändå gjort om Marsdeb till en "Foxy lady".

Jag var själv alldeles för upphetsad för att dokumentera det hela - i vanlig ordning. Note-to-self: Remember you have a blog!

Nu hade vi turen att Millimina Salamander hade mer sinnesnärvaro så ni kan läsa mer och se bilder, hos Magasin Millimina

Nå eftersom modeoraklet Millimina inte berättar i sitt inlägg vart shoppingrundan gick kan jag ju göra det här:
Shape & skinn från Hank Larsons "PXL"
Hår från Carina Larsens "Amacci"
Skor från - naturligtvis - min vän Adrina Welders "AW Design"
AO från "Vista Animations"

Kläderna minns jag inte, det får ni fråga Millimina om...

Trying to deal with reality III (glimpse of hope)

After receiving the e-mail from Linden Lab on March 30th 2010 I reopened the ticket with this comment:

There is no will, thats the problem - or I would not have contacted them in the first place.

This is totally confusing!

I am asking Linden Lab to grant me the privilege of paying them 295 USD a month to keep my home and memories of the good times with Ars and also to save them any other inconvenience!

All I want from Linden Lab is the possibility to pay the tier for the sim Southern Charm on behalf of the avatar Ars Northmead, so that that avatar can retain ownership. I do not mind if my darling Ars remains the official owner of our sim. I do not want or need access to Ars account or the rest of his other property in SL.

 

 

Later the same day I added this to my ticket:

 

I have also now sent an e-mail to Ars/Dougs RL family asking them to send you his death certificate and a message concerning Doug´s estates position in this matter.

 

It will hopefully reach you soon.

..................

The same day I also sent a note card to M Linden, the CEO of Linden Lab Mark Kingdons avatar in SL, (with a copy to Belinda Linden) summarizing in a more orderly fashion - than in the ticket - what had happened.

Today I received another e-mail (I cannot understand why it did not show up in my inbox this morning at 5 am my time, when I last checked it...it must have been stuck in cyberspace somehow)

Requested Information: Hi Bock

Apologies for the delay in responding to you, I was discussing this further with our management team to see if there were any other solutions we could offer. Unfortunately at this stage there arent, but I have forwarded to our legal team your latest notification about contact with the family of Ars/Doug, and I hope that we will be able to resolve this in a speedy fashion for you.

I will keep this ticket open so that you can communicate with us here should you need to.

The Postal address for our legal team is:
Linden Research, 945 Battery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attention: General Counsel.

best regards

Belinda
Concierge Team Coordinator

At the moment I am totally falling in love with Belinda Linden! This was a glimpse of hope that I was sorely in need of.

The Swedish Easter hunt is on!

We are hunting from April 1st - April 11th.

The locations of the hunt differs. It can be a full sim or just a smaller parcel. Although most are shops or stores some can also be a place where someone lives.

Sometimes the eggs are well hidden and sometimes not. There should be a hint if the egg is more than 30 meters from where you land.

This is not the kind of hunt where you get a landmark for the next place to go in the egg. We do it a bit differently.

There are TWO first locations in the hunt.
Start location 1 - Swedish Institute
Start location 2 - Vampi´s shop at OrmDricka

You can go to either of these start locations to get the complete note card, which includes all the 19 places where the Easter eggs can be found, by clicking on the board which has the picture at the top of this post!

The Easter eggs all look the same.

When you find the eggs just right click them and buy for 0 LD or - in some cases - only click to get the contents. The eggs contain original content only (i.e. NO shitty overused freebies...)!

Good luck!



My humblest excuses to the Queen of all Queens, Ms PetGirl Bergman (lovingly known as "dronningen"), for my delay in posting this!
