Let’s hear it for small steps in virtual diplomacy–Topgol style!

Some thought it was impossible, and for all I know they’re right. But the owner of the local casino in Topgol is considering removing his camping chairs.
He IM’d me to let me know that Linden is considering a change to advertising rules for casinos, which might allow for other means of producing traffic. If this goes into effect, he said he would pull the camping chairs. Now, of course I understand his willingness to pull the chairs has to do with the change in Linden policy, not necessarily any action on our behalf. But. Still.
I believe his motivation to make any change comes from a desire to work with us. I believe he wants to be part of a community that is growing and getting more organized and collaborative every day. And when I ran into him last night at the Slippery Noodle (a rockin’ blues club in Topgol with live music), we actually had a really nice chat.
Now we’ll see what happens, but for the moment I remain optimistic. Not just for Topgol, but for the future of virtual politics.
Viva Topgol, people.
I hope he doesn’t break his word (or in this matter - the Lindens will finally do something about the traffic count…) and I’m glad you settled this matter peacefully (says a person who walked in the middle of the war today
). The actual traffic count is bullshit, as the camping chairs risen it. I remember a RPG sim, which done that to beat another one in the statistics.
Yay for Topgol, yay for LAG, yay for Myg and Alex!
W00t!!!
I’ve been to places with camp chairs. Some people love them. I think they are silly. I wouldn’t want them in my back yard either.
i’m glad to see things might progress and you’ll have a better topgol, its such a great place to visit if the ag is goen it will be even better ^^
Very encouraging news. Double W00T!
