Cannabis Makes JohnLight Happy

Cannabis also makes JohnLight rich !

I did not started to deal nor smoke cannabis, keep cool, man... I just found a new campsite, themed on cannabis. The big weeds plant on this screenshot is paying 2L$ / 5 minutes... which is the double of my standard rate ! So yes, cannabis makes me happy, man !

By the way, did I say that the location of this plant has been shared in the "Free Money from JohnLight Raymaker" group, man ?

Apfelland is limited !

This time, I'm sure, I experienced it myself. Not only the new dancepads in Apfelland are limited by a blue popup, but the benches as well ! The Apfelland benches at 2L$ / 10 minutes, which used to be totally time unlimited now have a 60 minutes (12 L$) time restriction.

This is one more sign of the end of unlimited camping, and today was probably my last visit there. It's crowded and slow, and now it losts its last appealing feature...

Bad news again - this time from Apfelland

I had quite a bad surprise today, while JohnLight was camping in Apfelland. I was working on the various banks and techniques to earn easy Linden Dollars, when the familliar blue pop-up window appeared.

The question in it was "Are you still interested in camping ? If you don't answer, you will be unseated !". I did not answer, as a test, and JohnLight got ejected from the spot, standing up automatically.

Apfelland was one of the last surviving unlimited campsites. Ok, it was alwas very busy, laggy, and finding a spot was sometime just impossible, but once you got one, it was good. These times are over, and this is one more bad news.

In my view, filling questionnaires to earn money is more and more an option, I will do some tests with that, to see how much work this activity does involve.

Normal day, just a bit buzzish - 11'520 L$ by Ginko

I've nothing particular to report from the camping front today. Apparently the buzz about the gambling being prohibited is getting bigger and bigger.

After all my visits in Second Life, I belong to several groups, and one of them was organising a demonstration to protest against the end of gambling ! There are also a few places where the slot machines are still operating, but most of gambling places are now off.

With the present Ginko interest rate, I'm earning 15 L$ a day from them, the half of my daily objective from camping. This does not mean I can stop camping now, but it is a symbolic step for me.

I will start hunting for new campsites soon, but these days JaneLight and JohnLight are camping a lot in Petunia Island.

The place that can't be named !

I discovered a new SL feature today. There is a 3 L$ / 15 minutes camping spot, apparently unlimited (at least up to 33 L$). I then wanted to landmark it, to then be able to share it with the "Free Money from JohnLight" group members, and then with readers of this blog.

When I clicked "Create Landmark", I received a blue box saying that I could not bookmark this as the owner did not wanted. The name of the Island is camazotz... I hope you will enjoy it.

For the time being, I still can not understand why someone would not its place to be landmarked. I can see why for a very private place, but then why having dancepads ?

One more Second Life oddity.

JohnLight's landmarks book - Best-of

This post is a list of all the campsites I use and prefer, with a short description. From my point of view, some are amongst the best camping in Second Life. The head of sections are the name of the islands.

Banquo
My favorite campsite for semi-supervised camping. It offers 3L$ / 10 minutes, but is limited to one hour camping sessions. It's in a dance-club, but not a lot of traffic and no moving trees or such memory consuming items.

Apfelland
This one is really CROWDED and full of complex objects, so a good performance is needed. On the plus side, it offers unlimited 2L$ / 10 minutes camping benches. I must mention that sometimes I got ejected, so I guess that the owner tries periodically to identify passive campers. My "personal best" here was 112 L$ in an overnight.

Oceania
You will find here the Skye Club, with three Dance Dance machines. These were the first I found, and where I met Josephina. They have many pads paying zero, and their total limitation is 150 L$.

Willow Beach
You will find here Club Xero, with three Dance Dance, limited to 100 L$, but with no pads paying zero. Note that recently they were frequently off.

Monevole
This island is hosting an "Hot'n Gay club" (sic...), with a series of 3L$ / 15 minutes pads, limited to 15 L$. Really stable, no issues.

MediaScape
This island is hosting 2 Dance Dance limited to 300 L$, which is the highest limit I know. They have no pads paying 0, but there rate are really slow. Be careful, the rates are expressed for 30 minutes !

Ernst
You will find here the Twist Camper Cafe, with unlimited 2L$ / 10 minutes bench ! However, I tested it with ammounts up to 10 L$ with no problem. But when I left both avatars there for a night, the bench was saying 56 L$ each, but I never received the money !
