Haunted house?
The local people here have said this house is haunted. Supposedly, a man died here and his son hung himself. It is in serious need for remodeling (and looks like it was being done recently) but I don't think it's haunted. It does a good job looking like one from the outside though. The inside is musty (the door was wide open & the house is for sale) and part of the ceiling fell down but no weird things happened. Of course I didn't go upstairs but that was because I wasn't sure of the structural integrity.

Oh the craziness of miscommunication!
Really, if I had a linden for every misunderstanding, fight, and dramafest that occurred due to simple miscommunication I could buy like 8 sims. -sigh-
So last night there was a big brouhaha with Midgar and one of my rental team members. In the end, it really came down to one person not knowing what they were supposed to do and miscommunication everywhere else. Had my internet not been acting up badly, I could have set it straight before it spiraled out of control.
One thing I have learned about SL is to do things voice whenever possible. This is because a) inflection in one's voice is VERY important and b) you can't be bitten in the ass later with chat logs. A LOT of things I've said in text have been taken completely out-of-context, blown-out-of-proportion, and just completely misunderstood because one couldn't tell the inflection. So much of our communication is non-verbal and it absolutely is lost in text communications. Not even emoticons can accurately bring it across.
