Funny how when one is asked for truth and provides it it's still thought of as a lie. This is why I often say a person honestly makes their own truth to almost all things. It's common that if an accident is eye witnessed by any number of people all of them seeing the exact same thing. Each and everyone of them will have a totally unique story as to the occurring events.
So when I was asked just today actually about the truth of how some in the words of one person were, "Butthurt" because the Starter Avatars that were made by I and my partner rosa has our "brand" on them and supplied this information. We were still accussed of lying. Then too we were told that we were totally wrong about cliques too. Though the two aren't connected to each other all together.
In fact the fact that rosa mentioned cliques and the starter avatars together certainly made it seem I suppose they were mutually about the same people and/or events. Let me be the first to say that too was a lie. Though others may have you believe otherwise. Anyone that truly knows me and rosa knows. We'll give you the truth no matter how much it may hurt even ourselves. We're not one to sugar coat our feelings or beliefs just to make anyone else happy.
If you like being in a clique good for you! I personally have no real objections. After all what is a clique? Lets review that a little. A clique by it's very definition is: an inclusive group of people who share interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity. A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative. Given this definition it certainly sounds to me like it can be a nice group of "friends" doesn't it? At least when it was spoken out against that's what we were told it was and NOT a clique. Not that it matters to me just stating the obvious here.
So you have your opinions and I have mine. I will forever and always stand my ground and not hide what I say or know to be the truth. When asked for the truth I will give it to the absolute best of my ability. If that too offends you and you don't wish to speak to me knowing I might just remember it being said and happen to mention that fact at some point when asked to recollect it. Then by all means please refrain from speaking what you feel and believe too to be truth. I don't mind either way.
At the end of the day when I lay my head down to sleep. The only ones whose actions I have to be happy with in the dealings of the day are mine and my girl rosa's. No one elses matter. Though of course the friends I keep may play some part. They too are responsible for themselves. After all we're all supposed to be adults. So do what you like and live your life your way. Enjoy it thats what life is for to enjoy. I'd love to get along with everyone fact is as much as anyone can attempt to do that not everyone always will.
While I still believe IW to be a great Family of people. Truth is even families don't always agree on everything. Hell I argue with my real life family a lot. Does that make us hate each other? No just means we each understand we won't always agree though we damn sure do respect the other persons right to not have to. When we're asked a question we give an answer that is the best one we can give or we just refrain and decide it's just not worth it. Either is a choice. Which one we choose when is totally up to us. Today I chose to use my voice and say what I feel like saying loud and clear. So here it is for all to read and enjoy where it won't be deleted or erased. And if what may had been needs to be resaid. By all means state such I'll put it right here so you can see it again.
Till we see you InWorldz. Wish you all the best and much success!

Cliques!
Dont you just hate Cliques? I do with a vengance!
We have been watching Cliques form within IW for a long time now, we have seen some join the clique then for some reason they leave or no longer log in so much. Cliques will form wherever you are, at work, at school, in the office & most definitely in VW's. People in Cliques can be downright nasty, although they give the impression of being so nice. Cliques thrive on Drama & being the cause of drama, even though they will be adament they hate drama! They also post in code... leaving little inuendos that only someone else in the clique will understand... This has been bothering me for quite some time now, most especially since we discovered ruth was returning until Ele had the time to implement the Multi choice, which i might add had always been the intent anyway, but some Residents objected to it being Our Starter Avatars that were used, spouting Favoritism. etc etc.. Objecting to our logo on the jeans, what creator doesnt put their logo on their clothing? FFS.... So the founders, fed up of the complaints from 'some' decided to bring ruth back until we had the Multi choice... I mean, as if they dont have enough to do! So let me set the record straight on a few things here.... Firstly Ele put the call out for the starter avatars the moment she fixed it & wanted to see it run, thats how Ele works... she was on IDI at the time & a lot of Residents were present... We just happened to be the 1st Merchants to get her the package she needed complete with the licence which she already had from us anyway. There was no Favoritism because of the amount of Land we hold, Ele doesnt work that way. Oh & lets set the record straight on that too... Most of our Regions were taken over from Residents who approached us because they needed to offload them & they knew we wouldnt just clear the damn things & leave any residents there without a home. There are very few that we have actually just gone & bought from the Land mass.
We have recently been referred to as Walmart! Well you know... I would much rather sell Affordable quality Items than be seen as some sort of rip off merchant! We try to keep our prices fair for everything we sell & our rents fair too, so every Resident can afford to have their own little 'Dream'.
So now I have got that off my chest I will end with saying... I dont have a mean bone in my body & we will both do all we can to help a person in need. I can spot a faker a mile off, infact we both can. First impressions are rarely wrong, and once we both that get feeling we avoid these people like the plaque. We have each other & we have those we consider true Friends, they know who they are.... as for the Cliques... all I have to say to those who redicule others for their work..... What goes around comes around & one day soon it will all come back on You!
Have a great day in Inworldz
We always do ;)

New Starter Avatars, replace Ruth on Inworldz!
Ele had been wanting to do this, since forever, but couldnt quite manage it..... Then 2 days ago it came to her & she figured out how to code the Avatars in for new Residents so they no longer appear in that awful default Avatar known as Ruth :P
We had already done starter avatar packs when she 1st called for them, so when we were asked for skins, shapes & clothes etc... we already had some set up for her, but we changed the clothing on them at the last moment to something we had recently designed. Keeping both Female & Male avies the same....
So here are the New Residents of Inworldz.... Full Perms too ;)
The Teals as they have become known Inworldz ;)
We were delighted to have been approached & be able to help out with the New Avatars
Merry Xmas All....
Gaius & rosa ;)

Inworldz vs Secondlife...
We dont go in SL very often any more, mainly only to collect things from our huge inventories that we have forgotten, thats if its still there in our inventories of course, as SL are always losing things :P
However when we do go in ... I am finding it to be more & more frustrating & so glad we found IW which we can now call home ;) Firstly in SL now... I dont know wtf is going on, but whenever we log in, my collar is either on my shoulder or my ass... it is never on my neck/spine where I have always had it & where it is supposedly locked into place, just as it is in IW. I have actually given up re-attaching it now as it always ends up somewhere else :(
Another frustrating thing with attachments that i have discovered in SL is .... I am finding things attaching as huds when they should attach to my feet or pelvis or something, so then i have to bloody re-attach everything & in SL now with its lag, that can be a nightmare :(
New Residents in IW often complain about some of the known bugs we still have in Inworldz, but ya know... we are finding SL to be far more laggy & buggy then IW has ever been... As for Inventory loss, well if we lose it in IW its no big deal as it only cost us time to upload it, but if we have lost things in SL & I have lost loads of my own textures in SL from the clothing I have created..... textures that cost me a damn fortune to upload over the years, i might add.... I cant even begin to imagine that cost *rolls eyes
Yesterday I was adding up the cost of IW compared to SL, cost to us personnally for what we now own in IW..... I tell ya we almost died when we saw what the tiers in SL would be costing us for the amount of sims we now own in IW, & that was without the cost of purcahse & set up.... it would be an impossibility for us to achieve our dreams over there... I am so glad we are no longer lining SL's greedy pockets
All in all, when you look everything over & compare.... Inworldz comes out on top for us ;) Yes our community is still small in comparison, but hey we have something inworldz that we have never known in SL... we have a community that cares.... that along with Founders who listen & go out of their way to help in any way they can do... well what more could we need?
and on that note I leave you all with our Blessings for a Wonderful Christmas & new years.... we know ours is going to be a great one with all we have planned ;)
Big hugs to yas
Rosa ;)

Busy times
Havent posted here in a couple of weeks, we have just been so busy with things so today while he is away I am doing a catchup ;)
Been reading some blogs, Ele did an Inworldz History which we both found very interesting, sometimes we miss those early days when we were very few & our world was very peaceful... last xmas the founders created Christmas Island & the snow tranq did was awesome!
Christmas Island ~ Inworldz 2009
This is a time I suppose when most of us think back & reflect.... our thoughts are with those we have loved & lost... Christmas from long ago in our past that just seem to come right back to us as we pull out the tree & tinsel & those memories come flooding back, sometimes they make us smile, sometimes they make us cry & sometimes they make us laugh out loud, but without them where would we be?
Inworldz we have been so busy that i have hardly had time to get any xmas stock done, but its no big deal because in this world we can take it easy, there is no mad rush to sell, sell, sell... if ppl buy then thats great, if they dont, then thats ok too, we cant all produce what the average Avatar would like to wear ;)
Most of our time these days is taken up with our rental business, we enjoy creating new enviroments where ppl may want to live or conduct their business... sometimes we get it right, sometimes we dont, but we get to do what we want to do & we enjoy doing it.
We mostly have a laid back attitude to most things & try not to worry too much overall... I think we compliment each other in being that way.
Thats all from me this time
See you Inworldz
Rosa ;)

Being Thankful....
Well I am a Brit, so we dont have a Thanks giving day, but after reading Ele's Blog I decided to name some things I am Thankful for.
My Family.... I count my Blessings each & every day for my 4 kids, all grown up now & were a Nightmare to raise, although I dont so much remember the nightmare days, I seem to gloss over those as I recall them being young. Then there are their kids to be thankful for, 9 grandkids & probably more to come ... eeekkk. Without my Family I really do not know where I would be today.
Now I also have my puppy whom I include as part of my Family, even though the kids dislike him a lot lol... Pongo is 7 months old, he has destroyed every pair of shoes I own, destroyed my bedding, is more trouble than he is actually worth, but I love him to death & at the end of the day He is always there to Love me unconditionally, so long as i keep on feeding him haha
I am grateful for Inworldz without this grid, I may never have come to know the True Happiness that is He... I may never have come to believe oncemore that there are more good People in this world than there are bad... The Community we see here in Inworldz has strengthened that Belief.
I am grateful for my Online friends whom I have never actually met face to face, but whose spirits have touched me many times over. Not everyone hides their True self online.
Last but certainly never least.... is my Partner. I am thankful for having His Love, His guidance, His protection, His friendship... we may not have met face to face as yet, that is in our future plans... but He has touched my Soul in a way no other has He lights up my Life & fills my days & nights with all that is He. He is the reason I wake up smiling & looking forward to my days in our world, together, as we should be.
and on that note I leave you with this same Question Ele posed...
Until I see you InWorldz... what are some of the things you're thankful for?
