What to do with the Das Joy Phim Haus?

Ranma Tardis · Post by **Ranma Tardis** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 3:35 am

Hi,
I have been called up for active duty in the Iraqi Freedom. I am scheduled to be here until March 2008 unless extended.
The Das Joy Phim Haus has been empty for the most part since Professor Rummell got sick last December. I have not had an email from him since Early February.
It breaks my heart to see the house so empty and disused. My Army schedule changes at the drop of a hat and that makes it hard for me to make a commitment.
I saw a couple engage in sex a few days ago, the limit of the activity.
I am seeking input from the community on what to do.

I would [i:38thiey1]*like*[/i:38thiey1] the Joy Phim to stay as a general meeting/event place, 'till you and the prof return, but clearly events in NFS are not very regular. It'll get better but I cannot see into the future .. So it's up to you. If you decide to sell it: Think of the fun you'll have making a Neu J-P Haus in the [future] 3rd sim

be careful over there

I invite all of the citizens of the CDS to use the Joy House for meetings and events. All I ask is that citizens wishing to use it send me an IM and post it in the forums to avoid conflicts.
It is not about the money, it just makes me sad to see the Joy Haus empty and unused.

I'll ask the group. The venue may not be popular with some members.

I would like to see people use the Joy Haus.
What is the opinion of the CDS community? Does the community gain by the presence of the Joy Haus? Does the community want to see the continued presence of the Center for Democratic Peace?
I would like to know what is on your minds

[quote="Ranma Tardis":cmruuyq8]Does the community want to see the continued presence of the Center for Democratic Peace?[/quote:cmruuyq8]I think many of us are *interested* in it, but with the profs talks suspended and few people organising RL political meetings, there's <unfortunately> little demand for such a meeting place.

[quote="Ranma":cmruuyq8]Does the community gain by the presence of the Joy Haus?[/quote:cmruuyq8]When meetings are organised there, people discover the interesting data, but *generally*, little is going on in NFS. I'd like to say "Let's have big fat political debate!!", but that's not likely to happen. Also, I'm not trying argue against the J-Ph, just giving my perception of the sim.

[i:cmruuyq8]OK, I'm sure Ranma wants to hear from more people than Pel and me![/i:cmruuyq8]

Since I do not have the support of the CDS community have decided to close the Center for Democratic Peace. I may relocate a new version of it to Caledon or might not.
I am placing the land for sale. I will make available a duplicate of the building for a fee. The P400 lot is $32 and the P410 lot is $20. There is no rotating sign.
I am retiring the Das Joy Phim Haus name and do not wish for it to be used.
Rudy and myself thank the community for having had the chance to run the Center.

Hello Everyone â€“
Ranma has sold the two properties of the Das-Joy-Phim-Haus to me, for which I am thankful. She has kept the building for herself, and it is no longer to be seen at the other side of the bridge.
Although I do not have a specific plan for this land, my intention is to keep it in the character of the community. My vision is to recreate an Alpine setting like my native Switzerland, with no more than one villa, a hedge around the border, and possibly a couple of dairy cows wearing the traditional bell. Hopefully this concept would be agreeable to the town.
I am relatively new to Second Life (about six weeks now), but as soon as I found Neufreistadt I liked it very much! I am happy to be able to join this community, and look forward to being your neighbor.
GrÃ¼sse/Greetings
Nikki

Welcome to our community Nikki, I hope you'll be very happy here

I hope you enjoy Neufreistadt as much as we do and please let us know if there's anything we can do to make you feel at home. I've always admired Switzerland and I hope you don't mind if ask you the occasional question or two. -Pel

You are always welcome to ask questions. I don't know everything, but if there is something I don't know I can help find the answer.

I have decided to pull my support from Phase III of the Neualtenburg project and am placing my last piece of property for sale at $20. It is located in CN and is close to the telepad. I will pay rent until it is sold.
I never had much of an impact on the government as it started down a path that is distasteful to me. In short I lost my faith in the government and those in positions of influence. The authority and validation of a government comes from the faith and consent of the governed. Laws and covenants alone are not enough.
I have withdrawn to a small plot of land that a special friend has loaned to me.

Sorry to hear you are unhappy, Ranma. I have read through most of the first two pages in this forum and do not remember seeing postings from you making complaints or suggestions (perhaps I just missed them or forgot, and if so I apologise). Although I like the way this community looks very much in SL, I do not know much about the politics of it. I am aware there have been upsets in the past. Perhaps what you are describing is a reflection of them, either because of something unresolved there for you or because you share a frustration others have had as well? Whatever the case, I would like to know more what it is you feel upset about and how you think that could be improved. Perhaps I may come to agree with you. In my opinion it would be best for you to start a new topic thread for this, however, unless for some reason it is directly related to the properties you have sold.

My understanding was you were selling the properties of the Das-Joy-Phim-Haus because of your deployment, and that it would be good for you, me and everybody if I were to purchase them from you.

GrÃ¼sse / Greetings
Nikki
