Location: Richmond Island

It did not take long for a sleazy bounder to take advantage of us at Richmond Island.

The end of the semester is a busy time on every college campus, and in a momentary oversight of arranging matters for a Business-School course using the island, we had not reset the permissions to create items on our land.  I saw Kevin, our island manager, in our (real life) library and he told me the sordid tale.

In little more than a few days’ time, an Italian opportunist, now banned from Richmond Island, had built a house there and rented it out!  We had to evict the tenant (gently, given Kevin’s lack of Italian) and ban the landlord.

Linden Lab wants none of this type of fight—they leave land violations of this sort in the lands of the owners. It’s another example of their anarchocapitalist intentions…though I wonder if they wouldn’t intervene if a major corporation’s property had been abused in that sort of way.

There is a silver lining this this, however; we can keep Pappy Enoch occupied in his original job for the university. He’ll be standing guard with his “scatturgun” to run off “enny I-talian cosy-nostrils or even un-orgynized criminals, tho if’n I runs intu purty I-talian gals, I will bee errspeshully gentul wif ‘em…”

Hehehe. Well Well Pappy. Before taking up that guarding job again you should take care of some familybusiness eh

Whut? N put mee out o’ a watchman’s job?

Rest yo’ purty head, Miz Tenchi.  Ol’ Mistophur Kevin knows Secund Life better’n I knows the bottum o’ a Moonshine Jug.

He dun re-set stuff rite now.  It were a tempurary errur becuz o’ a passul o’ stew-dints hoo am a-usin’ the I-land this-hear sirmestur.

Well i guess Machiavelli was right after all ... even considering SL wasn´t even thinkable back then.

I don´t know how you set up permissions on the land but I guess restricting it to certain groups and otherwise having a short auto return cycle of about 5 minutes should do the trick.
If Kevin needs assistence I will try and help
