Help Stop Smart Meters + 5G

Help Stop Smart Meters + 5G

Now for something completely different that I felt worth talking about here. This was not known until over a month ago when Erik Mouse decided to take a break due to all that has been going with the transitioning from InWorldz to the new grid that had been known as Islandz Virtual World. While he was feeling a bit depressed by this, he was looking at other things instead and found out about Smart Meters being installed on houses. He also found out about there being bad and concerning issues with them that was not helping him feel any better. Issues such as house fires and health issues caused by Smart Meters, privacy issues and the utility companies planning on having the costumers pay for the cost of the Smart Meters by jacking up the bills, and that they will harm vegetation, bees, birds, .etc around them.

Erik Mouse wasn't sure what to do at first, but then he found groups on Facebook such as Pennsylvanians Against Smart Meters (PASM), Pennsylvanians for Analog Choice (PAC), and Stop Smart Meters In Pennsylvania that seemed to have helped him feel more better after joining them. It seemed things were okay until he received an "Introduction to Smart Meters" pamphlet in the mail from the Electric Utility Company which made him feel concerned since his electric meter is still analog and is located on the outside of his wall where his mother usually sits on the couch to watch TV. Luckily, Erik Mouse had convinced his mother to not want a Smart Meter after convincing her of the concerns he has for it. For the time being, it seemed like things were going to be alright, but then he received another letter in the mail from the Electric Utility Company in the mail regarding exchanging an electric meter at his address a few weeks ago. This made him concerned and went to talk to his mother again, this time getting her to send out complaint letter to the Public Utility Commission to try to see about slowing them down or perhaps stopping them.

The good news though, is that a lot of people are working to get the law charged to either allow for analog choice or stop the roll out of the Smart Meters altogether, which is according to a couple of the listed Facebook groups. On a side note, it seems like it is connected with the roll out of 5G which is not good as there are major concerns there with the radiation frequency from small cell wireless and the close approximate placement of them, on top of already existing EMF radiation from wireless. This is all being done in violation of the right of way in front of people's homes and without the consent or input from residents of a number of areas. For more information about that and ways to help stop the roll out of 5G, please check out the Stop5G group on Facebook. Another group worth checking out there is the 5G Mass Action Campaign Group if you are looking to join a campaign to stop the roll out of 5G. And if you are worried about the effects this would have on the neighbor trees and want to find ways to save them, you can check out the Protect Our Trees From 5G! group.

If you have any information that can be useful regarding the concerns Erik Mouse has with Smart Smarts, know what is going on with the Public Utility Commission or anything about any laws being changed to stop the illegal mandatory of Smart Meters from being rolled out, or can help him with any additional steps he might need to take to help stop the electric company from exchanging out his electric meter without his consent, please Contact the Editor and let him know. Any help here that you can provide will be greatly appreciated as he lives on a large area of property where seventy-five to eighty percent of it is wooded. You can also send an email to erikmouse@mythicawoodland.com and he will get back to you to chat with you about what help you are able to provide him.

Beginning of the planning stage of the development on a region

Beginning of the planning stage of the development on a region

It had been a while since the last post and Erik Mouse has begun the planning stage of a region he has running off the machine he uses as a server. He has been searching for stuff to use at this time and has been having good luck so far as he already found and obtained a number of things to use for the project such as a number of trees, pathways to look at, and parts for a castle to look at and has started sorting through them. Erik Mouse is still looking for nature and water sounds for a forest he is planning on his region, and has already located and acquired one hobbit style home along with a bunch of furniture to look at to possibly use inside it with other stuff he has.

If you are wondering what it looks like, this is a snapshot of it that was taken of it on his region.

Erik Mouse had gotten some help already including with getting Becky Shaman to show up on the region in OS Grid for a short while trying to figure out to edit or move things and had caused one castle building to fall apart due to physical instead of phantom being set on it by mistake after the object was un-linked. It had taken some time to get most of it cleaned up, but still not much work had been done.

At this time, Erik Mouse still looks like a little wooden bear as shown below as he still hasn't found a good tiny mouse avatar that he likes yet.

He is also still looking for anyone who can help build stuff including possibly tiny avatars and components at this time. If you can help or know anyone who can and would be willing to help, please Contact the Editor and let him know. Any help here that you can provide will be greatly appreciated as Riven has been a very special place to Erik Mouse. You can also send an email to erikmouse@mythicawoodland.com and he will get back to you to chat with you about what help you are able to provide him.

Help needed for rebuilding a very special place called Riven

Help needed for rebuilding a very special place called Riven

It had gone quiet since the issues that were going on over the past week, yet there doesn't seem to be many who are willing to help Erik Mouse with anything at this time and is unsure as to the reason why. At first, it would seem like the incidents of last week might have something to do with it, but some had said it could do with OS Grid being his choice for the location of his sims while possible help is residing on other grids. Though this might be true, the reason Erik Mouse has Open Sims on OS Grid is because he has another machine with a quad core processor, 16 GBs of RAM, and a TB of hard drive space that he uses as a server for hosting them on it which doesn't cost him anything to connect them into OS Grid, but the real reason is because he doesn't want to worry about the cost of another region on yet another grid while he is paying for Sunny Beach on Second Life and could again be paying for Riven if it returns on the new InWorldz grid that is said to be coming.

Speaking of which, it has been revealed sometime recently that the new grid will be called Islandz or IslandzVW, but it is still not live yet. And to make matters even worse, there had also just been some arguments in the grid's discord server in response to Elenia saying that we are going to come back to a fleet of mostly desert regions due to IP concerns. At the time, it looked and sounded like the reverse of "we restore ALL except from those who stated they did not want their stuff to go to 'another grid'" that had been stated to now what it appears to be stated as "We restore ONLY from who we got agreement" There has been talk of estates being disfigured because of this which is NOT what Elenia said would be saved and restored in the first place! She previous said "We restore, but filter on merchants who EXPLICITLY denied passing their stuff to a new grid", but NOW it sounds like she is saying "we filter ALL that is of other merchants also!" This continued with more arguments related to estates and regions coming back as deserts or what they would end up looking like vs IP concerns arguments.

It then led to questions such as "How if what they used to decorate the region will NOT be restored?" while beginning to see what the implications of "we filter more than those who explicitly did not agree" are now? How would you violate the rights of those who did NOT express their Big NO on forums to have their stuff in restored OAR"s on IW2? Those were the people who did not want it, and now it sounds like they are treating ALL the same and regions will look like deserts with all landscaping gone. From what had been seen, it appeared to look like it went from "opt out" (the 45 merchants) to "opt in" (ALL others) with no word in about a month. That is the point, Islandz will look like a collection of broken regions. The Riven you saw on InWorldz could be considered gone when it comes to landscaping and vegetation added over the years to make visitors comfy and enjoying and nice place to hangout in. That includes regions just made for all and with no rent revenues such as Tabor and Walton Bay or Sunny's memorial in Dolphin Cay, which were parts of the paid 2x2s on there.

Due to this going on with it sounding like they are going to come back to a mostly desert region and not sure what the state of Islandz would be, Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse had gone and setup a region on OS Grid called Riven that is currently 3x3 in size. Since it is only a flowered meadow at this time with nothing on it, they most likely looking for anyone to help rebuild all that was lost with Riven on InWorldz. On top of that, they are also looking for help in building replacement Tiny avatars since there are still issues with the maker of dinkies as well as WynxWorks coming back to the replacement grid and aren't on OS Grid either. This is because they were using hamster tinies bought from WynxWorks on InWorldz with mouse tails in the back that you probably can't see in this picture to make them look like the mice they are supposed to be.

The reason Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse need a lot of help rebuilding including building replacement Tiny avatars because Riven had been a very special place to them on InWorldz. It was not only used for a meeting place for private discussions with Becky Shamen, but a place of story based fantasy creation for possible role play and story writing. Another thing is the region's name Riven could be seen as short for Rivendell, the place of the elves in Middle Earth from Lord of the Rings. Even though Erik Mouse has Asperger's and is considered disabled, he has a lot of imagination that had led to Riven being a place to hangout for anyone who comes around and might want to get into role play. Since he is also considered disabled in a way that he has a limited income where he had been able to afford the region at the Elf Clan discount he had been getting over the months, the idea for the GoFundMe is still on the table to be setup if you are willing to help fund this project for anyone who feels they must be paid something in return for their time and help.

If you are a builder who can build and make almost anything on a grid including possible tiny avatars and components or know anyone who does and would be willing to help, even if you are willing to support and get out the message about the GoFundMe fundraiser when and if it ends up being needed later to raise funds, please Contact the Editor and let him know as any help here will be greatly appreciated as Riven has been a very special place to Erik Mouse. You can also send an email to erikmouse@mythicawoodland.com and he will get back to you to chat with you about what help you are able to provide him.

WeeTies Plan To Build Their Own Tinies For New InWorldz Grid

WeeTies Plan To Build Their Own Tinies For New InWorldz Grid

Around the time the InWorldz Grid was shutting down late last week, Erik Mouse had found out there is a great possibility there will be lack of Tinies and Dinkies on the new grid. This is due to talk of Etheria of Tiny Inc. deciding that they weren't going to port Dinkies back onto the new grid for some reason and the similar coming up from Wynx of WynxWorks where Erik Mouse along with Lilly Mouse had gotten their hamster tinies and added mouse tails to make mice out of them. Because of that going on, Erik Mouse had become very concerned as to what would become of his and Lilly Mouse's tiny and began looking for advice and help for building a replacement of them along with any possible rebuild that may be needed for when and if Riven returns with the new grid.

During that time while Erik Mouse was trying to learn more information about what to do and who could help him, Chaos Chen of WeeTie-Builder invited him to join that Discord Server as he can get some kind of help there, since it is for those looking and preparing to build their own brand of Tinies on the new grid. Sometime later, he had gotten himself promoted to an admin of the server sometime later while talking about needing help and wanting to help. Since he was grateful for the help as well as wanting to help, Erik Mouse had gone and dedicated a whole Open Simulator area on OSGrid for a workshop for builders who are interested and willing to help and assist in building new Tinies. The name of the sim is WeeTies Workshop and it is also a place for building tiny avatar parts, scripts, furniture, .etc for the new grid. Chaos Chen had accepted what Erik Mouse had provided for the server and soon him a few others were showing up on it doing and building some things such as a WeeTies Photoshop and WeeTies Information & Templet area.

Anyway, if you like how this community on OSGrid may be coming together and are willing to volunteer some time to help, even if it is just to design and build fresh tiny avatars and components, scripting stuff, making sounds, gestures, clothing, and/or furniture for Tinies, please Contact the Editor and let him know as any help will be greatly appreciated. You can also send an email to erikmouse@mythicawoodland.com and he will get back to you to chat with you about what help you are able to provide him. In the meantime, the idea for the GoFundMe fundraiser is still on the table to be considered if any funding will be needed to pay for anything needed or anyone involved. It can still be discussed with the Editor if you have any suggestions for it or just willing to possibly support it.

Addendum Edit (By Lilly Mouse): Due to issues with a certain individual who we cannot name on here due to the possibility of a legal threat as well as dealing with a possible copybot related issue, a few paragraphs needed to be removed from here to prevent any misunderstandings. I will also mention the sims on OS Grid have been secured better to prevent any issues of unauthorized copied stuff from being rezzed on them, so you don't have to worry much about that. If you require the inworld logs related to this incident to look over for some reason, you can contact me, Lilly Mouse, by sending an email to lillymouse@mythicawoodland.com and I will consider looking into having the logs provided to you.

Future of Mythica Woodland on Riven in InWorldz

Future of Mythica Woodland on Riven in InWorldz

Due to the situation with InWorldz as explained in the previous post and the grid shutting down after getting OARs of every region on it, it remains unclear as to how Mythica Woodland on Riven will look like when it comes back on the new grid. Part of it is due to some bickering and whatnot that had been going on in the InWorldz Discord a few days ago over stuff going on. That and a number of people were talking about wanting their creations deleted at the time over fears of it being a different grid when it fact it will be the same grid with the same founders, just different servers. Another thing is Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse had tiny avatars in InWorldz and this picture below is what they looked like on Riven there. You may already noticed from the picture that they were using hamster tinies bought from WynxWorks, but they have mouse tails in the back that you probably can't see to make them look like the mice they are supposed to be.

Since it had been said that there are issues with the maker of dinkies and possibly now with the maker of tiny avatars returning to the replacement grid, that leaves a major concern for Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse since their tiny avatars are from WynxWorks.

Even though Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse had gone through their best rezzing out everything in their inventory on Riven to be saved to an OAR, it is currently unknown on what will survive the transition over to the new grid and what the state Riven would be in over there. This makes them feel they may have to start their own GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover the costs for any rebuilding that may be needed including making replacement tiny mouse avatars as they will likely have to pay people to rebuild and make replacements for anything.

The reason for these concerns is because Riven had been a very special place for Erik Mouse and Lilly Mouse on InWorldz as it was not only used for a meeting place for private discussions with Becky Shamen, but a place of story based fantasy creation for possible role play and story writing. Another thing is the region's name Riven could be seen as short for Rivendell, the place of the elves in Middle Earth from Lord of the Rings. Even though Erik Mouse has Asperger's and is considered disabled, he has a lot of imagination that had led to Riven being a place to hangout for anyone who comes around and might want to get into role play. He is also considered disabled in a way that he has a limited income where he had been able to afford the region at the Elf Clan discount he had been getting over the months.

If you are a builder who can build and make anything on a grid including possible tiny avatars and components or know anyone who does and would be willing to help, even if you are willing to support and get out the message about the GoFundMe fundraiser if it ends up being needed later to raise funds, please Contact the Editor and let him know as any help here will be greatly appreciated as Riven has been a very special place to Erik Mouse.

InWorldz Grid Fighting to Survive with New Grid that May Emerge

InWorldz Grid Fighting to Survive with New Grid that May Emerge

First off, I'm going to mention that I'm using transcript for much of this article from the Metaverse Traveller blog so that you'll understand that I'm not taking credit for it. If you feel you want to check out that blog which is about seeking the elusive virtual worlds deep in the free Metaverse and boldly going where few have gone before, it can be found by going to the following link: https://metaverse-traveller.blogspot.com

Anyway, InWorldz had announced the grid was to close a few days ago, but after an outpouring of Resident grief and worries over lost money and content, Beth Reischl, leading founder of the grid 10 years ago, had set up a GoFundMe and was appealing for help to save the virtual world so many have come to love and call home.

Reischl has blamed travel-related communication problems, bureaucratic mistakes and other issues resulted in the shutdown of the grid’s PayPal accounts and the calling in of the company’s business loans. Hypergrid Business reported this and, quoting InWorldz blog, Reischl also explained "In middle May, we took a loan from LoanBuilders, a subsidiary of PayPal." All was going well, but then everything took a down turn. She went on "The first payment was scheduled at the end of May. I received notice from them that it was NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds). I checked our bank account, the monies had not even attempted to be taken and the monies were definitely there."

"Without payment, RackSpace will be shutting our servers down," she went on to say in her initial announcement. "I’ve extended our servers out until Friday, July 27. I can not process cashouts, no payments may be sent out. For that, I’m truly sorry." However, she said she will begin issuing refunds, as much as she can before PayPal shuts access to the accounts, and she recommends customers use the PayPal dispute system on monies they paid to InWorldz which PayPal will have to honor and make refunds from their account although the dispute process may take a short while.

Later in the day, Reischl came back with an addendum to her initial announcement, saying "Many of you are not happy over this, and want to do whatever you can to save the grid. I'm down for that! So what I did was set up a GoFundMe that will update your tiers and if we raise the amount needed, the grid will be ok and we'll set up new payment methods. They will not include PayPal. If you want to keep your home, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/inworldz-in-trouble - And let's make this happen! I can't stand the idea of going down without a fight, but now it's on our users! YOU!"

InWorldz does, indeed, have a loyal user base but there have been many voices raised against the managment over the years including my own at one time when the InWorldz founders, having migrated from another early start-up based on Opensim code, kept attacking Opensim developers and Hypergrid at a time when InWorldz was itself an early fork of Opensim and little different than the growing number of other grids around. However, although InWorldz has it’s roots in Opensim, it has diverged considerably over the years and now runs on the in-house developed Halcyon platform.

Early on in 2017 Hypergrid Business posted an article "InWorldz stops publishing falling stats" which brought a torrent of heated comments from both Opensim users and InWorldz supporters on the reasons why Reischl suddenly decided to stop giving their monthly traffic stats. The gist of the argument was that InWorldz was losing merchants and users which brought a backlash from the Iz community on HB for the article. A year later HB published a new article, this time headed "InWorldz merchants concerned about future" and reported that the public forum for InWorldz had been closed some time to try to block complaints.

Not withstanding all the past drama and obvious drop in traffic many merchants remained on the grid and it appears they are willing to help save it because after just a day the fund currently stands at $16,176 of $17,000 goal. InWorldz is loved by and for its community as much as anything else and it looks like help is on the way. Even though the GoFundMe to save InWorldz has been a spectacular success, reaching near its $17,000 goal in just two days, we are now told the money wont be available in time to pay off the demand from RackSpace where InWorldz servers are maintained.

Merchants and residents are being told to save everything they can and the technical staff are working to provide OAR's and opening sandboxes for those who don't have land to package inventory. The activity has been frantic as the Friday deadline approaches when the servers will be shut down and everything left will be lost. It appears now that this will be the outcome regardless of the success of the GoFundMe appeal and it has lead to calls for a new grid to be set up on the proceeds of the fund. In an update to the GoFundMe appeal, Beth Reischl (Elenia), wrote, "Wow! Everyone has been amazing! So here's where things stand. I asked in discord this afternoon, once we hit our goal, then what? What about next month? After much agonizing and upset, it was suggested by the residents that we use these monies to start a new grid. We'll be able to move OARS, profiles, groups. Inventory can only be taken that can be put in a box to be OAR filed. We'll be opening the sandbox for people who have no region to place their items and can get them back."

She went on, "If you are NOT ok with this, I urge you to please withdraw your support on the page. I do not want to take anyone's money who is not ok with this!" Reading Discord and other comments, it is clear now not everyone is happy with the change of plan. There is a sizable group close to Reischl that want a "new" InWorldz but there are also many voices raised against it and some of those are questioning the ethics of changing the GoFundMe aims. Moreover, some residents are openly hostile to the plan.

On the GoFundMe comments, someone wrote: "I am sorry to hear of the troubles InWorldz is having. However, I will not give my permission for the Full Perm items which I have sold on IW to be exported to any other grid. They were sold on InWorldz for the sole purpose of being used on InWorldz and NOT to be exported to another grid. Such an action would be in total infringement of my Intellectual Property Rights and the intellectual property rights of all other Full Perm Creators who uploaded their work to InWorldz in good faith and according to the assurances of InWorldz management that our intellectual property would be protected: "LICENSE TERMS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TERMS You retain copyright and other intellectual property rights with respect to content you create InWorldz to the extent that you have such rights under applicable law. InWorldz retains ownership of the account and related data, regardless of intellectual property rights you may have in content you create or otherwise own. Even though InWorldz retains this right, your intellectual property will not be used without prior permission and or licensing to InWorldz."

Another said, "Ok STOP! the fund raising was to save IW not to make a new grid!" And yet another was outright hostile, "It was not 'suggested by the residents' that you start a new grid, it was decided by a small clique of people who rudely refuse to listen to the views of others. Most residents don't even know about this yet. I think you have taken money under false pretenses. The initial 'cause' has been replaced by totally different one. You should refund all donations and start again clearly stating exactly what you are raising the money for. As it stands this could be viewed as fraud."

I have kept the names back of those commenting but they can be read on the GoFundMe page so there are arguments for and against and there is no clear idea if a new grid is possible. For one thing it would need to be a Halcyon server because all the OARS are Halcyon code and none are going to work in other grids so it appears. Anyone hoping that a new InWorldz will run on Opensim I am sure will be very disappointed and I have yet to find out if any that have left and gone to other grids have been able to move their content. Likely they will be able to if they have the original inventory before it was ever uploaded to InWorldz but for many, those that have been in InWorldz for years and created there, I suspect they have no choice but to go with whatever is setup to replace the InWorldz grid.

Presently, everything is in the air and in the days and weeks to come a new InWorldz will emerge from the ashes of the old one - probably. I think one thing is for sure though, if Beth Reischl manages to pull it off and keep as many on board with the new plan then I doubt the grid will run as a business in the same sense that it was. What I mean is that it is quite likely those that held faith and voted with their money will want more say in the running of the grid and that may well be a challenge for Beth Reischl who has held a firm hand on the helm at InWorldz since she and others founded it ten years ago.

Update: InWorldz cofounder and former CTO David Daeschler has posted a statement on Hypergrid Business expressing doubts about a new grid and making it clear he has not been involved with InWorld management since 2016 so has no knowledge of the current affair. He said "InWorldz will always hold a special place in my heart."

There has also been heated comments on G+ Opensim Virtual community about all this. If you have questions, comments, or concerns about this, feel free to Contact the Editor or leave a comment below.

Rail Line Plan Through East Side of Mythica Woodland, Sunny Beach

Rail Line Plan Through East Side of Mythica Woodland, Sunny Beach

I have been meaning to add this article here for over a month now, but I'm now working on getting myself caught up here and have now added it.

Anyway, it originally had come to Erik Mouse's attention by discovery of activity in the Mythica Woodland area that two individuals, whom I'm not about to name here, have begun making plans to run a rail line through the east side of his land without consulting with him by IM of what their intentions are first. Though Erik Mouse is aware there is already a road platform in the southeast corner of the sim and he doesn't have an issue with that as it has been there before he moved into the sim, the additional rail plan he had discovered goes beyond that, which has him first questioning the amount of prims it may use since he pays a big monthly rent for the prims he is allowed on the sim.

Erik Mouse has already taken the time to confront them and had seen plans from them that looks like this rail line will be going around in a circle through at least eight different sims in the area, which you can see above. On top of that, they had also told him they have a blimp stopping at the gates of the Abbey build in Mythica Woodland that no one told him about either, which is already considered possibly in violation of the theme there being strictly medieval and fantasy.

This had Erik Mouse feeling confused and upset enough that he had notified his mistress by phone of this development. Her response is that she had told him that she planned on coming on sometime later to chat with these individuals about this rail line plan. After Erik Mouse had gotten off the phone, he realized he had forgotten to mention to her about the blimp stop, but figured he will tell her about it when he sees her.

While Erik Mouse was waiting for his mistress to come on SL, he has also starting talking to another friend of his about this, Becky Shamen, who was building the Abbey in the Mythica Woodland at the time. She had given a suggestion that he may have some kind of bargaining chip to negotiate with the managers of the sim directly east of the Mythica Woodland and guarantee that he can ride it ban blockade as it's only fair to do so. The reason is because the additional rail line in question likely has to do with there still being ban roadblocks against Erik Mouse where the road and rail line currently runs though the sim directly east of the Mythica Woodland.

The reason behind the bans there against Erik Mouse are not quite clear even though one of them was because of him being found idle on the public road and the resident who had set the ban against him claims there were complaints against him by other people, but no one had said anything to him about any such complaints being made and for what reason(s). As far as taking down these bans against Erik Mouse down, it just seems to not be happening because here is all kinds of trouble between the resident who had set the ban against him on the one parcel and others around the sim directly east of the Mythica Woodland that they don't even fully understand, which is according to one of the developers working on the rail line at the time.

Erik Mouse has also told Becky Shamen about the blimp stop at the gates of the Abbey build they were building in the Mythica Woodland. She suggested that the blimp can stop instead on the platform where the road connects through the sim as there is already a train stop there and a blimp stop there also makes sense there.

Erik Mouse also has gotten in contact with an old friend of his at the time who found out about this and they had suggested that he might have to put up those privacy barriers to keep them off his land and make it invite only. Even though Erik Mouse doesn't know about using the privacy barriers, making the Mythica Woodland invite only is not an option as he currently has a public club there called the Gathering Oak, and doing so will be against the Sunweaver Estates covenant where his area has to be publicly accessible.

At the time, Erik Mouse felt that there will probably be a meeting happening somewhere with a number of people including those involved with the development of the rail line sometime soon, but wasn't sure what is to come of it or what he is to do. His mistress, however, did come on after a while and he ended up talking to her more about this possible rail line plan without my consent and went over to see what is there. Even though the prim that was going into the northeast of my area from SunWater Three had been removed for whatever reason, Erik Mouse had found that the map layout plan was still there and had gotten his mistress to take a look at that.

Upon explaining to her about it and thinking that it might have to do with the issues with the sim directly east of the Mythica Woodland, she soon mentioned that she had talked to the one developer working on the rail line about this. The result is that she was told they had said that if it does cross Erik Mouse's land, it will only take a prim or two and would consult with him before going that route, but Erik Mouse hasn't heard anything further about that happening as no one has consulted with him about the rail line yet. Part of it sounded like a trestle would be needed if it were to cross his land and he was under the impression that it would take much more than a prim or two, but his mistress says a trestle can be done with one prim these days.

His mistress also mentioned that she actually wanted the tail line to come by her place and maybe hook up with her track, but the rail line developer said her system makes hers look like a toy. She also suggested that maybe they could run it through her land and avoid the place where there are still bans against Erik Mouse, which he mentioned that it felt that it might be a good even even though the rail line developer would have to be contacted if she wanted to see if they can come through her land with it instead to go around at least the place where there are still bans against him and work on getting them removed from the land office parcel behind it. His mistress then said that it is kind of foolish to have Erik Mouse banned from a land office, unless it is somehow linked to other properties where he shouldn't go, and that the alt route isn't even worth proposing if we can't run it along side the land office.

Later on, Erik Mouse did find out that the land office bans were linked to the other locations where he shouldn't go and had gotten his mistress to request removal of the bans there. Since he is no longer banned from the land office at this time, perhaps the alt route can be worth proposing even though there is no idea yet on what is going on with that. For now, if anyone reading this has any ideas on how they can help this little mouse, please feel free to Contact the Editor and he will respond to you as soon as he can to talk to you about whatever ideas you may have.
