Bleu Oleander: the theater level is just about finished now
stevenaia Michinaga: if you explain about that I've been watching it evolve
Bleu Oleander: have you been up recently?
stevenaia Michinaga: nice that others have found it of interest too
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Bleu Oleander: so pretty ... the gardens
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, a few nice places to hang out
Bleu Oleander: I think once we have events up there more will make use of it
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: so can you explain about the additional area I have to donate to the group and how I do that and where it goes?

In order to make this conversations as clear as it sounded to me, the numbers have been changed to letters to indicate how clear this conversations sounded to me

Bleu Oleander: basically you can donate the tier that you're paying for plus your free PPA if you want to
Bleu Oleander: Yaku has donated  which because he donated it to a group is valued at PPP
stevenaia Michinaga: I donated xxxx and have yyyy max
Bleu Oleander: LL gives you 10% when you donate to a group
Bleu Oleander: if you're at the $x0 tier level
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Bleu Oleander: you have xxx plus 512 to donate (yyy)
Bleu Oleander: which becomes ZZZ with the 10%
stevenaia Michinaga: it says total contribution AAA
Bleu Oleander: that included yaku's PPP
stevenaia Michinaga: ok
stevenaia Michinaga: so how do I give more to the group?
stevenaia Michinaga: (and where does it actually go?
Bleu Oleander: you can give up to XXX
stevenaia Michinaga: ok
Bleu Oleander: you give it in the land window
stevenaia Michinaga: let me do that
Bleu Oleander: and then its in there if we add land
stevenaia Michinaga: ok
Bleu Oleander: so we have enough extra to get an additional plot
Bleu Oleander: actually larger than my plot
stevenaia Michinaga: saved and my total contribution just went up to QQQQQ
Bleu Oleander: we could ask LL to release some to us next to this land
stevenaia Michinaga: I'm so glad you know what this means :)
Bleu Oleander: yes, so your contribution is QQQQ - PPP (yaku's)
Bleu Oleander: lol
Bleu Oleander: took me a while to figure it all out
stevenaia Michinaga: as part of the land group I hereby suggest you to ask LL to release land
Bleu Oleander: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: wait, the max contribution went up to YYY now
Bleu Oleander: so we could add UUUU sqm of land and not pay anymore
stevenaia Michinaga: can I don;t more now?
stevenaia Michinaga: donate
Bleu Oleander: you can only donate to your tier level amt
Bleu Oleander: plus your free ZZZ
stevenaia Michinaga: or contribute rather
Bleu Oleander: contribute yes
Bleu Oleander: so that YYYY
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: XXXX + PPP
stevenaia Michinaga: ok, shall I contribute YYYY now?
Bleu Oleander: once you donate that to a group its valued at ZZZZ
Bleu Oleander: no
Bleu Oleander: you've already contributed, yes?
Bleu Oleander: AAAA?
stevenaia Michinaga: XXXX
Bleu Oleander: oh ok
Bleu Oleander: total?
stevenaia Michinaga: is my contribution
Bleu Oleander: that's good then
Bleu Oleander: its valued at XXXX
Bleu Oleander: in the group
stevenaia Michinaga: ok.... if you say so
Bleu Oleander: ZZZZ (from you) + PPP (from Yaku)
Bleu Oleander: is that right?
stevenaia Michinaga: I think I will need a chart if I ever would want to understand this, luckilly I really don;t need to
stevenaia Michinaga: I see no such number as ZZZZ anywhere
Bleu Oleander: as owner I think you can see a breakdown?
Bleu Oleander: I just see a total amount
stevenaia Michinaga: yes.... total land in use YYYY
stevenaia Michinaga: Land available BBBB
Bleu Oleander: yes
stevenaia Michinaga: total contribution QQQQ
Bleu Oleander: that's bigger than my plot
stevenaia Michinaga: "Your contributuon" (me) XXXX
Bleu Oleander: perfect
stevenaia Michinaga: with (YYYY max) below that
stevenaia Michinaga: great
Bleu Oleander: that must be the total plus 10%?
stevenaia Michinaga: so I can contribute the additional RRR?
Bleu Oleander: so we should have the WG discuss this before LL gives the land to auction
Bleu Oleander: what additional?
Bleu Oleander: it looks right now
stevenaia Michinaga: the difference between the total contribution XXXX, and the Max YYYY
Bleu Oleander: the $BB tier, YYYY, plus the free 512 = XXXX
stevenaia Michinaga: (DDD)
Bleu Oleander: I don't know what that mean
Bleu Oleander: I think you're fine atm
Bleu Oleander: you can only donate your tier level amount plus your free BBB
stevenaia Michinaga: let me send you a screen shot
Bleu Oleander: any more and they will bump you up to the next tier level
stevenaia Michinaga: ok, we don;t need to do that, I say nodding cluelessly
Bleu Oleander: on my screen, it shows yours at QQQQ plus yaku's at PPP for a total of QQQQQ
Bleu Oleander: next level is $CC ... don't go there lol
stevenaia Michinaga: agreed
Bleu Oleander: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: you would think it would warn me of that folly
Bleu Oleander: if you look on your SL account page
Bleu Oleander: you can see your own breakdown
Bleu Oleander: log into to SL website
Bleu Oleander: and look at your monthly billing
stevenaia Michinaga: right, Allowed holdings: XXXX.00 square meters
Bleu Oleander: yep
Bleu Oleander: that's YYYY+ zzz
Bleu Oleander: see? not so hard hehe
stevenaia Michinaga: so we don't know what the "max" amount represents
Bleu Oleander: I still get confused
Bleu Oleander: no
stevenaia Michinaga: rut row, I rely on your clarity with this
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: look on your sl account and make sure you are at $AA tier level
stevenaia Michinaga: yes
Bleu Oleander: I think max is based on that
Bleu Oleander: my max is based on my tier level
Bleu Oleander: and i've contributed my max amount to my own group
stevenaia Michinaga: then why is it different than "Allowed"
Bleu Oleander: I don't have an allowed on my land tab
Bleu Oleander: or do you mean the web page?
stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm, no this was in the tab that I emailed you
stevenaia Michinaga: the land tab of the group
Bleu Oleander: oh you emailed?
stevenaia Michinaga: no, sorry, my account page on the sl site
Bleu Oleander: under "land use"?
stevenaia Michinaga: perhap it is too late to be discussing that
Bleu Oleander: perhaps lol
stevenaia Michinaga: no, on the web page, I sent you the land tab of the goup
stevenaia Michinaga: never mind
