I have a question: Did anyone announce, before they took up residence somewhere, that they were going to and where? I was under the impression that everything here was free, as long as it didn't belong to someone else first.

It depends. If they took an empty apartment or one on of the buildings that was filled with books, or in the forest, then no, not usually.

If anyone uses public space, they let the rest of us know. I'll give ya an example, when someone here wanted to section off a part of the beach for a nude beach, they let the rest of us know what was going on.

So unless you wanted to live in the grocery store or the park, or some other space that everyone uses, you know, somethin' like that, no there wouldn't be a reason to.

Actually the only reason why it was announced that part of the beach was going to be cordoned off for naked people was so anyone that didn't want to see naked bodies wouldn't go behind the fence to find out what was going on and be surprised.

The only time I say anything about using space, or anyone else has said anything about using space, is when they're inviting the whole island.

There is no queens, kings, Czars, or otherwise, to ask permission from. And anyone that wants to jump up and say 'no you can't do this here' I'll quickly tell you otherwise, and I wont be nice.

It'd also be surprising to find someone living in a space that used to be for everyone. I'm not even saying that's the case. He's probably talking about a private space.

I didn't say anything about permission either. The question was about an announcement. I took that to mean a notice to let people know what's going on. And I said no. I only thought an announcement would be used if it's going to affect the rest of us.

	It wouldn't be if you'd lived here as long as I have. But it doesn't matter where he's living, you can't ask one person to do something that no one else has to do. Period. Regardless of the venue. As long as he isn't parking it in someone's living room without permission, it's none of anyone else's business where he decides to lay his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm only talking about space other people already use. Like the grocery store or the opera house or their living rooms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Their living rooms is one thing, that's private, it's considered their property once they lay claim to it. The Grocery Store, and Opera house... They're big places. If he wants to sleep there, if anyone wants to sleep there, I don't care, do you? As long as he doesn't go shooting at people that are trying to shop, then what's the big deal?

I didn't think a simple "Hi, I'm going to be using this space. Any questions?" would be a big deal.

But if it comes across that way, it might because of where I'm from. Like you said we don't have a King or a Queen here. I didn't either, but there was government where I'm from. I didn't have much when I was a kid. And one day, they decided to expand the roads, right through out park. That was it. No more park for anyone. There are lots of living rooms around here. I can always find another one.

There's only one opera house. I may not like musicals personally, but after all this time Rachel B and the rest put into their shows, why should they have to move if it someone wants to sleep on the stage? That don't seem fair to me.

Still, you can't ask one person to do something that everyone else doesn't have to do. Period.

I know what it's like not to have anything. I didn't even have a park. But I also know what it's like not to be treated the same as everyone else. And that's not going to happen here.

If he is sleeping on the stage it doesn't take too much to ask him nicely to move when they're going to need it. I use the opera house all the time, and I don't ask anybody squat. I don't tell anyone, I just make sure it's not being used at the time.

I agree. Anyone taking space that's already used, for their own private residence, should let the rest of us know. It's only decent.

Then you must know how it feels to have people do ~~shit~~ stuff that affects you and not get any say. It sucks. It's not what I want for people on this island.

Once someone lives there, it becomes their home. Not everyone would be comfortable asking them to leave it, even if it's only for a few hours. And they'd wonder if person living there was going to make changes to the opera house that would affect their shows. An simple net post beforehand where they can work it out, solves all of that.

What I was saying is he shouldn't have to tell the world if he doesn't want to. Regardless of the area. Because no one else goes around saying 'I've taken such and such area for myself'. Regardless of what it is. And believe it or not the Opera House was someone's home at one point. There's plenty of housing that isn't the middle of the stage. That's why it's here. But that's neither here nor there, he's not in the opera house. I was just there.

And as far as I can tell he's not taking anything from anybody.
