Don’t Call me a Pussy! One Song Attacks WWIIOLers HQ
The Reichstag burns again, as One Song raises The Associates Corp Flag. Just when you think it is going to calm down on the Jessie/Stanford border something flares up — like a building! Incensed that some WWIIOLers called the associates pussies, One Song staged a largely symbolic firebombing attack on their Reichstag-inspired HQ, raising The [...]
Full StoryEditorial: If Lindens won’t help, then Land Owners Unite!
By Prong Thetan It is easy to say that the recent sim demolitions were the land owners fault, but I look at it from a slightly different perspective, because I am a land owner. If Linden Labs provided the necessary tools for land owners to properly secure our land, then I could see some validity [...]
Full StoryGriefer Destroys 6 Private Sims
Centre Ville, Anshe’s market sim, after the terraforming attack (Photo by Planet Mars) As reported in the SL Forums, last night a griefer flew over several private sims and destroyed the ones with open land edit by repeated terraforming.

Full StorySSG Pushes for Uberguild Status
The Sim Shadow Government, which once dominated the Alphaville server and still maintains a stong presence there, continues its expansions into other MMORPGS, with plans to rapidly move into The Matrix Online.

Full StoryOne Song and Tank split, Tank booted from The Associates
Part 1: One Song?s side. Well, no sooner do we post father Callahan?s interview with Tank Levy, than Tank gets booted from The Associates (and because of the interview!). Tank will have to proceed on his own with the big mall development now. I first got the news when One Song summoned me to his [...]
Full StoryFrancis Chung: Hugs and Guns
Kudos to Hamlet Linden over on New World Notes, for his two part story on the legendary SL scripter, Francis Chung, who not only has made the best guns in SL (the Seburo Compact-Exploder) but now has made the best hugging animation too! Erm, as you all know, I?m not down with hugging, but I?ve [...]
Full StoryGavel Falls on Jessie Land Auctions: Land goes for gazzilions!
The auctioning of land confiscated from the permanently banned WWIIOLFalconBK Hanks is complete, and pretty clearly Falcon lost some serious assets. The plots sold in US dollars went for a total of $324 US. The plots sold in Lindens went for a total of L 27,149 ? equivalent to $152 US at current GOM strike [...]
Full StoryFinally, Skewl is Kewl
I took an hour off from war reporting yesterday to drop in on a course being taught by Ancient Earth (AE) member Archaegeo Platini, and while I was AFK and up to my neck in IMs for much of it, I have to say that for the first time ever I had the impression that [...]
Full StoryOne Song?s Worst Nightmare: FMFN Alums Inhabit Mall Wall
There I was, walking along the New Jessie Wall, which separates Jessie from the site of One Song?s future mega-mall, when I ran into ex-TSO uber-scammers and Free Money for Newbie aums, Mimi, Kim, Brad and Mary — now members of ?The Dysfunctional Family? in SL. ?What you guys doing here?? I asked. Turns out [...]
Full StoryWAR!
Tensions on the Jessie/Stanford border exploded into the first battle of what will doubtless be a protracted and technologically advanced virtual war, as mega-mall developer, land baron, and gang leader One Song entered Jessie amid a hailstorm of gunfire and tracking turret fire from the techsols and WWIIOLers. Clearly sporting fancy scripts that rendered him [...]
