Comments on: Something Awful Goons Plan SL Infiltration/Invasion http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/10/something_awful.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: BloodRose Valencia http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/10/something_awful.html/comment-page-1#comment-44431 BloodRose Valencia Tue, 26 Jun 2007 04:44:07 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2178#comment-44431 It doesnt take half of a brain to crash the grid. Physics + rezlag = doom. Simple. Dont try to make yourself out to be a genius, its unbecoming. Try to act mature about these posts, please. "starts to masturbate" is hardly relevant to the topic. Personally, I beleive anti-greifing (i.e. taking down greifers forcibly) has become an almost necessary part of our SL lives. And it will continue to be so until Lindens decide that the current abuse report system is inefficient (which it is) and they replace it with something more usable. Tools for anti-greifing are available at almost any weapons store, such as SEC, or AubreTEC. The technology is even available that you can protect your land from greifing in general! (besides the ban tool)Of course these things cost L$, but then again, what doesnt? The ultimate noobs here are the W-hats and other similar greifers, simply because they start it. But what I'm simply suggesting is to well enough equipt yourself so you are capable of ENDING it. I submit to you, that if every (non-greifer) SL avatar was equipt well enough to defend themselves from such things, there wouldnt be a greifer population AT ALL. Or at least a signifigantly reduced number of them. Whats the point in being a greifer if you cant greif? It is unfortunate that we have a certain 'poverty level' population in SL, but honestly, it cannot be helped. So, if your wallet is willing, I suggest you head over to your local AubreTEC or SEC store. Get what you need, and stop whining. If you DONT have the necessary L, there are always freebies. "Lokis non-physical rezzer" is one. It uses some of the more sophisticated non-physical technology of our time. But even better, the SCU System available from SEC comes with a personal non-physical hoverpad. This however is slightly more expensive, because of the systems high quality scripting. If you feel so inclined to learn more about what YOU can do to protect yourself, IM me, BloodRose Valencia, inquiring about this article.

No, of course you didn't. You're the sort of person that would have complained to the wrong department of ANY service you use ... and then bitch when that service is revoked. Don't retaliate against any sort of Griefer aside from sending in the required reports, don't harass the staff in the wrong departments about things they cannot answer or help you with and MAYBE you'll find that this won't happen again. did you ever consider the fact that you attacked a griefer/pervert, something that is also against the terms of service MIGHT just be the reason for getting locked out? did you stop to consider that the Linden you spoke to does not handle account information and that continually asking such questions after being told which department to check with could be considered harassment?

Its not because of w-hats, or sa, or anything other than Lindens inability to make a decent game work. Im sick of: liason lindens abusing admin rights, griefers/liasons that pretend they arent, griefers of course, constant crashing/shitty performance constantly when above 20k players, loss of items I paid for, loss of money when I sold my lindens, and complete loss of ability to even check my account status due to asking questions about my problem..... My son was sexually harrassed and griefed in a PG SANDBOX, when I got on and attacked the person back, hmmmm what do you know a linden showed up and gave a warning LIASON SPIKE LINDEN TO BE EXACT... After getting a warning and discussing the pervert that assaulted my 11 year old son, the point was moot. So then I chime in on, "hey why didnt my money go from my sl account to my bank account when I sold $95 US dollars worth", he tells me to contact billing, I say "ok then why did I only get $2000 for reffering someone instead of the promised $2500? CAN YOU BELIEVE IT HE FREAKING KICKED ME OFF.... SOME HELP THAT WAS, VERY INDICITIVE OF LINDENS IF YOU ASK ME, ASK THE WRONG QUESTION AND YOU GET SHUT OUT. I cant even sell the last of my money! I went to secondloaf.com and it wont even let me into my account which still has lots of money in it! All this for asking a question about my loss of a pretty substantial amount of money. I dont know about you but I will never spend another cent on this shitty half assed game. Sure I loved it a year ago, and I liked it 6 months ago, now its worthless once LESS THAN 1 out of every 100 of the registered people are online!? 2.8 million people registered/25,000 online=shit!? WTF would happen if lets say 50,000 got online, GAME OVER. not to mention all the losses that lindens simply pretend didnt happen, or lets just say they absorbed it. All I need to know is in the first paragraph of the TOS it clearly says that you are paying for fake money when you invest in SL, it also says it reserves the right to take it all without any recourse. So if you think that one day SL wont crash for good you are sadly mistaken and the jerks will make off with your money faster than you can say secondlife sucks my ass. Good luck trying to get it back, it will not happen. I am leaving SL forever. Its not because of w-hats, or sa, or anything other than Lindens inability to make a decent game work.

Of course, if too many people did that, it would probably push SomethingAwful's bandwidth costs up, so don't everybody go and download this file all at once, or anything. I mean, we wouldn't want to push up SA's bandwidth charges, that would be terrible http://videos.somethingawful.com/misc/lowtax-uiuc-speech.wmv Re comment #27, you’ll be wanting to download that file from mirror 2, which is SomethingAwful’s own server.
