Well it’s obvious that this article was done in fun but just on one serious note about the sex ball…i think that their are some height requirements in toss so sex between tinys furrys would be a little questionable. We don’t want them to procreate anyway lol.

Did any of you who are apparently upset or think this is bad journalism take the time to realise that this is parody and farce? Jeeze people, you look like a bunch of PhD candidates who traded their sense of humor for their degrees.

LOL, great article.

Thought I’d ad a bit of “tinies” history. Quite some time ago, a small piece of land was donated to Elf Clan. Where was that land? None other than the very center of Jessee. (For newbies.. that’s one of the most well knonw “battle sims” on the grid. Enter at your own risk type stuff.)

Only problem was, the land was only 256m. What could we possibly do with that? The land was so TINY.

Ah… the solution. The wonders of that land was that although it was so small… it was situated right in the heart of Jessee… and on a cliffside that overlooked everything. Major strategic advantage. If one was small enough…

Thus was born the RABID ELVES, fanged, viscious pandas, bunny rabits, raccoons, skunks, bats, puppies, kittens and fox cubs… all trained in the art of WATERMELON LAUNCHERS! A small, low-prim fortress was built on the cliff and we spent happy times lobbing watermelons as far as they would lob, at no target in particular. Fortunately for Jessee… we were busy with other Elven matters and didn’t do so often. But when we were there no one messed with Rabid Elves. At least, no self-respecting warrior did. After all, what could he brag about later? That he offed a bunny wabbit? (BTW, if you’re a tiny with a watermelon launcher, be sure to sit before firing. The recoil is murder).

Rabid Elves no longer exists, but while it did… it was glorious.

I am upset not by the fact that Roma was sacked by tinies, but because /I/ was the leader of the tiny ring which invaded the sim, not Teddy. They were wearing MY stuff, forchrissake. I’m the one with the brushy helmet; that means I’m in charge. I demand the article be corrected. Immediately.

Tedwood, how *dare* you impute that technopagan island overlords are somehow more evil than tinies! I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you! I should sue. It would be worth it to put a few of those little tiny pathological liars on the stand. You don’t think a jury would see right through their beady little lying eyes?

Tinies…

Who buys those tiny sex balls? Maybe they are voyeurs who hide behind hedges hoping to catch a couple of tinies in the act. They’ll wait a long, long time. All this pondering on whether we have sex is bordering on perversion. What are you, critterphiles? Inadequate research! We are clones of course.

You *will* be assimilated.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Well all this has just gone to prove what loathsome creatures journalists are, willing to spread their own petty minded and frankly insecure biased opinions to anyone who will have the misfortune to read them. I find the very essence of SL is that people can be what they want as long as it is legal. I have many friends who are unable to do in RL what they can in SL, be that dance, or even go “outside”. It is surely no worse being a tiny furry creature in SL than, say, a vampire, demon or “overlord” of your own fantasy land is it Urizenus? As for the mentioning of two bona fide business folk in SL, I am astounded that you can be quite so flippant about potentially damaging businesses which have taken hundreds of hours to set up. If tiny furs were a religious group or race, this sort of treatment would, justifiably, not be tolerated.

lies! I heard that Roma burned for days and that the tinies raped and pillaged and played their tiny fiddles while it burned. Shame on the tiny apologists!

As a tiny that knows many other fellow tinies I have this to say…

MOST have nothing to do with sex! I’m completely non-sexual as a Tiny. And frankly I haven’t met any tiny that is [and told me about it]. So if any one here looses their ‘women’ to a Tiny…. that’s pretty sad.

And as far as Tiny’s having an advantage with their size, we only have the advantage as much as the shortest AV. Sure, the AnimationOverrides squish the Av into a ball… but that doesn’t matter much as far as space goes. The AV still reacts to the ‘SL environment’ just like every other. That means… the tiny… is all illusion.

So very lame.

As owner of the ROMA sim I would like to reiterate Angelia Rees’ comments above. I am not a tiny furry myself, but all are welcome in ROMA as long as they follow the guidelines set down for everyone.

There was no ‘sacking’.

To my knowledge a few of our non-tiny citizens donned some tiny avatars a few weeks back so they could adjust some armor. They ended up having a good time launching themselves from the ROMA catapults into the harbor.

So normally non-tiny players putting on tiny avatars and playing with the ROMA catapults = a comment on tiny culture??? This is poor reporting to say the least, baseless slander of Tedwood at its worst.

Since 90% of SL reporting is based on heresay and agenda pushing anyway, i’m not surprised that our sim has finally found its way onto a hack’s screen.
