That is pretty dumb.

As is the cretin who did it in the first place.

That is pretty sucky.

I’m going to test this.

Hm. No wonder the kids who work at blockbuster couldn’t find a copy of Army of Darkness. Also explains why the Hollywood Video kids are always around the XBOX 360 kiosk, playing madden 2007 with their rental copy and the key to the kiosk, in the store instead of at the registers. At least they pause the game when a customer comes in though… Sometimes.

“Last year or so, Cory Linden said that LL drew *one third* of their staff *from the resident base* and drew *many others* from *the recommendations of that resident base* (so that mean we got the FIC from inworld; then the FIC’s recommendations of their RL FIC friends lol).”

One third plus “many” probably wouldn’t actually even make 50%. So when you said that “They need to refresh their ranks with people OUTSIDE” you already knew that at least 50% of Lindens come from outside the game, and are not recommended by residents?

I apologise, Prokofy: I thought you were just making things up with no knowledge. I didn’t know that you were making things up while knowing that what you were posting was false – i.e. just straight up lying.

“The idea that only long-time loyal fanboyz can understand the product is sure-shit-Sherlock way of making sure nobody else EVER understands it and it never grows beyond its wanky cult-like core.”

Given the figures you’re supplying, no more than 30% are “long-time fanboyz”. Again, you twist facts to suit you want to make, rather than basing your opinions in reality.

“I never said they didn’t appoint from outside their ranks…”

Which is why I said that “If you’re saying that LL ONLY recruits from within the game, you’re simply lying”. I realise that “If… then” is a very difficult concept for you, based as it is in logic and reason rather than screeching and rhetoric, but even I thought you might get it. Alas not.

OK, in response to Prok’s and Coco’s messages, simply because I enjoyed ‘em (as well as the responses)…

Since I myself was recently accused of being FIC (LOL, Linden Lab would bust a gut if they heard that one)… not sure exactly who is FIC and who isn’t. So no insults to anyone. However, Prok isn’t totally delusional on this y’know. Nor should her theory of FIC be all that surprising. I mean, it stands to reason that those with ties inside the “family” are going to be given special privileges. That’s just about how any organization works. We may not like it, but it’s a fact of life. So I don’t think Prok’s FIC concept is so much a theory as a fact of life. She was merely pointing out that learning of this particular Liason’s Linden ties as well as past business operations might have questionable attributes. But again, that’s how life works. If the guy’s a liason and they want a blimp or a vehicle for some purpose… likely it’s gonna be his blimp or vehicle. Virtual nepotism perhaps, but that’s life.

And Coco, for sure I agree with your statement that if we knew all the Linden identities a lot of light would be shined on a lot of forum battles. I myself have often wondered how often (conspiracy theory here) Linden Lab has enlisted trolls to slam opponents to the ground in forum wars. (Or not. LOL. Who can possibly know?). But then LL might not be alone in that? How many people have ever used alts in backing up their own posts? I’m sure a lot more of that goes on than people will admit. (I honestly never have, but hey, one has to wonder).

Anyway, it’s still fun. Personally, I like the way the guy is unafraid to post that he’s upset with the way SL is operating. No LL suckup there. And he earnestly states that he thinks the stuff will eventually be corrected (as opposed to the system degrading and eventually crashing and burning, which of course is another option). But he also says it will take a lot of time because the programmers are swamped (which if I may, if they spent more time FIXING problems rather than creating NEW ones…). But I digress.

Prok’s FIC statement and Coco’s forum conspiracy aren’t all that unimaginable or far-fetched. Personally, I think it’s the FIC that has been conspiring on the forums.

I enjoyed both posts and don’t find them too off-the-wall at all. Adds more flavor to the soup. I dunno as the ex-liason deserves to be dragged over the coals by anyone, but hey, opinions is opinions.
