Comments on: New LL Orientation Islands’ Bait and Switch http://alphavilleherald.com/2007/02/new_ll_orientat.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Zetaphor Tengu http://alphavilleherald.com/2007/02/new_ll_orientat.html/comment-page-1#comment-36399 Zetaphor Tengu Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:12:56 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=1480#comment-36399 Bah to the new Orientation Island, I say we keep the one with the big signs, with the green hand below bearing a notecard. That way more people will be discouraged to sign up, and it may slow down the newb masses. And the ones that do get through, then we can filter them out ourselves. I would not want a trained newb coming into SL, as now he knows how to use his inventory, and can start shooting guns and dropping penises even faster! I often say that someone needs to hack the SL signup page, make it reroute to the There signup.

I get a message saying that this is the first time I've bought land and that the parcel I'm buying isn't a First Land Parcel. It's funny. I've bought and sold a lot of land over the last two years, including my original First Land. Why the software tells me now that I'm eligible for First Land after the program has been discontinued is a mystery to me. The First Land issue still pops up when I buy land.

Apparently "playing politics" is the only reason anyone ever gets sacked from LL. It's Philip's only rule - don't play politics. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is PHILIP'S politics. Therefore, you can play no politics but Philip's! I'm sure people play politics all the time at LL. What the rule means, then, is don't play politics in a way that Philip catches you doing it. Now that creates some REALLY devious politics for you! Well, what do I know. I don't work there. That's just what it seems like to me from what I've read. That, and the fact that I have never encountered any group of people anywhere which doesn't play politics. As for the behind-the-times notecards, running around updating all one's notecards is definitely not a task I enjoy. I doubt any Lindens enjoy it either. And since Linden employees are never told what to do, and always choose what they would like to do, I think it's probably pretty easy for these things to slip through the cracks. I have to force myself to do them, but then - I do have a boss to answer to (me). You'll notice that the various written things from LL are always way behind the times. coco Haha that kills me.
