“the Lindens don’t feel like writing up all the griefing that goes on….”

I would like to see once in my lifetime a company operating manual which says that.

“prolly because they don’t do squat about it”

LL doesn’t get money from that, on the contrary. Some griefers buy pricey griefing gadgets. I have never heard that LL is worried about giving guns to minors Where are the hypocritical Christian-nut rope players when we need them?

About the Birthday Party SIMs:

The themes were regressive. During the last year the flood of Europeans started and I couldn’t find any reference to the new European themed SIMs. Or to Brazil.

The flag waving over SLH model made by a young gentleman touted “Almost Infinite Corruption”. I’m confused. Does he mean that SLH is actually making money?

If you want to see how an anniversary can be managed .. go look at the Gay Pride 2007 events .. spread over several sims to balance the load… admittedly it is laggy (lot of textures present I assume) but none the less pretty good.

gay Pride is on all this week .. Perhaps the Herald could put an article covering it?

i heard that the legendary griefer dick burns showed up and spammed ol phil linden with some kind of cool new crashing spam that keeps on generating until you’ve logged in 50 times. if this is true it would explain why he vanished and why he couldn’t get back on…regardless of what computer he used. it would also be a significant development in the history of PN, seeing as the general populace saw the irony in his dilemma and responded with glee.

One might conclude that the residents of SL enjoyed seeing the griefers crash the Lindens little party seeing as they were “staring through the glass” watching the elitist lindens teleport whomever they wished. popular opinion could swing in PN’s favor if PN just knew how to spin it as such… the robin hood’s of SL.

Coincidental…there’s alot more griefing attacks than just 1 or 2 a day….but as they do with actuall griefers like those that hit Furnation all weekend, the Lindens don’t feel like writing up all the griefing that goes on….prolly because they don’t do squat about it.

I would have enjoyed trying and failing to attend, but the Lindens have somehow deactivated/deleted my account for mysterious reasons. Happy birthday!

About the technology.

Popular live concerts have used replicated (look-a-like) avatars in multiple SIMs controlled by external software.

About the discipline. The individual output of Lindens seems to be good, but they are so disorganized that the company falls down to mediocracy . The recruitment policy of Linden Lab has emphasized social conformance on-line. It might mean that instead of committing to quality they are committed to social tricks and ignoring certain flaws in their operations.

And yes, they are unable/unwilling to learn/handle some things. Maybe the boss is mentally incapable to handle them and requires the flaw to be cloned in the employees too.

Well, I’ve heard of worse birthday parties for a four year old – when nobody came. Luckily, LL has no such fears. They could use pet bots as guests.

“And that’s where it all falls down of course. SL is the Linden’s playground. They KNOW it really doesn’t matter, so they feel free to do whatever they please, whenever they please.”

Most interesting, Inigo.

You know, practically any one of us could stage a birthday celebration for SL that WOULD work – and easily enough.

It would involve several sims, with a Linden or possibly two on each, and any number of places elsewhere where the event can be viewed (or at least heard – or if not that, at least read) by everybody else.

Because this is no longer an anomaly; this is how it goes just about every time, as opposed to the old radio days, when at least you could read what was going on.

Philip needs to decide he loves SL more than he loves his Tao of Linden.

PN has a home base in Woodbury University and yet the lindens know this. They just dont care
