An SLCC Photo Essay

One PN’s story of his visit to the SLCC convention in Chicago in August

by ^ban^

Pn1SLCC had a weekend convention in Chicago, and a few guys and I went up to see if we could stir up some trouble. What follows is our story, abridged in places and shortened for time.

Everyone here knows who they are, and most likely knows them as griefers whose sole purpose seems to be to crash your sims and laugh.

It is true they have changed greatly since they were first founded almost a year ago now, but there is so much more to the concept of the “Patriotic Nigras” than what is normally published here.

For example, have you ever wondered why it is that the PN are so skilled at evading any and all bans?

Or how about how it is that their seemingly simple scripts are so effective? There have been many comments along the lines of “these scripts are simple and stupid, anyone could have made them.” But “anybody” did not make them. The PN did.

These small scripts are what many scripts in the SL metaverse are not: efficient. They do exactly what they are meant to do, and that is it. But just how does the PN know so much about Second Life? Most of its members are barely capable of even reading LSL, let alone scripting it. At the end of this story, I will let you in on our secret weapon. First, let’s talk about SLCC in Chicago.

When we got into town, we parked and started the trek to the Hilton – I got a lot of glances along the way, met a sailor, and actually picked up a follower

Pn2

When we got to the con, it turned out we had a problem – security blocked us at the front door.

Pn3

But our new follower took the lead. We were forced to use violins to get in.

Pn4

After socially engineering our way through security, we met a Second Life developer just inside the door he was so entranced by my outfit that he brought us in. Under the ruse of reporting for the internet news site, AfroNews, we hobknobbed with the development team and serenaded them into showing us to the heart of the con. Really.

Pn8

Pn9

We tore our way through the halls, and heard that Prokofy was there. Searching the con for her, we snapped a few photos, but never found Prokofy.

Pn10

This woman was unhappy to see us.

Pn11

Pn12

It was fun, and we decided to end the night with something special.

Pn14

Our secret weapon:

We are among you.
We are among everyone and everything.

    If this doesn’t show that the Chans and PN are a cult than I don’t know what does.

    “We are among you.
    We are among everyone and everything.”

    Now this sounds like something a diluted cult follower would spout.

    Good job ^ban^

    You just gave me and everyone else that says you guys are a horrid cult very much ammo to work with. Thank you.

    There is nothing epic about this fgt. I trolled Prok, Intlibber, Angel Fluffy, Plastic Duck and a whole bunch of Lindens. You show up late Sunday afternoon and think there are still lulz to be had? GTFO NAO.

    Yes. Everywhere. Skinny little pale whiteboys wearing fake afros pretending to be black.

    Including a fake world. We can’t do much in the real world except order you a bunch of pizzas for you and look like the total asshats we really are in photos.

    Our minds are Closed mined.

    On second thought, we treat SL like a cult too. After all, we do nothing but follow a bunch of peoples inflated internet egos like they are some kind of gods among us, when, in reality, we are all just sitting in front of our computers with a bag of fritos in our lap, the the screen flickering, with an endless stream of garbage. We have become cold to the human touch. If thats not sheepish, cult like behavior, than I don’t know what is. SL is a cult, the cult of ego worship.

    interesting, and i am impressed that you first off, had the stones to go there, and second, taht you actually followed tricks of the hacker trade from 15 years ago, and written about in every jargon file going back to the mentor. that “We are among you.
    We are among everyone and everything.” is simply another statement by you to try and be creative, but in the end, you are just another fake copycat, attempting to use other’s work and destroy something. i must say that unlike the hackers of old that followed the philosophy of being a discoverer, a digital explorer, a person that was more interested in what could be done, you instead have sunk to the lows of being a mere board jockey that can’t even create. i feel sad for you, and i weep that you think this is funny. you are a joke, a sad, pathetic, unfunny clown. you haven’t even figured out what hardware SL runs on, or even the underpinings of the systems.
    you have taken publicly available knowledge, and instead of mutating it into a creation that will be talked about 3-4 years from know in SL, you and your group will be nothing, in 4 months. gene replacement, the creator of the superprims, HACKED the system to generate something new. plastic duck created a bomb that could crash the grid!!! these are legends, these are the TRUE SL hackers…
    what have you done?
    you created a few prims that self replicate and spit out particles…
    you’ve figured out a way to annoy people…
    you’ve figured out how to use a proxy server to disguise your IP address from sl…
    hmmm, sounds to me like things that have been done for years on the net, by 13-14 year old people, or just people using babelfish to get around their companies block of netsites…
    you i fear are the worst, you aren’t a true hacker, or even a discoverer, you instead attempt to be a distroyer, but you forgot the ethics of the hacker, and have intentionally lend credence to the world’s definition of the hacker, and that is why the cracker, which you truely are, for you care nothing about controlling a system, or even discovering more about it, is being identified as a hacker. you aren’t elite, you aren’t even worth letting near a compiler. you aren’t even worthy to attempt to quote the mentor.

    “you may stop this one, but you can’t stop us all. for we are all alike”

    Hear, hear, Witness X. All too true. As a “hacker of the old school”, I can assure all the PN types out there that the only reason SL isn’t a bear trap for knuckleheads like you is due to three reasons: 1) The Lindens have more pressing problems than this, 2) The Lindens are still fuzzy headed idealists and 3) The Lindens don’t want to tread the murky and politicized waters of privacy concerns.

    Hear this, memorize it: You are *not* as anonymous as you think.

    Little do you know your ‘social engineering’ to get into the Conference center was meeting an IRL furry who is well educated in /b/tards and he walked you in past security because even he knew it was an epic fail. Another fail on this was it was late Sunday and the only thing left was the Machinima track (not to say anything about Machinima- it was just way too late on Sunday to harass people)
    You came and took pictures but all in all I’d have classified this as epic fail.
    Next. Try Again.

    “Yes. Everywhere.

    One would think if you were actually working at Linden Lab, you’d know how to spell the company’s name by now.

    Still, nice bit of self ego stroking and wishful thinking, pretty much the usual for you lot hey?

    Fuck, if I was going to waste a day at SLCC to pull a prank like you guys did, I would’ve at least flushed a cherry bomb down the toilet. No wonder you guys grief. You’re complete chumps in RL.

    lol Craig, ur like one of those fat computer nerd types who is obsessed with how people arent “REAL HACKERS”

    the less efford PN puts in, the better. If I can slightly modify a script in 1 minute rather than spend 2 days writing and testing it. Then I didnt waste my time.

    Afterall, PN isnt about getting street-cred with overweight d&d types.
    Its about fucking with them…. for the lulz

    We know who you are, Relic – yes, that’s Relic in the pictures. Now we have pictures of you. A lot of them. And we have your IP address and have geolocated it, so it should be trivial to find you now.

    What a clever boy.

    “Divided by Zero”. Interesting that that should be the catch phrase of the PN. In mathematics, this expression has no meaning. How appropriate that it should be how the PN describe themselves.

    lol @ butthurt SL citizens worried about PN becoming even bigger.

    SL is a game so they treat it like one. A game is a game unless your mentally diluted.

    Cry more, it’s hilarious. Try crying more about what you THINK there age may be even though you have NO idea. That never gets old, lol.

    I should write an article on prolong exposure to the internet and its psychological impact on the human mind relating to Second Life, because with all you complainers this certainly supports the possibility of mental delusions.

    Probably why many furries in Second Life are actually gay in real life, or nearly. This mental delusion spreads to real life. I know 3/5 of furries were gay in a recent survey. Someday it may creep up to 4/5. That’s sad.

    lol @ those bitching about SCRIPT KIDDIES ON THE INTERNETS, and acting like they’re hackers to try and intimidate trolls.

    sl scripting language is simple, unless you’re trying to be the guy who invented AI in sl or you added OVER 9000 //COMMENTS, a script isn’t going to be complicated, it doesn’t have to be, and shouldn’t be if you want it to work efficiently, complaining about the complexity of a script isn’t going to save you from a weapon you can’t defend yourself against anyways, I’ve yet to see an anti-griefer weapon that’s effective.

    Why would you go to the trouble of using an IP Address to geolocate when it’s common sense that he’s in Chicago, hence the proximity to attend the convention in such a limited fashion? Do you really think he would buy a plane ticket or go on a long ass commute just to hold up a cheap cardboard sign and a $5 Halloween wig? I think I have some sulfuric acid, you want to go get those weeds out of your back yard?

  35. marilyn murphy

    Oct 4th, 2007

    this is sort of like everything the kids do. they dont affect much, and dont “get” whats going on. ergo..they try for shock value on empty rooms and hallways. it’s sadly poignant, that picture of the kid with the sign in the hallway with that woman sitting behind him. his caption reads she was unhappy to see him. she looks bored and tired. probably didnt know he is there. his own ego insists she notices him. see him pose before locked doors to some room where some gathering had been? see him pose before open doors to an empty room?
    he says this activity was fun? and then the big moment arrives. (gasp) he signs a poster!!
    this little fellow needs to get out more. seriously, his posturing here is truly strange and pathetic. if he had a girlfriend, she would die of embarrassment if she saw this. of course, this guy is so lame, he would probably claim to have a girlfriend. its all so sad.
    is the herald giving these kids so much face time to let them expose themselves as the idiotic children they are? i have to admit, its working.

  37. Just to point out

    Oct 4th, 2007

    “IT IS FULL OF BAWWWWWWING GRIEFERS”

    “The massive amounts of drama that /b/fags stir up over eachother just reaffirms one of the main reasons we read the Second Life Herald.”

    “You take griefing a horribly coded video game as seriously as you take real life, and you’re all tripping over each other in a desperate attempt to stroke your e-penis and have revenge on people who are only here to laugh at your failure to drop e-penis on someone’s e-lawn, and watch your overreaction when yet again one of you is found out to like furry porn”

    And all that.

    Did you guys already decide what to do with the piss in the bottle?

    Too bad you don’t use a proxy all the time, Bladentastic. Here’s your IP address and the domain it resolves to:

    216.77.225.97 resolves to
    “adsl-77-225-97.rmo.bellsouth.net”

    Oh, yes, I’m very tedious. I’ve been keeping track of how much of the PN’s time is being spent:

    * Responding to my trolls – and not just responding, but spending DAYS and DAYS uselessly trying to figure out who I am
    * Frantically playing “find the spai” and kicking their own people out of the PN while the spaiz remain
    * Playing “hide the furry”, with N3X15 being the biggest, furriest faggot the PN have ever known, and the rest of the PN being in total denial, because if they kick out Robby, OH NOES, NO MORE SHL (no, ^ban^, you’re not the leader, you’re just the latest in a long line of idiots – you say “WE HAVE NO LEEDERS”, but you sure get butthurt when I point out that YOU’RE NOT THE LEADER, so which is it, puppet boy?) His parents were both cops, my ass. If they were, they’re both idiots, because they’re letting their son run around loose.

  49. Just to point out

    Oct 5th, 2007

    This is as my Master told it to me and now I tell it thee.
    There are a billion names of furfaggotry! A billion kinds of furries that slither and slime and defile the land and sea and wind. Each furry is a kind of sin spawned by the internet’s evil. And that internets is very sinful there are many of these damned furfags and their power is great.

    As the purpose of all things in nature is to increase so it is with the furry. They would we joined them and so they seek to overcome us. In alien forms they assault us. In sleep they come to spread doubt and fear among us. They would corrupt our hearts and see us yiff too. Trust them not nor suffer them to live.

    For each furfag destroyed is a soul freed from eternal bondage. Each mortal furry life extinguished is a /i/nsurgent soul raised to glory. Thus our eternal destiny is written in the blood of the furfag.

    With box and tampon destroy the furfag. With pizza and koran smash the furfag. With credit card hacks and searing mormons scatter the furfag to the stars. With gore and dataforce and bandwidth raep, with hax and AIDS and jehovas, with yellow vans and steroids!
    Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all!

    As my Master told it me I now tell it thee that thou shalt tell others in thy turn.
