Comments on: Plastic Duck Returns To Second Life!!! http://alphavilleherald.com/2011/02/plastic-duck-returns-to-second-life.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Gwyneth Llewelyn http://alphavilleherald.com/2011/02/plastic-duck-returns-to-second-life.html/comment-page-1#comment-79187 Gwyneth Llewelyn Wed, 20 Jun 2012 00:42:45 +0000 http://alphavilleherald.com/?p=5186#comment-79187 Aw, this was written a year ago... I missed all the fun and excitement! Was there a "Welcome Back Plastic Duck!" party? I missed that as well! More seriously, I just met Plastic Duck once or twice on some sandboxes, and I have this rather strange idea that the first time I didn't really know who he was — and perhaps because of that, I was very positively impressed with the things he was experimenting with and the way he talked — a mix of excitement but also of a certain detached calm — which fascinated me. I have always loved geeks who know what they're doing and who have crazy amounts of creativity up their sleeves :) A bit later than that I <em>was</em> told who Plastic Duck was — by then already a mythical character of SL's history. Wow! I had met a celebrity! I keep stumbling upon celebrities but only know about their celeb status much later haha... I can imagine that some people might have very strong feelings against Plastic Duck — it's impossible to please everybody. But by reading the above interview, it crossed my mind that Plastic is quite right. It's the way LL "forced" people to live surrounded by neighbours on the mainland, without clear rules, without a way to select your neighbours, that caused all that drama long ago. If they had given up the Mainland years ago this would never have happened: residents would simple have gravitated towards a community they were more aligned with. So, mmh, there is some food for thought there. Plastic Duck always gave me food for thought, and it's great to know that he still does! :-) Aw, this was written a year ago… I missed all the fun and excitement!

Angel Fluffy left SL three years ago and you're STILL butthurt about that one, huh? Tell me - are the Russians injecting poison gas into your furniture when you leave the house too? You must be losing sleep over that one. @the fake General Drama – sounds like your logic train left the station a loooong time ago.

I mean, exactly. How does it work? I think we all want to know. Is there some special thing you can do to make the Lindens not go through their database and look things up to verify an abuse report? You make it sound like it’s a machine and not people." Quite frankly, that's how it works sometimes. Depending on the gravity of the AR and how legit it sounds, the Labbies have been prone to summary bannings. (>_<) Take... Well... ME~~ For example. (^_^) I faced a ban for "Sexual Ageplay" while I was in a PG sim, participating in a PG event, in a PG dressed adult shaped avatar. I fought the heck out of it, requesting a description of my dress, behaviour, environment, conversation, or overall appearance that could have been interpreted as "Sexual Ageplay". (=_=) Considering they couldn't produce an answer which supported their actions...

I remember this Plastic Duck guy, He used to play awful sounds and grief neighbors on all 4 sides of him, One of the neighbors tried to go higher, so he just went higher too, I remember Allen Parks, he started with some kind of free store then started making fireworks. When I left , sl was still full of griefers! I also knew he was a lot of different people as he kept getting banned on account after account. Soon all the griefing stopped, I guess thats when he got smart. I was in sl back in 2003-2005 , I closed that account ages ago.

My guess is that Plastic found a good way to maximize land usage in his opensim and the Lindens let him back in to test it out in SL.
