Jumpman Lane – The “Kang” of Second Life

by Pixeleen Mistral on 29/09/11 at 3:26 am

Last week, well-known virtual world entrepreneur Stroker Serpentine threw in the towel on Second Life after a long running series of feuds with Linden Lab and the notorious Jumpman Lane. Mr. Serpentine announced his departure in a series of tweets that caused alarm among his friends at the news that he was apparently exiting the virtual world suddenly - and permanently.

Stroker Tweets his farewell to Second Life

Monday evening I was able to interview Jumpman Lane and get his perspective on a situation many believe is an extreme case of cyberstalking and online bullying. In the interview, Mr. Lane made a number of extremely troubling statements - continuing his attacks on Stroker Serpentine and claiming Linden Lab staff encouraged his harassment of Serpentine after Serpentine filed a lawsuit against Linden Lab. But is this credible?

Jumpman Lane is well known for pursuing what I can only hope is a very deep level of roleplay in Second Life and taking his game to extremes - and into mainstream Internet media such as Facebook and Twitter. In the online world, where reputation is the only real currency, this cautionary take of what seems to be a smear artist and serial Google bomber with a grudge should give us all pause.

Is this the sort of game you want to play?

Pixeleen Mistral: this is a nice place, how long have you had it?
Jumpman Lane: this is juro kotharis masterpiece lol
Jumpman Lane: the dawson residence
Jumpman Lane: 6 months
Jumpman Lane: lady dawson charges me 100 usd a month lol

Jumpman Lane: i wont cuss none pix i swear

Pixeleen Mistral: so do your best to behave
Jumpman Lane: i hate editing out stuff too
Jumpman Lane:

Pixeleen Mistral: you have had a long running disagreement with Stroker Serpentine
Pixeleen Mistral: but from what I saw on twitter recently you won
Pixeleen Mistral: how did that all play out?
Jumpman Lane: yeah i guess but he's crafty. he'll play up sympathy and come back to a bunch of hugs
Jumpman Lane: i unno

Pixeleen Mistral: I get people asking me what even started the fight
Jumpman Lane: i mean i was yappin with some tards online and saw his suicide note

Pixeleen Mistral: maybe we should start from the beginning
Jumpman Lane: oh thats easy. all his flunky pals used to sic me on theeir enemies
Jumpman Lane: cheergirl sicced me on chelsea

Pixeleen Mistral: chelsea?
Jumpman Lane: alfa winger sicced me on the owner of some dump club called platinum
Jumpman Lane: chelsea malibu

Pixeleen Mistral: and what does alfa winger do?
Jumpman Lane: well cheergirl sicced me on corsi mousehold but corsi well corsi sent me gifts and bought my allegience
Jumpman Lane: crap might have to edit that out lol
Jumpman Lane: alfa owns slcamz

Pixeleen Mistral: so that is an SL porn site?
Jumpman Lane: he had a girlfriend with her hears set on naming a club platinum so he paid me to run the platinum club owners off
Jumpman Lane: he makes a mint doing live cams in sl
Jumpman Lane: its a club
Jumpman Lane: slcamz u interviewed emm years ago lol
Jumpman Lane: they have these ukranina chicks doing live cams out of sl

Pixeleen Mistral: so things started out with you being an enforcer to muscle the competition out?
Jumpman Lane: basically i was a gun for hire at first in this stroker thing but then he pissed me off or something and it just built up lol
Jumpman Lane: yes precicly
Jumpman Lane: really just to smear folks

Pixeleen Mistral: how did stroker piss you off?
Jumpman Lane: i forgot lol it was before he built hump boy lame
Jumpman Lane: something he said somewhere
Jumpman Lane: then he sued linden lab and i had all this crap his buddies had told me so i spilled them

Pixeleen Mistral: so you didn't like it when stroker sued Linden Lab
Jumpman Lane: and after really looking into corsi's story i realized what a phoney stroker was and how easy it would be to attack him

Pixeleen Mistral: that upset a lot of people
Jumpman Lane: coudnt have cared less when they sued Linden Lab
Jumpman Lane: in fact if u dig for it u'll see where i supported him
Jumpman Lane: but like i said i was like a gun for hire

a gun for hire

Pixeleen Mistral: I know - that is what I am trying to understand
Jumpman Lane: then the lindens contacted me
Jumpman Lane: with them it was all hints

Pixeleen Mistral: hints like what
Jumpman Lane: heck they fired im so it dont matter now

Pixeleen Mistral: ?
Jumpman Lane: Blondin was the one who approached me about smearing stroker over the suit
Jumpman Lane: he even lets it slip in one of his office hours

Pixeleen Mistral: ok - and you knew a lot of what was going on because you had been working with Stroker before
Jumpman Lane: noooooo
Jumpman Lane: never met stroker lol im sure we've never had an inworld conversation
Jumpman Lane: i met chelsea malibu first
Jumpman Lane: she told me a bunch of HER secrets to impress me
Jumpman Lane: then i met cheergirl who did the same
Jumpman Lane: then alf then hard rust

Pixeleen Mistral: ok - so you had dirt from chelsea and some others
Jumpman Lane: i know a lot of what they do in sl caws they told and showed me
Jumpman Lane: dirt from chelsea dirt from cheergirl dirt from alfa
Jumpman Lane: no dirt from hard he just follwed me around like a puppy

Pixeleen Mistral: LOL
Jumpman Lane: and dirt from a few lindens
Jumpman Lane: things to find out things to mention

Pixeleen Mistral: and the idea was to make Stroker look bad?
Jumpman Lane: that was their idea but i told them the truth is even better because he made himself look bad
Jumpman Lane: take his stance on ip rights

Pixeleen Mistral: ok
Jumpman Lane: he hates copybot but everybody he hangs withnis wearing stolen skins lmao
Jumpman Lane: its the biggest joke
Jumpman Lane: why is cheergirl using ripper viewers lmao
Jumpman Lane: u figure it out

Jumpman Lane: WHERE is cheergirl allen even lol
Jumpman Lane: god i got more info than i can write lol
Jumpman Lane: i just wait for the right moment
Jumpman Lane: they just told me things
Jumpman Lane: to impress me i guess

Jumpman Lane: i write stories in my magazine when it suits me
Jumpman Lane: i reveal it to get back at my enemies
Jumpman Lane: consider this and this is accordin to that eros bunch
Jumpman Lane: 1. i wrecked chelsea malibu's deal wiht the real life jenna jameson club jenna and buried mountainmeister llc
Jumpman Lane: 2. wrecked vegas so stroker couldnt sell it like amsterdamn
Jumpman Lane: 3. cawsed him to have to settle eros vs linden research for a promise and n moies and ll's lawyers bills
Jumpman Lane: 4.stroker is suicidal, quit sl, called me the kang lol musta hurt some
Jumpman Lane: and thats what THEY say so i reckon im effective

Jumpsman: "we have attacked our enemies by every means in any venue"

Pixeleen Mistral: so this has been going on for a long time - like the Stroker vs. LL lawsuit is old news
Jumpman Lane: old news to some lmao

Pixeleen Mistral: well - to you and me - but my readers don't know all the backstory
Jumpman Lane: technically u could say im a catspaw in the briggi vs. stroker war because ive defitly joined their cause so even longer

Pixeleen Mistral: but this has been more than some stories in your magazine
Jumpman Lane: hell though in not supposed to sat so im even seting the record straight on some class of 2003 drama that happened long before any of us ever heard of second life
Jumpman Lane: oh this is lush the new edtrix of my magazine

Jumpman Lane: well it was removed for being an age play item
Jumpman Lane: can always say hey he's a pedo
Jumpman Lane: then he goes on taboo and they make him look like a perv
Jumpman Lane: try explaining all that away to some prosecutor never seen second life
Jumpman Lane: to them he's a sex offender and stroker knows it

Pixeleen Mistral: you have also been quite active in the comments on some web sites

Jumpman: "The thing with Stroker is, he chose to put his rl identity out there, expose his children and whatnot"

Pixeleen Mistral: so what is next?

Jumpman Lane: it ain t over
Jumpman Lane: cheergirl has to be attended to

Jumpman Lane: and theres some class of 2003 saps im gonna bury for lady

Pixeleen Mistral: but isn't Stroker a special case? everyone knows his RL identity
Jumpman Lane: crap for somebody else
Jumpman Lane: then im gonna make me an army of noobs and take over all of second life

Pixeleen Mistral: these others are not known, are they?
Jumpman Lane: naw theres a few enemies my pals have that are as old and famous as stroker
Jumpman Lane: sure we promoted slut mag off his troubles and we're gonna promote pisxel x out of his and others people troubles

Pixeleen Mistral: and even if you don't know their real life names you can still go after their facebook and twitter
Jumpman Lane: pixel x magazine lol we changed the name like yall did
Jumpman Lane: i dont care about their real lives lol
Jumpman Lane: take the olbies like stroker they all disclose who they are anyways
Jumpman Lane: i never attacked stroker rl
Jumpman Lane: he just slipped up rl

Pixeleen Mistral: what do you think Stroker will do next?
Jumpman Lane: he let those taboo producers set him side by side with the biggest wierdos in the world
Jumpman Lane: do some time
Lusciouslumpchunks McMillan: The thing with Stroker is, he chose to put his rl identity out there, expose his children and whatnot
Jumpman Lane: i think he'll lurk back into second life
Jumpman Lane: try to case me up as a cyber stalker
Jumpman Lane: then im marching to the fbi
Lusciouslumpchunks McMillan: i doubt hed leave premanently
Jumpman Lane: exactlyt lush

Pixeleen Mistral: so you think you have evidence that the FBI will accept?
Jumpman Lane: we take that little surrender thing i quit im gona kill myself as looking for pity and virtual hugs
Jumpman Lane: i know the ins and out of the federal legal system
Jumpman Lane: belive it or not ive had a fine education hehehe
Jumpman Lane: federal prosecutors win 90% of their cases
Jumpman Lane: he'd take some kind ogf plea
Jumpman Lane: he's got enough to be charged
Jumpman Lane: and they dont need proof
Jumpman Lane: not beyond a resonable doubt just grand jury evidence for a sealed indictment
Jumpman Lane: or unsealed
Jumpman Lane: then he'd plead to some lesser pedo charge
Jumpman Lane: no more stroker
Jumpman Lane: if i were him i'd stop messing with me all together. quit sl so i can move on down our list of enemies

Pixeleen Mistral: the pedo thing is a very serious charge to make
Jumpman Lane: watch taboo its creepy
Jumpman Lane: in a way i do worry about his daughter
Jumpman Lane: i mean i dont cyber with my close friends in sl
Jumpman Lane: never with lush here for example
Jumpman Lane: i could t with people i refered to as family

Pixeleen Mistral: shouldn't the police have acted on that Taboo show already?
Jumpman Lane: and i cyber all the time
Jumpman Lane: how u know they didnt lmao
Jumpman Lane:
Jumpman Lane: how do you know they arent
Lusciouslumpchunks McMillan: :þ~~~~
Lusciouslumpchunks McMillan: ew, Jump :þ~~~~

Pixeleen Mistral: well - I don't know actually
Jumpman Lane: something sure spooked the man
Lusciouslumpchunks McMillan: be like banging my brother
Jumpman Lane: i know tight
Jumpman Lane: right

Pixeleen Mistral: how can anyone know?
Jumpman Lane: u cant until they unseal the indictment
Jumpman Lane: they do that usually after the plea
Jumpman Lane: the guilty plea

Jumpman: "facebook sucks i just mostly link spam facebook"

Pixeleen Mistral: I remember when you were fighting with Stroker before you said some things about his wife being on crack or something - that seemed to really set Stroker off
Jumpman Lane: put it to ya like this the world will known if his surrender is fake
Jumpman Lane: yeah
Jumpman Lane: they let slip she was in recovery or someth

Pixeleen Mistral: really?
Jumpman Lane: yup stroker said something along those lines in a forum
Jumpman Lane: and recently i called his son gay on twitter lol
Jumpman Lane: well it aint disclosure o nothing i dont think his son is gay
Jumpman Lane: and he disclosed the biut about his wife when he sent me a notecard demanding i retract the statments

Pixeleen Mistral: so it seems like part of how this works is you point out things like this about Stroker and his family and use twitter and facebook
Jumpman Lane: well u told me i couldnt cuss
Jumpman Lane: naw not facebook so muck

Pixeleen Mistral: mostly twitter?
Jumpman Lane: facebook sucks i just mostly link spam facebook lol
Jumpman Lane: well mostly slut magazine hehehe well pixel x magazine but twitter is fun
Jumpman Lane: see i learnt their limits when i tried to get some fake accounts they made of me there
Jumpman Lane: so i know how far to go in twitter

Pixeleen Mistral: it took you a long time to break Stroker though - like years
Jumpman Lane: same in sl i befriended lindens
Jumpman Lane: they let me know the boundaries
Jumpman Lane: vs. eros those boundaries widened a bit lol
Jumpman Lane: naw just since eros vs. linden research
Jumpman Lane: aint been that long lol

Pixeleen Mistral: so after the Eros lawsuit LL gave you more room to maneuver?
Jumpman Lane: hehehehehe plenty more room
Jumpman Lane: take the posts i did in the forums

Pixeleen Mistral: so what is next for you
Jumpman Lane: sl forums
Jumpman Lane: i used to get a three day suspension for calling some one a sap lol

Pixeleen Mistral: and now?
Jumpman Lane: now id get suspended for calling some one a sap too lol
Jumpman Lane: but then
Jumpman Lane: then he had their hands tied
Jumpman Lane: they couldnt discipline him or thyd seem vindictive
Jumpman Lane: they couldnt discipline me caws it wouldnt be fair

Pixeleen Mistral: so you could say pretty much anything
Jumpman Lane: so they called it all a personal dispute and all bets were off
Jumpman Lane: could and did
Jumpman Lane: he could make hump boy i could make effigies and we could defame each other
Jumpman Lane: i got a lil note
Jumpman Lane: play times over jumpy lol
Jumpman Lane: but in all fairness he got a pass too
Jumpman Lane: but he made himself look bad
Jumpman Lane: and the redgrave skin thing didnt help
