Francis Chung: Hugs and Guns
Kudos to Hamlet Linden over on New World Notes, for his two part story on the legendary SL scripter, Francis Chung, who not only has made the best guns in SL (the Seburo Compact-Exploder) but now has made the best hugging animation too! Erm, as you all know, I?m not down with hugging, but I?ve [...]
Full StoryGavel Falls on Jessie Land Auctions: Land goes for gazzilions!
The auctioning of land confiscated from the permanently banned WWIIOLFalconBK Hanks is complete, and pretty clearly Falcon lost some serious assets.

Full StoryFinally, Skewl is Kewl
I took an hour off from war reporting yesterday to drop in on a course being taught by Ancient Earth (AE) member Archaegeo Platini, and while I was AFK and up to my neck in IMs for much of it, I have to say that for the first time ever I had the impression that [...]
Full StoryOne Song?s Worst Nightmare: FMFN Alums Inhabit Mall Wall
There I was, walking along the New Jessie Wall, which separates Jessie from the site of One Song?s future mega-mall, when I ran into ex-TSO uber-scammers and Free Money for Newbie aums, Mimi, Kim, Brad and Mary — now members of ?The Dysfunctional Family? in SL. ?What you guys doing here?? I asked. Turns out [...]
Full StoryWAR!
Tensions on the Jessie/Stanford border exploded into the first battle of what will doubtless be a protracted and technologically advanced virtual war, as mega-mall developer, land baron, and gang leader One Song entered Jessie amid a hailstorm of gunfire and tracking turret fire from the techsols and WWIIOLers. Clearly sporting fancy scripts that rendered him [...]
Full StoryRuby Wilde vs. Land Baron One Song
Life on the Jessie/Stanford Border gets curiouser and curiouser. As reported earlier, One Song and The Associates have bought up most of the sim of Stanford, but remaining small patches were still owned by me and Ruby Wilde. I traded the Associates for another piece of land, but negotiations with Ruby broke down in a [...]
Full StorySkirmishes Break Out on Jessie/Stanford Border
The tensions along the Jessie/Stanford Border boiled over last night and Jeff Linden was called in to mediate a charge by James Few that One Song had hit him with a spamming script that followed him back into his home territory. Following is an edited transcript of key elements of the exchange. As noted earlier, [...]
Full StoryTensions rise on the Jessie/Stanford border.
One Song and Tank Levy of the Associates recently purchased nearly the entire sim of Stanford, putting them in a direct path between the teleport hub and the most popular location on Second Life, Club Elite. It also puts them smack on the border of Jessie. No one knows for sure what kind of project [...]
Full StoryWWIIOLFalconBK Hanks banned!
Seems like just the other day that we reported on the dispute between Pancake Stryker and WWIIOLFalconBK Hanks. Falcon owned huge regions of Jessie, and was a major player in that sim, but his account was terminated a couple days ago. We are looking to interview Falcon and get clear on the details of this [...]
Full StoryInterview: Cory Linden on IP issues in Second Life
Our legal editor Candace (a.k.a. Kale, a.k.a. Arboriasha Westerburg) has been exercised for some time about potential intellectual property entanglements arising in Second Life. Isn?t there an issue about downloading those Penthouse centerfolds as artwork for your club? And what about that music you?re pumping in? And given that your club is a revenue generator, [...]
