I think instead of "group militia" you should call them simply "a group of underage fucktards"

Alts are free. Why doesn't your friend create an alt for a while until the idiots give up and move on? Inconvenience on your friend's part? Sure. But it's probably the most effective thing to do.

Just recently. If you try to sign up an alt, it seems normal until you get to a message that it will cost you $9.99 for each addtional Basic account. I believe they mentioned this at the SLCC.

I just made an alt account last weekend and it does prompt you to pay but underneath is a button that says skip this step. I have an anti-greifer mafia that i use alts to do things with.

Really, I didn't see that? Kinda makes it all pointless, then.

I just made a new account thismorning and it was totally free...
The secret is the Skip this Step button next to it.

I guess I stopped at the $9.99 charge, I wanted to see for myself if this was true.

Can't they tell you already have an account through your computer hash or whatever they are "using" already? Is this being used at all?

Anyway, back on topic, I don't think it's fair for anyone to be driven into an alt to get away from griefers, this isn't an acceptable resolution. But, then again, as LL told us, they aren't the "police".

She's on her own, I guess.

You can't get a computer hash on a website registration form, so they certainly can't at that stage anyways. They could conceivably check when the new account logs in, but they do not appear to do so.

Yeah, that's what I meant. All they use is cookies when you are on the site and those are supposedly cleared when you log off, anyway.

Beside the point. Being in a damage-enabled space does not give you license to be an asshole.

No more than not having push disabled on a parcel means that you've consented to people pushing you whenever they feel like it.

P.S. I'm sure I remember your name from somewhere.

Wooo LL learned the art of scamming. If your aware enough to use a new email.. etc.. and start an alt it's free if you use your pay account they nab ya for 9.95... now we know why scammers aren't dealth with they were looking for their own way to do it!

Griefers Attack Emmilia constantly too
08-23-2006 14:37
Its very sad but a nice lady who gives out free stuff and a place to live to new people gets attacked constantly by griefers she has benned due to their childish gun weapon usage behavior.

They are told when entering her large property no weapons allowed yet they open up and start shooing and caging and throwing bombs on the property almost every day.

It seems like a group of teenagers sneaking into the adult grid who have gained up on her
because she banned a few for not following the non weapon usage rule.

They gained up on her and contantly come every day or so and send in friends or alts to cage anyone walking around the Emmila sim.

After they are banned they go to adjoining properties not owned by this lady and throw cages and bombs into the property.

All she is a nice lady who helps mentor and help newbies yet she is targeted by griefers after they are banned.


My point is I feel that once someone is banned and they go to an adjoining property and start shooting/caging/bombing into the property they just were banned from then maybe there is a restriction that can be added that any bullets or objects owned by the banned griefer can also not be allowed in the property they were banned from.


Not only are they banned but so is any object they may try to throw or shoot into that property. That would make it much easier for her and others who are having problems with stalking banned griefers.



Just a thought

Yea LL's registration system is built on fantasy trust.. i say fantasy trust cuz its fake trust. They HOPE your going to tell the truth when you register. Correct Email address + Correct Age + Correct about this being your first account. It's retarded IMO...
