Impeach Bush

has anybody noticed that those signs go away when you click on them? If we just click on every one we see, maybe they'll stay gone!

It seems that they reappear after 20 minutes.

P2

Yeah, they only go away for 20 minutes... I have a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!!!


Get camping chairs in adjoining land, place avvies in camping chairs, get auto mouse clicker, have avvie click on a sign (or area where sign is) every 5 minutes or so (... so as not to go AFK), then those pesky signs will not be so annoying and you can get on with your RL - this is the one time I actually advocate camping chairs

(this is for those of you who have adjoining land and alt accounts (or really good friends who will do this for you) and it is a way to increase your dwell too haha)

I just put up an Impeach Land Extortionists sign up on my land next to it.
With my sign there people will know he's overpricing his 64m2 land chunks and to simply ignore them. I've banned this guy from the 64m2 plots I sell and put up one of my ILE signs on them (before you point fingers saying that I'm doing the same thing, my land chunks are fairly priced and affortable for those who live in the sim). If anyone wants one of these feel free to take a look at SLX.

Why should we do that? Its true, George W. Bush needs to be impeached and removed from office.

If he wasn't selling the plots that he puts his signs on at huge markups, I might be sympathetic or even supportive. But what he is doing is despicable. He's putting up huge annoying signs, designed to upset people enough to purchase the land which they sit on. He's profiteering, profiteering in a way that devalues the land around it.

Ban him from your land. It's not about Bush.

Thats a point

Because the guy is a land extortionist and isn't doing this for anything but personal gain? If you don't believe me take a look at that land plot, look at how much it costs, and tell me who's listed as the ower. Him or his Group? I'll give ya a hint: its not his group. And if you don't feel like going to any of those plots just take a look in the land sales listing for plots > 64m2. Look at all the plots labeled Impeach Bush and look at their costs: 3000 - 4000L for 64m2 plots. We want them removed because 1) they're eye sores and 2) his business practices are criminal in nature. Has nothing to do with political views.

I was made aware of this in the previous post above.

I was typing up my post during the time those previous posts were being posted.

Don't get me started on how wrong that really is.... there are so many things that aren't being said in the media that of course people think that, if all they do is read the newspaper or watch TV news. But dont' reply to this, because I don't want to get into it right now. Let's just leave it at, based on what *really* happened with Hussein and the UN, Bush acted in the only way possible for ANY American President. (And don't forget that Clinton did the same thing - 3 times, no less. Yet there was very little public outcry over the way he did things).

But this is really irrelevant: Those signs are ugly, they are all over the grid, and just because this guy has the L$ to make an ass out of himself does not mean that the rest of us think he should have the right to turn Second Life into his own personal political statement..

Well if you all haven't noticed that his signs also stick out of that little itty bitty plot of land that he has them on, so in other words, they aren't confined inside of his own property lines, and if this is the case near some of you that have responded to this thread here, you might be able to do an ingame report on that, and have something done about it, and yes I do have to agree those signs are a big eyesore, but maybe if everyone makes complaints about them on a regular basis, something will get done about it.

I'm not sure how true this is, but I did notice that he did add that invisible script recently to all his signs so they can be turned off, but afte 20 minutes reappear, how likely are those scripts he has in those signs to cause lagg, especially when constantly clicked on to make invisible? I don't know much about scripting or what scripts cause lagg or anything like that, but I would think if you are near one of those signs and you notice an increase in lagg kicking up, it might be from that sign, and you might want to consider checking into it. It might be another way of getting those removed.

Everyone has their right to their own political views, but the last time I checked there wasn't a George W. Bush in the game LOL (and yes I realize this is more a rl thing) so I'm not sure who he's trying to impeach from it LOL

It's my impression that timers, sensor, and listen events cause the most lag.

Listen events are triggered whenever someone chats, so if nobody's talking in range of the script, it doesn't matter.

I'm not sure how resource-intensive sensors are, but they have to be triggered regularly.

Obviously, timer events happen every time the timer fires. This is typically once a second. So the script (or part of it) happens all the time.

SCRIPT SLOWDOWN is NOT LAG. However, a single script with a single timer shouldn't significantly impact the other scripts in a region, anyway. And the reason this owner is complaining of lag is probably just because of 1.7. We're all having a little slowdown since 1.7 was released, but I've noticed something interesting: It seems to me that things generally are faster now than they were when I signed up for a trial account back in September. In fact, I cancelled after an hour because things were so slow.

A lot of the "lag" problems people are experiencing: textures not being loaded right away, areas taking a while to load, were happening because their clients had been upgraded, and the cache needed to be re-filled.

I'm noticing that once an area has been cached, I don't have a lot of problems any more. Things have definitely smoothed out.

But come on: I just can't believe that a single script in a single object is lagging a whole sim.

I don't know jack about scripting or what scripts cause lagg and which don't. I'm just saying that what are the chances of these signs being part of the lagg problems in some areas. They might be and they might not be, I have no clue, but I have noticed that around these signs moving tends to be alittle slower than when not around those, maybe it's just me and maybe it's the signs, I don't really know, but I just questioned the scripts in those signs.

Could you list the locations where these signs appear please?

There's a bunch of them in the northwest corner of Gourdneck.

To your post about Boy George, I disagree. the best thing Bush could had done was give up and admitt that President Al Gore won.

Section B: The Impeach Bush signs are really a tool to get people to pay criminal prices for a small section of land. Get rid of em.

Impeach Bush? Aww that isn't right. Guess he could pull a "Bill" get impeached then refuse to leave office

AL Gore LOL I would of voted for him but I failed to find where he really did invent the internet

Guess he could of been like Ducockus (hehe) and been a in your face bully during a live debate on national tv.

LOL silliness

All politicians are bad, it's just to what extent they are so. Personally, I'm neutral on Bush. I think he does a lot of stupid things, but I also think the world's a little less evil with Hussein out of the picture. Was it right for us to just go in blasting? maybe, maybe not, none of us know the whole story because the 'whole story' is classified.

Also, people who say 'just read a paper or watch the TV news to see how bad bush is' need to realize that the media sources are just as biased as the government is. The news shows DO make things up, and they WILL fudge statistics and facts to get ratings, the same as Bush's administration will. Again, I said I'm not on the side of bush, but I can't stand it when people slam him just because everyone else is. Make up your own mind, do some research of your own, THEN form an opinion.

That said, I think banning Lazarus Divine from as many parcels as possible is probably one of the best routes to go. If we hinder his movement enough, maybe things will slow down. Also, yeah. report the land extortion and get the Linden's off their butts. Either that, or we make embarrasing 'ban Lazarus' signs that follow him around, so we can stick like 200 floating above his shameful head.

Search land sales for "Impeach Bush".

I know there's two visible from the back end of Cessee's What-Nots, and another one out the window of Yadni's Dark Pyramid.

Also be warned that, if you touch them to get rid of them, the script may log your name, key, and location so that the owner can find out who "cares about" them and target them more.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Bush as well. But consider ... He has understood bow Bush & company operate and is now pushing his views in such a way that people will pay him ridiculous amounts of money just to go away. In seeking to tell everyone to get rid of Bush, he has adopted some of the Bush methods. Sets a whole new level of hypocrasy eh?

He has a vertical string of them at the bottom right corner edge of Wilmot, where Wilmot, Hoodoo, and Cleary all intersect.

Thinking about this, it seems very likely that he might want to economise and is therefore trying to find out which of the signs are considered more or less of a pain in the ass so that he can remove the lesser ones.

Thus the "touch invis" script; it can count every time it's touched, and the more it's done, the more he knows that sign needs to stay.

Yes Its true, George W. Bush needs to be impeached. But there is no need for all the signs all over SL. Puting signs all over SL is not going to help get him impeached at all. And as I recall the last President (Clinton) got impeached but he never left office so what good will it do?

Have a good day.
