It's a game people, can you remember that? It's also a game which people fly and create objects out of thin air..

People act as though this is real life..

I remember my very first night I played this game, I was going all over the sim meeting new people, I was completely unaware of the dislike/fued/resentment that was going on because of the WW2 Online people who were playing. I remember going up to group of people to say hello and got bumped kicked and ejected into the air for no reason at all..

When I asked one of you why you were doing this to me, I was told because you people don't like the WW2r's


Stop being such elitists and hypocrites....

Maybe I missed a post here (deleted?) but I assume you're talking about the the bush "turtle on a post" thing that was errected right next to the giant "support president bush" thing? I thought it was freakin' hilarious. If you're going to put up political statements in SL then you should be prepared to hear from people with a dissenting view. That's called free speech. It's not reason for crying about it on the message boards. If you don't want things like that to happen, don't erect giant pro-bush propoganda posters.

Um was i crying about it ??? um NO some idiot was not me. Im not pethetic enough to cry over something thats in a computer game.


Basicly alot of you need to grow up and learn that this isnt real life...get over it.

In response to Chip Midnight, -

"If you don't want things like that to happen, don't erect giant pro-bush propoganda posters."

[sarcasm on]Now, that's an unbiased statement! [/sarcasm off]


No, I don't have a problem with the anti Bush poster.. He put it up on his property and that was his right..

What I think people have a problem with is that he lives far,far away from where he posted it, and obviously was desperate to provoke a response from people..

I don't belong to a political group like Suede Feaver does.. I believe he is one of the Leftists,Liberals etc.. and there are many diverse political opinions among the WW2r's and we argue among ourselves with much regularity. The point is we all live there, none of us fly miles to your groups property just to post political posters to provoke a response..
(Maybe we should start doing this when we get bored from now on..)

I don't think this is a case of political backlash, I think this is a case of someone going out and looking for a fight and then getting it..

There is another post on this elsewhere, this one was started seperately. My former Supply Tent was located right near where all this is happening. Its been interesting to watch. Suede put up one block then it was covered so then there were more, then they were covered and now they are bigger. No one has to my knowledge ever covered items along the wall since Ive had a shop there. But someone posts another view and its covered and now he's being attacked. Seems sad that we all can't respect that we're not always going to agree. Because you don't agree doesnt mean he's not intitled to his opinions. One side is posted and in the spirit of equal time the other side has a right to be there. Trying to squash someone that you disagree with solves nothing. Lets not forget America (and SL by the way) is about freedom.

This issue was already brought up with the Lindens, and it was agreed that we all wanted all the stuff taken down off that wall..

The issue was that it was our home and others were coming from miles away to pick a petty fight with us..

If you disagree with something fine, why go out of your way to go to someone elses area and deface it...And yes our stuff was vandalized...

If you believe in the wacko left wing and wish to show your support of it, go post your stuff around your lands...

Bacause I can tell you where this is going, we are going to start coming to your lands and putting up stuff to offend you..Now is that what this game is about?...

So fine, post all the leftist crap you want, but don't complain when I start putting Hell's Angels double lightning bolts up next to your damn house...

I guess this is the game you people want to play..We had agreed with the lindens to remove the posters if you people who didn't live anywhere near there would stop coming and posting on/near our land...

What the hell, I get off on this crap..

youre not so smart as you think. never "assume". i own no other land so that is my home. as far as the group i got an invite and accepted. i never met them /yet/ and have no agenda other than to voice an alternate point of view than the one that has dominated the wall. the impression when you go unchalleged is that all of sl feels like that and being based in sf i seriously doubt that is true. but see most people wont lift flyers inworld because they want to play and not be harassed in return, its not worth it to them. but you guys dont bug me. attack me against the rules and expect to be reported. sorry kids those are the rules.

Just A Game?
05-24-2003 11:54
I want to address the issue with both parties, and that is ,"It's just a Computer Game, get over it".

While you are correct in saying this is a Computer Game, you are also overlooking the fact that this game is also a community of people. People who are real, who have real feelings, who have real emotions. Just because I sit and type into a keyboard doesn't mean that I can't hurt someone with my words or actions. One thing that many in MMORPG's have thought was that because it was a computer game, then they were excused from acting with decency and treating others with dignity. This type of thinking needs to stop now. Just because we are all on computers to interact with one another, doesn't give any of us the right to stop treating people with decency and dignity. Remember, your rights END where another person's rights BEGIN.

If you believe the arguement that "it's just a game", then you wouldn't have responded in these forums. It is more then a game, it is a place where people interact and build friendships and even relationships. That means you should act just like you would if you were face to face with someone when you are in the game. Failure to do so shows your immaturity, and quite frankly, should be reasons enough for a Liason to remove you from the community.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in this arguement and saying you are right and you are wrong. I am saying that both sides most likely have valid points, but they can only see their side, and that is the cause of friction. From now on, why not just ignore one another instead of trying to antagonize one another? It would be better for both sides, and certainly better for the community as a whole.

But make no mistake, while we use the computer to communicate with one another, it's more then a game, it's a place where many come to meet up with friends, and many more come to meet new friends.

yah know..like many others b4 me...its just a game. If someone wants to make a political statement let them..freedom of speech. and if someone wants to disagree and argue let them. but you dont have to participate in the arguement.

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice.

and you dont have to go into a full out feud and whine like this entire thread does. if they want to get into a fight let them, you bought the land, u erected the poster, they cant do anything about it. and if people come from miles away to complain about it, thats their problem cause they wasted their time. I for one do not like bush, if i want to erect a poster i will. regardless of what someone does. cause i really dont care what they think of me.

Take every mans censure, but reserve thy Judgement

In these few precepts, in thou memory, see they character. Give thy thought no tounge.. nor any unporportioned thought, its act.


Why cant we al lunderstand that we are different. we have different view and different ways of doing things. Just because people have different views does not mean you must belittle them, you should try to understand WHY they have that view. but you dnt nessesarily have to agree with it:)

I never commented on if I agreed or disagreed with either side and this is exactly why.

"From now on, why not just ignore one another instead of trying to antagonize one another? It would be better for both sides, and certainly better for the community as a whole."

The WW2r's met with the Lindens in game last week and agreed on this... They said they were going to get the leftists, and the others who put up the anti Bush stuff to remove it, then we agreed to take down all Political posters from the wall.. The lindens then agreed to fix the damage the vandels had done to our wall..

We then agreed not to shoot weapons at people in safe zones, the Lindens said they would take action againt people who shoot weapons from safe zones into Jessie..

We had agreed to ALL of the Lindens terms....Somehow I guess someone forgot to tell the others in the community..

Some of you really really need to get a life. b1tching because i flew over your house wearing a penis or bitching because i put pictures up next to yours is really retarded, I almost feel like im in Kindergarten or 1st grade again. You need to find something better to do then to bitch about something so harmless.

Well lets see,,,I wonder if you even have a clue that people are just really sick of your variety of tasteless amusement?
It seems the only goal in this game that you may have is to piss people off, McEwen.
I for one really enjoy the game and intend on paying when it goes live, on the other hand you have stated, along with Robo, that you wouldnt pay for this pathetic game!
Some people only have a limited time inwhich they can play, because of family and real life interests. But when its spent trying to get you and a select few to stop harassing them it becomes less of a game and becomes a debate.
G A M E hhmm thats what i want to do, not have to protect what weve built or the atmosphere in which we play in.

You have been asked to stay away from us but you still intentionally come around to harass!
ww2 people are not the problem! Its just a select few that think ,they are bad asses and show off infront of others that are the problem. I do not come to Jessie because i have no intention of harassing you.
But i could and what would ya do? Shoot me,lol
I just want to have fun, i can argue with people in real life, i dont want to waste my game time doing that.

Only post ive made! I use the rest of my game time in game instead of arguing pointlessly with people that have different views of how they want to play the game

Strutt i think i was the one that banned from that area for trying to forget everything that happened, i dont think McEwen was ever told to stay out of your Billie Sanchez and Nate area.

Considering i have never seen you in game (jackson) i think you hold no point what so ever in what you say


I dont think the game is pethetic...i think the community is pethetic, ive ran into some cool people that can take a joke but most of the people ive ran into remind me of the hermit type of people that sit at there computer and dont want to be bothered by the outside world.

Lets not forget that i have also been harassed but i havent come on here complaining about how so and so came and deleted part of my house that was part public (unknown to me) and destroyed the land around my house that was also part of the house. But im sure nate has a good reason for why he did that right nate?...he probably wont read this since his little pin head is too far up a lindens ass.

ummm no sanchez i havent been told...and yes the little silver hockey pucks that shoot at me when i fly in that sim or go to Davadas are fun to play with, but i guess it does get annoying when i cant go in parts of Davads property because i have the hockey puck shooting at me knocking me in the air or following me back home

Coming from a drag queen thats funny. Billie your one of the people in this game that needs to get a life, seriously. Instead of crying over a man flying over your house naked or something pethetic, go outside and get some sun on that pasty white skin of yours or get some real life friends for once!
