From: Willow Zander tsk tsk are you TRYING to get into trouble on purpose lady, your my sanity on here... now QUIT IT!  What? You don't need to TRY and get in trouble round here to be suspended. Other people will gladly land you in trouble for anything that they think could be twisted in such a way that they might be able to conceive being offended by it. But this war sure better have some clear ground rules, or it's going to be a major headache for the Lindens afterwards sifting through all the people crying about one thing or another that wasnt fair. |

From: Adam Cooper This is a great idea......
If you get enough people together with the same last names, you could have "family wars" too.....
"Welcome to the REAL family feud!!! Todays special contestants are the LINDEN'S vs the MADISON'S!!! Lets Get Ready To Rumble!!!!!"
Oh the possibilities............. Hmmm where is Darwin when you need him...? |

You can get them in a number of locations. Check Francis Chung's profile for landmarks and you should be on your way. There happens to be a kiosk at Pixeldolls HQ, for example. Hope this helps.  |

ooo oooo oo OOHHH!!! Great idea!!! We should be able to set up armies for it and recruit people to be in our army aslong as they enter the sim. I'm gonna start recruiting tommorrow... If you let me =D Cos group wars with tanks and stuff like that would be coooool.

From: Haney Linden A bunch of us Lindens used to take on residents in a battle and we'd love to do it again - but only if you give us a real challenge. Thanks Haney.. and as far as kris goes.. pfft i already got the linden go ahead. from my understanding it went pretty high up and the conclusion is if you file a abuse report for getting shot in my plainly marked sim it will be just a waste of time. Now back to Haney.. dont be to sure of yourself ace! i got duel seburo's and a whole cache of clips full of ass whoop to dispense. (wow i feel my ego getting bigger and bigger smack talking to a linden..you know i love you guys!) When would be a linden/resident friendly time to set the battle for max participation..and no using you guy's god powers either.. that would just be wrong! Also there is 1024 missing out of my sim that is owned by linden labs(grr) im going to mark that as the safe zone so that will be one of the places spectators can perch and watch. If you are a gun salesmen please contact me in world as i will have a armory for you guys to sell your latest and greatest. (anything better then what i have in my inventory will not be allowed because i refuse to lose..only kidding) |

Kinda takes out the key meaning behind war if you schedule it and make it an event. but if you want to schedule a friendly game of lazer tag I'm in.  btw in all things guns: WWIIOLers > Lindens |

You mean RL war? I COULD debate this. But I was only playin' around Billy. sheesh. edit: because I couldn't help myself off the top of my head, 20th century alone: US involvement in WWII Korean War Yom Kippur War 6 Days War all of these were begun by an unannounced surprise attack. and I do believe Saddam invading Kuwait back in the early nineties was by surprise (tho to be honest I'm not entirely sure about that ). Don't hate me Billy. I'm really not a dick (at least some people don't think so) I just really dig military history. Next time I'll jump into wars begun during the Roman Republic and before. I am all for some scheduled SL fighting. Us Trigger Happy mofos gotta stick together. I suppose I'm done derailing your thread. Sorry. |

From: Devilock Onizuka
off the top of my head, 20th century alone:
US involvement in WWII
Actually, if you do some research on US involvement in WWII, it was no surprise if you were referring to the Pearl Harbor attack...well it was surprise to everyone in Pearl Harbor, but not the US government. The US knew several hours (8+) before that the Japanese were on their way to Hawaii....in fact, the US knew before the planes left Japanese air space. This was well documented in several history books/documentaries used in Ethnic Studies courses in several universities across the globe. If I recall correctly, I think it was the US's way of legitimately entering the war...funny how politics works that way...but we all know how shady the USA can be if they need to be  .

Fallen Faith Class 5 G-36 > whatever you have
Why?
Voice activated controll settings such as...
1. Bullet Rez Distance configurable
2. Bullet Speed configurable
3. Bullet Length configurable
4. Bullet Spread configurable for larger crowds (spray and pray mode)
5. Overall Accuracy at very long distances
Anyway when is this event taking place?
