Could Noobs Earn Money By Being Used For Target Practice?

I just saw a thread about a coal mine as a possible source of earnings for new customers.

Would anyone be willing to pay new members to let themselves be used as targets?
Would anyone pay to fire a couple hundred watermelons at new members?

Perhaps there could be an audience that would reward dramatic reactions with a linden or two for the best screamin and running.

Maybe pay to drop them into dunk tanks like at carnivals, or shoot them like human canonballs?

Is it possible to make an avatar juggling machine? A scripted object that tosses avatars back and forth?

I just had my coffee, I am not firing too many brain cells at the moment.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'd pay to shoot people.



(That sounded worse than I intended.)

I think these ideas would be far more successful with fetid inner core as the targets ;)

We are bulletproof, immune to tracking devices and our shit don't stink, so that's a bad idea. :D

Or for the feted idea, I'd volunteer.

i dunno why anybody would pay to shoot newbies. you can shoot all the newbies you want for free at the welcome area. there's always bunches of them just standing around asking for it. bag the limit!

Maybe we should set up a "Shoot A Feted Inner Corer" event where people pay to shoot all those old-timers you love to hate. All money donated to charity. Maybe even a Linden or two would be willing to become a target for a good cause.

Please abide by the 3 newbie pelts per day rule. We need to carefully manage the newb herds so that future hunters will be able to partake of this exciting sport, and SL's natural environment remains a balanced and vibrant place.
