I myself have had to call Lindens SEVERAL time because there are people who are killing me and other people the second they spawn, sometiems before the teleporting page has loaded someone has shot me. I think they need to do soemthign mabey such as the spawn area is safe, or somthign to that effect. What do you guys think????

I agree with you. As a matter of fact I was there when this happend to you. I sent in a abuse report on the object that was killing people.

One thing you can do is set your home to a location in rausch so that if u die you will respawn at a diffrent location in rausch.

Automated killing? That's pretty harsh. There could definitely stand to be a safe zone.

Automated killing is the sort of thing that is against the CS (and probably some obscure unprinted rule about not doing it).

You know, I would really like the ability to set multiple Home locations, especially with regards to the combat sims.

Also, seconded to any talk about a safe rez zone with the combat regions. While Clyde was in an awkward position, you could never have to worry about somebody from Jessie or Rausch spawnkilling you when you TPed in.

Well yes, there was a 'welcoming committee' the other day. I died on arrival. Got properly tooled up and came back and cleared the sim.

It's a COMBAT area for God's sake! If you can't handle it - stay out.

I do wonder sometimes. I recently got a ticking off from a Linden for rezing Combots in Rausch! For those not in the know they ONLY attack if you shoot at them...

So, rezing bots that only fight back if you attack them IN A COMBAT AREA is a no-no?

Dur?

Bah. Get a decent shield... ;-)

Incidentaly if you want to set home to a point somewhere in Rausch bear in mind that your prefs, which you can access at the login screen before connecting, allow you to switch from home to last login, which gives you the option of the Rausch TP point AND another point in Rausch.

The idiots can't be in two places at once as far as I know...

However, seeing as arriving in Rausch naked only gives you a 50% chance of survival these days I think a chain of void sims between Rausch and the weapons testing sandbox would be useful. The idiots can't ambush you in the sandbox - but tping into the sandbox, tooling up and flying into Rausch would solve your problem.

So much for the brilliant idea of moving Rausch to an island (or three)! ANOTHER great idea by LL...
