They apparantly released something that would supposidly "opt you out": From: someone The Garlic Necklace is copy, transfer, and free. The user wears it once, clicks ‘Activate’ in the menu, and will not receive another bite request from one of our vampires. Their name will also be taken off of any bite list we have on our website. People may continue to receive vampire bite requests from other vampire systems, but not from ours. You can pick up a Garlic Necklace at Hunter’s Haven at Liquid South. If it actually works it's a good - if too little too late - first step. A script in a prim owned by the parcel owner that disables the ability to bite would be even better. And it seems we have spamwolves to look forward to next ( http://werewolf.slbloodlines.com/)  . |

*snorts* Even though it's free, I don't want to wear a stupid piece of script that will allow me to 'opt-out' of their idiotic game. That's still playing along.
Besides, garlic, while it goes great in many foods, doesn't go well with my clothing.

The manual says you don't have to wear it constantly, you just need to put it on once and 'Activate'. Then you can throw it away. But if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to go shopping with my biggest gun from now on.

Is it true that they just released a werewolf version of the game now?
Does this mean we are going to be inundated all over again with "can I chew on you" requests?

Maybe there will be a serial killer version. "Hi. Mind if I jam this ice pick into your forehead?"

Therefore, I am selling protection services. I'll hang around with my clients and verbally abuse any vampire or werewolf who dares to spam them with bite requests. It's Second Life. There isn't much else I can really do, but I'm pretty good at verbal abuse. BTW, I'm making a Weretrout avatar for Halloween. I'll put it out as a freebie if I get it done. Having trouble with the head right now.

I think you may have the next big scam....er business opportunity. Lemme know if you want a partner, I have some seed money. I was going to invest in some rodent themed amusement park, but I've kinda gone cold on the whole thing.

From the Bloodlines website today: "It’s unfair that the majority of vampires are punished for the actions of the minority ‘bad apples’. After careful consideration we’ve decided to release “The Garlic Necklace” to alleviate this situation. The Garlic Necklace is copy, transfer, and free. The user wears it once, clicks ‘Activate’ in the menu, and will not receive another bite request from one of our vampires. Their name will also be taken off of any bite list we have on our website. People may continue to receive vampire bite requests from other vampire systems, but not from ours. You can pick up a Garlic Necklace at Hunter’s Haven at Liquid South." Just passing on the info |

But...but...Brenda... rodents are fun loving little critters, and we deserve our own park. I thought we had a deal? Was it the ears? It was the ears wasn't it. I knew it was the ears! Why didn't I just leave my hat on dagnabit! |

You write the "weretrout hud" and give it out for free.....then tell everyone who gets annoyed by the requests for nibbles from the weretrout mass's that the only way to be taken off the Weretrout list is to have a Trout rating!!!!!...and the only way to get one is to send scantily clad or nudie pictures of thier avatars to you right? Sooo.....much.....potential..... |

I wonder how long it will be before we spot someone wearing all 3 huds at the same time (bloodlines, hunger, and lycan)
Oh the tragedy!

From: Ilianexsi Sojourner Awesome... is it going to have bloody fishhooks hanging out of the mouth? Well...damn. It is now! That's a great idea! I should be able to incorporate that pretty easily if I can ever get the damned head shaped right. It's like Weretrout-mashed-potato head right now. I'm sort of working off of a design that I saw at a local restaurant - a really old drawing of a fish with human arms and legs. Only I'm making it slimy and splotchy green with black lifeless eyes and a taste for human brains. We're not talking super high quality work, because I'm a crap builder, but it's a fun project with Halloween coming up. From: Kyllie Wylie No No trout... potential... think of the potential....

Sooo.....much.....potential..... Genius. I'll still make the avatar a freebie for whomever wants one, but the HUD is gonna cost people some serious L!! Edit: I'll call it "Brainlines: The Spawning".

From: Jordan Whitt Too lazy to look back and forget where I was up to reading this thread...but saw this link on the SLX forum board and (forgive me if its already been posted and discussed) thought it might give some help...or a giggle. http://www.landmachine.com/?products=buffybotThere has got to be a better way than to have someone have an alt idle indefinitely; there just about has to be a way to accomplish this in-world. Kind of wish the Lindens would crack down on bots... |

Just passing on the info I got one of those last night talking to Lyle Maeterlick after a suggestion here pointed me that way. One thing I'm thinking about suggesting back to him is that it also does punitive damage to the offending vampire. |

From: Cheree Bury I suggested to the programmer that he keep track of denials and once there were 3 denials from a person, they would be put on a list that would prevent them from appearing on the HUD altogether. He balked at the suggestion saying that it would require a redesign of the system. So I don't know it they really want to do anything. I'm not sure it would require that much unless they really painted themselves into a corner using purely linear coding instead of anything slightly more modular. |
