impending gor raid? Can we defend ourselves legally?

THERE IS NO POPCORN IN GOR!

Maybe we should launch a crusade against Gor. We haven't had a real war in SL for several years now.

We can form a coalition of humans, furries, vampires and whatever. Of course we will all need to agree on a combat system first. Things were so much simpler when it was just damage enabled or not.

Have fun storming the castle!

LOL, how entertaining this thread is! so there was actually a war in SL a few years ago? can anyone point me to anywhere there might be documentation about this? just curious about it all..

Combat was much simpler in those days. The war started an arms race. Travel to Jessie if you want to see the wall. The rest of the old Outlands sims are prime real estate now.

There was a revolt as well when the Linden's tried to tax us for creating objects. Does anyone still have any tea chests in inventory?

Ohhh Corn Nuts. I love Corn Nuts. The last bag I bought cost me $1100.00 USD.

Figures, as soon as Trout brings his popcorn and snacks over to Gor they'll go and make a fetish out of it.

I should have specifically mentioned Nekos in my op. Can't go to war with Gor without a large contingent of Neko warriors.

Shirley, these don't intelligence and, even if they did, you probably wouldn't want a stupid one.

I do wish I had one of those. I've got one of the Jesse Wall signs, though.

I'm ready!

Jannae sharpens her Katana and oils the mechanism of her Benelli shotgun.

I'm ready!




...and don't call me Shirley.

I've been using that oil to fry donuts. Good choice in shotguns, though.

Thanks Jannae that was interesting reading.. I will be travelling to Jessie to have a look (as soon as I can tp that is)

If you leave us alone we'll leave you alone. Simple. BTW your swords and traps are no match for technology.

BDSM play - I sub and dom equally.
Horse play - ponygirl and rideable SL horses.
Art of any kind - erotic to modern
Fetish play - I'm open minded.

I don't get it. Gor people have missiles now?

she made some smart ass remarks and since then there have been Goreans showing up and just staring at her and then sending her messages like "you've been marked and claimed".

And so started the great popcorn rebelion!

this 4th of aug in the 5th year of our linden

Maybe we should have a whip round and send them popcorn parcels - maybe the nukes could be retro-fitted to carry popcorn instead of teeth-melting nuclear goop.

The Ottoman Empire?

OMG Bree thats funny! We will certianly consider other options. But I'm sure theres more than one of you who'd love to watch this happen.

btw heres the spec cards of the missle.
PAYLOAD:

The CENTURION has a variable payload, selectable from the "Payload" option in the menu. The Payload can have any combination of the following three effects:

1. Push - the CENTURION will strike everybody in a 96m radius with powerful vertical and lateral push.

2. Damage - The CENTURION will kill anybody in the 96m blast radius instantly, assuming they are in a non-safe zone. This kind of kill goes right through shields.

3. Radiation - After the blast is over, the area will remain infected for approximately 2-3 minutes, dealing slow damage to anyone who enters the 96m blast radius in a non-safe zone.

The CENTURION also has a harmless mode, in which it has no effect other than the visual and sound effects.

The owner of the CENTURION will not be affected by the blast. As owner, you may stand at ground zero and be completely immune to any and all effects.

The CENTURION is not designed, and will never BE designed, to cause lag and/or damage to the sim or grid. While some brief lag is inevitable with the script actions required to cause such widespread destruction, we have done our best to mitigate this and ensure that this lag does not last longer than a few seconds.


COORDINATES:

To set the target for your CENTURION, click on the missile to get the menu and select "Coordinates." The CENTURION will prompt you for the necessary information: speak this on open chat.

Setting the destination for the CENTURION is simple, but must be done properly. The proper format looks like this:

Jessie: 125,64,122

This will direct the CENTURION towards the sim Jessie at position (125,64,122).

Note that the CENTURION will auto-correct the altitude of detonation to ground/sea level if the vector you have set is below ground/sea level. This means that setting the last number to 0 (as in "Jessie:125,64,0" ) will cause it to detonate at ground level at 125,64 in Jessie.

Note also that the CENTURION will default to the center of the sim at ground level (128,128,0). This means that if you set the coordinates as simply "Jessie" it will land in Jessie at 128,128,0 (ground level). Likewise, if you set coordinates as "Jessie:125", the CENTURION will fill in the remaining values, making the target Jessie:125,128,0.

The easiest way to set a target is to open your map, locate the sim you're attempting to target, and click on the spot you want to hit. Then copy the name of the sim from the map, and you can paste it into the chat bar along with the colon ( and the appropriate numbers when setting your target.

Once set, the CENTURION will tell you its exact target; make ABSOLUTELY SURE this is accurate.

The support passphrase for this product is "Manhattan Project."


LAUNCHING:

Once you have armed your CENTURION and it has accepted the coordinates, click on the missile to launch it. Once launched, it will occasionally inform you of its progress towards its destination. If it goes silent for more than, say, 2 full minutes, you may safely assume that it has been the victim of a dead or missing sim in its path. The CENTURION will inform you when it detonates.


INTERSIM GUIDANCE SYSTEM (IGS):

IGS is an experimental system still under development by Labs. It enables an equipped projectile to move between contiguous sims. It is important to understand the limitations and opportunities such a system presents:

1. IGS may only move an object between contiguous sims, meaning sims that are connected to each other by other sims. No object can cross sims that do not exist; therefore an IGS-equipped projectile cannot be used to transport the CENTURION from a private island to the main grid, for example.

2. While IGS is equipped with some dead-sim avoidance systems (for example, it knows enough to move from the southern sims in the main grid to the northern sims along the 1 sim-wide land bridge that connects them, IT IS UP TO YOU to ensure that it has a reasonably straight path between its launching position and its final target.

3. The effectiveness of this system, of course, is indirectly proportional to the distance its attempting to cover. This means that firing the CENTURION from 3 or 4 sims away is more likely to result in a successful trip than firing it from 12 sims away.

4. Your CENTURION is equipped to destroy itself in the event of a failed transit. If the intersim trip times out, the CENTURION will alert you and then implode, causing no damage to its surrounding environs.

5. Intersim travel is a tricky business, and your CENTURION will be subject to any sim quirks it may encounter along the way. If a sim in its path is down, for example, it may cause the CENTURION to fail in its transport attempt. If two attempted launches fail in a row, it may be necessary to move to another sim in order to alter the CENTURION'S flight path around a potentially dead or buggy sim.


CAVEAT:

This missile WILL cause grief to everybody in 96m of the blast radius if not set to harmless. Please use this weapon with discretion and care, and remember that in non-combat zones, the victims of your nuke will be informed by SL of who hit them and may choose to report you for ToS violation.
