SL is going to be made into a full length animated feature starring the voice of Bruce Willis as Phil Linden. Dan Linden will be played by a bag of rocks. Nicholas Portocarrero of Ginko Finances will be played by Denis Holahan (Jerry the Banker from Scarface) |

Brendan Cale: I heard that we will have to use Hubs to travel on Mainland sims again instead of direct teleporting, since it causes too much lag!
Pratyeka Muromachi: I heard LL will disable the mouse interface because now that casinos are banned the only use left for the mouse is pixel sex... Oooh Novis! I personally LOVE that rumor... ahem.... _____________________

God has stolen the server code and intends to use it to generate new worlds on the far edge of (un)known space. First, tho, he's hired Nicholaz to make it actually work.  )Obligatory rumor: Nicholaz is actually Nicholas's alt. (Dunno 'bout you, but I feel better about my GPBs already!) |

I have some bad news. LL are sick of us whining and moaning so have decided to move everything to Moscow and go back to the pre glasnost years. We will be forced to move into SL through a portal on our monitor.
No private land, all will be taken back and LL will build ugly grey concrete tower blocks where we will be asigned space according to our needs. A family of four will be fortunate and have a living room and a bedroom but of course they will share basic bathroom and kitchen facilities with other residents in the block. We will all be put to work but whatever we make will be for export. There will be long queues around the block waiting for the shop to open which will have for sale 6 loaves of black bread, 2 iffy smelling sausages and a block of lard. I could go on, but you get the message  |

@Isablan: untrue. Bill Gates already has an avatar, he is a kajiru in a small camp in one of the plains Gorean sims. Poor guy is tired of always being in charge. So, it is true he is collared to Steve Jobs? _____________________

I hear a rumour recently that playing Second Life causes a serious real life ilness called "polygonosis vertexface". This seems to be backed up by a recent picture of Clint Eastwood, who unbeknownst to many, is a long term SL veteran - and now it seems, a sufferer of "polygonosis vertexface":

I heard that Linden Lab will be establishing a Sims style of play for Second Life in which your avatar has to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and skill mindlessly on camping chairs.

but of course they will share basic bathroom and kitchen facilities with other residents in the block. So I guess it's true that we're all gonna have to, like someone else just posted, eat and sleep and go potty like in the Sims? _____________________

I heard that the owner(s) of Ginko have had a change of heart and they're going to re-open Ginko and not only give everybody back the money they lost but give them the promised 60% interest too!
To stop all the complaints about camping and campers, LL will be adding an entry to the TOS that makes at least 1 hour of camping per month mandatory. Failure to camp will result in L$12 ( L$2/10 min [the avg. camping earnings]) being deducted from the offender's account balance. This will not only stop all the b*tching, but also help stimulate the SL economy ( and LL's wallet ). Someone's written a script that causes users of sex AOs to get virtual rug burns. _____________________

I heard a rumor concerning compromising positions,
Dan L and a big land owner with the initials "A.C." But these are PG forums. |
