Official Groundless Rumor Thread - please keep them here

There was a recent article, I can't remember where, that was talking about how Jack Thompson has been lurking around SL combat sims "gathering evidence" to sue Linden Labs for running a "murder simulator", and plans to bring legal action by year's end.

.

Xcite have just announced the new scuplted penis - THE X4 !

- with built in 20 person orgy animations!

EXCLUSIVE SCREENSHOT:

Sad to see that Xcite still is using stupid looking unrealsitic textures after all this time.

Deal. It's a one seater, so you might have to sit on the wing. Actually, I'm itching to try to take someone for a ride. I don't know whether it will work or not, but if you're willing to give it a go, you're on.

Five minutes to get your last rumors in!

Lol - another gamer inside joke. Imagine if Jack thompson hung around some of the mature areas of SL! He'd probably like it, that SOB.

/me is laughing on the outside but seething on the inside. I hate that idiot so much.

OK - I'm calling it a wrap. Now to figure out how to name winners. Why don't we do this - Oryx and Brenda, if you two are willing to co-judge, why don't we each pick out favorite two rumors. Then we can arrange them in order. EDITED OUT. I'll award Lindens to the top two and biplanes to all in the top six.

I'll hand out the Lindens when I get on tonight. As for the biplanes, I'm going to have you meet up with me. It's no transfer, but I looked at the notecard that came with it, and it said feel free to distribute freely, but please don't sell. The instructions said to rez it in front of whomever you want to give it to and have the other person take a copy.

IM me if you win and I'll try to do the same. I found an airfield that's a great place to hook up and make the transfer.

Let's do this via PM and then we'll make one post with the winners. BTW, I know Oryx is in, but I haven't actually asked Brenda. I'll PM her here, but I shouldn't have volunteered her without asking first, so my apologies.

Trout! Edit your User CP preferences so that I can send you a Private Message here!

Ahhhh...clever. If it's copy, it can be set to allow "anyone to copy".

Wish I'd thought of that. I just assumed it wasn't an option.

OK, done. Let's do this via Private Message.

We have the finalists picked out and are working out the top two. I think we're going first place second place and four runners up. Should have results soon.

OK – here’s the deal. I’m not going to pretend there wasn’t a knock down drag out fight. Some things were said. Feelings hurt. I’ve dried off my tears and bandaged my wounds, though. I’m changing the structure a little. We are going to have 3 places. I’m calling them First, Second and Third. We are also going to have three equal Runners Up. Everyone gets a biplane. First gets 8L (notice I’m getting more generous). Second gets 6 and third gets 4.

First: Squeezeone Pow for his unbelievable, yet somehow successful “LL is going to verify us by making us use our real names” rumor

Second: Islaban Neva for her strangely titillating webcam/sexgen bed camping rumor

Third Nika Talaj for her bile-inducing visual “Bill Gates is a Gorean sex slave” rumor

Runners Up:

Collette Meiji for her Ginko Rumor

Mickey James/Noam Sprocket for the Copybot/Matrix rumor (two biplanes will be awarded – they don’t have to share

And last but certainly not least

Bree Giffen for her Sensory feedback – smell-o-vision suit, USB 2.0 model

Remember to IM me in world so we can meet up and get you a copy of the plane. I’m at work right now, so Lindens will be awarded when I get home and get online. It might be late tonight. Don’t spend them all in one place.

I can't believe you and Brenda both kicked me in the shins. Ow!

*hobbles around her cubicle*

I heard that all prim babies grow up to become Linden$

Awwwww......come and have a hug! (And then please go and make some new clothes for me..... )

@Trout: GREAT sig!

ooooo thankies!

/me is glad Isablan already won, because her topper that Bill's owner is Steven Jobs surpassed the original idea.

And I would just like to add that Steve Job's avatar is a tall, svelte, sinewy panther named Yvette with blond dreadlocks, who always wears black leather and tattered lace.

(that's panther as in Gorean huntress, not neko)

Sorry Hon.
I'll give you a helicopter ride if it'll make you feel better.

You do realise that, coming from you, sounds a bit...saucy?

Hey!

This contest was rigged! I call shenanigans!

You can come too.

That's a damn rumour!!

Keith Oberman (Countdown on MSNBC) talks with an Oxford professor who claims that there's a 20% chance that FirstLife is all a big stupid simulation run by some cosmic 4th grader, which explains negligent bugs like hurricanes, cancer, Lindsey Lohan, and American Idol (seriously!):

(sounds like someone watched "The Matrix" while abusing 'simulated substances' a few times too many).

Rumor is:

Your RL is actually a video game world created by another being. They just werent imaginative enough to include self-flight, teleporting, and everyone being a 20+ Yr old Barbie/Ken Doll.

Also, everything you do in SL with your avatar is linked to a VooDoo Doll. Therefore, jumping, sitting, flying, etc, affects someone somewhere in the Real World.

Time to put this thread to bed...
Have to clear the decks for the weekend.

The jumpman comment and the penisman costume push things a bit too far.
