Greetings. I am Burke Prefect. And as of the other day I founded a group named...
SecondLife Urban Tactics Squad. Or S.L.U.T.S. for short. (Because I'm so witty with acronyms that define me as a person)

I have two main goals for this group, to stalk around interesting and unexpored builds in armor, carrying high-powered weapons, and to maybe use SL as a giant counter-strike/rainbox six level.

You might wonder why I'd do this. The simple truth is, I'm bored. I'm fighting burn-out.

What I have so far::
- A hud-enabled p90. Still in dev. Other hud-enabled 'safe' weapons to follow.
- A standard armor kit. Feel free to pack your own low-lag suit.
- A cool group name.

What I need::
- People willing to allow us to use their locations for 'missions'. Which may require setup of certain elements like exploding glass panes, breachable doors, realistically penetratable walls, hostages, (prop) bombs, ponies, etc. And might like to participate in said events.
- Someone to help make all that crap I just listed.
- A low-lag firearm combat API that can be integrated easily into existing weapons systems. I've put in a request with a certain Foo, but I might put up a bounty.
- People like me who might be willing to work as a team, or at least in some orderly fashion. And can follow rules like "no nukes" or "no instant-kill weapons".
- Celebrity Hostages ("Aw, dude! You just capped Amy Webber, no cookie for you!";)

That's about it for now. I have a section on the League forums set up. If people want to join, I'm usually available in-world 7-10pm SLT. Or drop me an offline IM.

[edit]
What do you think of this idea for SL? Discuss.

[update]
It was been brought to my attention (twice) that SLUTS is a confusing name. So we'll be using my other group, the Stupendous Badasses. I will be dropping League of Villainy & Evil and SLUTS as of tonight. The LoV&E forums will be taken down and reformed under a new subdomain to be announced later.

There's an idea. Follow That Bird.
I'd need a huge butterfly net.

You think that forums only purpose is to advertise and fill paying jobs? No. It includes people seeking help and such; providing an income is not a requirement to post there.

Hi! I posted the link to the Emp & Help forum to help him increase the public awareness of his group. I am NOT asking for it to be moved but reminding him that he might get more responses if he posted there as well. So no I was not trying to be the forum police, but merely trying to help his cause. But I guess its popular to assume the worst.

Burke, you needed to toss on "What do you think of this idea for SL? Discuss." on the end of that post. :D

Oh, I'm not suggesting that you were trying to be forum police at all, I'm just observing that this self-serving OT posting happens a whole lot. I guess I just got used to it. :)

I just KNEW some party pooper was gonna say...shouldn't this be in the classifieds?

And UR probably right. But the 'where this post belongs' and the 'I'm gonna critique UR forum icon and signature' people make my teeth ache.

Sounds like great fun Burke.

I didn't mean to rag on Chris like that. Sorry. I would have appoligized sooner but I'm at work... putting out fires...

I might cross-post this later. I just thought I'd throw this ingredient into the General stew and see how people liked it.

Sounds like a blast.

Do you ever get to drive the fire truck or do you have to sit in the back with the dog? :D

Well. I'm working for a company that's did a major software update in Dec that everyone who uses it has to have installed... um... by last week.

I'm add'l tech support for this product because we know we're gonna get slammed.
And, of course, we're getting slammed.

I still prefer this to my last tech support job. :D

But I'd like to get some feedback on this, as I'll probably be taking over part of a sandbox for this practice run and 'reactive environment' stuff.

you GOT feedback..

S.L.U.T.S.?!? ..hmm. where have i heard something like that before?

i know there was something.. hold on, just a moment.. i'll get it..

oh yeah! SL:UT!!!

so, now there'll be both SL:UT and S.L.U.T.S.??? why.. you.. you... you SLUT!!



..nevermind the fact that i haven't even gotten close to getting SL:UT up and running, or that i don't have a group.. or a build.. i have a name, dammit! :p

-

ok, so it sounds pretty cool, Burke. who knows, maybe if i get SL:UT off the ground we can do some cross-promotion or something. you know.. SL:UT on S.L.U.T.S. action!! ;)

have fun with this.. and maybe if you bitch at me enough, i'll get off my tuckus and actually start getting into my photo-journalism.. but, i have to get on Cybin's back to get some land for me to plop the SL:UT offices on. (and with the speed he moves.. *shudder* ..well, i'd probably die if i held my breath while waiting! lol)

Screw it. I'll form a different group. Or just revert back to my other, less easily confused group, the Stupendous Badasses

My Imperial Guard is trained in Urban Warfare, but they mostly do covert stuff. Dragging my political enemies out of bed kicking and screaming and into the night, etc.

Sweet. I'm already working on our first mission profile. I'm calling it Operation Panty Raid in honor of Miss Weber.
