Is this guy serious?

*grabs popcorn and curls up on sofa awaiting more sordid details*

This is great soap opera guys... can't wait to see what happens next.

Just found this old thread...

SS is history now, folks. SBS is the new version (they are not as official as SS).

Sorry, I admit that I took things to far. But the SS really is just a bunch of tools, all they do is stand around waiting for something to happen.

I previously was the Chief of Police in the SLPD, this job was so stressful I had to retire from it, but hey... we actually did stuff.

Lindens do not mind if we patrol SL, just as long as we make it clear that we are not affiliated with LL and that we do not grief. Over the months I have fully understood the definition of griefing. Currently I am starting a private police department on an island that my friend is building. It will, hopefully, be a bit more quieter

But to those of you who see this topic, please disregard it as of now because it is completely obsolete. You may close/move/delete it as you like.

If you own an island, you have the right to basically govern yourself, enforce your own rules, and roleplay whatever you wish.

On the mainland, you don't.

Your game, LL's rules, your choice.

If you dont own the land i think its just another way of pretending your macho and a way to grief people. Now you see why i never go to public sandboxes. Infact if i ever do go to one i will be sitting in a non physical vehicle the whole time.

I report all greifers. SS, PD, or nonaffiliated.

LL took SL off SLPD, I think they minded. As for this thread IT WAS SILENT UNTIL YOU NECROPOSTED. YOU should have disregarded it as it was a nonissue. All you want is drama and argument. Quit trolling.

They are RPers... or people who think they have some kinda right to that Sandbox .. ignore and treat like anyother griefer..

You always get the crowd on a sandbox that think they own it, you can tell them because instead of actually working on projects they just stand around rezzing crap and playing Wavs they *think* are funny over and over.. in the Sandboxes.. Mute is king!

I daresay the Lindens bloody well do mind you "patrolling"...

Some people get over the urge to play Cops and Robbers.

I guess some don't. The ones who don't, however, need to stay farrrr away from me.

Else I might be tempted to turn their "enforcement tools" sideways and insert them.

Phee
(Who dislikes wannabe police as much as dirty cops)

Wow, you know, don't quote me on this one, but some day you'll be on that specific island and I'LL be the one that saves your ass from a griefer war. That day will come...
Unless you ARE the griefer, which is a more likely case due to your hatred for police.

No, you won't save me from a greifer war unless its by telling your friends to leave me alone.

I also don't have a hatred for police, I have a hatred for bullies pretending to be police.

Just a quick question. What did you do to the two people in your "pd" group that attacked me? Isnt that griefing?

This has to be the funniest thing I have read in ages! TY so much for the laughs!

SS,SBS or whatever your called, get over yourself dudes! Simple RPing is fine, but actually trying to be some sort of security service is not!

I would suggest that you either ARE under 18, or you should seriously worry about the state of your mental health!

Besides, attack me guys, you'll be sorry!

Leave the poor folks in sandbxes alone and play on the combat sandbox instead. There you can play cops and robbers, cowboys and indians or anything else you wanna play

Honest, how can you take these guys seriously? LOL

...you should take steps to educate your membership on not posting when they are blithering idiots. Kinda like how after a hurricane, the news people seem to only find the most ignorant and stupid among the survivors.."Yeh, I see'd it. It were pandelerium! It done tored the roof off'n my trailer an' kilt 6 of my 18 dawgs!" By the same token, twits like Peter Nelson posting just make the rest of you look like a) a bunch of kids playing virtual vigilantes and then b) like a group that has no internal filter process to stop morons from posting in your name. Sure, you're posting here, now, to disavow any claims made by Peter Nelson, but the damage has already been done. He and, by proxy, you, now look like chumps.

Even if PD is a roleplay group you shouldn't force your roleplay onto others. Some of us aren't into it, and most RPs do not mix and match very well. I RP as a medieval Wolf Furry. Where she comes from we have knights not cops. If a cop went back in time to those ages would he be respected as law enforcement? Only if he was in full platemail with the empires insignia on their tabard.

If i visit a sandbox and a griefer starts shooting me, i'm going to do what the lindens say and report it to them! If i'm in my own land and this happens, i will do the same, but i also send them home with a perma ban. Theres no reason to have you to salve this problem for me. You will only get your self suspended if you shoot back reguardless who shot first. Thats how LL looks at it.

When they look at it. Which, considering how few Lindens there really are, statistically isn't all that often.

In practical terms, suspensions do happen. For example, one guy who thought he was going to command an army and "invade" SL and establish a beachhead at Sandbox Island got a five day suspension.

Five days. That was it. For leading an invasion force of a few dozen griefers. And he's still got an account, so nothing appreciable happened. Thank the gods we have the ToS, but don't expect LL to be able to take action on any but the most violent, heinous acts of astonishing duration.

Linden Labs is not a government, people, nor are they a justice system. They're a company. And like all companies who run massively-multiuser online environments, they are completely unable to provide anything like a consistent justice system for it because of the shear numbers involved.

It's not their fault. It's just the way it is, and every company who runs a service like this has exactly the same problem Linden Labs has with Second Life with respect to this. They're trying really hard, but there are just practical limits to what they can do.

And if you think it's anarchy now, wait till the average online population doubles to 16,000.

A vigilante is only called that because he or she acts without the support of the legal system. In this case there really isn't one to speak of, so whether they're vigilantes or not is really open to debate.

A self-styled Sandbox Patrolman helped me out last week when I got caged on Sandbox Island. About half those present told him to butt out, and about half asked him for help. He helped me identify the griefer, and we both AR'ed the twit, so he helped. If people want to help, I'm all for it. People tend to behave themselves better if they think there's some kind of peer pressure active against them if they misbehave.

personally i don't think its a bad idea.. a society should be responsible for policing its on.. the only problem is when they get out of control.. than ppl like me feel the need to shot them.. heck what am i saying, i want to shot em for the fun of it
