In what way Blaze? I don't understand the reasoning for your poll.

With every purchase Subliminal Alien Brain Beams penetrate your skull and infect you a bit more each time causing you to become more and more dependant on SLB.

Soon Thousands of zombie-like AV's will be lined up to worship and tithe at the friendly vagina shaped ATM which will dispense soul contracts for your signiture.

Soon there will be a new SLB slogan
SLB :: If you don't buy our tinfoil hats, our conspiracy will get you.


or......


OMFG ARE YOU RETARDED?

Wait a second, your poll is based on someone else's assumption that they tossed out in an argumentative moment???


Wow.

You mean like naïve people people who repost from locked threads so that they can restart a flamefest? Have you run out of material?

And yes, SLBoutique controls Linden Lab, the Tri-lateral Comission, The Knights Templar, The Papacy and has sent envoys back in time to control Nostradamus.

Im not going to comment on the slightly silly poll,
but as for th question,
It has as much hold over the world as SLX, SecondServer, (insert another webshop type service here).

We cant realy get any market share number without the help of the companys involved and linden help, so hows about we stop speculating and do the math ?

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.

Hopefully you can raise your game above a straw man.

I for one welcome our new SLBoutique overlords, and would like to remind them that as a seasoned player I can coerce others into doing their bidding.

Why Ingrid, this is a side of you that I don't remember ever seeing before due to effictive brainwashing.

I think we need a "scratches head in confusion" option for the poll. Cause color me confuzzled.

My problem with them and many of the Advertizers here, is they put up 10m signs on 16meter plots, and rotate them. True I got them to stope rotating through my land, but they still left it over hang on two other plots.

It was Flip's forum icon wasn't it? Everytime I look at it, I lose a weekend.

Mooph it seems Blaze continues to long for the "old days" when there was heart-pounding action with the daily struggles among empire builders, emerging realms, upstart queen-pins and shakers and jigglers.

Sorry times we inhabit these days...


:rolleyes:

Umm, I kinda sorta think he already has. I'm not sure why he chose "massive creation of meaningless polls on a bboard with a few hundred readers", but then again, people play curling and supposedly enjoy it.

The wording for this poll was rather confusing, but I think I know what Blaze is trying to say. Let me reword it to make it clear:


Should we counter SLBoutique's well deserved popularity with omminus yet unfounded speculation of wrongdoing and scare people into thinking bad things will happen if they patronize this service?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Pie (and yes)

Hope this helps.

Wait. I know this one.

Anshe runs Second Life with an iron grip largely via her sweatshop in China where she forces child slaves to work in SL all day for peanuts. Literally. No pay, just peanuts.

The FIC is any player you perceive to be better than you are in some way. Or if someone sticks up for someone else or agrees with their point of view, thats FIC too. Or has friends who show support.

Well, thats what I gathered from hanging around the forums, anyway.

I like this thread because Rose, Malachi, and Aimee all posted on the same page.

Just like our bylaws mandate.

Keep up the good work guys!
