I crashed Federal... oh... probably about 10 times... But dammnit! I wanted my penis tower to be equipped with a bed hung from the roof with physics enabled chains!

I also recall walking in on people engaged in primative beta cyber sex, then sitting down to watch.

I can't remember what it was that I did, but when I woke up I was naked, the club was empty, and I was L$1000 richer.

I went exploring and found this castle being built. There was something in it called "Gift for So and So". It was set for sale for $1 so I bought it. Then I rated the build because it was cool and I went on my way.

Later the person IM'ed me and told me someone left a gift for her in her build. I said oh yeah, I bought it for $1. It never occured to me that it wasn't for me to buy, but for her to own.

Later she tp'ed me and I thought she just wanted me to hang out with her. Finally she asked for it back. And I said oh, you want that. Then I realized the gift was for her and i had basically stolen it. I felt kind of bad and tp'ed home real quick after giving it back to her.

I set off a "Hand of God" knockoff somebody gave me in the Mature Sandbox my first day . Kicked everybody in a 96m radius - and it was crowded - out of the sandbox (and some out of the sim).

I'm still not allowed back into the Mature Sandbox.

I had been in SL only a day or so when I found a few older technical documents about how SL was designed, including references to the physics engine and 'deep think' situations. I had thought to myself 'hey, I bet a deep think loop couldn't be *that* bad.' so I set out and created one.

Two hours later, I finally managed to delete the objects I used to make the server all but freeze solid in a deep think cycle. I did it just outside the original club Elite at the time, so...don't think anyone could even tell there was a slowdown.

(And btw, yes a deep think loop *is that bad*!)

I'd say this was a joke, but the same thing happened to me. WTF? Where did all this money come from? I know I was naked. I think I was dancing. What was the name of that guy I winked at?

I used to wake up on old MUCKs with people announcing I was their wife too. This only happened to me...Twice? On SL? Wow. At least when I get drunk, I stay at home to have mysterious stuff happen to me!

As usual, my heroic nature took the brunt of HoseQueen's antics. Don't anyone pity me, I'm quite used to it now.

Of course, I NEVER did anything bad as a newbie. I was and still remain the perfect well-behaved resident.

Oh - well maybe there was that one night when Hosey and I were, *ehem, "exploring" and overheard an innocent conversation. I, being the good av that I am, immediately wanted to leave the area, but Hose MADE me stay.

Hmm - I think I still have a copy of that chat log somewhere. *Looks around inventory* Oh well, can't find it. But I'm sure if you ask HoseQueen she still has it.

Yes, definately - poo on balls is icky.

LMAO Yep Zippy poo on balls is icky !! I have the notecard still and will drop you a copy. My horrid actions weren't really at the newbie stage but did involve Hosie and Zippy too if I remember correctly ? Something about spewing anal fissures in place of the normal head and the WA.
