Other: Whoever is getting what they are wanting out of SL, be it building and scripting for fun, running a business, or just socializing.

If you mean where it's moving historically speaking? Capitalists, of course.

Capitalists are winning at the moment.

Unfortunately, that's also the problem.. because the losers can always quit. And the nature of Capitalists is that they can only win if other people lose. :)

Clearly Other == Pie, the true winner.

Sorry, both capitalists and communists are clearly the losers in this scenario. :D

Silly rabbit.

I miss "Lindens" in this ... the 500 L$ they pay me every week is worth less and less.

Second Life is a second ... life. The question, who is winning in life is so absurd, only sick minds can think about it in earnest. :)

Oh Pham, don't try to overthink it. Its easy to think of RL winners and losers:

RL Winners: CEOs, Doctors, Millionaires, Trophy Wives
RL Losers: McDonalds order taker, garbage man, junkies, dope addicts.

See?

Trophy wives? Bad Jamie! I sentence you to watch Shopgirl 3 times and ponder the error of your ways.

Somebody has to win.... :)


You see that building over there? I bought it three years ago. My first real estate transaction. I sold it ten months later and made $800,000 profit. It was better than sex. At the time it was all the money in the world. Now it's a day's pay.

Since SL isn't a game guess what's won is the war. Though the war never ends. Guess one can still keep score battle by battle. My latest win then would be getting access (long term?) restored to my land in the Shepard Sim. Score one for the _honest_ capitalist faction, a.k.a. large majority of content creators in SL. :)

RL Winner: Garbage man with a loving wife and kids who has little money but is happy and content and looks forward to coming home every day.

RL Loser: Millionaire CEO whose trophy wife doesn't really love him, has plenty of money but stays in his office because he has no reason to come home every day.
