(Disclaimer: This newsflash is a blend of fact and fantasy; the griefer attack and economic implications are real, but the physical destruction was a result of my own actions.)
At approximately 2:30 PM SLT on Saturday, August 12, Gerami Fizz returned to his company headquarters in Alice to see a sickening display of griefer terrorism at its worst.
Two griefers on unverified accounts had gained entry to the shop at FizzWorks Independent and wired all of the vendors with C4. They then proceeded to fill the shop with physical spheres named "LOL U SUCK" and board all windows, doors, and external structures, effectively making it impossible to shop at this location.
As Fizz approached, he inadvertently tripped a proximity trigger, detonating the C4 and demolishing his home. Amazingly, most of the shop's merchandise survived the blast, and has been placed for sale on a temporary wall while rebuilding commences.
"I'm just lucky I caught this when I did," commented Fizz, "If I'd been on vacation or something, I could have lost thousands of Linden dollars in sales."
As in all dark situations, Fizz was able to look on the bright side. "I'd been meaning to renovate this place pretty soon anyway. I guess this is just the sort of kick I needed to get going on it."
Want to see the damage for yourself? Come take a look at Alice (16, 145, 59).

I am sorry this happened to you. After your post I dont know if crying or laughing is the correct response.  I am noticing lots of fire and other griefer things being left at shopping complexes. At least you kept your positive outlook.

If I remember, I'm going to look just for something to do, because I still have a nagging feeling.

And feed the dog, the cat, and the gerbils! And, the lawn needs mowing! NOW! Just adding to that nagging feeling you have.

OH, Gerami! I'm so saddened to hear of this! Please do let me know if I can be of any service as you proceed with rebuilding.
