How I created the Prim of Evil - dire warning :-)

Hi

I was in a nice new skybox when it happened I wanted to give my friend something called '91 Free Scripts'. After messing about trying to transfer the folder they came in I thought oh I can put them inside a prim and give her that. This was a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I created the ubiquitous plywood cube and copied the scripts in thinking 'objects inside objects' not 'scripts inside objects'. Of course all the 91 scripts started running simultaneously transforming the familiar even friendly sight of the plywood cube into the Prim of Evil. It glowed malignantly and emitted strange particles and immediately me and my friend fell through the floor of the skybox. Obviously the scripts contained within the Prim of Evil had interacted in a strange way and produced a malevolent consciousness (think Skynet - only in a small plywood cube). The P of E had probably decided to take over Second Life completely but was starting with my new skybox.

After teleporting back to the box and of course falling through the floor again I tried to sit on a tame prim and edit it and myself back up to skybox level but it seemed the malign influence was stopping me sitting on anything. After finally rezzing something with some kind of sit script in it (can't remember what) I managed to get up to the level of the skybox but at a safe distance from the P of E. I sighted it and applied the delete button and again all was well.

But remember this dear friends, think twice before putting 91 scripts in the same object...

"sounds like a good idea!" -under-age-but-verified griefer

Haha, nice story Christian. )

I did something similar once. I wanted to give a new friend a bunch of scripts, and foolishly dragged quite a few of them at once into a prim on the ground... Fortunately, most were building and scripting tools, and few were able to do anything unexpected.

However, the prim vanished, and I started seeing some floating numbers appearing at random around us, and occasionally I was getting strange messages. I turned on "Highlight Transparent" and was able to see the now-invisible cube flitting around on it's own. Right-clicking it and selecting edit froze it in its tracks. Then I was able to stop all scripts in the object and delete it.

i've done that before


What you gotta do is rez your cube, then edit the cube and set it 'NOT RUN SCRIPTS'

then put them in to the cube

have had the same mistake during my nub collecting days, did the same as u did and dragged a+100 scripts into the prim not realizing what i did till releasing the mouse button

think they built some sort of safeguard in cause back then the sim would just crash lol

I tried gargling once with Coca Cola when i had a mouthful of toothpaste (the water had gone off, there was none in the fridge, just this bottle of Coke sitting there, so I thought, any port in a storm). My head nearly exploded with brown foam, it was pouring out of my mouth, my nose, down my throat. thought I was going to drown in the damn stuff.

Try it

Run For Your Lives. The Prim Of Evil Will Devour Us All!!

Did its head spin around while spouting green projectile vomit?

I'm pretty sure this object made its way into my region and lagged my stuff.

Desmond Shang here, the new mouthpiece for her Majesty, the Prim of Evil, Mistress of Lag, and Queen of All Your Scripting Resources.

She asks me to deliver this message:

*clears throat*

"I'm in ur sim, usin ur capacity"

Furthermore, she demands that everyone leave at least 5.0 msec free and clear for her Personal Use, and another 3.0 msec available for her minions.

Finally, she also deigns to offer you a free HUD as her blessing, which you must never remove, and asks that you submit your Second Life name and password to Her Holy Web Bot Server, as a show of respect.

Warmest Regards,

Desmond Shang, who now knows the comfort of the Voices on Channel /99 and never needs to log out again

Oh no the Prim of Evil was not so easy to kill... well I've heard there's an empty ocean sim in the middle of the Great Void I'm off to hide at the bottom of it..

The Primeval Cube!!



And the other 6 signs of the coming apocolypse:


Plagues of bugs.

The networks will run red with lag.

FrogBots will rain from the heavens.

Sims will quake with unexpected reboots...

The angel of bans will corrupt the passwords of every first born alt...

There will be a total eclipse of every sim on Wednesday from 7am until noon.

The thought of an evil plywood cube with 91 scripts going off simultaneously made me grin, thanks!

Damn, I just spouted tea all over my keyboard.
I KNEW it was a good idea to get one of them washable ones.....SNORT!!!

All hail the Queen of Evil Prims!

(Almost as funny as getting myself orbited while leaving behind the orbiting object.....had a hell of a time getting someone to give the damn thing back to me while i was happily bouncing around.....and no, relog didnt help)

PrimZilla!!

"It's Alive!!,,,It's Alive!!!! A-Ha hahaha!!,,It's Alive!"

Next it will probably grow to 100 feet tall, and begin Rampaging through the Japanese themed sims Belching radioactive fire.
