Hey, I actually saw Brenda at her store tonight. She's real! I mean, as real you can get in this venue. And Clover and Rhonda. And Malia too.

I don't see people often except at big parties, so sometimes I think they're mythical or something. Maybe that's because I never do much of anything except go to big parties.
Yay! I'm real! (happydance)

(but actually...it's a pretty clever costume. :p)
Agreed!

I remember seeing this pic some years back (you can tell it's a while ago by the size of the cell phone), but it's definitely still good for a giggle!

We just had an AR party at a casino that apparently opened up in the NW corner of Allana, up around 500m -- there were at least 7 object owners that I found and ARd for:

- gambling
- camping
- unfair use of region resources
- excessive scripted objects

We wanted to AR for the tacky decorating, but could not find a category that fit

Anyway, with that many ARs from so many, maybe LL will notice as we are pretty sure that is having a major impact on the lag at the hangout.
So tell me how this is different from being a vigilante. How would you feel if the casino owners turned up at the hangout and started throwing ARs around for nudity and lewd behaviour.

Im still waiting for mine. How long did you wait?


I don't remember when I asked for it, Rio. In any case, it only came yesterday. I think Jumpy posted a thread saying he got his maybe a month ago?

I wasn't there, but it sounds like the casino was in the Hangout's neighborhood, causing lag.

So it it would be different from going *looking* for casino operators to AR because this particular one was causing us a direct problem.

If its OK to issue ARs for causing lag the vigilantes are going to be very busy.

This place was directly effecting the lag at the hangout with all their bots. It's not like anyone went looking for them to start trouble. They have been there for months now.


Morning threadies!

I was at the Hangout the other day chatting to Kelli when the sim just went down with no notice at all - the first time it has ever happened to me there.

Pep (but Cato may have a point that maybe someone should take up for a Friday question: When is it vigilanteism to AR, and when is it a reasonable response to anti-social behaviour?)

PS Strictly, vigilantes take the law into their own hands; whistle-blowers would be a better description.

I'm not sure I want to wait til tomorrow, so I'll go ahead and answer this question now:

I would say the point is when whatever the AR'able behavior in question is has begun disrupting, or immediately threatens to disrupt, my user experience rather than simply offending my sensibilities.

In the casino example, I have nothing against gambling and suchlike and so forth; but the place's activities had lagged the sim to unusability. The place was up at maybe 350m, and when we decided to AR it, it took my about 4 minutes to fly up to it. Say what you want about occasional or even expected lag, but that's way too much for a mainland sim.

I would say that, being a child avatar, I have more of an incentive to AR things like sexual ageplay when I see them; because peoples' reactions to seeing that sort of thing happening tend to threaten me directly and cause damage to my reputation whether I ever met the "caught" participants or not. Witness Ciera's meltdown of a couple of days ago and her nonsensical "crusade" to destroy avatar-childhood.

good morning, Threadies!



And that's turkey bacon, by the way.

Now...that cup looks as if it might be tea, so..

I didn't want to derail this thread (if such a thing was possible :D ) with my question, but thanks for your personal view.

Pep (Might I ask if anyone had approached the Casino owners, about scalling down their operations so that they weren't so anti-social, *before* the AR lynch mob gathered?)

Have you ever been given some really good news that took a big weight off your mind, only to find something worse to weigh it back down again?
I've just gone from being really happy and excited, to pretty depressed within about 10 minutes.

I'm never opening the post again.


/me goes to try and distract herself with cleaning.

Morning Threadies- well we made it thru another night, but Armageddon must be at the door just from seeing the pestilence that is rampant outside... Not that we can keep the Horsemen forever out but at least for now we can hide from the Apocalypse in here.

Mo- that's some disreputable looking bacon...

Good morning everyone!

Claire - I'm sorry you got more bad news. :( Things will look up again before long. *big hugs*

Boy the AR thing was something last night! I didn't participate, but I did follow it on group chat. :)

I was too busy 7seas fishing at Alien Isles, trying to get their custom rares. And introducing Mo to the addiction. :D

Me reaches for the bacon than stops...blech....I'll just have some coffee.

I was watching a show on the Travel Channel the other night, all about the wonders of deep fried food. One of the places made Chicken Fried Bacon! :cool:
