OK, I know this post might be contentious but I'd rather not get into the moral aspects of it. Suffice to say, after more than 3 years of being on SL, I am considering, for the first ever time, buying some weapons to defend myself. I don't own land so pretty much depend on sandboxes to build. Over this time, I've been personally attacked by somebody with a scripted weapon approximately once a fortnight. More commonly, I've had to leave due to disruption or malicious scripts crashing the place or rendering it unusable. My BS tolerance level has, frankly, reached its limit. So, I'm wondering - if I want to hit back, can anyone recommend what weapons to get? I've searched MP but there's so many guns and HUDs on there it can be confusing to know what to get. For my purposes what I'd like (and what I've seen others use on SL) would be: a) something that when worn and if I run into the avatar, sends them flying across the sim (for people deliberately rezzing stuff around me or top on me when I'm building) b) whatever it is that shoots flashing lights all over the viewer until it grinds to a total halt (this seems the most effective way of stopping someone in their tracks) Any advice on brands/makes would be appreciated. And for anybody tutting at this, to conclude - I am not a griefer, I want some sort of defence against griefers. And please don't tell me to just sit on an object or go elsewhere - I have no income on SL so depend on public sandboxes, and why should I constantly be the one to leave?
