  1. Minecraft is a sandbox game. SL is just a sandbox. Using words as adjectives makes a difference.
  2. A few definitions of "game": a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck. a contest or sport played according to rules with the players in direct opposition to each other. A game is an activity or sport usually involving skill, knowledge, or chance, in which you follow fixed rules and try to win against an opponent or to solve a puzzle a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators. Looks to me like SL does not meet any of those definitions. While SL does have "rules" in the form of the ToS and Community Guidelines, they are not game rules. Post a link to these SL game rules I've never heard of in the 14 years I've been a resident. This one: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Second_Life_Skill_Gaming_Policy doesn't count as those are all rules for playing games within SL, not SL itself. Those rules apply to gambling within SL.
  3. Someone wake me up when BJ can keep her story straight. In the meantime, just avoid her griefing parcel and skip over the trolling thread. 💨
  4. Start here: https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/
  5. Must be why I have one account with under 30k and the others are all under 10k with one or two hovering around the 5 - 6k mark.
  6. I wouldn't take it for granted that the OP isn't being serious. All too often they aren't taken as being serious when they are. I've seen it happen too many times to not leave that 0.01% room for doubt. Not saying you are wrong, just that I always leave at least a tiny bit of room for doubt. Erring on the side of caution, so to speak.
  7. My first encounter with Monty Python was Holy Grail, on the big screen... I thought I was gonna die from laughing so hard. The OP's screen play doesn't sound anything like that. Or did I miss seeing the humor in the OP?
  8. While trolling the trolls can be a fun thing to do, we have no way of knowing what the poster's intent is unless they tell us. Unless someone has suddenly developed the ability to read minds.
  9. Maybe not in your area but it is used widely across the US and not just in literature.
  10. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Snapshot_and_machinima_policy I. for one, wouldn't watch something like what has been described. I see more than enough of that sort of thing in RL without having to see it happen in SL.
  11. That is her MO. I have seen her use it time and time again until ultimately people were beyond fed up and she got herself banned from another forum.
  12. People who insist SL is a video game and not the creative platform it has been for 15 years. It's a creative platform with social capabilities that just happens to contain some games and has been used for game development. Get over yourself.
  13. Yep. And if you scroll down a bit you get to see all the references to "suitcase" and "portmanteau". There's also key grip and dolly grip. Here, allow me.
  14. *coughs* https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/portmanteau https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/portmanteau https://www.dictionary.com/browse/portmanteau
  15. How many times are we gonna have to go down this road? LL did this before and it did NOT work well. It was a huge failure, especially for those who do NOT live in the US.
  16. That's why I tend to move away from the LP a bit and wait for things to rez enough that I can "see where I am going". And sometimes I get lazy and use the DD stepping feature in FS. Gah. Now I"m gonna have to go look up what it's currently being called... Oh yeah. Progressive Draw Distance https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_progressive_draw_distance
  17. I could have sworn I made the effort to type the 9. Pinky: What are we going to do tonight, Brain? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Take over the world. You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results? Yeah. That.
