Perrie Juran Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It had be a while since I had flexed my Super Hero Powers in SL. Most of my time in SL I spend disguised as a mere Earthling trying hard not to call attention to my Alien Presence.So donning my Super Hero Avatar this weekend I decided to test my imperviousness on the Mainland Roads. I thought what better way to do this by than seeing if I could stand my ground against some of the vehicles on the road. My first encounter was with a car. Success was mine! So I decided to move on to something bigger. Next a truck. Again success was mine, stopping the truck in its tracks. I was beginning to really feel my Wheaties! Continuing down the road I spot a Tank! I'm in heaven.....a real test of my Super Powers. I steel my nerves as the Tank approaches. Then the collision with the Tank Success once more! Having stopped the Tank in its path i am still unscathed so I continue down the road seeking a bigger challenge. When all of the sudden I encounter the unexpected. A pothole in the Mainland Roads!

Darren Scorpio Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 *Laughs* Good job Perrie, it is nice to know there's always a super hero out there watching out for us, and probably the potholes are there to make some of us feel at home, haha.

Echo Hermit Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 :smileylol: Oooooooh, Perrie, (/me is wiping tears of laughter from my eyes RL). Good job it never rains on them there Linden roads, or you'd have been drowned too in that great pothole. :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHere I live we are so proud of our bad roads we put up signs to make sure poeple notice them. Big Yellow Substandard Roadway signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Perrie, aren't those potholes the result of slipshod marksmanship with that dodgy Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator of yours? Hoisted (sunk?) by your own petard! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoisted (sunk?) by your own petard! ;-) Well, I had held back one picture.....the true reason for my being at that location. I had been assigned the task of determining the origin of these Saucers. They are not Martian. We had been detecting widening cracks at SIM Crossings and believe these Griefers from another World have been causing them. We think they are trying to make the grid fall apart. It was actually into one of these cracks at a SIM Crossing into which I had fallen. I was afraid I would cause a panic if I had posted it but have decided that all the Residents of Second Life have a right to know. Do you think that maybe I should file a support ticket to get this Crack fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeclaw Denfu Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 There are hundreds of these 'potholes' across the grid. A strange one is here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Barcola/3/13/28 When you walk onto the bridge into the North Channel sim, you sink through the concrete immediately behind the sim border. However, it is impossible to go back the same way up, you have to wind your way out sideways from under the bridge. Fly up and land at the same point where you sunk in and the surface is now solid. Walk back onto the Barcola side - And down you go. Again, you have to wind your way out sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Hermit Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I may have found a cause for all those potholes. They've been problematic for a while. What started as a normal Sunday afternoon bike ride ... ..... ended up as something else entirely, when my friend became victim to one of those potholes too ... And then, thinking back some more, I wonder if the cause for all this road damage couldn't just be because of the sheer destruction caused by the weight of those darn Giant Snails that every year have a cross country Relay for Life race !

Aaron225 Halostar Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well to avoid potholes - lok for a warning that says, "The region you have entered is not governed by the D.O.T. and needed road repairs have not been made" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk back onto the Barcola side - And down you go. Again, you have to wind your way out sideways. I looked at it. The problem is a sloppy build that doesn't take the region handover time into account. When a structure is used across regions, you should put a prim on each side that crosses into the other region. I usually make them invisible and embed them in the bridge/walkway. The server for the region you're on knows about the prim that's going into the other region and keeps you on it while the region handover occurs.

AnnMarie Otoole Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 When you find a pothole please file a trouble ticket. The SLDPW will usually repair them within 24 hours. I've filed over 1,000 tickets on road and relatead problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Dilweg Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Lol Thats just too funny. Maybe someday we will see (pathfinding) road workers, fixing the potholes on a regualr basis (your tax dollars at work!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeclaw Denfu Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Sounds like a good success rate. I fell into quite a number of these potholes, I'll start reporting them as well. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reopened with additional info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
