People on SL do not like it when a talking ham plays "Pokemon cards" with them, i.e. trapping them in pokeballs and spamming "GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL!"

I got kicked out of someone's house, and got teleported to a poetry party.



I put on my ham costume and read them this on voice chat-

There once was a vampire called Mabel
Who's menstrual cycle was stable
One weekend in four
She'd sit on the floor
And drink herself under the table.

They all muted me and threw balls at me until I couldn't control my character anymore. Some spider showed up and started reading dirty poems, too.

For some reason this ham is particularly amusing.

On another note, me and Baofu Shan had a romp in FurNation yesterday, where a 'savvy' furry was combatting us the only way his primitive mind could conceive; building a big Raid can. So, we decided to sit on the can.



He shot us up into the stratosphere with some poo poo but I just fell back down and went about my business, skittering going 'HHHSSSHSHSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!' (baofu's idea)

Back around '96 or so, the only decent game on the Macs at school was Bolo. In my 'computer repair' class, a good number of us would set up a lan game. There were no mandatory teams, you could ally with whoever, and you could break those allies if you wanted to.

There were an incredible number of ways to grief other players in this game. If you were allied with someone and broke the alliance, the pillboxes that you placed stayed yours and vice-versa. Allied pills wouldn't attack you, so you could destroy all your allied pills and replace them (thus making them yours), then break the alliance. The allied player is left with nothing and a whole bunch of angry pills. This works especially well if the game was set to not give you full ammo when you respawned -- they would never be able to take a base and are basically out of the game.

The game had a builder called the LGM (little green man). When you wanted to place a wall or a pillbox, he would run out of the tank and drop it. If you were really skilled, you could either attack and kill the builder (which a new one would parachute in in a few minutes), or you could trap them. The builders ran to and from in a straight line, so if the player happened to move behind a wall, you could trap your own builder. This makes it really easy to take them out or trap. You could build a wall right on top of the builder and they'd be stuck in the wall. If the player wants to free their builder, they have to kill them. I'd wait until I found someone's builder running like an idiot against a wall, trap them with several walls of my own and bait a single entry point for the builder's tank to follow.. then sneak behind and trap the tank in there too. If the tank was out of ammo or ran out of ammo trying to escape (only had enough shells to destroy 10 blocks), they were trapped in there as well. Other players would drive by and taunt the monkey in the cage until they just quit and forfeited.

If you ever spawned on water, you would be given a boat. You could also build a boat and drive it around. Some maps would only ever spawn you on the water. I would spend my entire time running around shooting other players as they spawned in deep water, causing their boat to sink and they drown. If they weren't in deep water, they just get a massive slowdown and lose all their ammo, mines, and trees.

I loving loved Ultima Online just for the griefing.

Two things I can remember off the top of my head:

1. A friend and I would go to the bank area of the capital city (I think it was called Britannia, but that could be the name of the continent), and then set up a teleport service. We would get people to give us small amounts of money, and in return we would open up a portal going to where they wanted to go. The kicker, of course, is that instead of going to a town or where ever, we would open the portal into the middle of a desert filled with really high level NPCs that would be sure to swarm and kill you. And then you're lost too because you have no idea where you are.

2. Same thing, but with a boat. Then my friend and I would log out, and when the owner of the boat logs (although I think they patched this) the boat would keep going on its course, but anyone on it couldn't ride it anymore. The result is that some random person would then be stuck in the middle of the ocean. But you didn't drown, like you do in WoW, you just sit there, unable to swim, while sea monsters converge on you and kill you. Since you couldn't recover your corpse you usually lost all your stuff too.

The opportunities for just stealing poo poo from people were endless too. I loved taunting random people on mounts until they chased me to kill me, ran into my friend's house, had my friend kick out the guy with a text command (the owner could do a bunch of nifty poo poo), leaving the mount. Then my friend locks the door and blocks access to the guy so he can't get in, and laugh at him while I re-tame the mount and teleport it off to the bank area to sell it.

Right here we are. Hopefully someone has better shots because I was still loading assets while the action was going on.

This is from a little practice grief. Earlier while exploring, I stumbled across a Gorean area. My mere presence got a fair bit of attention, so I and two other goons returned to see what would happen. Bear in mind we did nothing, and only started firing penises at people and talking to them when they started getting hostile towards us.

It's one of the many, many banwords that will get you kicked from the main parcel of what for a period of time. The reason that one does so is one word on the list is <lolol, which means anything ending in 'lolol' triggers it; in this case, 10101 is interpreted as a dodge for lolol.

There was one a while back in Baku about getting a "free uboat" and having to say 'i want a u boat' or something like that; naturally, the use of 'u' with spaces around it fires off a ban. poo poo like that is moderately funny, much like the lolcouch/lolchair that distorts your avatar when you sit on it. (Or in the case of the current theme, a lolbox.)

Okay, I still don't know how to play, but I messed around a bit earlier in my spider guy, and I threw some pokeballs and caught people and stuff. I, er, didn't actually say anything while doing so, and no one actually told me to stop or leave them alone or whatever, for some reason.

And then I logged out because I got bored, and sometime between then and now, I get this "notecard" (is that like an IM or something?):

I unerstand you had fun with my sim, causing some havoc, and that is fine. However, I sent an incident report to Linden Labs along with your your isp and your ip address.

They have been tremendously sucessfull in finding out all the alt's that are involved and typically give you a warning and some suspension for all your alts.

However, should this be a second occassion that a Sim Owner complained then they typically cancel yur account totally.

It is my limited understanding that their data bas contains all the slexchange, sl, credit card and real name data that is matched to ensure they have the right individual

Good luck and have fun, but try not to cause any further discourse. It is funny to some folks but most of them compalined bitterly.

I'm pretty sure the guy is just trying to scare him, look at all the mistakes in spelling and word choice.

He seems to think it was an alt of someone with a paid account, he mentions a credit card number. He wants the recipient to think that all his other accounts will be lost, except in this case that's not much of a threat.
