Drama

In the past week I've been running with a herd of Drama Llamas in SL, though not by choice. It was really like multiple herds, however, as no two llamas (I don't think they know each other, either) were talking to me about the same topic. I heard about everything – and I'm going to be vague and evasive here – nearly every day via IMs, direct Profile messages, note cards, blog comments, MySL comments, and more sources. Let me summarize what I heard ...

*gasp* Drama!

Sorry. No theater degree here so I don't do drama. I'm more of a light-comedy kinda girl. Sci-fi along the lines of Firefly and Star Trek – nothing serious – and watching classic Perry Mason episodes is as close as I get to drama.

jrenslow Bach, Charter Member and (IMHO) Jerk

I just got word from a friend that jrenslow Bach is buying land in/around Minna and making a mess of the landscaping thus making it a miserable place for long term residents to live, work, and play. Readers of this blog may recognize him as one of SL's worst merchants (Web). Apparently he's also carrying out a campaign to further annoy with bans and other activities.

No idea what I can do about it, but I'm gonna look around. Kennylex Luckless has posted a pic on My SL (here) showing some of the activity. Looks like this historic area in Second Life is in for some rough times, I guess.

Children in SL

Honestly, I think most so-called drama in Second Life® is brought on by children who have snuck into the adults-only side of the service. Not just children in the chronological sense, but also children in the I-behave-like-I'm-4-years-old sense.

Here is the scenario: Some 100 meters from where I was standing, minding my own business, a resident was being a nuisance and was ejected from the region. Said individual then began to harass the ejector and thus was banned. So here is where I come in ...

Out of the blue, I received an IM asking why this other person was banned (don't ask how I knew, but I was aware that the IMer was an alt of the offender), making me wonder why they contacted me. I was not wearing my security group tag, though if someone was really diligent they might have found out that I have the Security Chief title despite someone else really having that job. So, maybe it was a fair cop (pun intended) to contact me.

Mind you, at this point I knew of the incident peripherally at best, but despite that, the offender's alt began to harass me because I would not clear the ban. They did not ask to discuss the issue or to plead their side. And they were in contact with my boss, the real head of security with much the same conversation going on at the same time. From what I found out later, the initial ejection and ban were valid based on the region's rules, but the resident's subsequent actions would have earned a ban anyway and eventually earned official Abuse Reports from several individuals.

What kind of abuse? Apparently the resident makes vendor systems (though thier profiles were very vague as to which ones so I can't imagine they have much business) and promised to program into all the vendor server software the avatar keys of all the region's staffers so that no in-world vendor would sell things to them nor would the vendors work on any region owned or operated by the owner of the region from which the offender was ejected. They also made vague threats about some sort of action on XStreet, but I guess all the contempt was lost in the rabid froth so I didn't understand most of it. Lastly, the resident threatened another region with similar actions, not aware that I have never even visited that region. ::shock:: Could this person be banned there, too?!?

Do you see the childishness? I mean, aside from trying to hurt people not involved in the situation, such as other staffers not even present and the merchants who would lose business from the loss of sales. A more mature person would probably have thought through their actions and realize that their vendor clients will be contact them about why transactions are failing.
