I continue to be in awe of what residents have created. It's really quite nice, from ambitious urban downtown districts on Corsica to lovely seaside towns on Nautlius. Gaeta along Route 8 consists predominantly of marinas and tropical resorts: Tiki and fishbait; you can smell the seawater. The inland routes are like driving through a New England Colonial town.
And then the Scourgemobiles - a representation of everything wrong in our society - mar these landscapes.
It's a sin. It truly is.
There's even more going on: the use of one Arcadia Asylum's vehicles for this among other builders. Way more than one fan of AA's expressed that she would not be happy knowing her builds were used to disrupt the Second Life experiences so many at the whim of one person.
In my travels I've met more supporters and made a couple more friends. If anything good comes from all this, I've already got the icing on the cake.
I haven't ridden those things personally, but from what I've heard maybe I should.
There are two bits I've been told about them: first that they nag for money whenever you unsit from one. Asking for a tip: it is what it is. Either you put a jar in the prefab station or you stop touting it as a free ride. The other is that if you ride in one long enough, it offers the vehicle for sale - more soliciting. They're worse than anyone thought: they're adfarms in motion, solocitation scripts dominating protected land, shoving residents out of their way.
Remember my recent post about Linden Labs having to set rules and make concessions? Remember when new ones are set for automated and unmanned vehicles, and that it won't have been the fault of Linden Labs, Philip, Jack, Blondin, or even the new CEO Rod. The changes and restrictions were the result of one resident's actions.
