Second Life: Mom freaks out after Gentleman teleports into her daughters house

In SL, I worked for a business that sold weapons I designed, for use in combat arenas. Very frequently I'd get one of those musclebound overly tattooed customers walking in with their wife to their left and RP 8 year old child to their right. They'd talk to the kid as if it was their actual child, even though it was a grown adult (since at the time, children were not allowed into the adult sections of SL).

Naturally, as both the content creator and a customer service rep, I would never say anything. They would ask to buy a gun to "protect their home." As someone not in SL to roleplay, it was a bit strange.

See, the way SL works is, no one can affect your character unless you give express permission, either by being in a combat area or by attaching something that allows them to take control of your position or animations.

Got a good story about this "SL is real life" mentality.

  • When I was new to SL, a couple of guys walked up to me when I was creating a gun model, using the ingame modelling system. They looked like this. The colloquial term used for these types of people is "blingtard," due to all of their flashing diamonds. They immediately pulled guns and threatened to kill me if I didn't surrender the gun I was working on. I literally just laughed at them and kept working.

  • They kept shooting til their guns ran out of ammo. Damage was off. When they stopped shooting, I looked up at them, and said, "Congratulations, boys. Either you're shooting blanks, or you're the world's worst shots. Maybe both." They went ballistic, screaming at me in voice, calling me a nigger hater. They were really just a couple of white guys pretending to be black, thought I'd just give them something if they RP mugged me. The owner of the land I was on just walked up behind them, laughed at them, called them racist small-dicked children, then banned them both from his property...

  • ... then proceeded to add them to a shared banlist called BanLink, which got them banned from their gangsta RP sims. They IM'd me begging me to convince Fermi to remove them. Told them to show me proof that they're actually adults or fuck off, to which they shut up. Because at the time, children were not allowed on SL at all.
