The discovery of “slow”

After two days of updating rezboxes, I made a few philosophical experiences:

At first, I finally met a player who obviously gives a damn about what i call the “Barbie & Kenification” in SL.

He created a Diogenes-Avatar, an old man with a lamp and a little cup, with bare feet and a toga. Playing a grumpy old AV myself while being not that old (yes, I know 37 is Methusalem-like with some kids today), I instantly made friends with him and created him a barrel with some sitting pose in it as a home.

The second experience was to witness the timetravel, SL makes possible. While inworld, no more time floats by than you need to produce something from your inv to the ground, in, in RL, time stretches painfully over multiple minutes. Einstein would have gone nuts over this fabululous example for relativity!.

LL was so kind to provide this effect with a device called “asset-server”.

This miraculous device is able to bend time in SL and that way you can drink a comfortable and relaxed cup of coffee while avoiding the usual haste when trying to bring things thro and fro from and to your inventory.

No more stress, because you would have to stick on screen to see what happens at every second. These timebends allow you a far mor relaxed RL while in SL your business slows down that much, you would neither earn money nor be able to work for it as a builder.

Thank you LL.

LL Bank-Ban: My Personal Conspiracy-Theory

Coming back after a weekend and finding that bank-runs are underway because LL has banned banks on short notice 

No need to say that LL has once more managed to place a sensible blow with maximum impact to the economy in SL.

Slowly I get more and more to the idea that LL is nothing more than a Berkeley–macro-economics-lab simulation with some US-government-project that stated the goal to explore how much damage an economy could take.
In this scenario, LL takes the role of an entity, whichs only task is to come up with some “Black-Friday”-staging-incident to see wether this time the whole thing blows or not.
