Since the release of the wiki, my hosting of it, and the failed DMCA. There has been a lot of speculation as to who I am, etc etc. So thanks for the emails, IM’s, PM’s, Notecards and passing voice comments. Here is the most complete list of what I am not:
- A Linden (that would make me Tux Linden, right?)
- A Griefer (they are usually only a few days old)
- A Nazi (I don’t think SL was around during WWII)
- A JLU Member (it is not a ploy to raise awareness)
- A Communist (idk much about politics, really)
- A Policeman (my knowledge of the law is through my solicitor)
- An Eccentric Millionaire (If I was would I be playing this?)
- An FBI spy (We don’t have FBI in my country, and do they spy?)
- An ALT of one of the griefer leaders (nope, Tux is a main account)
- A Reporter (just look at my typos and the way I speak, lol)
- A Psychologist (I assure I am not – XD)
- A Keyboard Warrior (not so, I defended the DMCA claim in RL)
- A Member of a new Linden investigation team (XD)
- A Religious Nut (Although I have spoken about religion, I do try to keep it to myself)
- A Hacker (LOL)
- ‘Thats the one who attacked the JLU and hacked their server, they say he is one of the best in Russia!’ (OMFG, this was on voice, I saw the cams on me and moved my cam to them, I could not believe this – XD)
So thanks for these (I have probably missed some) but they are entertaining all the same!
Peace and Love!
This was one of those should I shouldn’t I moments. Anyways in the past when playing with a Linden I would find myself on the end of a ban – XD.
So as you can imagine, I had little time. I didn’t even get chance to hide the HUDS or UI. So apologies for the roughness, but worth it for the comedy factor.
It is late and I am tired, so I will make this quick – XD.
The following is the latest crazy searches which send people to my blog:
- “Tux Winkler” griefer
- Is Tux Winkler a linden or griefer
- Tux Winkler PN
- SL4 Portal Griefers
- Copybot Tux Winkler
- Tux Content Theft
- tux winkler real life info
- where does tux winkler live
- griefing scripts tux winkler
- disturbed linden
- linux hack script tux winkler
- sl4 portal running linux on windows vista
As you can see, someone really wants to know about me – Awwwww.
But by far the funniest for me is the last one. Someone really doesn’t grasp linux (and I know there are some distros that will install alongside windows, but I choose to ignore them). For me Linux is a replacement for windows! Anyways I am off to bed, got snow to play in in the morning!
As many know, my past is colourful. My knowledge of SL things is quite good. I also monitor my sites enthusiastically.
So following the queries through the search engines I discover this:
So this is how Linden Labs prefers things. Once more I have recieved a not so polite notice from a Linden (who I will not name because I was told off for naming Lotte on this very blog!). This is really crazy, once more an object I have scripted has hit a bug in the Second Life servers. Yes, it is their bug. Not my script!
Is it my fault if the servers do not function as they should? No!
So why do I recieve threats of bans because of this? Who knows, I have even offered to help fix the servers. Which seemed to hit a raw nerve. Now, I am threatened with a ban because a perfect script has found a bug which can teleport people home without land permissions!
You would have thought Linden Labs would be more receptive to help!
And all this gets me threatened with a ban (which would be permenant because I have no more chances, I am told).
Yet the stoopid emo griefers who persistently break TOS, are allowed to continue.
In truth I am so pissed off that I have spent many years creating content for Second Life, whilst trying to stay on the right side of the TOS. I have recieved a few bans in this time for gray areas. But it would seem the Lindens value worthless griefers over someone who has helped shape SL!
Add this to the fact they now are going to start charging people for listing free items on Xstreet. With thier eyes only seeing L$ signs, they fail to remember just who helped them to get there! Do they really think it was them who made SL such a success? Or even the endless n00b accounts that sign up each day (I would guess as many as 90% are alt accounts)? Of course not. Second Life is appealing because content creators make things people want to see. If the Lindens wanted a game more suited to the childish warfare of the griefers they should have made a competitor to World of Warcraft (which the griefers are probably from, being failed gamers).
Is Second Life worth it? I am afraid I now reserve judgement.
(I own approx. 12 sims worth of mainland – 12 x 195$/m = 2340$/m revenue for LL plus the premium accounts I pay)
I have decided to sell all my land. I will evict all tenants and sell my land really cheap. I will no longer pay Linden Labs for services they fail to give!
If I hadn’t put so much into GRPS I would probably withdraw from SL entirely.
