So, being so busy I welcomed any excuse to take a break.
An event was perfect. Open Mic Poetry. So I went along. As did Chapel (aka Dirtface), you cannot miss him, looking like the grim fandango, a scary tic-tac or a man with a fridge on his head, he wanders round making people smile.
Seriously, full of humour, he is often mistaken for a griefer. Although this is yet to be seen. I took a spur of the moment recording, I hope you enjoy!
Ok, I know, its Monday. I have (and still do) the worst migraine. I was repairing an old laptop, I think the crappy screen took its toll on my poor eyes – XD. Anyways, have a listen to my belated Sunday Music Special – My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the black parade.

Wow, time runs away with me lately and before I notice I have missed loads. So I figured I would tell you whats been going on:
GRPS – Generic Role Play – As requested I have been rewriting to change the meters, within the game. At present the working of a random seed is to be included, for example: Your character is a street thug in a cyberpunk era. You go to mug someone. Would you get all their money? Not always, they may have hidden some in their sock. So the random seed factor creeps in. Also, the new version is trailing more server side calculations to prevent cheating. This will enable us to distribute weapons/addon scripts easier too. So unfortunately GRPS will stay in alpha, but I am allowing extra testers so those of you who applied for the beta will be bought on in alpha – YAY.
DISTURBED – Removed the big shop. Created a weapons shop and a photo studio. There is also a woodland and cave. Its crazy the number of times I change it, I know. But although a few people are not so happy at losing the clothing, I feel it isn’t justifying itself.
FLEXLIFE – Ok, here is the thing, LL release 3PVP statingthe viewer cannot have life in it. Great, thanks. So currently changes are being implemented to become a new name:
Luna
I actually think this is a good thing. A very dear person says ‘A change is as good as a move!’. So, despite the pain in the preverbial, rebranding goes on. Fred works his nuts off, and should slow down a little. But he wont – XD. Still excited about the new name and release. I am going to start on the Lua/Luna wiki. So finding out commands is as simple as using the wiki. The support ticket is going up too. As is the website. The features are massive with Lua. Watch the official blog (when its up fully):
So thats it, up to date. Sorry for missing so much. Here are a few of your questions answered:
Q. Hey dude, you been arrested or something?
A. Nope, still here =)
Q. The JLU got you banned?
A. Nope, still here =)
Q. Why no posts? Is something wrong?
A. Nope, still here =)
Q. Do you have an answer to the question?
A. 42.
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!
Before I start, I would just like to say thanks to Kalel for showing me the truth. I normally place a more tag into my blog, but this one will be in full. Comment if you like.
Ok, so there I was in Sandbox Island (NO COMBAT), I was in IM and minding my own business (tbh, I am having work done on my exchange and have a really bad connection atm). When all of a sudden I had an alert from my QHUD:
[20:31:31] quantum core: 2010-02-05 04:31:50 : Kalel Venkman USED PHYSICAL SCRIPTED blaster ball in Sandbox Island
Of course the name rang a bell. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? No it was just another avatar breaking the rules by using weapons on Sandbox Island. Of course, I followed the correct procedure and filed an Abuse Report:
That done, I then proceeded to IM Kalel and tell him/her not to shoot me. Here is the chat log:
– Instant message logging enabled –[20:35:36] Tux Winkler: Do not shoot at me[20:36:07] Kalel Venkman: The utility is a little less controllable than I thought.[20:36:25] Tux Winkler: your weapon? why call it utility?[20:36:51] Kalel Venkman: It’s not intended for use on people – it’s intended to push physical objects off the sim.[20:37:18] Tux Winkler: you of all people should know not to fire a weapon on SI[20:38:27] Kalel Venkman: It was an unintentional effect.[20:40:36] Tux Winkler: it is still assult, if anyone else had so much as rezzed a popgun they would have recieved an AR if seen by the JLU[20:44:32] Tux Winkler: I am guessing your presence here was to report the unscripted prim litter of the sand box, and the beams of light, but especially the JLU fanart that hovers in the sky. I also guess, the usual prcess of JLU will take turns in coming and reporting. Will they also attempt to shoot at me?[20:45:43] Kalel Venkman: Primarily the heavy prim litter. The fan art doesn’t concern us, as the web site it points to is being destroyed by British authorities as we speak.[20:46:16] Tux Winkler: really?[20:46:31] Kalel Venkman: Yeah, I have to say, I agree with you on the litter blasters – very random. I probably shouldn’t be using them.[20:47:03] Kalel Venkman: Um, yeah.[20:47:17] Kalel Venkman: The Brits are very sympathetic.[20:47:50] Tux Winkler: Superman has power in the UK also?[20:47:56] Kalel Venkman: Uh huh.[20:48:01] Kalel Venkman: And lots of other places.[20:48:17] Tux Winkler: *ooc: you are role playing right?[20:48:42] Kalel Venkman: Um – no, I’m not – I’m having web sites removed in various countries.[20:49:38] Tux Winkler: Right, and please explain how you have arrange for the British Authorities to destroy my server?[20:49:56] Kalel Venkman: Very simple.[20:49:59] Kalel Venkman: I said please.[20:50:00] Kalel Venkman: Ah, so it’s yours.[20:50:11] Kalel Venkman: You’ll have to look up the rest.[20:50:20] Tux Winkler: Will the secret service raid my datacentre and plant c4 under it?[20:50:39] Kalel Venkman: I think you should probably read up on United Kingdom copyright law.[20:50:49] Kalel Venkman: You happen to be in gross violation of it.[20:51:04] Kalel Venkman: Assuming that’s actually you.[20:51:07] Tux Winkler: no, I do not, I have broke no law =)[20:51:27] Kalel Venkman: Yup. You have some reading to do, all right.[20:51:34] Kalel Venkman: Have a good evening.[20:52:10] Tux Winkler: BTW, I will not remove a customers data, and I will contest your copyright claim.[20:52:39] Kalel Venkman: Good luck with that.[20:52:44] Kalel Venkman: It’s being removed anyway.[20:53:03] Kalel Venkman: You don’t get a vote here.[20:53:35] Tux Winkler: Ok, when the request comes in, it will be reviewed as does every other allegation.[20:53:39] Tux Winkler: a vote?[20:53:50] Kalel Venkman: That’s right – the takedown is mandatory.[20:54:03] Kalel Venkman: You really REALLY need to read up on the laws that affect you.[20:54:16] Kalel Venkman: I’m really surprised you don’t know this stuff if you’re in business doing it.[20:55:22] Tux Winkler: No, at worst I can recieve a request to freeze on the subdomain, then I will contest. The ball is in your court to prove you have IP on the superhero stuff and the chat logs of others. XD[20:56:06] Kalel Venkman: To contest, you have to prove you own the material instead of me. That’s the only valid terms for contesting the takedown.[20:56:10] Kalel Venkman: Which you won’t be able to do.[20:56:31] Kalel Venkman: Have a good one.[20:56:42] Tux Winkler: No I dont, you have to prove you own it in order to force my hand, which will be impossible. In the US a takedown may be used to prevent the truth. But in the UK you have to prove you own the material and have a right to demand a takedown. One look at your log will prove you don’t – XD[20:59:51] Tux Winkler: Muted yet?
Ironically I was quite enjoying this little chat. I am now thoroughly conviced these threats have nothing to do with copyright, but it is a method of speedy removal.
So the moral of this story is this:
‘If you find yourself on Sandbox Island, do not draw a weapon unless you wear you panties on the outside and role play a comic character!’
I request that all readers AR every member of the JLU when seen in PG sims for indecent exposure, because they are displaying their underwear (thanks DB).
Oh the fan art:
I didn’t bother looking who made it, because I was laughing to much. I hope to see these popping up all over – XD
Finally, I would like to say this. I do not really know the whole story about this wiki, and I haven’t the time to read it. So why am I involved I hear you ask? Well simply because I have been attacked and threatened in SL and RL. But the difference is, with me, its water off a ducks back. I have had a stalker for ever who’s common tactic is defamation and threats. So a few cartoon hero’s do not really bother me. Be warned though Kalel, this unhealthy behaviour is bordering on obsession. Refocus and gain some dignity.
I have included a video I found of you when you were happier – check yourself!
