With as many participants as <i>EG</i> has, I think it deserves its own program on Treet TV (Second Life's virtual TV network). I can already suggest the perfect host of the program in Constantine Paulino, a high-ranking player who is also a comedian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208009569411456495.post-37886700349583161182009-06-04T23:07:07.183-07:002009-06-04T23:07:07.183-07:00I think you are booth missing the point.

(Labeled as a place to play En Garde or not!)<br /><br />It draws people and the people have fun, chat, interact... nothing even similar to camping chairs, or bots of any kind.<br /><br />En Garde generates real traffic!

If they advertise lots of camping chairs with generous payouts, then it's not fraudulent. But it <B>is</B> unsightly, and it harms the appearance Second Life presents to people.<br /><br />My point is, while the Lindens are using traffic as an excuse to clean up camping sites, the real reason they want to get rid of them is the same as for the gambling dens. It just looks bad.Rifkin Habsburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056591970642361189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208009569411456495.post-13037762688376781062009-05-23T08:53:03.934-07:002009-05-23T08:53:03.934-07:00I agree with you that En Garde won't be banned, so...I agree with you that En Garde won't be banned, some will say it's fraudulent traffic but there's nothing fraudulent about someone coming to play En Garde on a parcel advertising En Garde!<br /><br />Traffic bots and camping bots are a scourge, they don't do anything but Jack should have been more careful with his wording. This really should be a common sense issue, running one or two camping chairs does little harm, running 20 is abusive, running 80 bots in the sky is a disgrace.Ciaran Lavalhttp://www.your2ndplace.com/blog/248noreply@blogger.com
