Sick of watching his beloved Second Life go down the proverbial toilet, long time player Marshal Cahill decided to to take matters into his own hands. Proving that people are just as bonkers online as they are in real life, he decided to set off "nukes" near two in-game corporate stores, American Apparel and Reebok in a bid to gain attention from Second Life creators, Linden Labs.
Cahill, the self proclaimed political officer of the newly formed Second Life Liberation Army, wants Linden Labs to give his army an opportunity to control their environment through voting. It's a bit unclear whether he wants this voting authority to be granted to his army only, or all of SL's denizens, but either way, I suppose it was just a matter of time before this sort of "political unrest" made it's way into the online community.
Seems like an awfully long way to go to protect the integrity of a game that has dubious uses in the first place, but I have ceased trying to understand Second Life and it's bizarre ways a while back. Although, one commenter on The Last Boss' article on the subject managed to encompass my feelings on the situation:
I just have no desire to play this "game" unless it turns into some war torn wasteland, like Escape from NY or some such nonsense... That'd be awesome.
