72 virgins in Second Life?! Crap!
August 22, 2007 8:42 am
Apparently, representatives from The Religion Of Peace are spending time in Second Life training for what the New York Times and Guardian lovingly call “resistance operations” and “insurgency” and “freedom fighting” and that kind of malarkey.
The word is terrorism. Say it.
Anyway, my partner Tamara pointed out on Twitter: “Good luck finding 72 virgins in SL.”
Crap Mariner points out the limits of terrorist training in Second Life. An awesome read - if you ignore his Das Waffenamt fascination. :p
Some other drawbacks:
- Lousy support for Arabic Languages when naming notecards, objects, … .
- Smugling explosives in is hard as you can’t drive pass a sim border. Same with airplanes dropping to the ground when passing those borders before they reach target.
- You’re bound to find your recruits frequenting the stripclubs more often then the classes.
- Fertilizer can only be found at Svarga.
- Guns are all no-transfer.
- Ruthed terrorists just aren’t taken seriously.
- It is very easy to prevent people from building walls on land they do not own.
- Nothing can really top flying penises attacking Anshe.
