Griefing

Griefer - grief·er

Noun

A griefer is a slang term used to describe a player in a multiplayer video game who plays the game simply to cause grief to other players through harassment. Griefing is a malignant form of emergent gameplay.

What is a Griefer

Griefers, are really people that are generally out to have fun by refusing to play the game as it was designed and having fun the expense of others, now that is not true of all griefers, some have political agendas. I am not going to answer if it is right or wrong or the agendas are real, or correct, that is not the point of this article. Based on my observation there are several types of griefers that come to the sandbox, below is my description of them. These are very generalized observations.

Building Hint: Quick Align a Prim

This is from one of the Fermi University instructors, it is also posted on the fermidesigns.com web site.

For those who still having trouble to align a prim, it’s this weeks tip :)
1. Edit the prim (be sure Use Grid is selected as option)
2. Press your CTRL key
3. Click and hold the button on one of the axiles (red, green or blue circle)
4. Drag your cursor while still holding the mousebutton to the outer circle (with Up, Down, South and North on it)
5. As you notice the prim quickly aligns using the grid

I have attached an image allowing you to see these steps.

~ Happy Building ~

Grand Orrey of Caledon

This amazing build was in the sandbox today, and it is amazing to see in motion! I had a brief time to talk to Maklin Deckard today while he was packaging this up. The gears are all sculpties, and all mesh, the planets rotate at proportional speeds to each other. It is simply amazing to see in motion. There are pictures on the Fermi Designs web site. Once there if you mouse over the sandbox menu you will see cool builds, click on that for pictures.



The Sojourner has died this morning of cardiac arrest

Was the message on my IM from VirtualVictoria Vale, such a sad sight when you see words like that. I'm really at a loss of what to say, she always had time for me, answered my questions, we use her tutorials in fermi sandbox. She will be hugely missed by many, but by none more than her loved ones in RL.

Pleae visit the memorial on her sim Dreams http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dreams%20Events/151/76/25, donate waht you can and keep her sandbox open.

Building in SL Just Changed! New Mega Prims

Today Day Oh released new mega prims. These are not the cut and hacked ones, they are newly created! The first set the .5 series is perfect for those parcel sized builds like in Fermi Sandbox. They are free, and over 2000 in the first box are available here http://slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=685589

This is huge, and was first reported by Lillie Yifu.



Fermi Sandbox has moved!

We moved to our recently donated sim! It has been a hectic week with my RL work taking up about 60 hours, and my partner in the middle of an RL move and offline. But it is open, with shops, and ready for business. There is of course work to be done to finish it up, but that can happen at any time. I want to thank all the sandbox managers, and everyone else who has donated, helped, and everything else. I will post a bit more this weekend.
