Grey Wolves are terrorists, Turkish Wolves are humanitarian association saving lives after natural cataclisms, "... wolves" is a group of fantasy roleplay in secondlife, they roleplay vampires and lycans and also the ottoman empire in around 1500. - (now i guess is useless to start a talk about how much Al Quaeda would love to be online playing as lycans and warewolves and vampires... hahah) - this association i speak about was also made by "those are muslims" reason, therefore i call it racism. i am orthodox, many europeans are in that group and mine, orthodox, catholics, muslims, pagans, atheists - we all try to have fun, all are accepted and accepting each other. all of us filed so so so many tickets to lindenlab with no official answer yet. so here are some points i thought about: - when i have an intersim action roleplay and i know that person will be there, i prefer not to go and stop my group to do so. this results in less business relationships between sim owners, less traffic which means less sales etc... - how can a person be so fee to accuse such serious matters on people like him... i have to put a quote here: "Let`s leave the pedophiles and secret bestalists alone under one condition: that other players can hunt them down and put virtual bullets into their virtual brains. OH…but that’d be offensive, wouldn’t it?" - how come such person finds adepts that follow blindly without any proof... isn`t it a fault of society...? there`s much more to be said... i would like to share thoughts with you guys... web designer, in my oppinion you are absolutely right.
2 things i want to say:
- my group in secondlife was associated with another group in secondlife, last group using the word “wolves” in their titles. some person (who i really consider close to a terrorist because it ruins businesses and friendships between sims and sim owners, leading to a lower cash-flow overall) accused the “… wolves” group of being sam ehting as Grey Wolves terrorist organization in RL. somehting that we all should know is that mongols, turks, asian and european nations will call them selves “wolves” because is in their legends as they are born from wolf and deer for example. Grey Wolves are terrorists, Turkish Wolves are humanitarian association saving lives after natural cataclisms, “… wolves” is a group of fantasy roleplay in secondlife, they roleplay vampires and lycans and also the ottoman empire in around 1500. – (now i guess is useless to start a talk about how much Al Quaeda would love to be online playing as lycans and warewolves and vampires… hahah)

Well, if terrorists are "training" by fighting in SL, I'd say - let them go at it. Hopefully when they reach "real life" they'll try the same sort of stuff as in SL. "What? I can't really fly?"

Good call on reporting this though. I think one of the things we've got to watch out for is the attacks on Internet services from government and traditional media. These usually come under the guise of the scaremongering topic-du-jour, be it pedophilia (with DOPA) or - in this case - terrorism. Not that those aren't important topics, but they're both used as covers for all kinds of hidden agendas. News Corp in scaremongering crap-merchants shocker!

Not for the morbid aspects but educational and news reporting options, ok you sick fucks can enjoy it as well. While CNN can show you pretty 3D maps in between looping the same scene over and over again why not make it interactive. Law enforcement and other schools could also participate to learn from the experience and analyze it further. Would you also consider this tool for terrorists to plan a similar attack?
