I think, if you get really busy in SL, that sometimes you forget how much absolute, sheer fun it can be, sometimes.
I had this brought home to me on Friday 3rd October, when I got up to lots of mischief - my very first griefing episode! I've never griefed anything before, and suspect I might never do it again, and I'm sure anyone silly enough to read this would realise I'm not a supporter of griefing at all.
I've never thought it would be much fun, really, to trash someone's else's place, and I was most upset myself a couple of months back when I arrived on my sim to discover someone had carelessly left 365 nuclear weapons belching smoke and looking ominous in the air above my house. How rude, I thought.
However, that was before the formation of the Pumpkin Avengers.
Well, not really. Griefing is completely unacceptable. Having a bit of fun, however, is OK, where respect and a sense of humour are involved. Now, my beloved SL boss, the fabulous Miss Maggie Mahoney, is busy Building Something. I'm not at liberty to say what - though I'm sure I'll be skiting like mad soon.
And so, Vera CAnning and EmmZ Tzara, who were busy Inspecting the Area Not to be Discussed, sent me a TP and mentioned that they were up to unspeakable mischief. Naturally I broke all land-speed records to be in on the fun.
Vera, EmmZ and I have been working for RUNWAY since the beginning. We're a bit of a tight team and it did seem to me that should Mischief be called for, I couldn't be in better company.
The Area not to be Discussed was, in our humble opinion, looking a bit bland in its unfinished state and a desperate desire to cover it completely in Pumpkins was born. So we did. LOL. And the odd ghost, a fence or two with skulls as well. Then of course we had the bright idea that we'd better take a photo, wearing sunglasses to conceal our identity.
Thus the Pumpkin Avengers were born.
However, it has to be said, Maggie had the last word. Our disguise clearly wasn't as effective as we thought.
Thinking how lovely it was to receive a gift from my boss, I was silly enough to click on it.
I've never had the experience of having my head flip upside and my neck stretch a metre, before. EmmZ and Vera tell me they were also Double-Griefed, so we'd have to say "Caught, Big Time."
But, lord it was fun. Where will the Pumpkin Avengers strike next?
