Obama and Hillary Democratic pummelings on the Presidential Race and Virtual Trail to the White House
you’d think that politics run rampant in America…and you’d be right.
Did you know they’re heating up in the Virtual World of Second LIfe as well?
To wit:
…The presidential campaign has gotten nasty in the real world. It’s getting nasty in the virtual world, too.
As Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama duke it out in the Democratic primary, unofficial campaigns are being waged by fervent supporters in Second Life, the virtual world run by Linden Lab….
But campaign rallies increasingly are being disrupted by supposed supporters of other candidates. Virtual organizers have had their headquarters vandalized, their events ambushed and their marches sabotaged.
The incidents are the latest signs of bad behavior in Second Life, which has some 13.3 million residents, though only 1.3 million have logged on during the past 60 days, according to Linden Lab, in San Francisco. Disruptive behavior is often referred to as “griefing” and can include hurling insults or shooting at characters. While the virtual violence leaves no real bloodshed, enough bullets flying can crash a Second Life server and knock people offline.
Everett Harper, Linden Lab’s director of community initiatives, says Second Life mirrors real-life politics ….MORE….
Yet another reason why I hope no one in my family gets into politics….. :-/
