Official Second Life Blog 
Carpentaria is full. And the surrounding sims are packed with people who can’t get in D:
It would heave been an idea to do it in several places at once, maybe?
Nice a snowball fight.
When teleport would be working to that location, maby we could come there…. but…. again… to bad that is not working.
Can’t get there from here. Thanks for invite, tho. Story of my life, invitations, but no way to get there……….lol
Umm … ever think of doing these things on multiple sims that are next to each other? We have more people in the next sims banging the walls of the sim repetitively that you have in yours!
How is it from 3am – 5am when it starts at 6am?

Kovari is full too <_<
Methinks someone didn’t think this through too well..
Kovari is now down. I think we won………..
I *finally* get into kovari ….. am almost at the snowball fight …. then you take the sim down and log me off? Lame Lindens, Lame.

Don’t tell me the asset servers lost the snowballs lol
Hobo Railroad Hub in Calleta is the only alternative if you wanna fling yellow snow with stones in!
Hang on … beginning/open 3AM-5AM … and this was posted at 5:33AM ????? Have I missed the plot???
Still.. a nice effort from LL for the holidays.
yeah…. it realy is a fight. not with snowballs but with teleport to that place. think the ones that get to that sim have won the fight ???
well…. LL… damn nice job again, but to bad we cant join
I enjoyed that but it wasn’t until it was finished that i realized my AO disabled the snowball shooter 😦
What about doing this A) in more than one sim and B) at more different times and locations in general?
I think we underestimated how many of you were so looking forward to being able to throw things at Lindens in world without worrying about being kicked for it. 😉
We are working on improving things performance wise for the next round.
Thanks to everyone that was there and for everyone who wasn’t or couldn’t get in, please try again in the rounds to follow. It was wonderful fun. 🙂
RiversRunRed gave away a snowball fight goodie as part of their vodafone promotion ages ago – if its still available on vodafone island, you can go pick one up and get you own snowball fights going!
So, that’s what you’re all doing instead of fixing the horrendous lag that’s been plaguing us since the “upgrade”. I’m just trying to take an object into inventory – 5 minutes so far, and still not there. Happy Christmas!
Ever think about using those way cool snowballs that actually do something when you hit some one. Much more satisfying. Deevyde Maelstrom makes a free snowball called a Brainiac Snowball that works just like yours only if you hit someone there disabled a moment while they fall on there a@@. Or are you scared you would never be able to get up?
Just an idea for events like this: Would it be possible to create an instanced sim? One that creates a copy of itself if the original sim is full. I mean, if only 40 people can participate, it’s a bit pointless.
Having an instanced sim that comes up on 5 servers or more if needed would be a nice feature for business owners as well. Shop full, new instance with the exact same vendors pops up, new teleports are automatically redirected.
Hello
Any ideas why there is nothing posted about the snowball fight on the Teen Grid on the SL Blog?
Also why Teen Grid is getting MG notices during the day?
Thanks Again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008
Snowball Fight wooot!
My house has room to hold 10 people… I think I’ll invite 5 million people over. Hmmmmm
wow…
why do i even bother to click on these anymore??
LL does something nice for the holidays…
the blog junkies continue to whine…
really… isnt there a star-trek convention going on or something???
FOR ONCE>>>> can it just be the holiday season!?!?…
.. is it too much to ask for not to hear this continuous nihilistic crap for ONCE when someone does something nice for ya?? really… the EMO crap gets old after a while…
.. really, if ya want attention so bad…. buy a dog!!
wait… ill buy one for ya…..
… after all..
… it IS Christmas……
MERRY CHRISTMAS anyway… folks…
… and because it’s never said… and i find myself attracted to this game like a crackho is to a rundown building on a friday night….
THANKS LINDEN LABS!!
… IGNORE THE EBINEEZER’S OUT THERE… THERES plenty OF US that LOVE what you do… ya.. things could run better at times… but c’est la vive!!
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!!!
Technical question:
I don’t have a regular snowball script, can I use a psitech snowball launcher instead?
Tactical question:
Can you publich a list of the lindens we can shoot and where and when they will be?
Pfff…forgot the main thing:
Happy Christmas to all (including Lindens!) and very very specially all the concierges! these guys/girls do great work!
Thanks!
hahahaha # 25 :p
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, “Secondlife that was lag freeeeeee”, take it away folks :p
You all were awesome!
Hats off to Erica Linden for being the only frog at the Christmas event!
Merry Xmass yall…
A Second Life Christmas Poem
Twas the night before christmas
and all through SL
the lindens, those people
were running like hell
’cause 45,000 residents here
wanted to come and give holiday cheer
well, the teleport system went up in a tizzy
that left even the oldest residents dizzy
and has stranded my client
not one, two, or three
but four time stuck staring at the
teleport bar, woe to me…
And on SL.com
that jolly domain
the residents write
“O please refrain,
from planning events
in that one sim
that will crash very promptly
when a person comes in”
Oh Linden Labs,
We understand
that the vast knowledge
of the source code at hand
is to dangerous to release
for hackers and scams
will take the money
from our residents’ hands
But next Christmas
how ’bout making some fun
by planning ahead
and working ’till done
So that next Season
when Christmas comes through
the sims will be working
and no one will sue
Happy Holidays everyone! Even to LL!

I had a great time! Bagged plenty of Lindens, discovered that Jeremy looks exactly like a RL friend called Jeremy, called Pathfinder a poodle, watched as Matthew got hit by so many balls simultaneously in the …. ummm ditto …. that the poor guy must be singing falsetto now and I’m dying to know what Harry was making.
I’m ready for another one.
Congratulations Lindens on the Holiday Event. I couldn’t get in, but that was fine;it means the event was successful and try it again. I totally agree with Ishtara Rothschild you have the technology already because you will use it on the new grid simulation you are developing. I know just at my SL wedding we had over 200 but only 60 or so could stay at a time without crashing. As We all look to the future of possibilities of Secondlife I hope we continue to hear the voices of those that give so much to the creativity and succes of its growth. SL has been built with alot of fortuitous innovative thinking and some points the residence, sim Owners and a variety of artistsb and builders have helped Secondlife be. For 2008 would it not be wonderful to have a place for the Ishtara Rothschild , Eye Dangle’s, Eladon Galsworthy, Cookie Carmicheal, Brombo Alonzo and all the other great Creators in Second life and residence can indeed contribute to the solution processes. I believe there is a huge difference between acheiving a goal and reaching a vision. The 1st means there is a limitation of aspectation acheived the second there is a vast horizon for the future and we can see it together by collectively listening and smiles cheering each other on. Warmest regards for a Prosperous Healthy and Blessed Holiday season and New Year Merry Christmas to everyone.

from Our home to yours be blessed.
P.S to the Concierge Team You all have been doing a tremendous job. HAPPY Holidays and thank you.
One thing I wondered at the snowball fight (yay – bagged 3 Lindens! Thanks LL!) is it possible to text chat in mouselook? I rarely used it and I hadn’t noticed I could’nt. Or did I miss something?
@33, sirhc DeSantis:
Last time I checked you can just hit Enter to open the Chat bar in Mouselook.

I always wondered when any major holiday comes around, why is it that the creative folks at LL do not go all out with creative builds that would be aw inspiring to even the best of the best of builders.
Here they got the Governors Mansion with no indication at all it’s even the Christmas holiday. No lights around the mansion not even a big beautiful Christmas tree. They got over 2,000 prims to use and nothing!
That place should be the show case of the Christmas holiday spirit in SL! With free gifts to give out and maybe even have some brave soul at LL to play Santa Clause and people could sit on his lap! How about it Philip. LOL
Instead they chose a rather barbaric way to show their Christmas spirit. =*(
YAY! Snowball fights!!!!
What better way to spend an evening than lobbing snow at Torley Linden.
I may have been crippled with Lag and had to re-log several times… but i my opinion it was worth it. 😛
Merry Crimbo!!!!
Thanks everyone, it was FUN!
