Second Life Liberation Army nuked in-game stores

Second Life protest - Image 1We can’t remember where and when exactly, but we are pretty sure that we came across this thought somewhere: “The problem with Second Life is that it’s a great expanse with nothing to do.” (Of course, not all Second Life players will agree with that sentiment. But you know that every game has its share of critics.)

Do you know what happens to people with nothing to do? They detonate nukes, that’s what happens. That is what some of the veteran SL residents did the other day.

Marshal Cahill, who started playing when the game’s population was still around 100,000, set up the first bomb on February 22 and had it exploded outside an American Apparel Store. Another explosion occurred outside one Reebok store.

Cahill said that he is actually a political officer for the Second Life Liberation Army. According to him, their army is fighting because they want Linden to grant them more influence in the future of the game through voting. The player even mentioned that more bombs will be put up near in-game corporations to draw real world attention.

“The population of the world should have a say in the running of the world,” cries Cahill.

We don’t know what to make out of this. However as far as some people are concerned, they believe that Linden Lab has fixed this issue before by releasing the game’s source code to the public.
