This showed up on Plurk, although I can't link the original since her timeline is set to private.

Apparently the ideal way to run a business is to hold your customers hostage until they harass someone you don't like into doing what you want them to. Awesome!

What an excellent time for someone to come along with a competing product!

(Only not chickens this time, k? I mean really... chickens??)

its a tamagotchi type of game, feed the chickens so they don't die.

Except this dispute is full of e-lolyers and scripted online threats to customers.

all in all, a bit of lulz yesterday. Personally, I'll stick to 7seas fishing

Brilliant ploy - create a panic so folks have to race in and buy a shitload of feed..... or their chickens might die!

So IMO she should have expected a backlash.

Both her and the creator are acting like turds imo.

Joshua Nightshade · 07-30-2009, 01:39 PM

A lawsuit over what?

**eku Zhong** · 07-30-2009, 01:41 PM

Judge Broody presiding.. please all rise...

Over damages, because he implemented an anti-cheat thingey in the chickens to delete eggs that were created by an exploit.

According to our favorite drama blog:

Quote:

The first major Sion chicken drama was that the Lindens were deleting chickens from Mainland sims because they were too laggy. Not long after, Sion Zaius released a “lagless” (ha!) version of his chickens. This newest development in Chicken Drama revolves around a particular Chicken Mover, a scripted box that is meant to allow chicken farmers to move their precious squawkers around.

This newly programed transfer box was meant to delete all “laggy-scripted” chickens from the previous version. It not only deleted those, it deleted current version, ancients, …. pretty much anything you put in the box, it deleted.

Which led to Aeryn saying:

Quote:

You have been reported for fraud. People lost thousands of Lindens yesterday b/c of the reboxing panic started when you decided to put out proteggtors that intentionally deleted ancient eggs. Deleting unupdated ones is fine however the batch that deleted everyones ancients regardless of update cost alot of people alot of money when for whatever reason they had to rebox their ancient eggs they bought and they poofed.

You didn’t inform anyone of this decision as you never send out prior notices of updates. So we had no warning. this is a totally unethical practice. And quite close if not crossing the line of fraud, since all business in SL is real businesses.

I have spoken with my colleges (we are a group of Insurance and Fraud Attorneys) This is pursuable. ANd unless you make amends to all those who lost money yesterday and make a public statement to all chicken owners yourself (not via Shammy) This matter will be pursued in the RL legal system.

And then Sion decided to punish everyone else, effectively 'starving' (and potentially killing) the chickens.

So the product worked as advertised!

Will take some doing but I wonder if thats the same e-lawyer that was going to make a 'class action' lawsuit against me when LL borked the swimmer 1.1 so they could take control of 'obviously abandoned' code.....

I think my reply was 'well if you manage that I'll hire you to get me a refund for the flat can of coke thats been under my bed for a year and a half'
