What would you do if another AV you knew came into your bedroom in Second Life ® uninvited, while you were having sexual relations with someone....stood there and watched you...and refused to leave? Read this conversation! It is a totally true story. It happened to a friend of mine, WG, female, on 2-11-08. All names have been changed to protect the guilty! The initials HI stand for Home Invader.
18:15] HI:: hi
18:15] WG: um, you are making my guest uncomfortable.
18:16] HI:: oh I am sorry, I thought you liked to share
18:16] WG: I would not mind, but she is uncomfortable.
18:16] HI:: and you like her ?
18:17] WG: yes
18:18] HI:: you seem to be less enthousiastic than last time
18:19] WG: I am surprised that you showed up like this...but I like you.
18:19] HI:: sorry
18:23] HI:: I really like your house
18:24] WG: thank you honey.
18:24] HI:: I used it once
18:24] WG: without me here?
18:25] HI:: yes, I came once after the last time
18:25] WG: did you bring someone? what was her name?
18:25] HI:: Yes, (name deleted)
18:25] WG: ahh...
18:26] WG: it would be better if you asked me first...my bf might walk in on you.
18:26] HI:: what is "walk in" ?
18:27] WG: this home belongs to my bf.
18:27] WG: he might come home
18:27] WG: and be very angry
18:27] HI:: so I would have left
18:28] HI:: I like you
18:28] HI:: not him
18:28] WG: thank you baby
18:29] HI:: I am sorry but I don't care of him
18:32] WG: but Hi, you should not come into my home without my permission...that is very rude.
18:32] HI:: but when I left I was there
18:32] HI:: that is he reason
18:33] WG: I am very upset that you have done this.
18:33] HI:: I could not imagine that you could be so poessive
18:33] HI:: possessive
18:34] WG: I would never enter your home without asking first.
18:35] HI:: but you were not here last time
18:35] HI:: I have not seen you for a while
18:35] WG: You should not go into another person's home when they are not home.
18:36] HI:: I am not into property obsessions
18:36] HI:: I did not imagine you were possessive. I had the feeling you were ver open minedd
18:38] WG: I am very open minded. but I am also polite.
18:38] WG: It is not polite what you did.
18:38] HI:: I did not say you are not polite
18:38] HI:: I am sorry to have disturbed you
18:38] HI:: I am very open
18:38] HI:: I have no personal home, but if I had one, it would open to my friends of course
18:38] WG: But you should not invade a person's home.
18:39] WG: you should be polite.
18:39] HI:: I have friends who have no problem with that
18:41] WG: You seemed like a nice gurl, but I am very upset with you right now.
18:42] HI:: what is this ?
18:43] HI:: what is the meaning of this ? I don't catch you really
18:43] WG: I would like you to leave and never come back
18:44] HI:: ok if you want, I do not understand why .. but if you say it, so ok
18:44] HI:: I will let to know to my friends to avoid to come here also
18:45] WG: lets talk
18:45] HI:: yes, what for ?
18:45] WG: I am trying to be patient with yoiu
18:46] WG: It is rude to enter another person's home without an invitation.
18:46] HI:: ok I have understood what you said
18:46] WG: In some cities, it is called "home invasion"
18:46] HI:: I don't agree, but ok it is your view
18:47] HI:: we are in sl
18:47] WG: If you want to open your home to anybody, that is your business.
18:47] WG: but I like my privacy
18:47] HI:: not to anybody, to my friends only
18:47] WG: ok fine.
18:47] HI:: ok I have understood, I am not stupid
18:47] WG: but I do not want my friends to show up without my permission
18:48] HI:: I have understood
18:48] WG: and even if I am home, with another girl, It is embarassing when yoiu just drop in.
18:48] HI:: I understand your view , it is not a problem
18:48] WG: maybe it is the first time with the othr girl, like tonight.
18:49] HI:: we don't agree because I don't take this seriously. It is competely virtual. So I cannot imagine so many complications. But ok this is serious for you and I understand
18:49] WG: my girl was very embarrassed to look up and see someone watching us./
18:49] WG: we are the same people her in sl that we are in RL
18:50] HI:: but it is not a real propoerty at all .. only graphism
18:50] WG: You would not walk into someone's bedroom without an invitation in RL, and not here either.
18:50] WG: it is wrong.
18:51] WG: I will correct this situation. I will buy a security orb for my home.
18:51] HI:: I assure you this is graphism
18:51] HI:: not real at all
18:51] WG: Then when the orb is working, you will not be able to get in unless I let you in.
18:51] HI:: you take this too much seriously
18:51] HI:: but ok
18:52] HI:: I undersantd
18:52] WG: You have offended me.
18:52] HI:: ok, let us say that
18:52] HI:: I cannot say the opposite, this is your feeling
18:52] WG: Valerie, how old are you in rl?
18:52] HI:: 24
18:53] WG: I am surprised at you.
18:53] WG: I would expect this from someone much younger.
18:54] HI:: I don't catch you, you pretend that this is serious , since it is only graphism, and you say I am not mature ? is it a joke ?
18:54] WG: Your behaviour is verry immature.
18:54] WG: Your behaviour is outrageous.
18:55] HI:: you are not aware that everything is virtual here and that this is not serious at all
18:55] WG: It is totally serious.
18:55] WG: It is a separate reality.
18:55] HI:: what ?a virtual home is something serious ?
18:55] WG: The rules of human ettiquitte apply here too.
18:55] WG: yes
18:56] WG: totally serious.
18:56] HI:: Do you have a friend who is expert in IT ?
18:57] WG: We are speaking here of manners, of good manners and bad manners. Your manners are very, very bad.
18:57] HI:: I am not like that at all in rl. I cannot enter in a house without invitation
18:58] WG: yes, but you did here. and it is just as bad.
18:58] HI:: you know, I am 24, in a business school. 6 years in univeristy. I know what I say
18:58] WG: I am a college grad.
18:58] WG: but so what
18:59] HI:: just to say I am not someone without any education ... I know what you say, and I know also that sl is only composed by "0" and "1"
19:00] WG: and manners
19:00] WG: human laws of social interaction.
19:00] HI:: ok, let us say that
19:01] HI:: you considered me as a friend or an intrusive ?
19:01] WG: at first, I invited you as a friend.
19:01] WG: But now you are an intruder.
At this point, WG used a defensive weapons system to try to eject HI. It did not work. WG now uses a "slow kill" device that attacks the invader with fireworks and SHOULD make her have to relog, but it does not work either, the Invader must be wearing a shield. Finally WG launches a Cage around the Invader. This works.
19:01] HI:: listen to me
19:02] HI:: you find me here, and then you shoot on me, you put me in a cage ... you think that these are good manners to be with friends even if there is a problem of perception ?
19:03] WG: if it is just o and 1, then what is the problem with my cage?
19:03] HI:: there is no problem. but it makes noise and a lot of light on my screen
WG finally leaves HER OWN HOME out of frustration!
19:19] HI:: (Saved Mon Feb 11 21:06:48 2008) you left ?
19:19] WG: yes I left.
19:21] HI:: I left your house, I hope you will be happy with that
19:22] WG: I am shocked at your behavioiur
19:22] HI:: ok you told me 5 times
19:22] WG: I will buy a security orb tonight.
19:22] HI:: I have understood
19:22] HI:: I will not come back, don't worry
CONCLUSION: WG has installed a Security Orb. Intruders are now ejected from her property after 10 seconds.
