Just desserts, a.k.a. Poetic Justice
My usual rant about There is the fact that There is filled with people who think of themselves as "Elite".
You know, I used to go on huge honking tears about how those people don't get it, they are getting special treatment, how There is just a chicken-wire outfit with managers who care more about their personal pets than the rest of the membership of that world.
Well, tonight, the glutton for punishment I am...well, I had to go looking in forums.
And once again, this time I'm not even surprised, I just started laughing hysterically, when I read that one of the "developer favorites" got his hands on a model that no one else could, or was invited to do so. When I saw that, I just started to laugh because I know that the people who hate the "Elite" just grew exponentially.
There it was, plain to see, that once again, the head of the developer program stepped on himself again. You know, I've heard the expression "Stepped on his crank" but I had never really seen anyone do it until today.
I did tell the head of the developer program a long, long time ago...(excuse my language), but I told him, "don't fuck with the money". This is easily paraphrased as, don't screw with people who shoulder such an enormous load of profit for There. Now this is not hard to understand. If you want to keep your customers happy, you do business in a fair manner. Uh, hi, that means the money keeps rolling in, but to There, I guess they don't need it because they don't give a damn about their members, they just care about the bottom line.
I'm guessing at this point that There wants to close down, because the number of people I see jumping ship for Uru or for Second Life is staggering. And people wonder why There is so small compared to Second Life. With the There Staff BLATANTLY....and I mean BLATANTLY playing favorites, giving their little pets everything in the world and leaving everyone else hind tit, you know that one day a rebellion will happen.
Now the reason that this made me laugh so hard is because the "There Elite" chew up and spit people out on a regular basis...now remember from my viewpoint it takes 100 Therians to make 1 Uruite, and this time I know of one person who would agree wholeheartedly.
Let me tell you the story.
Famous developer "X" recieves an unreleased 3D model from a member of the There management (this is no flunky screwing up, this is a MANAGER).
Now famous developer "X" has been chumming around with developer "Y" for a long time, who hangs around with the "Developer Elite" and they all act like their poop don't stink. In the mean time, this pack of people is gaining enemies like a Farrari against a Pinto. Now these two have been having vehicle painting contests, they show their buggies together and they are just all around pals. They had a lot of respect for each other, until today.
Well, what do you think happened? Developer "Y" got the SHAFT. From what he wrote in the forums I could see the steam coming out of his ears from here. LOL.
I don't know what made me laugh harder, one more person taking the shaft from people who have no business whatsoever thinking themselves "Elite", or the fact that developer "Y" just took it up the butt from his "Buddies" AND the ThereStaff.
I sat back thinking...now you know how I felt after the TFC Sham.
I'm telling you, the ThereStaff have as much idea about running a service that is unbiased as an iguana behind the wheel of a Bentley.
If virtual world managment staffs had "Darwin Awards" There would keep walking away a winner every time. They just seem to WANT to piss off every single paying customer they have.
I have to say, I'm used to being on the end that gets screwed by the "Elites" and by the ThereStaff. I'm immune to their stupidity by now.
This one was just a good laugh.
What's that song..."Another one bites the dust", that's got to be what the "Elites" are singing right about now.
Developer "Y", dude, get used to it....you were used, abused and thrown away like a used condom. You want more?? Keep developing for profit and think that you are actually making a difference to people who see you only for the revenue you make them.
I'm laughing about this, because ALL of those people deserve to be laughed at, they're just that pathetic. How can you take anything seriously from any of the ThereStaff or any of their little pets??
Oh yes, but I forget, one of the "Elites" was a girl who couldn't get off of her Relto in Uru and was so stupid about it, she didn't even ask for help.
I love a good laugh.
