Secret Agent Wo(man)

Location: CIA Headquarters

Take note, one and all—HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CYNTHIA BARLEY!. Visit her SLProfiles site and extend your wishes.

You have to be taken in by a virtual business that names itself this. Owner Jamie Bergman, a woman tired of griefing by male avatars in SL, has a “sister store” called Femme Fatale. It’s full of gadgets so women can be rid of the male jerks who so often bother the typical (which means drop-dead lovely) females in-world.

No man can enter Femme Fatale un-attended.  Afraid of what might happen were I to try,  I called in Pappy Enoch’s (and now my) friends Cynthia Barley and Tenchi Morigi, put on an “Office Boy” suit to look serious, then went into Femme Fatale.

Tenchi, Cynthia, and I had a blast exploring these stores and plotting a possible jail-break for Pappy Enoch.  Cynthia and I returned again the next day for a photo-shoot and chat marathon.

On our visits, I got to see anti-griefer devices such as “Pooh of Doom,” Cynthia’s favorite. It’s a little cute bear that can send an offending avatar far into orbit above the Lindens’ world, presumably to fall for many long minutes.  One must log off SL and then on again. I invite any veteran SL resident with an “orbiter” to try it on me.  I plan to take photos of Iggy flailing about in Zero-G.

While I love Bergman’s “Silly Old Bear,” some of her other devices are more sinister: bugs to monitor others’ chat, GPS units to track them in-world. There’s some sort of “assassin” service here as well, upstairs in the CIA HQ with other high-dollar items. I admired a device to flood a griefer’s SL client with colored bars that look like a system crash.  Yet even as I saw these brilliant bits of coding, I envisioned griefers using them on the rest of us.

On a note both more positive and positively seedy, I envisioned a virtual gumshoe, tracking the movements of virtual spouses on their way to some assignation in a low-rent sim.  Given how seriously some SLers take their virtual marriage, why not virtual PIs, taking surreptitious snaps of slow-dancing avatars at a nightclub? Of me and Cynthia dancing on the table at CIA HQ?  Hey? Was that the sound of a camera’s shutter I just heard in-world?
