Virtual Jungle: Less is More
http://dantonsideways.blogspot.com/2014/01/less-is-more.html
Thursday, 9 January 2014. I think I might get a bit involved in Second Life again. Internet engagement tends to be cyclic, as I already observed back in 2008 in a post entitled Boom and Bust. It now appears that one’s level of participation can go through both short cycles and long cycles. My first long cycle of engagement in Second Life lasted, with a few minor interruptions, from my avatar’s birth. In late 2007 to the time of my last prior post. In general, it seems that the higher you plan to fly on t...

Virtual Jungle: Troubled Sleep
http://dantonsideways.blogspot.com/2008/01/troubled-sleep.html
Saturday, 12 January 2008. What do you do if your socialist theme park gets flash-mobbed. Now that the Real Danton. Has stood up, he can let it all hang out. I've been sleeping fitfully lately. One night as I nodded off, I was seized with the vision that my real life had always been virtual, and that only my Second Life was real. The following morning I awoke out of a frightful nightmare, in which an army of cyborgs. Was trying to destroy Neufreistadt and the Confederation of Democratic Sims. What if a h...

Wednesday, 11 May 2011. The Limits of Virtual Democracy. I joined the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS). In December 2007, when my Avatar was just a few weeks old.

The democratic apparatus of CDS. Then meets regularly (generally ...

Virtual Jungle: Swept Away
http://dantonsideways.blogspot.com/2008/04/swept-away.html
Monday, 14 April 2008. I've been sucked into the maelstrom of brutal politics within the Confederation of Democratic Sims. A few short months ago I discovered. What seemed to be the sleepy little virtual democracy of CDS, and took up residence in a corner of the Colonia Nova. On the CDS forum, which contained a rather bitter debate between Michel, founder of the CARE faction. And certain members of CSDF. In the middle of the thread, Michel posted the following comment, dated December 25th:. Patroklus Mur...
