According to reliable sources, Figtree held an suspiciously timed staff meeting last Friday morning - a meeting timed for when Wingless Emoto would be asleep and therefore unable to attend. During this meeting it was determined that the talented avatar creator Emoto was earning too much and should therefore be removed from staff. The terms of service for Figtree's company, Darkphere Creations, were then conveniently changed, and Miss Emoto was removed from her position, all before she awoke to the news. Wingless Emoto was also accused of "sitting on her ass" despite the fact that she had been unable to work for a short period of time due to technical malfunctions. Her remaining avatars and creations continued to sell well throughout this period, generating significant real life money for the company. Now that Wingless is gone, Maldavius Figtree is continuing to sell her avatars, refuses to return her creations, and has ceased paying her the commission they had agreed upon. Maldavius Maldavius Figtree This isn't the first time that Maldavius Figtree has been involved in heated debates over ownership of content creation. Last summer Figtree was contracted to work for Brautigan and Tuck Holdings to script their orientation island in North. When disputes over direction arose between Figtree and BNT CEO, IntLibber Brautigan, Figtree insisted on removing his own creation. It is perhaps ironic that the shoe is not on the other foot today as Figtree continues to sell Emoto's designs. Wingless Emoto refuses to be put down by this incident. Others have suggested she form her own company for quite some time, and she sees this new development as an opportunity to do so. Commenting on Figtree, Emoto said, "I always knew he was an ass but this is just low, even for him." It remains to be seen how well Figtree's Darksphere Creations will weather this storm - particularly if public sentiment is roused and consumer boycotts follow. Jan 20, 2008 8:59:55 AM | News from Second Life Comment 55 Reblog It 0 55 Comments Anonymous Maldavius is an ass. Plain and simple, he's the only person that actually manages to make the JLU and the PN combined look like boy scouts. He not only destroyed the woodbury sim layout, but he bugged any and every object he could find, or hid objects in the walls to log chats and log who is in a certain location, he does this with many of his creations, he'll hide scripts in a .010x.010x.010 prim amongst normal prims. He also wrecked other builds he's been involved with. He also went as far as enrolling in the real life Woodbury University in an attempt to gain control over the Woodbury Sim that was planned at the time after it got shut down initially. Yes, that's right folks, he actually went as far as enrolling in a 22k a year school to get control over something in a fake world. He has backstabbed countless people, even harassing people in real life, and getting others to harass them outside of SL until they drop out of existence, one way or another. Has conducted DDoS attacks using http requests from within Second Life (and will more than likely attack this site now) Somehow, he's managed to skirt past all the ToS violations he's broken. It's either because he's a furry (when he wants to admit to it, he's like a light switch on this subject, though, given how easily butthurt he gets, anything he says about not being a furry is a lie.) He was kicked off the Woodbury project due to his unstable and erratic behavior when dealing with other people and vowed "Woodbury will never return" and holed himself up in his two horribly designed sims. So this isnt, at all, a shock. He doesn't want people being more successful than him, and chances are he's pulling out his arsenal on wingless emoto as we speak to completely ruin her, on SL and outside of SL. Though if the latter affects wingless, her fault for giving him any sort of real info on her. The part that confuses me is how Maldavius gets away with so much, where other people would get the wrath of the Lindens for much much less (including someone mentioned in a recent article) I'd also like to note that Maldavius is a former JLU member, and he's the only person who has pissed off and backstabbed Kalel Venkman and is still on the grid, and isnt being mentioned, which is odd given how hard Kalel fights to destroy others' credibility so passionately. This is only part of his rap sheet, and only what I've seen and heard about, I'm sure there are plenty of people with their take on him. In short, he's an incredibly disturbed person, general jackass and somewhat violent and unstable. The best policy is to not get involved with him at all, do not buy from him, do not hire him for your personal projects, as at the first sign of something not going exactly the way he wants it, he will go off the handle. He does it partly for the money, the rest for the power. Now that we're done with that disclaimer: LOL FURSUITS BEING STOLEN. LOL. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Posted by: Anonymous | January 20, 2008 at 09:42 AM Anonymous This is not only hypocracy from maldavius, but greed. Wingless' avatars were pulling in a lot of cash - managing minimum wage on some weeks, even though half of the profit from each of her avatars sold went to Maldavius. It seems quite obvious to me that Maldavius has fired her to get his hands on the other half of the cash from her avatar sales. Posted by: Anonymous | January 20, 2008 at 10:10 AM Micheru Mathys Wingless Emoto - if you're reading this, do you do custom avatar work? I'd like to meet with you to discuss a potential commission. -Micheru Mathys www.micheru.com / micheru -at- maxmarch.com Posted by: Micheru Mathys | January 20, 2008 at 11:12 AM L OH GOD THE FAGGOT DRAMA, IT BURNS! I think you're all forgetting the source of Maldy's butthurt: Warehouse Raep. Maldy has this uncontrollable desire to get reamed in the ass by other people, like Blizzard warehouse managers and UPS boxes. Posted by: L | January 20, 2008 at 11:55 AM L HOLD UP WAIT. Is that a picture of Maldy doing a cockmongler imitation? brb, gonna go throw up. Posted by: L | January 20, 2008 at 11:57 AM anon OMG this is so funny, he wanted to be my business partner, so I took him on board. He did approx 80mins work against my 30hrs and expected to get half the cash. Then when I complained about this, as well as being constantly ignored for 2 weeks he gives me his 'Do you know how good a scripter I am, how much I'm worth, I make 8000$us a month from sl' speech. Of course at this stage the alarm bells rang and I quickly hit the delete/silence button. It's all a shame really, especially as I had a deadline to meet, and this all reflected badly on me. Still it's not the first time I've been ripped like this, so many egos on sl. The thing to remember is if you took SL away from folk like this, they wouldn't have anything else to shake their matchbox of power at!! Posted by: anon | January 20, 2008 at 12:36 PM IntLibber Brautigan I am glad to see the rest of the grid waking up to what a cancerous evil there is in Maldavius Figtree. Unmentioned in the article is his participation in the destruction of six of my sims after he brainwashed one of my staff into quitting BNT. The reason he gets away with it: he's the kid of a noted Blizzard programmer who developed Starcraft, and LL doesn't want to make waves in the gaming industry. That his own dad thinks he's a no account loser and wont pay for his education cause academically he sucks ass doesn't seem to enter into the equation. Many of the people on the grid he has victimized never file abuse reports against him because he has invented this aura that he has all these "secret linden friends" who would go after anybody who AR'd him. The fact is I've been told by persons unnamed (see Maldy, I can do it too, cept this time its for reals), that LL doesn't listen to anything he says and they know what a danger he is, which is why LL refused to hire him. I now encourage everybody he's victimized to mass AR this karmic black hole and do to him what Kalel did to Tizzers. Posted by: IntLibber Brautigan | January 20, 2008 at 01:11 PM humanoid I've seen creators deal with this problem in the past by giving the disputed content away for free. Has she done this? We simply don't have enough fox/dog/wolf/coyote-looking things running around SL.

I refused to allow myself to believe these allegations without question, especially when she contacted me asserting that the stories were false. A word to the wise: If Maldavius calls you on Skype, chances are he has some elaborate lie to tell you that he hopes will destroy your objectivity and impartiality and bring you into his way of thinking. After I began to question this, my estate manager privileges were revoked, allegedly because I was "never in SL". He banded together with a bunch of his residents and decided that I had "helped people attack the sim", based on who knows what information. Then he delivered the sledgehammer blow: "no one likes you". I had seen this before: Maldavius used the same sort of groupthink tactics to sway the weak minds of his furry friends. He used the exact same approach to make Grinn Mannonen's alt into an enemy of "his" people, as well as his aforementioned business partner, and probably many others. For some reason his words carry an air of authority, and people tend to believe him. I sold my land cheap and moved to the mainland, as it was obvious that by not being on his team 100%, I had become the enemy. Then I made a secret group about how much he sucked, primarily for the lulz. He got massively butthurt and deleted me from his friends list, although not after engaging in a hilarious conversation with me that was obviously intended to reconciliate truth and lies in his own mind. Also, if you feel like abuse reporting him, cite this discussion from his Darksphere Creations group chat, on January 20th 2008, regarding Wingless Emoto. The relevant part is the blatant DISCLOSURE at the end of the first portion. The rest is just for your personal enlightenment. [11:56] Maldavius Figtree: I fired her, she didnt work for two months, missed meetings because she was playing wow and/or too lazy to come, and then freaked out when I said I would be paying her on fridays instead of point of sale due to tax complications since i have to report all this income for taxes [11:57] Alyx Stoklitsky: She got in one little fight and her mom got scared, and said "you're moving in with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air". [11:57] Maldavius Figtree: [1/18/2008 4:47:48 PM] Wingless says: I made a druid named peniscock >: [1/18/2008 4:48:03 PM] Maldavius says: Cool, i ran the company while you sat on your ass.

[11:59] Maldavius Figtree: I know this because i met her IRL she lives two hours from me :P [12:00] Maldavius Figtree: So thats what happened [12:00] Ricven Hazlitt: the SL herald says something else [12:00] Maldavius Figtree: Send me a link ricven? [12:00] Maldavius Figtree: SL Herald is a tabloid anyway lol they employ prokofy [12:01] Ricven Hazlitt: You: http://www.secondlifeherald.com/ [12:03] Ricven Hazlitt: my next question is [12:03] Ricven Hazlitt: why are you still selling her avatars, if she asked you to take them down [12:03] Maldavius Figtree: I did the scripting for them and paid for all the uploads [12:03] Maldavius Figtree: They are half my content [12:04] Maldavius Figtree: I told her she will be paid on fridays for the sales when she turns in the weekly report as usual [12:04] Maldavius Figtree: And she freaked. [12:07] Maldavius Figtree: So if half the content is mine, and i agreed to only take half the revenue as I always did then why would she be pissed [12:07] Maldavius Figtree: I planned the meeting, told her about it, she played wow til 4am and slept through it. Not my fault. [12:09] Maldavius Figtree: What would you have done ric? I tried telling her to get to work, said DSC would cover the cost of a new tablet for her and all she told me is she wanted to play wow. So yes shes no longer on staff and if she wants money she can turn in a report like everyone else. [12:10] Ricven Hazlitt: how do you turn in a report for a company that you don't work for anymore [12:10] Maldavius Figtree: You hand it to me over a profile [12:10] Maldavius Figtree: Its a notecard [12:10] Maldavius Figtree: She doesnt need to be in a group to drop it on my profile now does she [12:10] Ricven Hazlitt: Mal [12:10] Ricven Hazlitt: as a friend [12:11] Ricven Hazlitt: your treading on dangersous thing ice right now [12:11] Ricven Hazlitt: not from me, but from a standpoint on your company [12:11] Maldavius Figtree: Ricven, I had to do what was best for the company. I realise you dont see that but im not the only one who wanted her gone. Posted by: Warren Flanagan | January 20, 2008 at 03:42 PM anon1 Congratulations, Maldavius Figtree!

Timmy, we are going to have to have a talk when you get home from middle school. Posted by: Maldvius's Dad | January 20, 2008 at 06:25 PM Keller Teichmann Maldavius and the rest of DSC were just freeloading off of her work. If she was so lazy and not working, why on Earth is it such a big deal? It would only be a big deal if HER products were the ones that sold, and evidently, they sound like they're the only ones that do sell. Plus, Mr. Maldavius, it'd be all too easy for you to say "I'm a busy man." ... and on second thought, who owns the vendors? You and your party of coat-tail riders do. She won't know how many of her avatars you've sold, so you could easily kick her in the crotch again. Posted by: Keller Teichmann | January 20, 2008 at 06:32 PM lol The funniest part is that he keeps making this point that Wingless is being "lazy" and not working. This would be a valid argument if she was paid some kind of salary. Instead, she's paid a commission at point-of-sale. This means she ONLY GETS PAID FOR WORK SHE HAS ALREADY DONE. In such a situation, there is no reason to "fire" someone for being lazy. Who cares if she wants to stop working, now that 50% of everything she already made is enough money for her right now? Maldavius always claims that DSC was intended as a means for people interested in working to market their products through, and all he did was provide a front end to the public. If this "business for the workers" is the purpose, why should he care if someone working for him is content with the money thier current products are making all on their own? The only reason he could want her to produce MORE is that he wants more income for himself.. which he then got by FIRING her and taking ALL the money her products make. "Weekly reports" are unnecessary, the vendors record and log all sales, and automatically paid her. The only reason he would want to delay payments and pay them straight from himself would be to take a bigger cut than he was entitled to while lying about how many avatars were actually sold. I've hung out a lot in Darksphere land, though I've always decided to stay out of the company because of all the constant drama and bullshit I see within it (and always related to Fagtree). In my time there, I've never seen any other "employee" pressured half as much to do more work. If you look in the store, Wingless has more than 40 products for sale, all of which have been created or completely re-worked in the past few months. Of all the other people in DSC I saw with the title "Artisan," there are maybe two or three products for sale aside from Wingless' and Maldavius' own. Were any of these employees fired for not doing their jobs? On the subject of Maldavius himself and his contributions to the company, there's a good bit to be said. He doesn't do much. I'll admit he's an accomplished scripter. Or he fakes it rather well. It's believed by many that, as with many other things he's taken credit (or payment) for, he copies others' work and puts it in his own name. With no-mod scripts, there's no evidence to check this with. He knows how to script, he understands programming. I know for a fact he's ineffecient as hell with it, though, and I sometimes doubt he could pull off many of the things he does on his own. However he comes about his scripting, whether through copying-and-pasting and fixing things here and there, or writing the occasional thing on his own, they aren't very marketable and are rarely innovative. Last I saw, he had maybe five products for sale in his own shop, all variants on particle effects. I've never seen one bought or used. At all. It seems the only thing Maldavius contributes to his own company is drama. Whether in the form of slave-driving, manipulation, or sex scandals, his every action seems to hurt his precious company. His employees are constantly being shuffled in and out the door as he fires anyone who disagrees with him for a second on anything, then re-hires them when he realizes he can't do anything on his own. He has a craving for power that may exceed his ridiculous greed for money. Every chance he gets, he manipulates anyone he can (and he has plenty, he tries to surround himself with weak-minded, submissive, insecure individuals-- easy to find in the furry community he immerses himself in). Much of the drama in his little world centers around his penis. Female employees in his company, as well as any female land-owner on his sims unlucky enough to attract his attention (which isn't hard, he spends a lot of time spying on people) are invariably subjected to constant sexual harassment. If they refuse his advances, he threatens them. Sometimes he holds their employment over their heads. Sometimes he threatens to reclaim their land. Sometimes he just bans them from the sim. If he has any personal information on them at all, he uses that. However, because he seeks out the weak-willed, submissive, and desperate, many fall to his advances and do the textual nasty with him. He then holds this over their heads as more personal ammunition against them. An interesting thing to note is -there- he conduts his sexual advances and the resulting furry humpin'. Does he go somewhere private, perhaps a convenient secret mainland plot? Nope. He textfucks right there in Machina, in a dark sphere (fitting, ain't it?) right there above his main store. By "right there" I mean approximately 700 meters up, but you get the idea. He has a horrible looking wood-textured "apartment" up there, complete with a sex bed he insists is "only for cuddling," though many can demonstrate otherwise. We've all got screenshots. Don't get too close if you want to take a gander, though, he has a gigantic scanner in the middle of the sphere that teleports anyone home who gets too near. Luckily, draw distance can be set to more than 96m. God, I could go on and on, but I'll just throw in one more thing. He has a fetish for creamsicle-colored huskies. He loves that curly tail. Posted by: lol | January 20, 2008 at 07:01 PM Anonymous I wonder if Maldy's dad knows that Mald loves the knot. :) After all, everyone knows his dad's contact info :) Posted by: Anonymous | January 20, 2008 at 07:13 PM ZeeScarlet In my ...interactions..with Maldavius Figtree I lost....at least 70$ USD, a good portion of my pride, a good portion of my build, and worst of all...a couple of VERY good friends. I count myself as lucky that I narrowly escaped handing my work to the bastard... as I now make enough to pay tier off a line of clothes I had originally intended to sell through DSC. I had always thought that EVERYONE had a little good in them. That no matter how messed up their reasoning EVERYONE was more or less trying to do what they thought was morally correct...*scoffs*......then I met Mal. When I asked him why so many people disliked him once... he said it was because women go CRAZY after being with him...and, to his credit..I suppose the frantic scrubbing afterward COULD have some sort of detrimental mental effect. Posted by: ZeeScarlet | January 20, 2008 at 10:01 PM Mal's balls. [12:11] Maldavius Figtree: Ricven, I had to do what was best for the company. I realise you dont see that but im not the only one who wanted her gone. In response to the above I just wanted to point out that I personally have heard this argument from Maldavius before. This equates to Mal declaring, "I plan on ban/firing ...you got a problem with that?" You answer yes and Mal screams at you for telling him how to run his company, sim, etc. You answer no and Mal inevitably ban/fires them and tells everyone it was a group decision. He could really use a pair if you asked me....but then I've moved on to greener pastures. Posted by: Mal's balls. | January 20, 2008 at 10:32 PM Prokofy Neva Maldavius is a creep stalking griefer, no question. But of course, Intlibber had no scruples about hiring him back in the day, and deploying him against enemies. So is the purpose of this article to whitewash Woodbury and Intlibber? Because if so, it's a fail. The Herald always lurches to extremes, and is never able to say, "a plague on both your houses." I really had to wonder what was up at the Concierge party once last year, when Malodorous, as I used to call him, kept standing on my head over and over, right in front of Spike Linden. Spike only laughed. I kept complaining about the griefing, and the Lindens did nothing. Perhaps this theory about the big game industry dad helps explain it. On that day, as on other days, Maldavius was in a coordinated griefing posse with Tizzers, so this idea that he was a cancer, and the blight of Woodbury, is silly, as all of Woodbury itself is the cancer and blight. BTW, Mr. Pix has now learned from Mal's griefing tecnique, and tries to stand on my head when at parties too. Very mature behaviour. Posted by: Prokofy Neva | January 21, 2008 at 12:19 AM At0m0 Beerbaum Wow, the only person on the grid that all the rivaling parties can agree on one thing with. We have prok, intlibber, the PN, various furries, and /b/tards agreeing with each other. Now just some comments from the JLU and hell will completely freeze over. Posted by: At0m0 Beerbaum | January 21, 2008 at 02:21 AM Alyx Stoklitsky Prokofy, I hardly think that standing on someone's virtual head constitutes "griefing". And neither does simply *being* on land owned by you. Tell me Prok, is there anything in your book that ISN'T griefing? Posted by: Alyx Stoklitsky | January 21, 2008 at 02:32 AM Micheru Mathys Hey, can I write for the Herald? I'm sure I could write biased libelous drivel and conjecture without breaking a sweat! How's the pay? Benefits? Now, what Mal did was fucked up, but.. is this news? Also, the picture of him sucking cock wasn't nessescary. Anyhow, still no love. Get back to me on that inquiry though. -Micheru www.micheru.com / micheru -at- maxmarch.com Posted by: Micheru Mathys | January 21, 2008 at 04:09 AM Kilostar I say ban his ass from all furry sims and revoke his vendors Posted by: Kilostar | January 21, 2008 at 04:50 AM Archie Lukas He is a nasty nasty little boy and his mother is ashamed of him Posted by: Archie Lukas | January 21, 2008 at 10:02 AM lolwut He's like Corsi Mousehold but without the voice changer. Posted by: lolwut | January 21, 2008 at 10:47 AM Lord Of Placenta It's be pretty easy to compare this guy and Tizzers, and realise how badly he deserves the permaban, but the biggest difference is that he kisses the asses of too many lindens, maybe yiffs them in that sphere of his, which is probably why he's still allowed to wander around in sl. For example, that time when Maldavius and Frontier Linden were "partners" (yiffing ingame, maldy was the woman in the relationship), and when old figtress tried to get Frontier fired after the breakup. Posted by: Lord Of Placenta | January 21, 2008 at 11:50 AM Benson Na, the word's getting around well enough as is, he'll be shunned if he tries anything. As for now, I offered to buy an av straight off Wingless, she gave me everything, all the avs she had....as I come to find out, she's doing the same for anyone that wants to buy one. Darksphere will most likely go under, she's the only one that had anything worth buying. The rest is just random junk any half ass builder could make or a few thousand others already sell. Though I admit, i liked the V1 Wolves more than the V2...and the foxes look like their heads are smushed...aside from that, entirely worth the money....but since i got them all free,I Got no complaits Posted by: Benson | January 21, 2008 at 12:12 PM DINGOS ATE MY BABYFUR Just try this, apply pressure in different directions. Googlestalk up Maldy's dad, find his supervisor at Blizzard. E-mail Blizzard, let em know that you are utterly disgusted, yaadaa yaaadaaa, link back here, at the behaviors of Blizzard staff and family, and you won't be purchasing any more Blizzard stuff. Ensure widest distro. Obviously Bliz can't do a damn thing, but what daddy's gonna enjoy going to work where the watercooler gossip revolves around their son being the star of the above photo. Pressure, friends....pressure. Family can do what we can't. Posted by: DINGOS ATE MY BABYFUR | January 21, 2008 at 02:21 PM Wolf while there is deffenatly a lot of hate here and little deffence. Possibly baught? If you are realy out to get him and he truly is as bad as you all say just get some screen shots. Im sure you can come up with ways. and post then to one of blizzards owned sight with the link back to his father? I personaly don't want to see this happen as it put dear old dad in line of fire. Its not the father that is doing this, its the son. anyway as a buissness trying to keep good terms with the family market they will take notice. Now not this. That could be very bad legally to yo all and does nothing for proof of the sons wrong doing. to truly rsolve this problem you need real undisputted proof to start. after one or two cases. no mater the hipe he has People will start seeing through the smoke he has blown up htere keasters. Posted by: Wolf | January 21, 2008 at 08:31 PM Chimera For all his tall talk, its is very obvious that Mal has utterly no idea how to run a company functionally. I really do hope, that other talented builders will learn from this, and steer clear from him, or people like him. He cant be that high and almighty if no one will work or by hired from him ;) Posted by: Chimera | January 22, 2008 at 05:54 AM Anonymous wolf = maldavius or one of his pawns, judging by the spelling issues, I'd say it's a pawn, and that horrible spelling reminds me of one of his staff. :) Posted by: Anonymous | January 22, 2008 at 08:07 AM bawww I think the really frustrating part is Mal paints himself out to be the victim in each one of these senarios. I guarentee you he has all ready baaawwwwed about the unfairness of the situation to .....someone...if there is anyone left who is actually stupid enough to listen at this point. I swear to god if I hear one more person say "Oh....but he'd never do that to ME. Don't worry..I can handle him." I will vomit. I've never gotten close enough to really count, but how many people are "out to get" Mal now? How many people has he had to ban for "attacking" him? You'd think at some point even someone as mentally retarded as Maldavius would stop and do the math. If people who typically wouldn't want to stand in the same room together agree that you are a dick...guess what? You're probably a dick. And in this case...a theif and a liar as well. I think the lindons are doing a huge disservice by not permabanning this guy and disolving his company. If they DON'T make an example out of him there will only be more. I've seen it happen. Hell, they've seen it happen. You'd think they'd learn from their past mistakes. Posted by: bawww | January 22, 2008 at 10:03 AM Coyo Wingless retains copyright on her work; she could probably file a DMCA against Maldavius at this point if he continues to sell her work. IANAL. Posted by: Coyo | January 22, 2008 at 10:43 AM Anonymous lol DMCA in a fake world, yeah I'm betting lawyers are jumping all over that, and getting prepped to accept payment in moon money. Posted by: Anonymous | January 22, 2008 at 07:34 PM Anonymous @ bawww No kidding, they banned Tizzers Foxchase for much much less, and she was a nice person, not without her flaws. LL must love having complete jackasses on the grid. Mald is a furry, Mald tends to be vengeful, Mald has a daddy in the industry, and treats everyone like shit, even Lindens. He has chummed with /b/tards ad any group he sees he can gain from, etc. Tries to ruin people in SL and outside of SL, spies on EVERYONE for profit, even made weapons for griefers (namely to spy on them, but still made weapons that could crash sims) Has reportedly crashed a ton of Linden Sims out of anger. Has tried to get Lindens fired. Hated by everyone except those who are naive and want to make money. Broken every ToS violation and community standards imaginable. Back-stabbed Kalel Venkman, etc. Has disclosed people repeatedly in his attempts to ruin them, such as providing RL addresses to people within SL of other SL users, has been reported for such actions. Nothing happened. Tizzers, Human, chills with everyone just because. Cool with everyone, Doesn't back-stab, only made fun of people who made a huge stink over nothing like Prok and Kalel. Tended to go against the grain in SL, Made a naive mistake by visiting Kalel irl. Banned from SL for vague disclosures on an impossible date. Generally disliked by a lot of people due to hanging with /b/tards and former (reformed) PN. Has been reported on vague things, such as other mods in a group setting group names to something racist when she wasnt on SL for 2 weeks, and was banned right before she came back. and has been banned on "repeated disclosures" based on posting chatlogs with nothing incriminating other than another SL users' SL name in them. (quick! everyone stop talking to each other!) Yet Tizzers got permabanned. The most Maldavius has gotten, maybe an hour? The Lindens favor furries. Most Lindens are furries themselves. The problem isn't Maldavius, he's a symptom of a fucked up system. Welcome to Furcadia 2. Posted by: Anonymous | January 22, 2008 at 08:01 PM Sedary Raymaker "The Lindens favor furries." Haha! That's hilarious! That's why they don't add more attachment points or fix the problems with scultpy eyes. Amazing how you can list so many reasons for the favoritism, yet miss them all in favor of your preferred bigotry. Posted by: Sedary Raymaker | January 22, 2008 at 09:03 PM Anonymous Just because they dont fix attachment points or sculpty eyes doesnt mean shit, that's LL's laziness. This about when it comes down to dealing with people, on the governance level. Watch a furry do something that breaks the TOS, watch a "normal" person break them. Guess who will get banned first? oh right the "normal" person will be banned first, especially if they tell the furry to fuck off. :P It isnt bigotry, just something I've noticed since I started playing. Something I often see in other communities as well, and it isnt just the furry lindens, but the fact the lindens know if they ban a furry, about 5000 of his friends (and various sock puppets) will go off on whoever banned their friend. it isnt "bigotry" at all. Hell, I dont know how it's possible to be bigoted towards a non-existent species or subculture. Furries to me are nothing more than people with a fetish. If you were really animals, you wouldnt be baawwwwing over the internet about your rights. You probably wouldn't be aware of your existence. You'd be fighting for your lives in nature. Not mingling with people on the internet. Hell, most of us would prefer you fighting it out with nature instead of crying at people about intolerance because they dont want to yiff with you or wear a fursuit. Posted by: Anonymous | January 23, 2008 at 01:49 AM Witness D Sedary Raymaker "in favor of your preferred bigotry" I can almost smell the persecution complex. In b4 claims that furries are an authentic ethnicity. Posted by: Witness D | January 23, 2008 at 02:24 AM Anonymous Yes, Sedary Raymaker, clearly not adding more attachment points or fixing some problem with scultpy eyes is a sign of persecution for you poor, ignored, mistreated, furries *sarcasm*. Your stupidity is amazing. Posted by: Anonymous | January 23, 2008 at 02:30 AM shuk this is complete slander...ive worked with maldavius and as far as im concerned hes a solid guy. and everything above this line is obviously lame drama and should be ignored. Posted by: shuk | January 23, 2008 at 04:44 AM Malneedspixelsextolive First of all, Most Lindens are furrys---wtf? Being furry has nothing to do with anything... That's just annoying to bring up... Second, Mal is a major tard, I saw it a long time ago and nobody believed me. I turned him down for pixel sex and now whenever he sees me he cages/orbits/ and tells whatever griefer friends he's with that I <3 the penis and I'm a slut. Girls that don't type sexily to him are sluts. I really don't want any drama with him- I'm sick of it, it's why I ignore him whenever I run into him somewhere, or leave. I'm suprised with all of these people against him that more things are not done. The word needs to get out, and DSC must be stopped, this little child does not deserve to make any more money from other peoples creations and customers ignorance. I AR him everytime he griefs me, obviously it does not help but being quiet about it doesn't help either. but everybody here needs to stop bitching about him and shun him publicly. People are called crazy whenever he doesn't get his way, he has major control/power issues and more people will get fucked over by him and then they will turn against him, but I think all of the people that are acting like his friend---or being two faced in anyway, need to drop him completly no matter what the consequences, with any luck he'll kill himself. If you think that last sentence is harsh and uncaring, then you have never met him. Posted by: Malneedspixelsextolive | January 23, 2008 at 04:53 AM Full of WIN! "this is complete slander...ive worked with maldavius and as far as im concerned hes a solid guy. and everything above this line is obviously lame drama and should be ignored. Posted by: shuk | January 23, 2008 at 04:44 AM" Slander is spoken...when its in print its called Libel. You would know that if you weren't such a buttfucking tardo....Maldavius. Posted by: Full of WIN! | January 23, 2008 at 10:21 AM Doesn't Matter This guy is the reason SL should have stricter rules on shared content and a system in place for it. This guy makes himself look bad in obvious ways. And his lil furry supporters replying in here just shows how manipulative he really can be. Use your brains and not your mouth Posted by: Doesn't Matter | January 23, 2008 at 12:06 PM Jim Schack "I am glad to see the rest of the grid waking up to what a cancerous evil there is in Maldavius Figtree. Unmentioned in the article is his participation in the destruction of six of my sims after he brainwashed one of my staff into quitting BNT." You'd like to believe this. However, mind you of all the BS you were pulling that made me quit. Let's run down some of the crap, shall we? You claim Ancapistan is a model of anarcho-capitalism at work yet you have immigration and a police state that I have brought up to you many times as hypocritical. At SLCC you were introducing people as your "Number 2" jokingly as if i was your turd. Also when i offered to goto that restaurant and offered to pay, you decided it was a good idea to order a menu with cheese. To the dismay of our other guest, he was willing to help pay for all that food you ate because you didn't even offer to even though your meal accounted for 70% of the total check. You also put yourself in positions to get attacked by the PN by going on huge conspiracy theories about how the PN are Ashne Chung's personal army, the FBI, the IRS, Woodbury University's project with the Department of Homeland Security. You do the exact same things that you criticize Prokofy of doing that gets her targeted and you keep it up. Your constant hammering of me to get things done (i.e. payroll amongst many others) even when you are the roadblock for me doing it (i.e. payroll like not giving me the money to pay them) Your downright horrible PR that reflects on me and also my portfolio. When you gave me the stock option BNT was trading at .92 by the time i had enough of your shit it was at .19 But the real kicker, The one that made me say "that's it!", was that black mail you made to LL in the ad and manual for the Linden Scanner, and I quote; "NOTE TO LINDEN LAB: USE OF A LINDEN SCANNER IS NOT A BANNABLE OFFENSE. IT IS A PEACEFUL TOOL FOR LEGITIMATE LANDOWNERS TO GET THE HELP THEY HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR. IF THE CREATOR OF THIS DEVICE IS BANNED FOR TRYING TO HELP HIS FELLOW LANDOWNERS, HE WILL RELEASE ITS CODE OPEN SOURCE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, and LL WILL BE BURIED IN IMS FROM TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AVATARS AT A TIME. YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO END YOUR SCAM TO STEAL OUR SIMS AND DESTROY OUR BUSINESSES, GET OUT OF THE ESTATE BUSINESS, WE DO IT BETTER ANYWAYS." In no way am I defending Mald actions. I find it not only wrong but appalling to be honest. However, you are in no position to criticize anyone. ANYONE. You are the biggest POS I have ever came across in the Liberty Movement and I am ashamed you are one of us. see the blog entry I made about him how much of a scumbag this guy is. http://jimjesus.blogspot.com/2007/12/intlibber-brautigan.html Posted by: Jim Schack | January 23, 2008 at 03:45 PM Mal bless America Nah, his supporters are mostly griever wannabes, most of the furries doesn't even like his presense. I remember Maldy as guy who has claimed to crash the main grid multiple times, person who has scripted several interesting scripts alone or with his friends, like a script that could be hidden in hacked sexgen bed and if person clicks the blue agree button on the top, thinking it's the animate message, it will drain his L$ balance, or multiple plans of griefer tools or scripts that are against tos or are using the pig holes in them (Like uuid 'thief' script). A script kiddie who likes to think he's god (He has stated this multiple times). There's lots of dirt to toss about this guy, but I'm not really feeling like it, so I'll skip them.
