Second SL

Looking for an anchor 5 saw something very funny in strange place. Advertised as pirates ships and sea battle games Siege Guild offers all kinds of exploding barrels and bear traps.
(Interactive battles! Plunder and sink for real!!!)

How nice! But suddenly 5 came across a miniature landscape, in quite primitive shapes with a miniature medieval ship in a pool!
This is Second Life in Second Life! Playing the Lindens in the Linden world. 5 could think of mind boggling possibilities: you could ask Linden-Linden dollars to rent this ship, so LL$....
In this square of Second Life squared a battle would rage if it was allowed to gamble, or wager! Because the LL$ is at the moment not yet linked to the real $, it would be possible. Miniature slot machines would appear on this battleship which would provide a relief for the avatars accustomed to spending enormous amounts of money on the virtual slot machines which disappeared miraculously from SL.
Other features would fit in: you would be released from the bear trap sooner if you paid quickly a few LL$. The owner of Siege Guild would be rich fast, only his richness would consist of money which is only to be spend in his miniature kingdom. As soon as he linked his LL$ to the L$ which is linked to the $, the laws which apply to the state where the servers are situated would apply to the Second Life of the Linden would apply to the miniature kingdom of Siege Guild. So the microscopic slot machines would be banned, just like his big brothers and sisters. The miniature economy of Siege Guild would change dramatically from casino financed to selling microscopic miniature worlds inside the miniature world. In this SSSL’s for a moment or two, slot machines would be allowed and the economy would blast it’s way forwards.

So not only “Plunder and sink for real” in the virtual world but also layers of economies and whole geologies of laws applying down from one world on the other.
PS very nicely textured balloons in the neighbourhood!
