This
is where hotel really shined.. it was remembered
most for the number of bugs we encounted during
our years there. Glitch-wise, Hotel Silicon
members discovered everything we may do today,
accidental or not.
In Hotel, we
had an item type that has since vanished from
all VZones worlds... the document. It was
originally a newspaper that you could write
in, but other graphic versions appeared here
and there. A bug was found which allowed the
holder of the original to create duplicate
'document balls'. The balls could not be used
as documents, but they made nice knicknacks...
oh, and they pawned for 10T.
The Dupe: A very important event of Hotels
history, the dupe was a time when members
were able to duplicate actual inworld items
using a clumsily placed table in the vendo.
You would place an item on to the table (still
in the vendo), then you would buy exactly
what was displayed in the vendo.. including
the item you placed on the table. In effect,
duplicating the item for a mere 2000T. 2000T
was a fortune in those days... but soon enough,
tokens were being duplicated too... meaning
Billions would be the average amount in most
avatar's pockets.
An easy mistake for the management to make,
especially if they have never encounted such
a bug before... however, no one really could
explain why they took well over a month to
remove the table from the vendo. It was madness.
This happened quite alot... the wall fell
off and landed on the avatars. This happened
in front of a pretty large crowd at the regular
paint party, hosted by Claudette. Apparently,
this was a cause of the unbearable lag experienced
that day... so the paint party was postponed.
We did get something for the inconvenience
however.. little hearts called "Lag Monster"
hehe <g>
An old bug that allowed to you stand on someones
head.
The flyaway bug from early Hallway.
For a while, the first
room was always buggy in Hotel Silicon turfs...
see the gray patch?
