Metaverse to be fairly unbalanced October 26, 2008
by Idoru Wellman, staff writer
You still love it, hate it, and wrap your virtual fish in it -- there's just no avoiding the Second Life Herald. Is it any surprise that once again, the SLebrity event of the season is the Herald birthday celebration?
As is our tradition, once a year, the most important, independent, iconoclastic, and idiosyncratic news source in teh metaverse takes a break from covering the new media with our incomparable un-biased, un-filtered, and fairly unbalanced virtual world coverage to celebrate. This year the party is Sunday, October 26th in Shivar sim at 2 pm SL time.
Join us at the Herald's 5th birthday party as we turn the giant SL drama pump up to 11, then meet 'n greet muck raking reporters, sex-crazed virtual militia leaders, jaded editors, reformed griefers, Linden-sponsored unreformed G team griefers, gamblers, post 6 Grrrls, goons, Post 6 Guys, and Philip Linden's secret cross dressing alt.*
* some limitations apply - your mileage may vary - do not use while operating heavy machinery - past performance is not a guarantee of future returns - may cause hives, sweating, euphoria, post traumatic stress syndrome, heart palpitations, sudden fainting - consult your physician before visiting.
Happy Birthday SL-Herald, you were one of the highlights of my Second Life experience when I used to play it. I will still drop by every now and again over your next 5 years too see how the world is still being fucked up by the G-Team.

Happy b-day, Herald! I'll try to make it, but no promises, as I'll be recovering from game #3 of the world series. and Marilyn, it is a Herald party - of course there will be nudity!

Since when, dear Mari, have you needed an excuse to get naked?
I have been reading this rag since Alphaville. Yes, I am a sucker for punishment. But I'm also a big fan of nudity.
Happy Birthday

Paranoids amongst Herald readers may also wonder if the fifth anniversary may also presage mysterious revelations. Fans of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series will remember that Hari Seldon, the now-dead "hidden hand" of the Foundations made a video appearance at certain intervals over hundreds of years. Each time he would astound people by his predictions of what had happened and what was to come for the citizens of the galaxy.
Perhaps the "Herald Vault" will be opened and secrets revealed. Who is who? Which Herald personality is an Alt for Uri? Is Uri really the Seldonesque manipulator of the metaverse? Is Pix an Alt for Philip Linden? Are we all, in fact, one person!?
Or am I perhaps letting my imagination run wild. After all, there are no secret conspiracies in Second Life, are there?
