I’ve found a bounch of pyramides near a good frequented club, and this time the text in the pyramides still worked.

So, just for the reading pleasure (and to be complete) – here is the text:

Dear Moneymaker,

So, you want to make money, and lots of it.

You have come to the right place.

It is really simple :

1) Right click on the pryamid and choose „pay“.
2) Pyramid will appear in your inventory.
IMPORTANT: The Pyramidt you get has not been validated, and will not work yet!!!

3) Drag and drop the Pyramid on the ground near the original and touch your copy .
4) Click yes to the money question which will activate the Pyamid. (If you do not press yes, the object will not work,
this is needed to distribute the money that will be payed to the object).

5) If everything has been done correctly, the following text will apear above your object:

„How to make money (touch me).“

This means you now have a working version of The Pyramid.

6) Delete the copy of the Pyramid in your inventory while the actual Pyramid is on the ground. (not nescecary, but the one in your inventory is useless, unless you validate it).

Take the validated Pyramid with you and place is somewhere where a lot of people will come.

Here is how it works:

After you have validated it, people can pay your pyramid L$20.
Everytime someone does that, YOU get L$5 and they get a copy of the pyramid and have to go through the same steps as you have.

If that person also places their pyramid somewhere and another person pays L$20, he/she gets L$5 and YOU get L$10.

Just sit back, relax and make money.

Please remember: DisQ Hern is not selling those pyramides anymore, in fact you can get a device in his shop for free to disable littered pyramides anywhere without being the owner of the object nor being the landowner.

• CNNmoney.com has an interesting interview with John Zdanowski about the Linden Dollar. It’s from the 8th December 2006, but still worth a read.
• Also in CNNmoney.com, from the 10th November 2006 actually: „No, Second Life is not overhyped.“
• Packagingessentials.com – I am linked there as an „expert source“ under the category „3d graphics“, „virtual reality.“ Well. A big welcome to all readers from over there!
• An older report in the German magazine „Focus“ named „Neue Freunde, guter Sex, echtes Geld.“
• More to come next time…

Don’t we all know it? The famous „Pyramid system“, which brings many people to litter other people’s sims with it in the hope to make some cheap money without much or no effort at all?

Every time I see this type of garbage I want to barf. Some people just need to grow a brain, somewhere, somehow – and very fast, too!

Those types of schemes are not working! Not yesterday, not today, or tomorrow! No, no, never!

The only people making money with it are in the 1st and 2nd level of the pyramid actually, the rest gains nothing. Nothing at all, well, not really true, perhaps they gain anger and want to kick themself in the ass for being so dumb to actually pay money for such kind of rubbish!

If you don’t want to believe it, well, take a very close look to the article about pyramide scheme in the Wikipedia. If you still want to pay money for such a scheme and are not in the 1st or 2nd level of it actually – well, better read it again.

Actually such schemes are a violation of the Terms of Services of Lindenlab. So littering such a thing makes you a receptive for a Abuse Report.

Well, at least the author Disq Hern got the message, he’s not selling these pyramides anymore since the mid of December 2006. You can get now a device for free at his shop, called „Pyramid stopper“, to get rid of this rubbish even when you are not the land owner or tenant of a parcel. Just go and grab it in his shop at Insula Inferi West.
