Streets could be named after gambling havens like Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Wall Street, or perhaps after games of chance like poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, and stock market.

Jesus! This whole ticket lottery is more like a non affluent family being able to afford some ice cream for desert on some special occasion where it’s rationed out oh so carefully to each family member. What percentage of the whole are actually scammers? What happened to the idea that if you want a ticket, you get on your computer the moment they go on sale and buy one. And can you really weed out the ones who intend to resell their ticket? I have a feeling that many scammers from last year ended up sitting their product because their price was too high. Hopefully many of them can’t afford to do that again this year. They were all over ebay and craig’s list even during the event. I’m sorry, there are just some things you cannot control. When I want to see some music event that I know will sell out, I’m waiting until that second they go on sale and I seem to do just fine. Beyond that, what are the costs to run this system where you are sitting on so many people’s c/c info that won’t even be used? Now there is a huge liability as well. Hackers seem to find their way into anything with financial info. I like to get my info in, get the transaction done and get out. As a ticket buyer, one is a tax payer of Black Rock City. So me, as a taxpayer of Black Rock City, don’t like my hard earned tax dollars going to experimental projects that can potentially become disastrous.

This fertility window is about 10 days long. Yowza.

By any account Black Rock City itself is running at least version 3.3.1 Beta (stable), DPW and the Man finally went 4.0 last year, Opulent Temple is already on release 10.1.3 of it’s now OPEN SOURCE (congratulations guys!) platform, and many of the new theme-camps aren’t even coming out to the playa without at least having begun Alpha testing beyond their v1.0 releases. The Thunderdome, sadly, is the only prominent feature that hasn’t been updated during the last decade and is still running v1.1 with the post-goth patch.

In light of the above, I would like to request that unit C3P-LarryHarvey (human BMORG relations) make a statement regarding why it is only the theme that bears the updated moniker and try to get him to give us some indication of when the iBurn 5s debut!!!

Seems appropriate, to me, considering we don’t know if we will be able to participate, or not, yet…
