The New Jessie War Journal has been in operation at least since last November, but I only discovered it recently, thanks to a pointer from Nexii Malthus. For that matter, that's the first time I learned there was a sim of the same name [SLurl teleport here], named after the legendary Jessie war sim of Second Life's early era. It's pretty well-written and worth a look if you're interested in the combat roleplay groups of SL, like the Spartans I wrote about several days ago. Another social curiosity: It contains long, excessively detailed, vehement accounts of interpersonal drama between various feuding squaddies. The phenomena known as "SL drama" is generally associated with fashionistas, but that turns out to be somewhat unfair, since as it turns out, even Second Life space commandos get the SL drama blues.

wow, now I know i have no life since i read the long vehement feud report and loved it. Course I am a fashionista so perhaps that explains. Thanks for pointing us to it, Ham.

It's the combat community. Some people enjoy the pew-pew, and others enjoy writing 25 pages on why the guy shooting is Hitler in real life. As long as everyone's having fun, as far as I'm concerned, that's what counts. And I know I am!
At any rate, thanks for mentioning us, and it's an honor to be noted on this fine blog. It was the writings on Jessie here that got me interested in rebuilding it in some form in the first place.
