OMG Durova has lost her mind!!!!!!!, She plays Zoo World on Facebook ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT!!! Options

[Obesity]

I confess I have no idea if Durova still participates in WP, Commons and other Wikimedia projects. I don't really hang around those places anymore.

But I am on Facebook a lot, where Durova is one of my finest friends.

She is playing that pointless Zoo World game MORNING, NOON and NIGHT and assailing her friends with arcane and meaningless status updates.

Today almost every one of my friend updates was from Durova, and EVERY ONE of Durova's updates was about ZOO WORLD:

Lise just trained her Bald Eagle to do the "Play dead" trick!
Now she can attract even more visitors to her zoo!

Lise is racing a Gyrfalcon and needs your help!
Lise needs your help to win! Everyone shares speed prizes and gains mastery. Only 20 more miles to go!

Lise has speed stones to share!
Lise's bald eagle, Samantha, just beat Cassia in a race and collected a new speed stone. Some things are best when shared with friends.

LOL, "speed stones". sound liek crystal meth. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Lise is away and their new baby American Alligator needs food. Oh my!
Lise's American Alligator was born just 9 hours ago. She is cold, lonely, and will get sick soon without any food. Baby wants to grow up big and strong some day and just needs a little help getting started.

Lise has a baby Gorilla separated from its mother. Oh My!
Lise just received a Mom and Baby Gorilla from the Wildlife Care Network.

Lise is away and their new baby Great-Horned Owl needs food. Oh my!
Lise's Great-Horned Owl was born just 25 hours ago. She is cold, lonely, and will get sick soon without any food. Baby wants to grow up big and strong some day and just needs a little help getting started.

Hm. Well it's kind of loading but buggy. [Here Durova comments about how her Zoo World game is not loading properly]

Zoo World irony: my Facebook portrait was taken at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. [Durova makes a half-hearted attempt to correlate her Zoo World madness with external reality]

These were all from the past 24 hours.

DUROVA'S GONE ZOO WORLD CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wut does this have to do with a deep critique of the Web 2.0?

ummmm, well maybe some1 could say something abt how playing zoo world may be pointless, but at least it doesnt harm anyone liek Wikipeeeeeeedia.

Ummm. This is a bio-clock syndrome in women of a certain age, ya know. Known treatments are to adopt a pair of small dogs and half a dozen cats. Or two children from Haiti.

The electronic version appears unholy and unwholesome, but it might be better than nothing. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif)

It is easy to argue that Wikipedia itself is actually just an online game, with the theme of "write an encyclopedia" set up in a way so that the "editors" can fight out their personal issues with various allies and opponents. I think Catherineyronwode (T-C-L-K-R-D) sums that view of WP rather well on her user page.

If that is correct, there is not surprising that WP users also play other online games.

The main difference between WP and other online MMPORGs is that on WP you can develop your skills at corrupting the integrity of the game.
