Protecting Our Asses

Nurse Rosie is on duty 24/7, but she has difficulty covering three sims.

She suggests we place First Aid kits in convenient locations.

Protecting Our Asses

Long ago our virtual attorneys advised us to protect ourselves against litigious avatars by providing our own insurance policy—and so Whimsurance was born.

“You don’t actually have to _pay_ any claims,” the lawyers told us. “Just exclude everything.”

You can buy your very own Whimsurance policy on Whimsy from the sign near the temple to Pele and underwater from the signs near the lava beds. On Whimsy Kaboom, you’ll find a Whimsurance dispenser in the admissions office. For only ten Lindens you can rest assured you’ll be covered from all dangers (just don’t presume to make a claim).

We’ve taken additional pains to protect our visitors so they can’t sue our asses.

* Lots of regions give away hard hats while they’re under development, but ours are perpetually available. You can get your free Whimsy hard hat near our giant granite bobbing bird (who is, appropriately enough, named Bob, because he does). On Kaboom, you’ll see the hard hat on the reception desk at the Robot Sanatorium at 3500 meters.

* We offer free protective thermal boots so avatars won’t get burned up wading in the molten lava. You can find yours on the platform near the train’s second stop or near the lava bed at the volcano Pele.

* Because our train runs much of its route underwater, we provide free SCUBA gear so avies don’t drown.

And we’re now considering a Whimsy first aid kit.

I’ll be listing the contents soon on this blog. For now, I’d love to hear suggestions from my readers for first aid gear, medications, protective garments, surgical instruments, and other things that should be included in Whimsy’s first aid kit.

That's a bat over my left shoulder. But the eyes!

This is still the most common way to expire on Whimsy
