I logged in today in Second Life to be greeted by a 7Seas Social Chat group discussion about fishing bots. The exchange of thought was surprising and it seems that most, if not all, are against the use of this fishing bot. I know sooner or later someone would come up with something like a fishing bot since fishing marathons are becoming a very common thing with 7Seas Fishing Game. In fact, I also run a daily fishing marathon at my place. Before, I would start the prize pot at 100L$ but I got broke so I had to changed it to an Open Prize Pot fishing marathon that is, if someone donates to the pot then the participants will get some prize money at the end. Of course, no one hardly donates so most fishers don’t fish at my marathon anymore except when there’s a substantial amount of linden dollars in the prize pot.
Some familiar names are on it like Sal, Skinny and Genevive! LOL! They are very popular indeed! 
Back to the fishing bot, after I logged off I immediately searched for this so called fishing bot and eventually I found it at [SLExchange]. The bot is actually an auto-fishing HUD called Fishing Helper HUD. Wow! Fishing Helper? I guess fishing is so hard for some people that they need a HUD to help them fish. Ha ha ha! This particular HUD will not work with the standard Second Life viewer. Nope! It needs an alternative Second Life viewer namely the RestrainedLife SL Viewer. Eversince Linden Labs made the viewer open source alternative viewers have surfaced and the RestrainedLife viewer is one of them. (more…)
