The Feted Inner Core (also known as the Fetid Inner Core) is a conspiracy theory that exists among certain residents Second Life. It is an argument that certain groups of players use their relationship with the staff of Linden Lab, the game providers, to obtain favours that advantage their in-game businesses at the disadvantage of others'. Since businesses within Second Life can be run for real-world money - the game's currency, Linden Dollars, has a maintained exchange rate with the US dollar - this is considered a significant danger.

  • The Feted Inner Core (also known as the Fetid Inner Core) is a conspiracy theory that exists among certain residents Second Life. It is an argument that certain groups of players use their relationship with the staff of Linden Lab, the game providers, to obtain favours that advantage their in-game businesses at the disadvantage of others'. Since businesses within Second Life can be run for real-world money - the game's currency, Linden Dollars, has a maintained exchange rate with the US dollar - this is considered a significant danger. The majority of residents of Second Life are unaware of the existence of the theory; many others believe that it is simply incorrect, and of those that believe it there are perhaps as many different interpretations of the criteria for inclusion of people as FIC as there are believers. Some believe that some players are favoured by Linden Lab but have earned this through hard work and providing good services; others acknowledge this but still considered it to be a bad thing on the grounds that favouring those who have worked hard in the past may discourage others from working hard in the future (since the favours are already gone). Others believe it to be literally correct. Some players are offended by it, and some satiricially embrace it; a "FIC" website has been created bearing a logo, and badges showing the logo have been worn by some players in-game and displayed at some invents.
