CCS is one of several systems in SL that provide combat. CCS (community combat system), is one big one. Other include, but this is not a complete list: DCS, 'RPS', 'RCS', 'TCS', 'RPCS', 'Carnage Island Combat' 'XCS', 'Pure Combat', 'BattleZone', BNWCS, 'Gorean Ladder Meter', URCS and HCS, etc.

And, sure, the accusation being made was that they got in due to "friends". The problem is, there are two **much** easier ways to do it. 1) set up your own sim for CCS, which *requires* that you have people picked out to provide such services. 2) Create a new character, so you GM when on as that character, but not as your normal one. Which is rare, but could happen. And, the point was, the person whining about it didn't have any facts, they just got annoyed that what ever set of sims they where on put someone as a GM that early. But, there are like 300+ sims that run the system, at least, and **most** of those have as much as 2-3 sims per "world". In other words, there may be 300 sims, but there are probably also *at least* 200 independent, non-overlapping, "worlds" defined by them, each unique for the person running them, each excluding everyone else, etc.

This person basically went on a global channel, used for handling non-local, database, or other issues, to whine about someone being made a GM where ever they where, and for all anyone reading the rant knew, that might have been one single, lone, sim, with no connection to any other part of the vast number of CCS worlds.

Basically, it is a bit like if someone showed up at the forums for the *original* SMAUG, to complain that someone else's mud, running on that code base, was, "unfairly making people GMs after only 3 months!".
