I thought this would be easy, but I got stumped too soon, so add to the list. These are things you should not say because they are socially awkward, a conversation killer, or outs the speaker as, teh noob. Basic "how to" questions should be excluded, because we all been there :)

I will start...

"Where are you from?"
"Can I have a copy of that?"
"Furries are gay."

"Are you a guy or a girl?"

"ASL?"

(This one was actually asked by someone who walked into my club) "Where's all the sex stuff?"

"Yur hawt"

I dunno about a top 10, but my top 3 things you should not say in-world would be :

3: "I'm an ageplaying zoo Gorean furry wizzard. I put on my magic wizzard's hat..."
2: "Can I shoot u?" (to a Linden, in a sandbox, whilst standing next to a 'no guns' sign. Dont laugh, this happened, I saw a screenshot, posted by that Linden...)
1: "Yeah I r 14, U?"

"I don't understand why my mom didn't want me to play this!"

"Dude, I saw sum cool stuff laying around and nobday was watching, but I couldn't take it? why cant you take stuffs thats unguarded."

"WHERE DA NAKED CHIX AT?"

"And i got banned, but I was just having fun, ya know, so , like made a whole bunch of new characteres an went right back and showd those pussies they couldn't stop me."

"if you give me your password, I can fix it so you get hundreds of lindens every day."

Hello, i'm new to this game so i just want to ask a few questions..

From: someone
"Where are you from?"

Why is this wrong? I can't think of a single online activity where people sooner or later want to know where you are from. Not nearly as annoying as 'asl' at least.

From: someone
"What's the point of this game?"

It seems like a reasonable enough question. 0_o Although from what i can see there isn't a single answer but when i first heard about the game in general i thought 'Sims 2 meets big online chatroom, whats the point'. I see with design and programming it can be whatever the creator wants, but its not that obvious when it is first described to you.

From: someone
Do you have skype

While probably annoying if you don't know someone, because its like nagging someone for their phone number, but whats so bad about asking people you know this?


... I guess it depends on why someone may want to 'play' this game. There doesn't seem to be a single answer for all people because from what i undestand on area can be completely different from another in what you are supposed to do. *shrugs*

Then again i haven't even left help island :D

First IM from someone:
"Will you spank me?"

In the middle of a Show and Tell:
"Where did you get the thing that makes it say "pervert" if I look up your skirt?"

To the Scripters group:
"Can I crash a sim with (function)?"

I was on at there.com a girl walked up to me and had a nice conversation and then "ASL" popped into her conversation.

And thats how I left that place for now.

"can you give me 200L for some hair I saw" (from another person in my hot tub)

"so, do you have any of those sex balls" (from the same guy above)

All from people that have had accounts less than 2 days lol.

ASL needs to be removed from this list for very good reason - ASL? is a bloody good thing to say in world. ASL stands for Academy of Second Learning.

The following ones spring to mind....

"Are you real or just a robot?" - that definitely made me think....I'm still not entirely sure whether I'm real or not.

"Can you lend me L$5000?" - nice try, but since I'd known the guy for about 1 minute it was perhaps a bit unlikely to succeed!

"Don't tell anyone, but I'm not supposed to be playing this...I'm only 14" - and this was said to me while I had a mentor tag on. It was hardly worth whispering, was it?

"I've built a toilet, do you want to see it?" - Well, most people start with a small house or a chair or something, but....you know...creativity is creativity.

"Whats the point of this game if you can't shoot people?" - Well, good point. I will uninstall it immediately and join the army.

And although "how do I...?" questions are not supposed to be part of this, the following two are probably to be treated as exceptions:

"How do I have fun?" - Never has such a wide subject been introduced with such a small sentense....

"How do I kill people?" - to which I answered "What, in real life or....?".
