Top Things NOT to Say in World

So what are you trying to say Philip?

hehe sorry, couldn't resist.

Yeah. No questions about my alts. If I want you to know about them, I will tell you about them. Otherwise you can assume tnat I'm a unique individual, unconnected to others.

In a club not long after I started SL-

I have a penis, do you have a "pussy" would you like to screw? -after I don't answer- He replies, all this in open chat, So would you?


On my land-

Me: Can I help you?
Them: No just looking around
Me: This is private land, a residence, could you please leave
Them: Oh okay, can I look in your house?
Me: Um, No.
Them: Why not?
Me: Because I don't know you.
Them: But we will get to know each other now
ME: EJECT

LMAO, i've had both thos e situations happen now, i let my security system hand the wanderers, usually ejects people once they are at the perimeter of my house, i try to leave the water way open for other residents of the sim.

never understood what was the appeal of wandering into people's private residences, all these public places to see and they want to venture into my beach house? wtf? like i'm going to invite them to move in

This happen when a friend TP'ed me to the place where she and this dickhead were hanging out.

ME, IM: This dude is an asshole.

Friend, Open Chat: He's an Asshole?

Me, IM: Your talking in open chat!

Friend, Open Chat: He knows he's an asshole.

Me, Open Chat: Jeeez, lol

Dickhead, Open Chat: I'm leaving now.

hahahha, had that happen before only it was more like

What's/does ASL mean?

I like those bananaphone things, make fun shooting targets.

Had some guy the other day, he was walking around with his new penis "come on baby touch it and its yours"

"come and chill out with me up here" follow him to beach, with no pose balls etc, "come one then lets fuck" *rollseyes*

actually had somone tell somone else they owned my land and built all that was on it.

noob 1: wow nice house
noob 2: yeah i am still building it
noob 1: oh cool
noob 1: do you own this land
noob 2: yes i own it all and built everything you see here.
Nodster Tardis: O.o
noob 2: shut up or i will ban you
noob 1: why
Nodster Tardis: because he knows i own this land and i am also the creator of the house
noob 2: no you dont!

at that point he was ejected from the land by some unforseen circumstance
oh how i love that eject

i then proceeded to tell noob 1 how to check the creator and owner of land and objects.

surprised he didnt try selling the land as well maybe i should have let it continue a little longer ROFL.

it's ok phillip er sorry steve your secret is safe with us rofl

OK,so I'm relatively new,into my 4th week,in that time I've bought land,spent a lot of time building a small club thats almost ready to launch,started 2 groups and am now teaching myself to make waterfalls,planters etc,my point being...I AM A NOOB...and I am making an effort to join in the community of s/l and do the things that I get enjoyment from,one of those things is interaction with others,but my god you people make it hard.

While some things said and done in game and pointed out here are ridiculous and rude ,others being referred to are fair enough.

Whats wrong with just saying HI and leaving it that?...I have a neighbour who from her attire,I gather is a furrie,she/he has been watching me work for some days on one of my parcels (from a distance),yesterday she/he walked down and started doing something next to me so I just said HI,I didn't want a dialogue,it's called being polite...and I carried on working,much as I would in r/l walking past someone in the street early morning to get my paper.

Whats wrong with asking how something is done?...why not share your knowledge with others?
While I can understand a scripter or something wanting to keep his new script secret,if your just making a shape and someone wants to know how it's done whats the big deal?
Personaly I prefer to experiment and find out for myself,but others don't have my patience or just plain don't get it,why not help them?
I have a friend (found in s/l),who went to a sandbox to practice,as she was practicing she became confused and needed a little help,when she asked a question as to what she was doing wrong she was yelled and derided by the supposed adults around her...so much for community....this has upset her deeply and rightfully so,what an appalling way to behave from so called adults.

Whats wrong with asking ASL?....you don't have to reply and it's not like they asking for a second life state secret...or are you paranoid they are gonna find out your a guy posing as a girl or vice versa....or their gonna come get ya in r/l because you told them your a skirt wearin tranny from neptune with 3 dicks and one brown eye,personaly,be you male or female I like to know who I'm talking to....for myself I've never asked anyone their ASL,I don't care what you are ,I treat people as they treat me and I'm fairly intuitive,but if anyone asked me I'd tell them....it's plain good manners.

Yesterday I was in a store and needed a question answered concerning a product,now I've spent what amounts to 100 real life aussie dollars in this store in my short time in s/l,I saw an individual with store owner written over his bonce screwin about so I politely asked if he was the owner of this particular establishment just to be sure before I plied him questions about several products I was interested in....I was completely ignored,the guy simply turned around and walked away to another part of the store ,needless to say that attitude had me teleporting to another store and spending my money there,cost me more but the customer service was a much higher standard.

So, from a noobie point of view,second life would appear not as community,but a collection of individuals carrying on with the same bad manners and appalling attitude they do in r/l.
Wec are supposed to be adults,and should conduct ourselves as such,behaviour such as the examples above in game and further posts in a forum deriding and pointing fingers at others for silly (supposed) errors in judgement they may have made do not encourage people to stay and stunts growth,try to be a little friendlier,you may be surprised at the results.

"Plastic says Hi."

(not plastic)

That's great. Most importantly I hope you're having fun.

You're right, there is nothing wrong with that situation, I've done it to. I say hello to every person who walks into the club or the store (well when i'm not off working in another window and ignoring stuff) What people are referring to here mostly is the habit of sending someone an IM because you want to ask them something, like when a customer IMs a store owner, and just saying "hi" and then not explaining further. I get the occasional offline IM from people with nothing but "hi" in it and I have no clue who they are or why they are contacting me. You wouldn't call the wallmart helpline for instance and leave a message on their answering machine saying just "hi".

My feeling is there is nothing wrong with asking how something is done as long as you understand that if you're asking the person while they are actually doing it, they may be too focused on the work to give you an in depth answer.

Because the only time I personally have been asked that, it leads into the next question which is inevitably some variation of "wanna cyber?".

Actually what's more likely is that this person wasn't the owner of that particular store and was only another shopper. He was probably either too focused on looking at the displays that he didn't see your question or he just didn't care enough to answer. It's easier to find out who the store owner is by checking the owner name on the items in the store.

The other explanation of the "store owner" is that they were one of the recent scammers that have been portraying themselves as owners and offering discounts... then not providing the goods. It may just be if you had intelligent questions they thought they were found out and were making a get away.

For me it's never something SAID, it's something done. Every now and then someone just comes and sits in one of my cars. They just sit there like i won't care they're riding along.

so usually I get out and pick up the car. The best thing to do is leave an empty car and watch them try to sit in it. It shouts "F'CKOFFFFF!!" I love it.

"Insert Name: you got skype ?"

and

"Insert Name: hay sexy"

"I saw something really great in the forums today"

what not to say "I saw your post on the forums and i agree."

My reply "If you havn't noticed, I've got over 1,750 posts... Please be more specific!"

A thing not to say: "How much will you give me for some names , addresses, and credit card card numbers?".

What definately not to say.....This conversation took place today......

Man: Hi
Vera: Hello
Man : I'm a virgin
Vera:.........
Man: Can we f*ck?
Vera: No
Man :Why not I'm new and I want to experiment
Vera: No means no
At that point we wandered off....Now that ladies is a great opener to any conversation.....lmao

Sometimes I ask where someone is from if it appears that they are having difficulty communicating in English. I can sometimes communicate with them in their primary language if that's easier for them. Of course, when they say "California" then I realize I can't really help them.

What's the problem? He said "Hi" and you replied with a "Hello," meaning that you initiated the sexual advance. You dirty dirty tease.

I personally don't see any issue in asking where someone is from, in a general sense. There are two big reasons for doing so: determining what time zone someone is in to provide context to a conversation, and determining what the native language is of the speaker. Not to mention that its a conversation icebreaker.

Those that prefer to keep their RL location a secret still have a littany of witty responses back if they'd rather not share: such as "I'm from Earth.", or "That's classified."

Pressing for the information after someone has declined - now that's tacky.

Well smack me around with a wet kipper, so I did....just call me tease from now on...lol
