If something should happen to you in RL, how will your SL friends know?
I made a “death list,” so if Los Angeles falls into the Pacific, as we all expect to happen, and as some are eagerly anticipating to happen, then Max Case will safely assume I am dead and alert my SL buds.
In turn, when I receive the high sign that Max has met his maker, I will post a sensitive forum message that says, “Max Case is dead; long live Max Case.”
Do you have a game plan?

Wait a minute. I thought the whole purpose of Second Life was so that if anything happened to you in Real Life, you wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing.

No. But I keep intending to make a list of my games (all two of them right now) and other places and the passwords to them and instructions to my family as for what to do.

No plan yet, but now I'm doing it. Faking my own death. Logging on as my alt and staging my own SL funeral!

I think there's an opening in the corner next to some guy named Phil. I am putting the finishing touches on the ST. Louis Cemetary #1 in the Big Easy. That said, I'm looking for tomb plaques to give the place the added immersion it needs. If you would like a final resting place please make a donation (at least $150L) for the Disaster Relief effort in world and submit your epitaph; name, dob-dod, witty prologue to lecktor_hannibal at yahoo dot com. You may also submit a texture for your plaque if you like. /108/e3/64125/1.html |

I had a dlimema a while back.. I got an IM saying someone in one of my groups (which I was the only officer of) had died..
I really wasn't sure what to do, whether they wanted me to remove them from the group, or whether they were just letting me know. If so would kicking them out seem insensitive? Its a tough situation.. I think I left them in the end.. _____________________

I fully intend to die while in-world and to do so in a dramatic public spectacle of immense proportions involving such a high degree of danger and self-humiliation that nobody would even dare assume I could have survived the act in real life.

Hmm. This would make a great event. It may possibly even beat Tringo. |

After I die, Tony Clifton will show up in Ahern, do an act, and everyone will wonder. Later on it will be uncovered that it was just Arito in disguise.

You are in SL in a sim at a party talking to a friend and there are over a hundred avatars in the room. Suddenly your friend disappears and half the avatars in the room flicker and pop offline. You go out to the living room and turn on the TV and find out that a meteor has slammed into downtown Las Vegas! could happen _____________________

I intend to live forever, but for you mere mortals, it's simple enough to put a provision in your will asking that someone notify your online friends.

Here's a creepy scenario... You are in SL in a sim at a party talking to a friend and there are over a hundred avatars in the room. Suddenly your friend disappears and half the avatars in the room flicker and pop offline. You go out to the living room and turn on the TV and find out that a meteor has slammed into downtown Las Vegas! could happen Not likely - I live in Las Vegas and can assure you that Downtown is such a fucking hole that the meteor would impact safely far below the level that most people live, and the blow would be cushioned by the large amount of bullshit the City Council generates. KVBC Channel 3 would likely be destroyed -- for me that would be cause to continue dancing to celebrate. _____________________

I just felt i should post here, but really, i have nothing to contribute.
I'm gambling on consciousness uploads in the next few decades, so maybe all this death list talk will be meaningless. Then I can haunt SL. _____________________

After I die, Tony Clifton will show up in Ahern, do an act, and everyone will wonder. Later on it will be uncovered that it was just Arito in disguise. You know, my avatar forum tag said "Tony Clifton" for months, and no mentions 2 weeks after I change it, he has been mentioned in 3 threads. In a related note, last week a friend of minds friend died and they held services for her over the weekend. The only way he knew was because the womans Son was in SL too. I was actually going to inquire to LL about some kind of death clause/notice, and ask them to donate a sim as a memorial park where tributes of fallen Avatars can remain for good. We are all going to die, and while thankfully, not common, I know of a few people who were in SL and who have since passed. And no griefers who get perma banned while nuking the grid do not get memorials _____________________
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

And no griefers who get perma banned while nuking the grid do not get memorials This would be both a nice gesture and I'd think greatly enhance SL's mythos. Imagine saying, meet at Cubey Terra's memorial to group up for some aerial dog fighting. Also, I'd bet for some it could even make hauntings in the metaverse more believable. Those that have passed on in real life, who spent a large number of hours in SL, might just have more of a earthly tie to their virtually grave than the real one. |

If I died my ghost would haunt Mistress Midnight every night in her sleep until she got the point and posted my death.

I know if I died, I would not want or need anyone to remember me. I would much prefer to be forgotten about, that way those in existence could move on.
