Sadly, not everyone can handle the burden (financial or otherwise) that may come with living a Second Life.

You know, Lillani, not one of the many charities which I support provides for those in less fortunate circumstances the ability to play games on the internet. Can you recommend a good one so that I may assist in alleviating this burden?

IMHO from what I have seen of SL....first of all if you dont give them (the whoever the LINDEN is anyway that actually owns all this and your avatars, equip, rights, etc ---read all the rules guys) the payment info on yourself, you are not going to have any cash in the SL game. So it is free lol lol so what, are you just going to fly around and gather free things you cant use like houses, trees, landscaping kits, textures, etc and BY THE WAY most of the "free" things are not free any longer. They cost a Linden dollar and though that is not much...IT IS NOT THEN FREE IS IT and its a lot if you dont have it lol lol. I personally feel that THE LINDEN that owns all this and your avatars, equip, copy rights, etc, has all of you right where they want you... in their pocket ...oh yeah. AND THIS IS THE ONLY GAME ON THE MARKET THAT will cost you and cost you and cost you because you not only pay for the monthly tier fee in order to buy land thats not worth it anyway, but anything you may fancy to buy you gonna pay for baby and eventually it goes all back to "the Linden" who also will NOT LET YOU INTO THE FORUMS NOW UNLESS THEY CAN BE SURE THEY HAVE YOUR PAYMENT INFO. WELL NOW, ain't that something to think about. I really think if you are fairly well off in RL then maybe this game is for you but I for one am not going to give ONE MORE RED CENT TO THIS GREEDY GAME. It is anyway IMHO just a place for porn of the worst kind since it is "ok" and "accepted" as long as you are in "mature" area. I also see no real purpose for the game except to rid each and every one of you of all the money the "Linden" can get out of you and in return provide you with a place to have all and any ideas allowed including the perverted sexual ideas blatelantly thrown on billboards all across the "SL Landscape". Oh yeah I do feel some of it is most assuredly perverted and yes it is my opinion so it is my right to voice it and your right not to read it....so why are you reading? Oh my yes arn't we wonderful that we will have universities in SL, give me a break people, "the Linden" again will be heading to the bank
. Oh yea and dont forget that this is your world hahahahahahah best laugh I havve had in a month. I dont care what you create or make "the Linden" owns it baby in the end.
FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WE WILL TAKE OURSELVES TO A GAME THAT ONLY COSTS US A MONTHLY FEE PERIOD...NO INGAME CASH NECESSARY AND NO PORN. YES i am leaving, I already canceled my account thank you and am so glad to be leaving but of course I saw no reason not to voice my own opinion like everyone else.

That's where you went wrong - it's not a game.

Are you going to leave that game called The World Wide Wide? It doesn't cost a monthly fee for access and has TONS more porn than SL.

Dearly Darling,

The Second Life Support Lotto does both. We have a grant program for talented players...scripters, artists and the like and have a monthly lottery for a Premium Memberhip and a 512 stipend to help buy First Land. Officers of the SLSL are not allowed to buy tickets. Lottery tickets are 25 Linden.

Those intersted in Grants send a notecard to Maneo Suntzu, the Recording Secretary, with a FULL outline of your proposal. These are gone over by the Board of Directors who decide which grants are given.


Donations are always welcome. It does not matter which charity you choose to give funds to...ALL charities are important.

It you wish to have a notecard with a detail of our finances to make an informed decision just let me know. Our donor list is private. Only Linden given will be shown in that account. We have four separate accounts In-world to keep projects funds from co-mingling.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger
Treasurer SLSL

Paragraphs. Learn to love them. Its really the best advice I can give you as you leave for some non-SL related place.

Dear Mrs. Showdog,

Will I receive a shoddily put together token-of-your-appreciation prim as an example of the progress you are making with your efforts? Perhaps, a picture of baby Jesus crying or a recipe for apple pie?

Thank you,
Ms. Mfume

Dearly Darling Ms. Mfume,

No. Our group takes pride in our professionalism as well as our programs. The last commission piece I did (all the funds I make doing artwork and the like here goes to charity) can be seen in the atrium of the Metaverse Messenger Building in Sido.

I'm very glad to help good causes. The last RL charity fund raising program I helped with made over 5 million USD for an educational institution.

Personally, I'm not into iconic worship...but I do have a great apple pie recipe.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger

Dear Mrs. Showdog,

Not even a vision of the virgin Mary in a face of a basic prim? :(

Sadly,

Dearly Darling Ms. Mfume,

I shall make just for you mind you....your very own icon. How about the "Transfiguration of Christ?" For your non-Christian or atheist avatar friends you can just say it's Mr. P.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger

Just to make sure I get it straight, the original post went:

Wah, Wah, whine, whine, I don't want to have to pay for SL, but I want to get money for free, some more whining, I don't even want to spend L$1 to help out someone that's giving stuff away with their rent (wait.. how much is a lindenbuck worth these days?1/3 of a cent, or something?), Wahhh wahhh, notice me, notice me, NOOOOOtice MEEEEE, you guys suck, I'm going home.

That's about it, yah?
Fair synopsis?

Just checking I read it right.

I'm sorry to read about peoples' negative experiences in Second Life, however when such posts are grammatical/spelling/punctuation train wrecks, they make me giggle a bit..

I can just picture the woman sitting in front of her computer chair, her face all red and flustered, her head twiching in uncontrollable spasms of indignation every 5 seconds. A frown of injustice and self-pity streaks her face and she pounds the keyboard as hard as her vienna sausage fingers will allow.

She shakes her head as she recalls the injustices done to her.. the only thing now on her mind is to type as fast and as incoherently as possible before she might accidentally forget one of her important points of flawed logic. Enter key? Tab key? No time for such!

Finally after minutes pass, she takes a pause to read back her last line of English language bastardization which she believes is the cornerstone thesis sentence of her post. A sigh as she is moved by her own elegant ignorance. Enough rest already, it's time to resume ham-handing those plastic keyboard chicklets so that she can finally inform the world of her nonsensical grievance. Without skipping a beat, she shoves the approaching cat off the corner of her computer desk with the back of her hand. Not now Mr. Fluffenstein, not now.

A few more minutes goes by, and the beads of sweat slowly begin to collect across the large expanse of her receding-hairline brow. Her hand slides across the top of her head, pushing down the oily strands of randomly uneven hair that have been springing up with every angry slam of the CAPSLOCK key. With a sharp exhale, she finally clicks the "Submit" button. A pause, a close of the eyes, and then she gets up to begin her journey to the kitchen. A half-pint of Haagen-Dazs will wash away all the pain.. all the pain..

:D Her missing the big picture part is in not understanding that while companies may be concerned about losing a paying customer, she does not qualify as one.
