This isn't a "name your favorite SLer/Linden" thread.

I simply want to know who you think is such a part of SL that it'd just be weird not seeing them/hearing about them. (Lindens don't count, because I know you'd all put Philip).

I don't think 'weird' is the right word for that one.

I think SL would be weird without the "spam" Lindens. Jeff, Lee, Char, David, Michael, Nova, and the gang.

As for the players, it would be weird to see any of the Omegas go (even though some of them have).

My list would be too long and I'd surely forget someone. Most all the old timers.. and a few of the newer folks who just seem like they have been around forever.

James, the question was who would make SL weird by leaving, not who makes it weird by staying! <grin>

Pretty much anyone with a last name that ends in "I", "E" or "Y".

I think most people who might be named here would make SL less weird by their absence.

Darwin... crazy scripter guy

James... too weird to let go

Beryl.... she's a walking party/gathering

Ezhar, because he's so weird he'd make the game weird by quitting

SL would definitely be weird without Dave Zeeman.

(Wrap your head around that one)

It would also be weird to play without Bel Muse.
Of course, it'd also be weird without a bunch of other people, but I wanna keep this post short and Bel was the first one to hit my mind

Without Dio, this thread would never have been started...

okay, okay, no thread hijacking through temporal quandaries...

Candie, for sure.
Darwin, oh yeah.
Eggy.
Garth and Pituca.

Is it a "thing" in SL, like in RL, when you can safely refer to people by their first names and folks know who they are?

Maybe that's a clue for this thread...

=Sinclair
(do I count?)

Here are a few, will follow Sinclair's suggestion and only give partial names. I bet you all know them

The Nomads. Not at all wierd, but we would miss them
Boso. <-- do you know him, or kitty?
Siggy. relatively new but known by many
Frankie and Fey. I would miss them and their clothes

Lance LeFay, the notorious Newbie Hater, Malicious scripter (not malicious scripts, mind you) guy, and the guy who is just here to really make people his underlings by scaring them into it.

Just as with fl, the people in your life make the world what it is... SL would be weird without anyone who has touched my secondlife... It would be weird without those who I spend the bulk of my time with and it would be weird without those who drop in from time to time. It would be weird without those people who have on occassion grated on my nerves, it would also be weird without those people who create the beautiful things I dress my AV in, and weird without those creative people who build those wonderful builds I love to visit as well as the ones I fly over when going to an event full of people that my SL just wouldn't be the same without.

In reviewing and pondering my secondlife scouring to think of those my secondlife would be weird without, I come to this end; My secondlife got really weird when beta ended and several of my friends from beta quit. It's gotten weirder and weirder over time as people have come into my secondlife and eventually quit the game, leaving a hole where they once were.

Secondlife in general is weird... it is an ever changing world full of weirdos that come and go and sometimes stay, of people whose presence changes the world for some and whose absence changes the world even more.

Dang... I need coffee. DON'T LEAVE!
