The (Abridged, incomplete, and completely fake) Who's Who of SL

In recent news, it has been discovered that Second Life has a large number of Cliques and Unofficial Groups, as well as People Who Do Stuff. In order to help you, the (Potentially new and confused) user, understand these entities, a brief breakdown has been included below.

Please note: This is NOT an all-inclusive list, nor is every "group" or "person" on this list actually guarenteed and confirmed to exist in actuality (Examples: Feted Inner Core, Philip Linden).

Groups:

FIC (Feted Inner Core):
Sometimes called the Feted Inner Corps by some, this "group" is a bunch of people who apparently have created a lot of really cool stuff. Some folks decided that this group was viewed both by themselves and by others as "more important" than the ret of the folks in Second Life, and have taken umbrage to this idea. After all, everybody is just as important, from the greatest content creator down to the lowliest spineless griefer, right? This group is usually comented about by Blaze and Prokofy.

Fetid Inner Core:
Derogatory name for the FIC.

Feasted Inner Core:
A large... LITERALLY... group of Avatars who know that looking like the perfect super-model in Second Life is not necessary, and who have eaten sufficient quantities of food to make their waistline have sufficient gravity that smaller avatars get caught in the field and orbit around them. These smaller avatars may be mistaken for groupies by some.

Fetid Outer Core:
The reverse of the Feted Inner Core, supposedly EVERYBODY else.

Farted Inner Core:
A group of people who seek the llMakeWind() function, supposedly to create interaction with sailboats and particles, but we know why they REALLY seek it. This knowledge came about when rumors of requests for llPassGas() and llPassWind() were proven to be true, and turned out to be the original requests that were denied.

Fated Inner Core:
The folks of second life who seem to have nothing but problems. Fated from the beginning to find EVERY potential experience-detsorying bug, griefer, lag bubble, and problem possible, as well as create new ones simply be their existance. These folks usually don't last long, as they are unable to have a decent experience in Second Life, and are gone quickly.

Content Barons:
The people who "make everything" and "control everything". They are the Microsofts of Second Life, because they happen to be the folk who are able to create cool stuff that noboy else does a good job at creating (and lives to tell about).

Land Barons:
The people who pour so much RL money into SL per month that you sometimes wonder if half the whole grid possibly belongs to them. Well, it does, but that's beside the point.

F{censored}ing Middle Core:
People who are not in the FIC but hate the FOC for hating the FIC, and try their best to pretend they are in the FIC, which may not be possible if the FIC doesn't actually exist.

Anti-Cliquers:
People who are in a clique that is all about not being in cliques, and hating cliques. "If you are in a clique, you are SOOOO below us, and can't be part of our group." Unfortunately, the more intelligent of these people realie that they are being a clique anyway, and begin to hate themselves too. As such, they end up becoming antisocial wanderers who end up meandering all over the grid until they find one of the little-known Holes at The Edge Of The Grid, fall in, and are never heard from again.

Griefers:
Not an organized group, per-se, but individuals who have failed to actually exceed the mental capacity of a roadkill chipmunk, and therefore find the need to cause Grief to others in SL. Examples of griefing are numerous and disgusting, so will not be gone into here, for the sake of those who have eaten recently.

SLuminati:
Apparently not doing too well, as reports of their activities have surfaced in many places. Some have come to speculate that they may be posers, as a proper "Secret Society" tends to stay Secret.

Willow Zander: The original Sloot. Not to be confused with Aimee, whose a** is involved in many threads.

Christiano Midnight: Um... Some Guy.

Hiro Pendragon: Makes up odd songs and poems, and has way too much knowledge under his belt. (See reference in his post to "25 or 6 to 4" for an example)

Aimee Weber: Likes to post snapshots of her AV inline and her a** is brought up in many threads.

Eggy Lippman: Ah.. Also some guy...

Torley Torgeson: She is everywhere at once, everybody knows her, even if they don't, etc, etc.

Cubey Terra: Makes cool stuff.

Huns Valen: Blue defenestrator.

The above INDIVIDUALS:
Posters of more random posts on the forums than any sane person should. Most of them have 4-digit post counts, and some are soon to approach 5-digit post counts.

Philip Linden: The guy whose fault all this is. (Technically speaking. ) Nobody has ever actually SEEN this individual, and rumors abound that he might actually be a complex computer program working to build his virtual empire, which he will eventually create devices to suck everybody into, similar to Lawnmower Man, or Tron. Rumors also state that this rumor was started right here, but rumors are just rumors.

(And honestly, that's all I feel about writing about for now. Please, Help add to the Who's Who! But be honest. Newbies saying "I'm me and I'm cool!" are the sux0r. Help actually point out who the movers and shakers... well, and shaky... are both in the forums and In Game.

KIT! LOL!!! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMPILE THIS. OMG... LOL... great! I hug it as if it were a giant plushie watermelon. I wish to gracefully amend my entry however:



Proper pronoun: she. "He" refers to Torley Torgeson Sr., who was lost in a spacetime glitch following a borked TP and I've since reunited briefly with him and hope to see mah papa again in the future (with the help of ahk's Delorean perhaps!). I am all-woman... well, mostly. Part robot, part cat due to gene-slice-and-dicing experiments.

I'd rather be known for being friendly than omnipresent, tho -- I'll leave everywhereness up to those Lindens!

Thanks for including me. =^_^=

Furry - Players that transform their AVs into different animals, usually with an emphasis on cute/anime styles.

Hoochie Hair - Any attachment hair that uses a large number of complex prims, normally causing lag.

Bling Bling - Flashing particle that creates a sparckle effect when attached to clothing or hair.

Drama - Any game situation blown completely out of proportion, normally involving envy, spite, personal attacks, and of course..POLLS.

Aimee Weber - FIC, Content Baron, Clothing designer, and compulsive poster of forum nonsense. Without a doubt the sweetest little monkey in the game.

Gah, how did YOU know what happened to me? Spooky.

Okay, I've fixed it Torley. Sorry!!

That's what we need... SQUISHY prims! So when they collide with another prim or an AV, they deform. Then you could hug a watermellon plush more easily.

And I guess that this is becoming more of a SL Urban Dictionary too, since we're including Stuff as well.

It should be noted that "hoochie hair" is NOT a compliment, BTW...

1. hoochie
a female who appears to match a set of characteristics including: trashy, often inappropriately tight dress (with or without pudge overflowing waistband); eyebrows shaved and penciled back on in dramatic fashion; heavy, mostly monotonic makeup with dark lipstick; large, gaudy, costume-grade jewlery. Frequently accompanied by multiple children from different fathers (see baby-daddy).

Sooo, what to add to the definitions now... And to make things "worse", should I continue to add definitions given to the head of the thread by re-re-re-editing my post over and over, ad infinitum, or force everybody to go through the tread to get more defs?

ROFL this post made my day, amazing how true too -

(Baron of something.. eventually...)

You forgot people like me, the Nouveau Feted Inner Core Wanna-Bes'

We just kiss FIC ass.

* cries at being reduced to 'some guy' while also being given a gratuitous letter H * Now that you mention it, Aimee's ass does figure prominently in many a thread. Oh, and Torley is the Metaverse.

I am indecisive where I fit into this myriad of cliques. I think I will start my own....
how about...

Perceptionally Intelligent Perfect Slackers
Then I can have my own intials...PIPS

ROFL that made my day! Interesting way to look at the people/groups that do some crazy stuff on these forums

in the list: voted five

You forgot the JNP's (Just Nice People)

Like Higbee & Princess Midnight
Selador
Darko & Paris
Lecktor
Ursla
Olympia
Kahmon
Skunken
Paca
Sunny
MrsJackel
Arwen
Merwan
Paolo
Isis
Cybin
Eddie
Schwan
Shadow (though he really is one of the revered ancient ones who just happens to be a JNP too)

& so many others, some like Andi Apollo not with us any longer!

As far as I'm concerned most of the FIC's are double agents and are really JNP's disguised as FIC's, except Torley - she's the metaverse!

I'm shocked and amazed that you LEFT OUT your gracious king.

Don't forget the Fretted Inner Chord... it's that tricky-fingered power chord that all those hair bands would play that would make your stereo make love to your ears... like a:

gggrrrwwwwwwaoooooooowwwwwwwowowowowowowowowowowowowoowowwdiiddlydiddlydididididiwwwwoooooyyyaaaoooowww!!!!

I'm a JNP? Aw Shucks

Hiro, that's more of a lick than a chord..its the "diddly" that makes it so. However, I'll give it to you this time because you illustrated it so well

To the best of my knowledge, Limozeen is currently the only band capable of producing said chord.
"...because it's MID-night!"

Ouch.

Don't forget about

blaze Spinnaker: Bitchin' ultimate message poster

You forgot the "Fetish Inner Core" , people who have more interesting skyrooms than most...

Then I suppose we need...

Fletched Inner Core: They think the bow and arrow is the coolest thing, and have better arrows than everybody else.

Fostered Inner Core: Lost their parents, and had to live elsewhere.

Foisters Inner Core: They know Australian for Beer.

Festive Inner Core: Wearing such gaudy bright colors that you can't look at them without sunglasses.

Furry Inner Core: Includes Kathmandu, eltee, and other Uber-Furries on SL.

Fetching Inner Core: Attractive folks, like Aimee

Feudal Inner Core: The ones who believe that all of second life should be run on a feudal system. Have landowning "lords" that own full sims, and crete the rules for them. Lords would be selected from the Feted Inner Core of course.

Fetal Inner Core: Preborn Second Life Babies!!

Fevered Inner Core: People who are SOOO sick of hearing about the Feted Inner Core that they are.. well.. Literally sick.

Fertile Inner Core: They create the new folks in the Fetal Inner Core

Fired Inner Core: No longer works here.

Ferric Inner Core: Part of a magnet.

Fertilized Inner Core: The people who are full of s**t.

Fibbing Inner Core: Bunch of dirty liars.

Fiber Inner Core: They are never constipated.

Fiddle In Her Core: The mother of the Fetal Inner Core, assisted by the Fertile Inner Core.

Fisted Inner Core: Usually seen hanging out in Non-Safe areas, or holding signs at the WA.

Fishy Inner Core: Very rare piscean avatars.

Foxy Inner Core: Includes both human foxy ladies like Aimee and her butt, and actual vulpine AV's like Kit.

Fragile Inner Core: People who break down crying at the mere HINT of Drahmah.

Froggy Inner Core: Haven't seen one yet. Anybody got any screenshots?

Frequent Inner Core: Not ALWAYS Feted Inner Core, but much of the time is, with occasional forrays out.

Fretting Inner Core: Always worried about the state of Second Life and everything else. Worried Worried Worried...

OH. I will have to look for that one on netflix.



Awwwweeee <3

There, Aimee, now you'll be accused of being a snob on the Fetching Inner Core. You Horrible FIC Person you!

Already proposed....

neko
(hyperactive feature proposer and proponent of bizarre biological interfaces to SL... but other than that, not much of anybody, certainly not worthy to be in a list with those others mentioned here....)

Atleast you were not put as a so big nobody that you were not even meantioned.... *sniffles*

Torley, I thought you were part watermelon, too.

As for Phillip Linden, he does exist... I've seen him! It was a lonely night on the moors, and this frightening crossdresser came stalking out of the fog like a great... stalking thing.
