There is no privacy in SL -- this is nothing new, and shouldn't be a shocker to you.

If you're doing something that other people shouldn't be watching, you probably shouldn't be doing it in SL at all.

Bah! Plenty of privacy in SL, you just have to pick your spot or keep one eye out if you are in a not-so-remote place.

I often spend hours with no one coming within half a sim of me, either building, chatting or staring at nearby walls.

I'm kind of creepy about using my camera controls... But a lot of the time i'm checking to make sure that people arn't busy, things like that. Also, I get nervous around people and sometimes it takes a while to decide if I'm going to approach them or not...

But stalkery types are creepy ;)

A good idea for a SL tv show would be a guy that just walks in on couples with noise makers, particles and flashing lights and gives them money :)


I laughed so hard. :D

A tip, if you're on your way to a "private" location, try not to come close to anyone after you TP nearby... as far as I can guess, as you pass by them they could see you're on your way somewhere and alt-click you and "follow" you virtually undetectable... I haven't tried this to see if it only works for a certain distance but it's something to be wary of if you like your privacy.


It only works for a short distance.

I've done peeping, but purely for mischievous purposes (I like mischief, that's why my avatar is an imp). How anyone can get sexually aroused by this world is beyond me. I think it's funny to hear what people say or even to rez silly things near them. Once, I crashed a private birthday party by climbing through a perfectly mini-person sized mistake in the prim architecture. I changed my skin to a darker texture once I was holed up under the floor and then released various particle scripts and left copyable presents like drinks and boxes of textures for the guests. ]:) Anything that is mischievous, especially with a sense of irony, is a lot of fun for me. There was a somewhat famous avatar (I've forgotten her name but she looked like a grotesque barbie doll) that used to host a gameshow where she gave away no-copy VW bugs. When I saw newbies come to her events, I'd secretly give them copyable VW's of the exact same model or cash.

I love feeling bad and good at the same time.

Then again, I tend not to explore around known BDSM dungeons or Furry Yiff Houses or any house marked with a red light, etc.... (grin)


Cienna reminds me of a story.

One day, coasting about the clouds in my prototype Recon Drone avatar, I happened upon a huge box in the sky. My innocence at this time was complete. I was in a PG sim and my previous experience with sky builds wasn't at all troubling.

Curious as to the contents of this box, I went to work with my camera controls. Having a look around I discovered a bit of a fountain outside as decoration. What was interesting was lurking inside. Within the walls of the remote structure I discovered an absurd variety of BDSM-related gear and furniture. Attached to a rather uncomfortable-looking table was a nude and nicely skinned woman. Beside her a man, his avatar fully functional.

Bear in mind this is a PG sim.

I'm about to begin my descent to ground level (I estimate I was hovering near 450m). Before I can vacate the area, though, I see some chat. The upright male citizen within was speaking through the wall.

Bondage Guy: i have a scanner that tells me when someone is close
Me: The map isn't good enough?
Bondage Guy: well why are you up here
Me: I was exploring the skies
Bondage Guy: yea but why did you stay so close
Me: Listen, fella, if you're afraid I'm going to report you for having your shenanigans on PG land, you can just calm down. Doesn't bother me.
Bondage Guy: lol, ok
Me: Have a pleasant evening
Bondage Guy: u too!

I proudly use one of the Linden created huts and have my house up on stilts.


Hey Chris. Do you know where I can get one of them? I have been looking all over.

thanks

Doesnt bother me. In fact I own a voyeur house, so they usually just come in and sit on a couch, lol.

I believe you need look no further than your own Library in Inventory.

Heh. I walked in on a couple people once. It was a mysterious box, quite low to the ground, not even conceivably beyond anybody's draw distance. There were a couple of dots, but for all I knew, they were on the ground. Yeah, that was awkward.

There seems to be a mysterious box theme going on with the horny avs.

I just popped down good ole AV Detector. So when they 'sneak' in, I get the icon creation message. :)

Better yet, use a particle RADAR that points to unlisted avs when it finds them. List your friends and your neighbors. Then, when a random person gets within zoom-distance, a stream of particles points to their av while they remain within that radius.

i didnt think it would bother me but
07-18-2005 06:24
my lady friend (ok partner) and I were being intimate in our rooftop hot tub/sauna (3rd floor, very tall room), when I zoom out and see this dood hovering just below the window, plastered against the wall so we wouldnt see him or his tag

well, so as not to make my girlfriend think there was anything wrong with her, i explained there was a peeper as I grabbed my gun and gave the chat command for my, um, flag not to stand at attention as I planned on chasing him down and caging him buck neked (see, the cager doesnt appear on PvP). I guess i could have left my flag at full mast but im not sure how the physics of flight would have been effected by such wind resistance

anyway...

This is actually not the 1st time I have been peeped on while with sowing my Avis oats, but the other time was my nieghbor from my 1st land area asking if I was saving any for him

that was funny, nothing sneaky about it, we werent exactly being quiet about it and were right in front of a huge window, but mr snoop here was CREEPY. We have 1 close neighbor who we know very well and the rest of the sim has only had 7 people on it at most. he musta looked long and hard to find neked avatars in a hot tub before he snuck in on us, especially hidden in a tub on the 3rd floor

Well, i did things in the wrong order and banned all but my girl and myself from our land which shot him out and away, unfortunantly before I could shoot him

so my girl and I talked about it and decided its not really that bad to be spied on, hell Im a pervert, an exhibitionist and a voyuer, but were not entertaining freeks who spy on digital cartoon sex for free either

so now, if u want to watch us in action, feel free, have a seat, hell ill put out an old spatoonie popcorn machine, serve drinks and Ill even IM u when the shows about to start... but its gonna cost ya

i think L$750 a minute is the going rate

yeah, escorts are cheaper, unless girls scare you (dont worry, i think most escorts are really guys anyway trying to make a fast buck off of sucke... I mean socially ignorant yet sexually curious players. You guys could play tonka trucks with the time left over since ull prolly end up popping ur cork pretty quickly anyway)

so leave us alone, you whack job, and if you're reading this, your borg avatar sucks. borgs are asexual as far as i know fruit loop

go watch tiny furry bondage sex if u wanna see something really interesting, or go rent a porno and see REAL people

or better yet, borrow your moms car and go ask some real girl out

Im not embarassed being watched. you SHOULD be humiliated if thats the low you have to go to to get your jollies...

tsk tsk

sneaking up to catch neked cartoons bouncing around a hot tub, if your not smart enough to be ashamed for yourself then i'll be ashamed for you. i hope you are a borg in real life cuz as a human, if u display that type of pathetic behaviour in a game where u literally can make ANYTHING happen, your personal life must really suck

anyway, should i put an ad in classifieds? is L$750 too much?

Did this really happen? I guess u can write on my tombstone "now ive seen everything"
