From: sable Valentine True RL story. My dad had gotten remarried and was annoyed with the Jehovah's Witness coming by because my step mother would by those Watch Towers. One day I was complaining about them coming to my house. He said how he got rid of his, was answering the door butt naked and invited them. They clutched on to their Watch Towers and scurried away. Pffft! LOLOL! IRL I couldn't see myself doing this, I'd just open my door a crack wide enough to let my two weinerdogs at em. They're a vicious little pack. ~~~ When I first dropped the building that was going to become my store, this guy shows up. I'm wondering does this count as begging? [19:48] LittleShortGuy: あの [19:48] MoxZ: hello [19:48] LittleShortGuy: Iam [19:48] LittleShortGuy: japaneese [19:48] MoxZ: yes ? [19:49] LittleShortGuy: Iwant SEX [19:49] MoxZ: LOL [19:49] MoxZ: no |

From: MoxZ Mokeev LMAO!!! OMG Czari this is hilarious! Why, why, why do I never get to partake of any of this type of fun! Oh wait...if I can't get anyone to come to my door, then I'll start going door to door. Yes, this could be fun! I will pose as a Jehovah's Witness. Oh wait, they travel in pairs don't they? Anyone wanna tag along? That sounds like fun! We could do a "rope-a-dope" routine pretending to be one thing then when they open the door, we bring out our respective wares. Something like this from Monty Python: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsvWVbBowXo

From: Rioko Bamaisin rofl I'm gonna try that Immy. I see a new career in my future. Annoying people till they pay me to leave. Kind of like "The Ransom of Red Chief" (one of my favorite O. Henry stories). *grins*

When I was playing Star Wars Galaxies (back when it didn't suck), someone stuck an avatar in the busiest spaceport and left him running a macro that begged for credits. He actually became very popular and I am sure made a ton of money and yet he never moved from that spot.

From: Czari Zenovka
The next day, I was inside and the doorbell actually rang (which startled me a bit). I opened the door and this guy was standing there and rezzed an airplane and asked me if I wanted to buy it. (It was a real cheesy looking contraption as well). True to door-to-door salesmen, after saying "No, thank you" a couple of times which only resulted in him rezzing a few more of his "products", I basically had to close the door in his face
Hahaha. Door-to-door SLalesman. |

This is starting to sound like fun. Not actually IMing people and asking for lindens, of course. Just throw together a threadbare Depression-era outfit, an empty cap, and a sign, "Brother, can you spare a prim?" and park yourself outside a store somewhere. Then again, maybe not such a hot idea. People would probably assume you were a camper*. Sigh.
In RL, I used to play at medieval re-creation with an organization called the Society for Creative Anachronism. Many years ago I lived in an area with a "mendicant" household who would go to events, pay for the meal, and then sit off to the side with wooden begging bowls, eating only what people would give them from the feast tables. (They never went hungry that I know of, either.) Great group of people, and a lot of fun. The shtick would probably be a lot of fun in SL, but I doubt I personally could carry it off.
(*Embarrassing story - once when I was relatively new, I almost tipped one of those violin-playing campers, because I thought they were SL buskers providing the store's music... Live and learn, I guess!)

My stuff isn't good enough to attract beggars.

Made his character the fattest he could be with really cheap looking clothes. Bet he did make a ton of money. Or if you were on Ahazi, you got to know 'Brandi' quite well in Mos Eisley. You could hear her shouting her wares all the way into the cantina. Good times.. Good times... |
