Have You Planned YOUR SL Demise?

It will probably be one of 2 ways. Either a gradual lessening of time online, and eventually I'll just not come back. Or the game will change in such a drastic and unacceptable way that it will be an immediate withdrawl. In either case there will be no public demonstration.

I like Des's idea of an immortal AI avatar.

But I like the idea of uploading myself into my avatar better yet.

If I can't take SL with me, by golly I'm not going to go!

I actually have.
I have thought about the entire story line.

I will have escaped from a women's detetion facility where I was serving time for auto theft and hide out in an alley begging strangers for lindens. The street walkers, drug pushers, and strippers would all befriend me and offer me a job as "water girl" for the strip club. I would then become a stripper then an escort, then a porn star. Until one day I would fall in love and leave the sex trade for good. Or so we thought.

I would try to make myself a legitimate business woman attempting to rent out properties on a greek themed sim.

and the story continues.

I know I will be brutally murdered by my evil twin sister who will then take over my life!

Wow! lol. You should write it in a blog or something - its like one of the soaps!

/me laughs so hard she spit coffee on herself

Ah ha

What is a blog?

I find the death story lines stuff unusual to my experience.

I don't see my AV as a separate virtual person.

But rather the way I am traveling in/interacting with a virtual world.

Thus my AV would only die when I do IRL.

Although leaving SL would be a possibility.. In which case my AV wouldn't die, just no longer be relevant to me.

---------------

However I have known a lot of people who see their AVs as separate people from themselves.

Thus I can see the Story Lines, I guess.

Maybe you can make it the next Cheesy TV show Tie In.

we are getting something together for youtube.

Well, I haven't planned the funeral yet.....but I have given some thought to the toast I want said at my wake..


FILL YOUR GLASS WITH GIN
AND DRINK TO POCKET PFEFFER
A SLAVE TO THE DREADED PRIM
BUT A DECENT SECOND LIFER


Of course when they try to bury me it'll probably take about three days, because I'm sure there'll be loads of lag....or pehaps it'll take longer, because knowing my luck, my SL funeral will probably take place just as the grid goes down!!!!

No disassemble gaybot!

Somehow I think your story is too hot for YouTube.

I'm not leaving SL until I leave RL.

So, what I have to plan is my RL demise, which I hope to avoid for another 60 years, at least. At that point, dragged kicking and screaming into the grave by zombies would be my preferred method. Either that or missing the net in an attempt to set the human cannonball distance record in the over 100 age category.

BOOOOOOOM...Whooooooohooooooooo!...uh oh...SPLAT! The end. They can reconstruct me, install the MP3 player so future generations of Trouts can sit in my lap and hear stories from Grandpa Trout, and I'll go on to live a nice life in SL, having carefully uploaded myself prior to the human cannonball attempt.

What if they can't find all the parts?

"Mommy, why's grandpa missing toes?"
"Trout the third, don't take off those shoes! How many times have I told you!!"

Not until you change your will so that I get all your stuff.

This is not as odd as it may seem at first look. It really depends on how you use your Second Life.

For example, in our total immersion RP sim, one of our regular players knows that they are going to be away from SL for an extended period of time. We're talking years potentially, not just weeks or months. So, in order to not leave any storylines hanging, requiring a retcon, we are scripting out their endgame (in broad strokes mind you, the actual details will be spontaneous improv RP). Think cataclysmic confrontation between good and evil, or in our case, between evil and *more* evil.

Ind if and when they do return, we've already established the backstory that they were a geneticist, working on clone research.

and donate Trout Jr. to science, of course.

When I'm done with him, he'll be such a mess that I doubt science will want him. Maybe I'll donate him to Ripleys.

That reminds me of the geneticist who cloned himself. The clone was insane, however, and could do nothing more than rave and curse.

The unhappy scientist took his clone up on a high building, and pushed him off, to fall to a messy death.

The clone had no legal existence, so they couldn't charge him with murder. But they did arrest him for making an obscene clone fall.

What a depressing topic.

Have you seen Youtube lately?



But you wont know I am dead. Remember, my evil twin will take over... Remember...

when Maggie dies
bury her deep
put her 1500l Minx boots(w/walking sound)
on her feet..

but ne'er you cry
nor despair
her alt, will take her hair

<rimshot>

*groan*

Good one Lindal, thanks!

Could it be that Lindal IS your evil twin sister?

She looks nothing like me, but that could be arranged.
Lindal, can you pass for me?
