From: TigroSpottystripes Katsu I didn't say anything about what others were thinking, I just said what I guessed would be the better thing to be done by the community, if there was the need for choosing between the two alternatives all I said was my opinion, and not an affirmation about other people's expressed opinion Ah! I see your problem and the root of my concern. You think "guess" means "believe". A common American error I understand. Pep (Incorrectly used originally, and again in the post above)

From: Pserendipity Daniels And you said there was no sense of humour in sl, Dekka! Pep (Perhaps not quite *my* idea of humour, but it might go down well with the Germans or the Finns I believe) Where did you get the idea Germans like fart jokes??? (I can't say anything about Finns-I have never asked my Finnish students whether they like fart jokes...)

Pep (Incorrectly used originally, and again in the post above) what I meant by "guess" was that based on what I know and believe to be the truth, that was what was most likely correct. But I was talking about what I think would be the best way to proceed, and not what other people think...I'm confused about what made you think I was trying to make people believe anyone said anything they didn't... ps:I'm not from the US, but probably much of my english was learned from US english speakers (I think I learned it mostly from movies and TV, plus some computer books and the internet)

It's just Pep being a jerk. Don't worry about it. Pity the original subject's been pretty much killed, though.

perhaps it might not be too late...
I don't mind returning to the main topic, besides haptic feedback, having additional senses would be interesting too, like having a third eye starting at the minimap (perhaps somthing done with those eletric "screens" I saw on tv a while back, that would produce small electric shocks instead of dots of light for pixels, and would be placed ont he tongue or the forehead or somthing, and people seems to be able to learn to "see" thru that), or some indirect sense like morse-coded vibrations of the chair translated from the chat history

From: Steely Carver Oh my; we have devolved to fart jokes. Perhaps a good penis joke should follow.  Hmm or instead we could have special "Penis" sense and other super penis powers

From: Steely Carver I actually have some super penis powers in my inventory.  Wow really those exist in SL already? I always thought it would be nice when I am in mood to have some special penis powers that would automatically sense best places to find fun that I would like instead of some laggy, annoying, boring or overpriced Sex place that fill up the mature advertisement section in the in world search by the thousands but seem too tedious to go through each everyone because die of boredom and I end up losing the desire to continue after visiting three or four of them. LOL

LOL Note how men have reduced a topic about the wide choice sensory perceptions to the tip of a penis.

Being a caring guy I thought maybe the Females might want some special senses too like magical code sensory button unlock that mystery of having it "work" each and every time because we know it doesn't always every single time sadly. With that special sensory device Women could send special commands that would fulfill her in every way and it would know before hand if she wasn't sure. It would come with special sensory automatic shapeshift and mind control features so the Women could program in who they wanted there. Hehe

(Surely the penisenlargement sellers would like to widen their inventories...)

LOL Or it could be special customized sexy storytelling game based loosely on Marquis De Sade's 101 nights give or take the gross out parts. Game outcome is based on how far out of hand it goes, either be it pleasurable or something else.  With special safe word sensory powers. LOL No I don't want anything associated with those spam emails, nothing like a stranger writing me and saying I don't please my wife, but a pill could. LOL

LOL Very true--those emails DO insult their recipient. Meaning that only people who enjoy being insulted would respond to them..??? Anyway, in re sensory improvments to SL---I'd love it if water were....wet. It would be so cool (in a vicarious sense) to wade into the ocean and wade out, dripping..... (okay, maybe that's getting into the 1001 Nights territory, again.... ) ^_^

Yes I always wish we actually got "dripping wet" realistically but have always wished I could paint inside of Second life too on prims. I have never seen a truly wet suit or wet hair in SL. If we could have senses in SL I would want it to be more realistic sensory in things like actual activities i.e painting, interacting with things like water,etc. I couldn't remember if Sade's book was 101 or more. Brain lag sense hit me. LOL

Google is giving me "101 Nights in Sodom". So I think you were right, though I've also seen "120".
(I was going back to someone else's earlier mention of Scheherazade, which is where the 1,001 figure comes from [the Burton translation]).

I found entire book on pdf in google when I searched for 101 Nights in Sodom by Marquis De Sade, title as 120 days of Sodom so maybe there is day time version? LOL (edit) I have heard of book and I have meant to read this book for years but I started to read it today but truthfully I got only to page 35 I had to quit it's just too disturbing.

Yes, I don't care to dwell on the fact that some people get pleasure from harming others, either (to me that's what it all boils down to). But more on-topic: if the technology of virtual worlds like SL advances to the sci-fi movie levels of full sensory emersion----I'd be just as glad to let the s/m people have their own space; I won't be competing for server time there.

It isn't always exactly about that, it more about consensual exchange of endorphins, sensation, sensory excitement one might find like in parachute jumping but in more personal intimate way. What I read in book that disturb me the most was Marquise De Sade's fixation on very vile personalities in his heroes who had no conscious or empathy in others except for what they could take from them, and had no problem stealing, kidnapping, murdering, raping, buying and using human beings, especially children. Yet I also figured he was also imprisoned for most of his life even though he wrote those things but he must have done some. I think in some ways he was also in his own unique ways was saying individuals with certain amount of money, highest class of nobles and those with power could use their fellow human beings in any fashion they desire without consequences. Most into modern BDSM do not use others in similar fashion unless they are given special CIA or Governmental clearance to do whatever they must to torture out confessions for President Bush or other high ranking individuals. Yet there is some degree of sensory excitement in being able to experience things one would never do outside of the dark shadowy regions of one's imagination. This is probably the same reason some people are attracted to high risk sports, violent video games, drugs, alcohol, loss of control, total control, intense romantic adventures, magical fantasy tales where no limits of regular daily lives exist, intense sensory appearances, dark or intense sexual role play games, scary theme parks, haunted houses, horror movies and wild anonymous sex with little to no consequences is so appealing to some. Important sense would be the ability to have adventures, excitement and step out of one's norm for many people if we could create any type of experience in a virtual world even if required that the virtual world existed where no censorship, no limits and morals existed. Yet the reality of having a virtual world that was all about stepping out of one's norm without consequences we all know that part of grid wouldn't last long for numerous reasons even in role play sense. Reality of the shadowy imagination filled places on the internet often give me personally a sense of feeling virtually covered with slime then excited and challenged. It is difficult to produce those type of experiences without high degree of the yuck factor in our current technology in my opinion. Yet if it was possible to produce a world where one could experience different adventures with real sensations it would make billions of dollars and attract billions of adventure seeking addicts because everyone at some point in their lives needs adventure and sense of mind blowing sensory overload now and then.
