SL OFFLINE? TEXT-SL returns!!

/me gives you 47 badly written and overly-wordy notecards regarding lag and what to do, where to go, with ~347 embedded landmarks each, 72% of which are no longer there; a ridiculous amount of clothing that you'll wish you'd deleted or not accepted in the first place, and a pair of prim shoes that automatically attach to your butt so at least on your first TP to anywhere in Text-SL, they're already where they belong.

*looks at the attachment and thinks no thanks*

*starts to read over the notecards then remembers she bought a book that was about text SL*

hey I got this book, has anyone else read it?

why are so many of the places in the book, no longer available in Text SL?

This place sucks, why do you guys play here?

((of course me in text SL in no way reflects the me in Graphic SL))

/me points to the vacuum

'nuff said

/me looks confused and begins pushing the vacuum around the room . . . "so . .. this place is to practice cleaning . . . in text?"

/me pays Lexxi Gynoid $TL 2 for 15 minutes of vacuuming.

/me writes angry screed to Deandra: What do you mean 75% of the LM don't work? Why, I checked out every last one of them personally! Well, except for the hair stores, 'cause I didn't need any that day. And the ballrooms, 'cause I didn't have a date. And the museums, 'cause nobody goes there anyway.

/me hears a buzzing sound and looks up.

Hey, it's Trout Recreant and his Text-O-Plane!

/me shouts,

HI, TROUT!

/me dives for cover as Trout comes in for what he terms a "landing".

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
***************************************


Due to unexpected developments, TEXT-SL has remained online for longer than we originally anticipated. We therefore apologise to all residents who find they are still online and in-game. We will try to rectify this as soon as possible and log all of you out without warning, just as soon as we are able to.

Thank you

/me rants at powers that be in TEXT-SL: can't you guys get anything right!

/me flings away the vaccuum and leaps up and sits on the wing of the text-o-plane . .. and squeals happily.

/me hides in a corner

/me spams a link to the people responsible in the making of TEXT-SL

Actually that's me.

Or rather, I lost in the sweep to decide who was going to face our public.

/smarm on

We do value all of you and we know how much this means to you. We do try our very best to get things right, but there are always going to be occasions when things don't quite go according to schedule.

Bear with us, we are working very hard to log you all off TEXT-SL, and we hope we can achieve this in the very near future.

/smarm off

jeez, moan moan moan. don't these people have better things to do? In the words of the immortal William Shatner "Get a Life - it's just a GAME"

oh, was my mic on there? No, I don't think it was?

Oh please. Get it right. WHERE IS THE TEXT IN THAT?

Do your research for heavens sake.

I rez a cookie for you:

/me turns off computer to exit . .. start to leave room . .. red-light suddenly snaps on behind me and I whirl around . .. the computer is starring at me . . ..
CompUsRvE: "What are you doing Hal?"
/me squeals . . . and screams . .. . "what . . .what . . .My name is not Hal!"
CompUsRvE stares at you and eyes narrow . .. "We can't let you leave Hal . .. no one leaves Hal! NO ONE!"
/me tries to flee from the room but the door slams in my face . . ..

We realise that logging out is not possible at the present time, and this is the problem we are attempting to fix (see earlier posts).

We aim to get TEXT-SL offline at (think of the first time that enters your head and add 45 minutes).
