..."Unable to rez. Parcel is full."
That IS hilarious. And I agree, it wins the thread.
But Des's post shames me. Chaos, I'm sorry I made fun of your idea. I wish you luck with it.

Speaking of copyrights and RP themed sims, a bunch of friends and I thought it would be cute to put on Playboy outfits and go over to the Playboy sim. OMG they were incredibly upset, not only did we get accused of being escorts but we were told that no one could walk around the Playboy sim with bunny ears and tails on or they would be banned.

You know what upset me more was there were no rules posted at the entrance, no greeter sent me an IM or notecard, nothing. Just approched, accused and asked to comply. To be honest the sim was practically empty, there really was nothing exciting about it.

I see 13 prims at least anyone else? I need a 3rd life sim. I think I could get pretty close with half that. I'm not sure what dark urban RP is. Is it like vampires and such or is it like street gangs and crack houses? What does the "urban" part mean? _____________________

At first I read the title as "dork city."

I prefer "dark urbane". People masquerading as Bryan Ferry or Côte d'Azur plutocrats wandering around a dimly lit sim, speaking in cut glass accents about the price of truffles and the jauntiness of the angle over the shoulder that a pastel shaded cashmere sweater should be draped. _____________________

If you look around SL, the most popular "RP" seems to be that of belonging to an upper middle class closed community where everyone drives German cars and owns a yacht which is moored just off their private beach.
Which is a bit sad really, since if you just shut down SL and went out and worked a bit harder you could get somewhere close in RL..  Seriously though.. I think a sim nicely laid out like the set of Dawson's Creek.. or the other one that I can't remember ...and bob's your uncle you'd have a winner. |

Yes, but the beauty of SL is that if you so choose, you can be aspirational without being perspirational. Something like that anyway _____________________

Well Chaos, wish you good luck with finding a sim for your idea's.
The sim Chaos had before might have been planned bad regarding prim use, but if Chaos can do one thing, it is building. Even though it's not my style of building, I recognize a good designer when I see one So if you got your building style a bit less prim consuming, there must be land barons who want to make a deal with you.Follow your dreams!

I guess that the answer is that the place DOESN'T make money. Good luck finding a patron, Chaos.

I have a few pics of them in my Flickr account-if you can't find an entrance, just cam underground and sit on something... http://www.flickr.com/photos/alyxsands/2044935523/in/set-72157602818341240/ They also keep a lot of, erm, explicit poseball stuff down there, beware! _____________________

Ooh, I will have to go check it out. Disappointed about the pose balls though. Do they have to be everywhere? I was bummed when I found even Bedrock has a place underground with pose balls. Not the Flintstones I remember. (sigh) |

You know, I take it back. The only way this city could work is through rentals. They'd be pricey, but it would have to fit theme - all the housing would be dark, grungy stuff laden with vices and all kind of smut. Shops would need to sell stuff that fit into the theme - all the dark goth clothing, weapons, cars, etc. The question is, what kind of demand is there to live in such a place?

The question is, what kind of demand is there to live in such a place? As impressive as I thought Felonhall was I wouldn't want to live there. Too depressing on a regular basis. That's just me, though. In general I think what you described may prove itself to be very popular. |
