How do you put your avatar away for the night

I read once about some people who collect model buses who sometimes 'hire out' vehicles to other collectors to help them through busy periods!! We SLers are not alone in immersiveness!

I seem to be getting more like her as I age.......

I do similarly - when I first joined SL, I always used to TP home before log-off, but I don't bother much anymore. I do try and remember to empty the trash though.

I say bye and hit quit... Whereever I am.. that way if i want to return to the last place I was, I can (if I forget to LM) or go home...

I never thought about sitting her in a chair or tucking her in at night.. /me shrugs
sometiems I even wear the same clothes for days... omg

I agree - I cant honestly say I get tucked into bed or stuff like that. I check IMs. Go to quit and bugger off. It's pixils for ****'s sake.

Wow and they say Anton Chekov and Franz Kafka are dead ...

LOL I can relate

I used to do that in TSO, and sometimes put on my pajamas and got into bed first.

In SL I just log off, though.

Trout, I am right there with you, man! Maybe since we live in our imagination in SL (and perhaps in RL?? lol), that's why we experience the physical reactions too. For instance, right now, I'm lazily swinging in a hammock on the deck. Lovely day...I swear I can feel the breeze!

The brain...it's an amazing tool!

Out of line? Heavens no, it's your world, your imagination after all!

But, have you mentioned this to your therapist? Perhaps it might shed some light on your issues, such as why you feel the need to solicit pictures of slutty female avatars to rate ...


To answer your other question: I'm like Collette -- unless I'm in a situation where I don't want to reappear, I simply quit. After all, when I go to bed in RL, I don't lay out my clothing for tomorrow.

What would the affects be on Second Life if our avatars never vanished?

Assume everyone that registered still had an avatar, so eleven million avatars.

Most of the people behind them are gone, so if they have land in their name still, I guess their avatar would be on their land.

If the people are gone and have no land, their avatar would have to be on someone else's land. You might need to be able to bury it. Or maybe you'd get to have the ability to move a dead avatar if it is on your land. Dead avatars could be treated as objects by landonwers, and folks would use them for furniture or building material, or for, umm, playthings. If you didn't want your avatar being treated with such disrepect, you'd have to arrange to have it buried, or put on display, or stored in a cryogenic storage facility in case you returned to SL.

Perhaps dead avatars, after say a month of staying wherever they were when their operators last used SL, would come back as NPC zombies, wandering the terrain in search of whatever it is that zombies want, brains, cool zomby duds, or what have you.

If your avatar stayed here all the time, if you left it on your land, and left your land accesible and buildable and such, people would do all sorts of disrepectful things to it, so some folks would change their settings to keep people out of where their avatars are and not allow scripts and building where their avatars are when they aren't online.

This is not a feature suggestion, just a thought.

Happy Rez Day Suzanne. *raises a glass to you* Here's to the next four.

Love the idea of undead avatars with lampshades on their heads doubling as lamps in people's homes. Glad we dont have Smellivision though, it would get a bit ripe...

You may be pixels, but I swear imogen has a soul.

I TP home, sigh happily at being Monarch of all I Survey, wish I surveyed quite so much in RL, look at the clock and try to think of a good reason I shouldnt go to my RL bed, and then quit, wishing I had left enough time for REM sleep so I could dream of my SL life.

Sad, or what?

imogen

i love this idea ... more thots ....

--- you could zombie-enable your land, so that zombies were or were not allowed
--- as a zombie, you "rot" steadily until, after 6 months, nothing is left and your account is deleted. any mainland you own is abandoned immediately, any island land reverts to prev owner or to your "beneficiary"
--- when you create an account, you can designate a beneficiary account to get all your stuff in the event that you go zombie and rot
--- zombies can be commanded to do a limited number of things by any passerby who knows how. harmless things. chicken dance.
--- if you give a zombie something, it performs an eating animation and then comes after you with teeth bared. it chases you for 20 seconds. if it catches you it nibbles on your neck happily for a few seconds while purring, then poofs elsewhere.

*giggles*

Hmm, maybe this could be worked into a way to motivate people to go premium.

Dead, never premium avatars get no respect. Formerly premium avatars get a bit better treatement.

LL could put up ads like: "Go premium or if your ever leave we'll disrespect your avatar's corpse!"

Thanks for the kind words.

And this is different from now, how?

We'll need some new LSL functions...

llStartAnimateZombie(key id, string animation) and llStopAnimateZombie(key id) to make them dance or pose them as furniture.

llTossZombie(key id, vector direction, float force) for those games of zombie badminton.

llDesecrateCorpse(key id, list desecrations) this function can only be used in mature sims, and possibly only by age verified accounts.

llDecorateZombie(key id, key inventory_clothes) to dress them in funny outfits.

llAttachToZombie(key id, key inventory_object, integer attachment_point) to attach lampshades to their heads, put wheels on their feet, and so on.

There'll be some other functions, and probably some zombie-base events too, but this is enough to get started.

For the night? By the time I quit it's far too close to dawn to call it night.


I usually teleport home, but if I'm in a hurry, I'll quit wherever...

but if other people are present, quite often I'll use a silly macro that emits a giddy WHEEEE! sound and does a backflip.

I'll quit midway through the backflip...

It makes the login image look very silly.

I foresee a whole new notecard at Ivory Tower - Zombie Prim building.

There will be Zombie Building classes at NCI, and competitions for "Most creative use of a Zombie", "Creative Cadaver Skills" classes, and it brings a whole new meaning to prim torture... the mind boggles.

How many Zombies do you need to change a lightbulb?

Who Cares, they only come out in the dark.

I really wish 'avatar' were a prim type we could create and pose without having to go through the bother of setting up sculpties.


It'd be nice to have an online/offfline detector that, when you were offline, showed a verion of youself actually in a bed or something.

Interesting, Trout.

When I first got into SL and had no real "home", I did kind of wonder what happened to the avatar after I logged out. Sort of the "light in the refigerator" question...<grin>

Now that I have a "home", I do have a ritual. If I am out and about somewhere - I go home, check the store and grounds for loose foreign objects, head inside, strip to boxers, and sit down in a chair, and check through inventory...then log out. If I have been at home building, I still go through all of the above steps, but also make sure that everything I have been working with is locked.

lolololololloll!

puts a whole new spin on llDie();

I knock him in the forehead with a wrench, then whistle and down a bottle of JD.


"U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" (inside joke)

If my master and I have been out on the town, we usually TP home to say goodnight and hug before logging. If we are already at home either just cuddling or post-coital, we'll emote falling asleep after saying goodnight.

I have ended up naked in an info-hub when our sim was unavailable one day after a wonderful night before. I admit to it being a little traumatic but I still take the chance.

It's been fun reading what other people do. Great post, Trout.
