oooh.....dragon...............


I'm afraid to say this because I'll get burned at the stake for mentioning a busness in here, and getting burned at the stake isn't anywhere near as much fun as it sounds, but if you were to go to put "Grendel's Children" into search, you might find a place with that name that would blow your mind with the different avatars you can have, and the prices are ridiculously low for what you get. Being a Dragon is FUN. You can go to Avilion and refer to everyone as "food" but tell them that they're safe because you're a Jewish dragon and they aren't kosher. (I told you all that my RP was just not normal)

I'm just suggesting a search term, not promoting a business or anything. Being helpful. It's what we do here in RA. We certainly don't suggest she go the Forum Cartel Hangout. Heck, we don't even mention "Forum Cartel Hangout" in threads. Even if we really want to invite her to the party we're having next week at the Forum Cartel Hangout, we wouldn't do it, because promoing an event like the Alt Party at the Forum Cartel Hangout would be wrong, and even if it makes total sense to mention the Forum Cartel Hangout and the Alt Party in the forum which created the Forum Cartel Hangout, we wouldn't do it because we're all law abiding citizens. Except me. and Chris.

...wherever those stab-in-the-dark searches send me, anyway. I will not speak of how I found those places. Although new, I do know that loose lips sink ships. Or they're not attractive. or something.

And there's a party? I like parties. Can I bring a cake or something?

There is also a dinosaurs park that has trial avatars if you are in fact interested in such a thing.

The party is on March 7th, I believe. All invited. It is an "Alt party", but you do not need to come in an alternate account.

I wonder if roast dragon tastes like chicken? But wait! If I use a dragon avatar, no one can roast me to find out.

I wouldn't dream of correcting myself and saying that it will not be at the Forum Hangout, but instead at Rioko's place next Friday from noon until probably late evening, SLT. I also wouldn't mention that it is an alt party, so a bunch of us will be there as our alts rather than our main characters, but that everyone is welcome to come as their main if they want. I certainly wouldn't tell you that you are welcome and we'd love to have you there, even though you are and we would. If I were to say these things, it would be advertising an event, which is wrong, wrong, wrong. Immoral, unethical and rotten to the core. It would also make people question my IQ, apparently. This baffles my mind, probably because of my low IQ. I just recently found out that the IQ test is scored differently than golf. I thought the lower the number, the smarter you were. Boy, oh boy. Was I ever wrong about that!

I'm lazy and will be coming to the alt party as me, Maureen, so feel free not to use an alt. Particularly as you don't know any of us yet.

It never struck me before how oddly appropriate it is that golf is scored inversely to the way IQ is scored.

Anyway, Rha, your mirror sounds cool. I can't think offhand of what is making your scripted mirrors not position your avatar correctly ... if you want me to take a look at the script, I will. I'm an amateur, but I assume you don't want to post it in Scripting Tips because you're planning to sell this product? I don't sell anything, lol!

You are, apparently, a very bad boy. a scofflaw, one could say. I LIKE IT!!

wait....people keep score in golf? I thought it was just people out swatting at a ball, enjoying the fresh air and scenery.

If you were ever at a golf course, or nearby and heard the amount of cursing that went on . . .

I can see that Maureen is going to fit right in with this bunch. She's already bantering with Trout and helping Ann in the kitchen with the pies.

Welcome, Maureen!

The only reason besides saying Hi that I have for chiming in on this thread is its title. At first, I thought Soji had posted it. As a were-leopard, he changes his spots frequently.

Maureen, if you happened to be in the vicinity of Lebettu, and happened to run across one of our community clamshell teleporters, and happened to teleport to the Mount Olympus Club, you would find yourself in a very attractive and private skybox sort of thing 700 m above the possible peeping toms. You could change there.

Unless there was an event going on. But you could STILL change there. Since it's a Greek-themed sim and club, the ladies would probably be in Cretan outfits (Cretan, Trout, not "cretin", you cretin. Bare-breasted, you know?) So you'd fit right in while you changed.

If you'd like a landmark to said club, meet me at the super-secret, non-advertised Forum Cartel Alt Party on March 7 at Rioko's beachfront place. I'll be the alt with the yellow rose between my teeth.

/me smiles devilishly and decides to buy bushels of yellow roses for everyone to put in their mouths at the can't be mentioned secret party, to mess with Maureen's head;)

Only kidding Maureen!

But Lindal? What a way to out your Alt ;)

I keep score by counting the number of things that my golfball hits that it wasn't supposed to. Other people=10 points, cars=5 points if parked, 15 if moving, 30 if an accident results, birds in flight=50, golf carts=5, houses=1 unless they are over a block away from the course, then its 10, geese in the water hazard=10. The beer cart girl= -100. You never want to hurt the girl who brings you delicious beer and snacks - that's the first rule in golf.

And here I was going to respond just to post a picture of me as a leopard, the other part of the were-me. But . . . how long has this Cretan themed party with the bare breasted women been going on? Sheesh . . and I waste my time going to live music events :(

Both are there, but it is a Dinosaur park. They are confined. I mean, what could happen, the dinosaurs suddenly getting out and rampaging? Like that could happen. Wait . . there was that one park . . . something involving jurassics . . .

*jumps up and down*
I got it working, I got it working!! woot
with some help from a very nice friend hehe
and I learned a thing or 2 as well

now I just have to tweak the script to make the positioning look right hehe
(at the moment it is in my little build area along with my other half done stuff LOL)

not planning to sell, just making for the changing rooms
If someone wanted to buy it I would sell but not making for the purpose of selling)

did not post in the tips forum because I was more looking for a completed script, not so much a tip on how to do something (tips if more of if you know what you are doing kinda place, at least that is how I see it)

oh well it ended up better than it started so I am happy happy happy and now, I am gonna go grab a snack cuz I deserve one!!!

edited to add....

at the risk of people hating me or jabbing me with dull sticks...
all the side comments about the cartel party and the way they are worded, actually kinda sting
it is like, you (general you to those doing such posts) are tying to rub in the face of those of us that were a little vocal about advertising in the RA forum

If you want to talk about the damn thing, do it, but please do not do the snide grade school comments, it is unbecoming and hurtful, knowing that the comments are there because people like me voiced an opinion

on that note I am gonna pop off, before something does hurt more than it should (close to that now, why do I let it hurt... because I am human that's why)

Thanks, Maureen! Mount Olympus!! Sounds like a wonderful place to find oneself when changing one's attire. It will make me feel very...Olympian! Oh, and another reason to shop. Guess I'd only need half an outfit if dressing as a Cretan. Could save me some lindens! :D

And I'll wear a red carnation at the I-never-heard-it-here-event. or wait, I guess my tag would tell you who I am. :)
