/me smiles

have a safe, fun-filled time away!

/me is on tenterhooks, waiting to see if the usual string of "me too" posts will be interspersed with nauseating doggerel again today.

Pep (See if you can rhyme "moon" and "June"; in fact, see if you can rhyme anything at all.)

I hope your trip is a fun one! See you next week.

It's one of Rika's goodies:

It's also at "Clever Things": http://slurl.com/secondlife/Takalo/248/218/144

I don't know if there's a difference in price.

And good morning, Threadies.

*raises her hand*

me too! Mari, is it in your store?

*blushes*
I could swear you were not wearing rose colored glasses when we had lunch.





*nods* When I saw that pic...I just sat and stared at my monitor.

thanks. i'll be checking into that later today.

mmmmm that looks good. it's raining here today, so a hot breakfast is really inviting right now!

we canz meet soon too, for lunch or something?

There's also a free way of treasure hunting rather than using a radar hud, if you happen to use the Emerald viewer. I think it's called "area search" under the Emerald menu at the top of the viewer. Just enter your search parameters (i'll often just enter "#" for big hunts) and it will give you a list of items, click the item in the list and it will set a red beacon to the object.

There is one built in to Emerald as well.

I guess I should read the whole page first.

Here is Path Linden's bear and Amelia:



Sorry it's a link and I hope the link works. I've tried and tried to get the pic to show and can't, so........it's a link.

wowser...that Emerald viewer just gets better and better for me! I didn't realize it had that capability.

But..I confess I don't understand most of what is listed in the official or unofficial viewers' Preferences.

that feels a little like cheating. i'd use it tho, if i got stuck!

Yes I kinda feel the same way. The whole point of most content creators participating in treasure hunts is to increase their traffic and exposure to their products and ultimately increasing their sales. It's a bit like cheating when you try to get around it, even though I am guilty of using it for well hidden things, although I will try to find it myself first. I find it also a bit annoying when people complain about free things being too hard to find or that they are of poor quality. Of course this is sometimes the case, but it seems a bit unappreciative imho.

If you go to preferences, then Emerald, page 2, effects, you then click the top check box to enable that option. You can see boobies wiggling wildly. Personally I find it freaky and not natural looking. Like two hamsters mating in your breasts.* Also there are some other stuff in there. Like turning off the dots that shoot out of your arm as you Nazi salute prims to edit them. Also, that turns off the salute, I think. And there is another check box where you can turn off other people's ability to see where you are looking. And then there is the invisibility. There is also the option to have your avatar 20 meters tall, blue, glowing, and capable of causing arousal in everyone.**

*this quote used to be in Ghosty's profile. Though it was buttocks there, not breasts.
** this one is in beta, at the moment it causes you to be 2 inches tall and causes stink waves, like seen in comic strips, to flow from you.

When stuck is mostly the point. There is usually some bad client side lag when you first turn it on as it parses through all the objects in draw distance. For the majority of a hunt, you are better off looking the old fashion way; when you are not distracted by shopping that is But when you hit the 5 story, 3/4 sim Mega-mart that does not even give you a hint ... fire up the are search and wait about 3 minutes.

Oh, I had not found this feature yet - thanks.

Sometimes an item is hidden specifically so that it is almost impossible to find with normal methods, and often just so people have to spend more time in the store, thereby increasing the store's traffic rating. I have found items hidden INSIDE walls or hidden such that a fairly new person that was not extremely adept at camera controls would never find the item. To me, that is a bit extreme.

As to quality, my argument is that if part of the purpose of being in the hunt is to supply a sample of your work, you should not be giving away the item you created when you first started and had not learned how to match seams yet. Nor should they be giving away any of the generic freebies that can be found all over the grid -- and many really do do this.

I hate when the item is on a ledge near the ceiling, in such a way that you can't really see it by looking up. Have to have camera at same level, horizontal to the item. Either the camera moved up there, or avtar flying near the ceiling.

And I really hate when the hunt item is, say, green, and it is placed against a green background. Same green color. And is about 3 inches long.

Got this "survey" as an email - you know, one of those "Hit 'Forward', delete the answers from the person who sent you the email, type in your own answers, and then send it to a bunch of people - including the person who sent it to you."
