How does he know for sure what gender everyone is in RL. it's an educated guess at best right now.


Laughs... so true. I lived in Singapore for a while and I can always remember the tourists or new guys that would go into one of the local hangouts and think the were the luckiest guys in the world. Dancing and romancing and picking up a very pretty lady-boy.

Some of those lady-boys looked so good and were so charming that even experienced guys were easily fooled.

One more reason I like to actualy 'speak' with people on my 'voice headset'....
Real interaction is hard to fake....laughter, intonation, and just plain intuition on hearing a human voice.

He didn't indicate how they collect these stats. This was also in the context of a conversation of demographics for marketing, so they believe they have some reliable form of measurements. But, we'd have to ask Philip how they derive these stats to know for certain whether or not they are even remotely accurate.

Oh, I don't know...how about "Wha? Oh sorry, I didn't hear you..I was staring in rapture at how beautiful you are!"

Do I have the best husband or what!

I spent too much time in Ventrillo clearing Black Wing F'N Lair. To me voice blows chunks. I don't want to hear what you sound like, I don't care what you look like, I don't want to know if your Aunt Flo is in town ... I just want to to loose my self in SL. I could tell you all about how I have a first life and how if I wanted to drag FL into SL I would be using a web cam or just vist any one of a number of people I know but frankly my FL is none of your damn business.

So in conclusion, I don't do voice. If you like it then two woohoos for you. Enjoy and have a ball. I'm quite certian I like things you could easily live happily without. Sourkraut maybe. Or foods so spicey hot they make you sweat. Or the sharp sting on the back of my fingers as my knuckles chush through the lip and impact the teeth. If you don't expect me todo voice just because you like it I want expect you to cut words in your chest just because I happen to feel like it that day.

Your mileage may vary. Some restrictions apply. Not valid in all cities. Consult your doctor if irritation persists. Supplies are limited. Not all buyers qualify. Rabid hamster ponygirls need not apply. Void where prohibited. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or sun. Refridgerate after opening. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience an erection lasting longer than 4 hours. And have a nice day.

look, i have a pink female husky av i wear on occaision, i even have a female furry AO, but do i do it 100% of the time?, no, i only do it for fun, and to ge ta better understanding how women think (yea, im crazy like that)

if they wanna be female, thats up to them
if they wanna be a herm (both male and female reproductive organs) LET THEM!
if they want to be a floating giant octopus, let them

sl is SL, it doesn't matter, if they want to be what they want to be it should not let you get them mad, they only reason they use a voice modulator, he was probley in charecter, alot of people RP, and dont tell you.

The other percentage like to dress up as Wolves.



WRONG! WRONG!

not all furries have fursuits

not all furries go to conventions

not all furries collect furry crap,

if you knew how expensive fursuits were you would retract that statement

a standard ful lsuti costs from anywhere to USD$350-$3050

no, they arent cheap, the good ones are over 1000 bucks

OK folks, it is REAL EASY to tell who is a female and who is a male.

Just give the suspect avatar a complicate gadget that comes with a manual.

If they just poke the thing about and complain because they can't figure out how to work it - male.

If they read the manual then happily use the gadget they are a woman.

Simple ;-)

So true! In RL, too....I've had loads of examples of men complaining stuff doesn't work....the same kind that doesn't check the map and then is too manly to ask for the way. Me, I am my own navigation system. I check the map and find the way. Easy.
And I treat people in SL they way they want to be treated. If they're a different gender in RL, I don't care.

OK, German food question: I can't remember the name of it, but I used to love it. It's beef, that's sort of sweet and sour. My mother used to make it by crushing up gingersnaps, rolling beef strips in it, then pan-frying the beef, and making a sort of vinegary sauce, and noodles to go with it? What's that called?

Sounds like Sauerbraten, well a variation of it at least. Normally it's made as a roast, but things vary alot by region

Edit: found it like you remember

Sauerbraten

Ingredients:
3 to 4 lbs Chuck, 2" thick, cut into large serving pieces
2 cups white vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
salt & pepper
l small onion, chopped
small bag pickling spices
l cup grated gingersnaps


Preparation:
Brown meat in oil, drain off fat. Pour marinade over meat and place in refrigerator for 48 hours. (turn meat three times per day). Cook meat and mixture in covered pot for two hours or until meat is tender. Cool some of the juices, mix with flour and gingersnaps, and blend into the balance of the marinade. Serve over homemade noodles

Finally I pie I like (I'm not to keen on the sweet kind of pie).


My mom does a fantabulous sauerbraten....it's just that I personally don't like it! :D

@Oryx and Victoria: That's surely some American variation of sauerbraten. The original is a big slab of meat (don't ask me what it's called, I don't even know that in German...) that you leave in a kind of marinade overnight that consists of a lot of vinegar and onions and other spices. The meat will turn a very sickly grey colour....then you make a separate gravy to go with it with a little of the marinade and something else to turn it brown....I've never paid too much attention I'm afraid. It's an acquired taste for most Germans too.


Can I have a voice changer to make me sound male?

Thanks Victoria! I'll have to try it out one of these days. Alyx, well, you know. American Chinese food tastes very different from Chinese Chinese food too. I suppose the same can be said for American German food... ;)

Oh I wasn't complaining, I just wondered who got the idea with the ginger snaps! (Which you can't get in Germany, you could only make your own... ;) )
