Another Continent Idea

So there's gonna be an Adult Continent now in addition to the Teen grid, PG land, M land, Private land and Main land.

So I looked at all this and realised: ALL of them fall into one very tragic category: Uptight Land!

For you see, in each case everyone is dealing with things as if they are Critically Important. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter, would it?

I mean really, if there was no big deal about any of these things, none of it would be segregated, would it?

* * * * *

So I have done a brief study, and found that about 2 to 4% of all residents simply can't take the grid seriously.

And herein lies the danger ~ these are the Exact Same Residents that pose a challenge to all the others.

Consider if one of these loose cannons decides to make Exploding Pig Pinata's next to your proper Victorian Home on the grid. Or next to your educational facility, or your XXX bordello. Imagine that! Giant pig pinatas exploding right outside the window ~ how could a proper adult business thrive next to that? Not sexy at all!

It simply can't be allowed.

So therefore, I propose a New Continent, to make the grid a better place for everyone.

Of course, everyone will have to take a brief, painless Verification Test to see where you belong. Here's a sample question!

1) A new resident asks for help wearing clothing. Your response:

a) find the item in Inventory and select 'wear'
b) drag and drop the clothing folder upon your avatar
c) the red [X] in the top corner puts on new clothes
d) to wear new clothes you have to remove your clothes first
e) give particle spammer named "rez me for free Lindens!!!!"
f) Bananaphone!!!

These Verified residents would be given an opportunity for a land swap to this new continent, and their verified status would be listed on their profile.

For a brief preview of what this continent might look like, to two 'normal' second life residents peeking at it through a doorway here is a concept image:



What do you guys think?

Well Des, if you'll run it, it works for me ;)

Perhaps one new continent for each of those answers, huh? :)

That's the problem right there- he or she would get more help if asking naked.

I'd just like to say that Holli Would (pictured above, for the uninitiated) is the most scorchingly hot cartoon character ever. That is all.

May I offer friendly competition from this side of the water?

Good grief! The number of wrong answers is astonishing, and none of you would be verified. The correct answer is "c) the red [X] in the top corner puts on new clothes", of course. How on earth did you miss that?

Ah yes. I believe that Lloyd George presented the prizes. I'm surprised you didn't remember that, Pep :)

Holli Would vs Jessica Rabbit (who is only a bunny, perhaps, in the playboy sense)?
