Higher class of newbies brought to you by Corporate America

Did anyone that was at the CSI orientation islands last night notice the unique hair and clothing worn by the newbies? Are these special upgrades made available only to those who joined SL by using the CSI link? Also I’ve noticed many of the new comers who join SL from the I am Legend page are starting off at that orientation station rather then going through the LL orientation. Many head strait into the Legends game with out making any effort to learn SL basics such as walking. This has helped to up my kill ratio but probably does very little for retaining new residents.

Shhhhh! I'm counting on bagging at least another 20 shuffling lag-locked and stunned noobs before they wise up.

Most corporate types don't deserve to live anyway.

I am legend dose have some very nice freebies, and I believe they are all produced by existing SL vendors. I haven't visited the csi sims yet, maybe they do the same? If corporate America gave me my nice new boots, then I am grateful.

If you want to rack up the kills, just play a vamp dog, they are the easy mode faction. For a REAL challenge play a Human and fight the lag while trying to aim the popgun they give you. Humans should start with a baseball bat instead of a magic popgun that never runs out of BBs.

One poor guy was standing there with his infected tilter on so I killed him, then point him to the nearest rejuvenator ring thing…then I waited and killed him again…yeah I’m that mean. I ended up giving him a LM to Orientation Island Public. “click Teleport”
Geeez!

Yeah I’ve been playing Non-infected Human from the start. The biggest challenge is switching from an empty sub machine gun to a pistol while running full steam from a hoard of slashing zombies.
Stats as of last night: 22 Kills – 62 Deaths

My best moment so far was getting killed by two vamps who then gloated over taking me out as I plinked at them with the newb-gun. What skill! what daring! One of them left and I chased the other one all over Coney Island; apparently his courage was all numerical

Upon landing on the CSI island, I was impressed with what one can do with nearly unlimited prims, access to and development of world-class textures and the experienced talent of the Electric Sheep Company (ESC). My second impression was that it was form over substance. I wondered if the people who would join SL having had the CSI/SL/ESC introduction would find their Second Life world woefully disappointing and depart like a flock of, well, sheep, bleating their criticisms to the public.

Combined with what I hear is a poorly reviewed prime time television show, I’d say that the lesson learned is that not all exposure is good exposure.

I love Second Life. It is the best hobby I've ever had. I devote a lot of time to it partly because, if you want to function well in it, you deal with a steep learning curve. But like most of us, my time is limited. We go to work at first life jobs which are not hobbies, which are not as exciting as Second Life. We go to work to make nickels to buy pixels. I look at the CSI/ECA model and am reminded that my experience on SL had better be fun because it sure as hell will never be professional.

I think that maybe the people who have the most fun on SL are those for whom the substance of SL is FUN, whichever form it takes. If you search for a philosophical justification for your time on SL, your last activity may be the search for a texture of a withered bush.

All I got was a large and intrusive HUD for "playing detective", and a big shiny badge.

I don’t need no stinking badge!

I like my badge, I placed on my ass along with my shoes.

Shoes go IN your ass, dear.

Just head over to the I am Legend thing, they have all kinds of free clothes and stuff.

You sure you were in the right place? That certainly wasn't my impression.

/me looks around his office and becomes mildly concerned.

I'm um...just the janitor. That's it. Just here to empty the trash can and collect empty coffee mugs.

lol - did anyone look at the title to this thread and say to themselves, "Hey! I'm a high class noob, too! Who do these people think they are?" Then it occurred to me that I'm really a pretty low class noob. The high class people are no fun anyway.

Except for Jimmy Choo Inc., right Bren?

Answer wisely, or I will get me a shiny new CSI ass-badge and impound your shoe collection.

/me's bringin' the big truck...

Soory Hon, but even I would not pay those prices for a pair of shoes......*maybe on ebay*

You know your priorities are messed up when you value food and shelter over a pair of Jimmy Choos.

That is a tore up set of priorities.

I could not don my ass badge either. My boots and my hair were shoved in there so tightly, there simply was no room left. But, on a brighter note, my necklace and earrings followed me all night like obedient little pets all night. Bless their hearts. Off to put pixelated KY on pixelated shoes....

No it's not food and shelter. I can get several pairs of Nine West for one pair of Jimmy Choo's.

Ah. Ok.

/me puts shoes IN her ass!

Much better.

Mall shoes? MALL SHOES???!!!


... okay, I take it back. As they carry Vivienne Westwood now, I guess they can't be all bad.

(But please tell me this shoe slumming does not reach down to the level of Payless... please. )

Don't sit

I actually buy most of my shoes at Macy's or Nordstroms.
It has nothing to do with slumming dear. We have something here called snow. And rain.

Besides, truthfully I prefer Michael Kors to Jimmy anyway.
