Evil titlers

I'm suddenly very tempted to make this...

And take the consequences.

There's no difference between "saying something" through the Evil Titler and saying it through open chat.

And if you're the type of person who finds the idea of apologizing for inadvertently hurting someone's feelings offensive, then you're likely to suffer negative consequences than if you're not. The OP suffered negative consequences. That's life.

Oh please. In this case the law doesn't apply because of the rules of the game. The person wearing the titler needs to take it off and stop playing. It's not the Sunshine and Rainbows Titler. It's not the Warmy Fuzzies and Bunnies Titler. They acceded to the rule of a game, and if they don't like it, they should get out. Then the normal laws apply.

There is an RLV command to disallow detaching objects, which would do it.



If you have a trusted RL friend who's game, you can give them admin rights (to install software) to your computer and take them away from yourself.

The rules are, don't be an asshat.
That's it. It's not "the fact that I can change it to anything means that I don't have to care what the effect on others is."

What it all boils down to are the motivations of the person putting text in the title.
Did they expect that the wearer would find it funny?
If they did, then there was a misunderstanding, and an admission of that is pretty much an apology.
If they thought it would annoy the wearer, then they were behaving badly - particularly so if they were simply a J Random Passerby.

Hmmm - I wonder if that is why that guy and his wife got upset with me at the last St. Patty day parade.

The person wearing the Evil Titler is the asshat and deserves everything they get.

There is a big difference. Playing a game is different from casual conversation. The Evil Titler is a 20m radius game that invites people to make the wearer the butt of some kind of joke. They don't get to choose the jokes that they are the butt of, and should not complain when one they don't like surfaces.

If the OP made such a joke about her for all to hear, uninvited, or in a casual conversation that was completely unrelated to the situation, it would be different. And the OP would probably have apologized.

I don't find the concept offensive. And I don't care that the OP got banned, it was the landowner's right. But I don't believe we should coddle childish people who can't play by their own rules.

You don't have to be a Friend to mess with her collar

............ just saying

The game basically invites you to be an asshat. If you don't like it, don't play.

I thought so too, until I checked the API. You can only keep an item from being detached if it contains RLV script itself. From the API...

"* Render an object detachable/nondetachable : "@detach=<y/n>"

Implemented in v1.0a When called with the "n" option, the object sending this message (which must be an attachment) will be made nondetachable. It can be detached again when the "y" option is called."

Clothing can be made non-removable, but non-RLV attachments can't.

So it is. Huh. I wonder why that's missing.

A transparent HUD overlay along with disabling the inventory window would do it. But yes, now that's reaching a bit.

No detach is something else to add to the "Eviler Titler"

As Love will confirm, I don't mess inworld with any D/s people.

Pep (I like messing with them in the forums though)

When I checked, I thought it was pretty odd.

As I have never met you in-world (that I know of, man of 6 alts), I cannot confirm that.

Perhaps you're familiar with an Evil Titler that's different from the one I've seen. The one I've seen doesn't say anything about it being a game, nor does it say to make the wearer the butt of a joke. It only says that anyone other than the wearer can set the title, that it will stay that way until the next timer event, and that the wearer can't change the title.

Where did you get the idea that you were supposed to use it to make a joke at the wearer's expense?

Oh, let's reconnect to reality. What is it, if not a game? As for the joke, I take it as being implied from the fact that it is, you know, EVIL.

...Unconditionally. If there are conditions, add them to the scripted announcement. (=_=)

The only ones I have ever seen have been worn by "slave girls", escorts, and others who were made to wear it in order to be degraded. Most of the titles I have seen, I could not write in this PG forum. It has been a long time since I have seen one, but it was pretty obvious that making the wearer the butt of the joke was the whole point of the matter.

QFT.

If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be guessing that it's a game, and you shouldn't be participating until you find out. The name suggests that some humor is involved, but that's not enough to go on.

Okay, Kidd, whatever. You're the one who is trying to contort the situation to make your point.

The name suggests that evil is involved. (^_^)
