From: Trout Recreant
I don't care in SL at all for some reason. Maybe because I figure it's a regional thing that isn't as accepted where I live as it is in other parts of the world, so I just don't sweat it.
That is because in sl whe people call YOU hun it's more like in 'Attila' rather than the the other kind.. - Wait maybe I am projecting on you...  .d

From: Takahiro Murasaki LMs in slexchange or in avi's picks or adverts that are no longer valid. The problem with that is..you have to be standing in the sim that you want the pick to parallell..in order for the picture to actually be of the place the LM takes you to..((you have to be standing there and make it while standing there) I've had several people tell me well your LM took me to so and so place and I wanted to look at your build..well half of the stuff I've built is no longer active..but i still wanna show the picture in my picks...what do i do? Trent..yea being brought up in the south was a different experience..painful..sweet..all in a different way from being brought up in another region..if you're ever south of D.C. and hear it said..down to georgia..it's pretty safe to assume you're not being patronised..They've been taught you're one of Gods children Lana

Dear Diary,
So, there I am with my Mongol horde sweeping across the plains of Central Asia when all of a sudden, BAM there's this giant wall blocking our path. I'm thinking, "Hey! WTF!? Where did this wall come from?" I look North and the damn thing stretches as far as I can see. Then I look South and ditto. Now I'm getting pissed. I can't friggin' BELIEVE those $#%@^ Chinese put up ban lines! I swear, all I want is some decent General Tso's chicken and this is the crap I get. This wall is super ugly, too. It's tall and long and all bricky.
Anyway, I stood there for a while and particle spammed them by having my guys lob rocks, spears and arrows over the wall, but that got me nowhere. Then I went to tunnel underneath and remembered that we forgot the shovels at home. So I gave up and went to the Subway for lunch instead. It was delicious. I had the BMT with double meat.
I hear that fellow Hammurabi was doing some interesting things with elephants. maybe I can use one of those to get through this Chinese Ban Line Wall of Bad Neighborliness. Maybe I'll just go kill someone to the south instead. It depends on how drunk I get.
Anyway, Ta for now,
Attila
PS: do you think Misty likes me? I do. She smiled at me today.

1) Gesture spam 2)Drama 3)butt prims 4)the first question asked.Where are you from..this drives me nuts because i feel like i am talking to the same person i did 10 minutes ago that ask the same question to break the ice.. 5) using you calling cards or friends list to run adds for your clubs every freaking day.. 6) people that send TP's without an im for the reason why. 7)Friendship list adds before saying hi or even getting to know me at all  flooded with notecards and LM's at the port landings.. 9) people dropping landmarks on me without asking 10) people that friend you then only im you to borrow money over and over and over..you would think the no responses would send the hint.

-People with big hats, hair-dos, or just plain big heads who insist on sitting in front of me in the theatre. They usually arrive at the last possible second so you can't move to another seat.
-Taxi drivers who speak on their cels - cels I can't see since I'm sitting in the back seat. They'll resume a conversation they had on hold while I got settled in, and of course I'll think they're talking to me. Hilarious confusing conversation ensues - NOT.
-People who refuse to replace the toilet paper roll when it's empty, especially at work, so you have to stay in a sitting position for at least 2 minutes until that last drop of urine finally drips so you are able to waddle over to the fresh rolls (always beyond sitting reach) with your pants around your ankles.
-This is one of my biggest pet peeves, people who confuse being shy with being inconsiderate. I recently spent an hour doing errands (which involved speaking with at least 5 different people) with a big blob of dried tomato sauce on my chin. Telling someone their face is covered in newspaper smudge, or that their zipper is open, etc is not rude! Not telling them is.
Oh, was this suppose to be about SL? Not much drives me crazy in there...

Is this before or after you fart in my general direction?  .d

Nothing that happens in SL is going to get too far under my skin, but then again very little really does in RL. But we do have our little "Do not push" buttons....

From: Trout Recreant I've had the feeling before that people call me that when they think I'm too stupid to understand what they're saying. It's the verbal equivalent of patting me on the head and handing me a cookie to keep me quiet. Bleah. /me pats Trout on the head Chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, hun?

#1 - spam of any kind. ESPECIALLY when someone joins an open group (which forbids spam in the description clearly) just to send an unwanted & unrelated "Party at my (store) place, all welcome! IM for teleport!"
#2 - Land owners that don't set auto-return.
#3 - Laggarts, Snapshot Slideshows that cycle through oodles of textures all day every day. Billion Textures areas, stores, or private areas that take days to rez, if they ever do fully.
#4 - Scriptards: Woo, I'm wearing 20 attachments that all change colors as *FAST* as they possibly can... sending 400+ "object updates" out every single second in a crowded areas.
#5 - Freeloaders.
Can you give me money?
Can you make a (rip off of someone else's creation) for me? I can't afford theirs.
i need u to teach me how 2 (do something nearly impossible and complicated). (lazy questions get lazy answers.)
#6 - resellers that don't ask for permission before reselling.
#7 - scammers that sell freebies at seriously jacked up prices.
#8 - adfarms
#9 -

1. SL shops that hide their stuff so well that you give up after half an hour of searching. My favourite jeans manufacturer has an LM that takes you to a large set of stores. I know there are nice men's jeans there somewhere, but which of those five stores houses them? I don't know, because there aren't any signposts anywhere, so I have to spend half an hour in a laggy sim trying to search for them. If you don't actually want to sell your stuff, why bother setting up a shop? I end up buying most of my stuff on SLX now.
2. Airhorns at clubs. I'd like to see a mod to SL so that if anyone sets off an airhorn, the land immediately becomes damage-enabled for that person alone, so that they can be shot on sight.

Simple... divide your club into 16m's Have a script activate on airhorn Script changes parcel settings on that 16m only and drops nuke script resets parcel settings back to no damage/no push There may be some collateral damage.

From: Zed Kiergarten More minor stuff.. Teleporting to land for sale only to find: - Ban lines (especially right on the border of the land for sale) - Arriving in someones home, apparently the propertly was purchased long ago - Going to that "corner property" only to find they mean it has a corner, not that its on the corner of the SIM - Again, having someone immediately fly after you to put on their sales pitch - Being offered dozens of landmarks and notecards automatically - You say low lag, yet there are 4 rows of campers somewhere in SIM and I can hardly move around - Covenant: buildings must only be of the size of the smallest edge of your land multiplied by 3 factorial divided by 6, subtract 3 of your nearest neighbors.. oh, and you can only use brown and curtains must also conform to brown, this is an island after all... ignore the fact that your immediate neighbor has a shiny green glowing home thats right on the property line (they don't count apparently) I've been looking to buy land recently and I've found almost everything on this list. One other thing I've seen is ads that say the land has a "water view". This can mean one of two things: - There's a puddle on the other side of the sim that you can see if you set your draw distance to maximum - You can see plenty of water – over your head! The entire property is submerged! I also hate that the map doesn't update quickly enough. Someone on the forum said she was going to be buying new land soon. I knew her old land was in the sim where I used to live so I checked the map to see if she was selling it. The map said it was for sale so I teleported there only to find that the land had been sold the previous day. How come search can be updated so quickly that a bot can buy land in two seconds but they can't update the map after 24 hours?

From: Weston Graves
3. While we're on the subject of ladies. Would more of you consider putting some meat on your bones? Anorexic mannequins are not always attractive. At least not if half the ladies you meet are that way. There's nothing wrong with being Rubenesque or womanly.
.
Finally, someone else to bring this out. Yes, the skinny, no ass, no thighs look is definitely out. It just doesn't look sexy without some of that. Just having big breast is not enough. You'll fall face first without padding yourselves some more. You need to know where to go to find the fine sexy woman in sl. The shapely ones from top to bottom. As they say, it's always about the booty.

shopping complaints
02-27-2008 19:21
For a girl who likes to preen in new clothes, I absolutely hate the actual shopping experience. I get exhausted walking through gargantuan stores, I hate walkways that lead to nowhere outside entrances, pools of water you have to walk around and other obstacles to getting in the bloody place to begin with. I hate wind-y staircases - I often fall off trying to get to the next level, end up trying to fly up and bump my head on the ceiling.Please, shop owners, delete the archetectural gewgaws and lay out the store without twists, turns and endless empty space.
