By all means.



/me sweeps the debris off the couch and coffee table and wonders where the service subs have gone..

So, what do you fancy? spirits, cocktails or shall we start with a fine wine?

What I don't understand is *why*.
Gotta put the "backwards" into backwards compatibility somehow.

I think we should take this opportunity to turn this thread into an erotic writing competition.

The more realistic the world the easier it is to have emotional ties to it.
You've never been to a Science Fiction convention in your life, I can tell.

Good science fiction has strong ties to reality. It is a believable look into the future. If it was just random abstract shapes, it may evoke emotions but I doubt it would be considered good literature.

My Declaration Of Principles

I.

I will provide the people of this grid with a monthly magazine that
will present sex and sexuality and all the beauty of our virtual world
in all clarity, in all simplicity, entertainingly, without a single
concession to any special interest ANYWHERE.



II.

I will also provide them with a fighting and tireless champion of
their rights as residents and
avatars.

and I mean that. so much 4 round one

You've DEFINITELY never been to a Science Fiction Convention.

Look, once you've watched people getting passionate about "The Trouble with Tribbles" or seriously arguing about Sailor Moon or whether Lucas "ruined" Star Wars with CGI, you'll forget all that mush about reality or realism having to do with passion. Passion is about cool, not realism.

Lol it is true that varients on gin and tonix do indeed look like random abstract shapes, and a great many varients make everything else look like random abstract shapes after a sip or two...

I stand corrected :)

And most science fiction is soft porn - and "Story of O" was written by a woman. For almost three years, I have used SL as a socio-political testbed for my own writing. Folks, you have no idea just how important this current debate is to that story. We're gonna lose this battle, but we will win the war.

You're self publicising here now, you're a bit bored now the thread on xsl has died? (actually it appears to have been removed, along with rather a lot of your other threads)

I assume the magazine you're referring to is the one called slut? and which previously was designed to attract the type of people who get theirs thrills from degrading and humiliating women?

and you're the one with the caveman attitude towards women that made me check my calendar last time you crawled out of the woodwork in xsl 18 months ago because suddenly I thought I was back in the stoneage??

check.

Oh, it's simple. SL is just as hierarchical as RL - maybe more so. Here is the pecking order:

2002, 2003 Charter Member = Gods
2003, 2004, 2005 = Archangels
2006 = Angels
2007 PIU = Royalty
2007 PIOF = Courtiers
2007 NPIOF, 2008 PIU, 2008 PIOF = Citizens
2008 NPIOF, 2009 PIU, 2009 PIOF = Peasants
2009 NPIOF = Untouchables


Always knew I was an Angel,... ; D

Since its a done deal and no matter what we say here wont change anything I have a few questions!

1. When we will be able to teleport to Ursula soon and look so we may TRY to choose a sim similar to what we have?

2. Will WE be able to choose the sim where we want to move?

3. I currently have 55324 sqm in my sim and it touches all sides of the sim and its all connected
will I have the same layout as before and water on my sim as before...I don't want my land given to me in sections...I want it all in one piece as it is now...

4. i have a sim picked out already thats the only one near to what i have now...how we be able to choose and who goes first?

5. and most important....since i will own the majority of the sim will there be an option to buy the rest of it since I'm already paying full sim tier...at a fair price comparable to what my sim is worth on the mainland now?

Iworked hard for two years to get what I have and paid dearly for it.....I hope this doesnt turn into a nightmare.
Thanks

Look, it makes no sense to ask this "company". These people are not normal. This whole thing is totaly unique ultra-stupid and such a plan made somewhere in the hell of somebodys brain was never seen on the whole globe at no time before, no matter if virtual or real.

Or do we have any adult continent on this planet? And checkboxes? And multiple levels of being adult? You see! They are mad. Complete. Self-hynotized. Nothing can wake them up.

I need to hold breath, because I am near to flip and freak totaly out as longer I watch this farce going on.

So, I go in shhhhhh-mode. I ducktape myself for today or longer. It is late night here. Maybe a cuba-libre as little helper for sleep. But hold my words in mind: these people are not normal. This is a kafkaeske farce, in any meaning. A nightmare. Complete idiotism, or sadism, or a cocktail made of both.

Maybe stop thinking about LL, playyour thing like you want, and show them your middle-finger if they appear on your land. This is what I would do. Really. Just don't care, they are not from this world. You see it at their plan, their answers and their behavior.

If they would try that in real life, in their own town, the crowd would throw them down from the Golden Gate Bridge immediatly. I am sure.

Send them the adress of the best doctor you know.


Thanks. lol, I've been a bit steaming lately.

As for doctors, here are a few addresses I think they can use

check.

I'm referrin to Jumpman Lane™ 's Slut Magazine ©.

and that thread ABOUT me in xstreet amused. hehehehehe. It SHOULD have been removed as it devolved into an opinion pole about a specific sl resident (me :)), and was riddled with tards accusing each other about violating every tos theycould think of, was filled with trolling and flaming (NOT BY ME this time heheheheheh). all that is grounds for thread removal in the xstreet forums and i approve.

SOMEBODY (not ME! :P) designs crappy BONDAGE furni and has the gall to PRETEND to slide into the saddleof a high horse say I denigrate womens. well i dont tie em up and whip em, I just bend them over pink pose balls :P
(was i supposed to advertize ur crap store for ya heheheheh i unno :p

Just so long as they don't hide away all Vampires: There is for example a different Vampire HUD and web site system, VITAE, which does not involve bite spamming and also includes a combat meter. There are also those combat systems for example Spell Fire, DCS, which have Vampire ranks but which also don't bite spam.

Newbie areas should be NEWBIE areas and exactly that. While we will have (as if we don't have them already!) controls which will age verify we won't have controls which will limit access by SL age. It's not only Bloodlines Vampires who seek new converts in Newbie areas, it's also those older avatars who for example hang out at Help Island not to provide help but to promote thier groups, products and businesses.

I'm all set up for becoming a land mogul buying up land in the new Adult regions: Most regions are likely to have one or more Adult clubs and venues on them which are likely to be busy due to all the hype surrounding the banishment of Adult parcels to them. I can offer a very good price too: 250L maximum per parcel. c.f. region avatar limit!

But why would someone want to advertise their home in search when they have a munch/whatever unless they are intending it to be a public event. I don't agree with all the rules but public listings equate to public events and should be treated under the same rules other venues have to accept with all of this.
From: someone


If you hold a yard sale, advertise it in the paper under yard sales and put up signs does that automaticlaly change your RL from residential to commercial status, taxes and costs? I bet if the city tried it you'd be down at city hall to verbally crack some heads...

Everyone who has a Bell telephone is listed in the local white pages unless they opt out by paying for a private number. The purpose of white pages is to make it easier for someone to find a person or place. I use 411 all the time to find store and friends street addresses so I can get driving directions on Yahoo Maps. Having my RL address listed in a "search" engine does not change it from private residence to public venue.

If one actually intends to run regular daily/weekly events which charge admission or in some way are intended to generate income then I would agree but once a month "free" social events in a resident's private home which they advertise using the ONLY available tool which is a catchall Search function that makes no distinction between "yellow" pages and "white" pages should not result in unreasonable restrictions.

Which is relatively easily checked in RL, but how, pray tell, would you ensure that someone was logging in to SL with a parent or guardian? And that the parent or guardian stayed with them the entire time online? There is enough difficulty getting a passable age verification system in place.


Exactly- Except for the one undeniably effective age verification system- Parental Supervision.

From: someone
And that provision may apply to R ratings, but does not apply to NC-17, or X rated movies.

There are still levels of restriction that keep children out, which includes Fritz the Cat and other animated features which are X rated yet very cartoony.


"Fritz the cat" was rated "x" back in the 1970's, before there was a "pg-13", or "NC-17" rating, and when things were just a tad more straight-laced in the entertainment world.

We're talking about Pre-video recorders, pre-cable tv, practically pre-*pubic hair* (in skin magazines, that is, not generally :)

Compare "fritz the cat" to "South park: Bigger, Longer, and UNcut" (or as the original title went, "South park: Uncircumcised"

Fritz is "x", "South Park is "R'. Which one is "worse"? A cat attempting to boink everything that moves, or SAtan getting buggered by Saddam HUssein and asking *children* for relationship advice?


I'm not saying that there isn't content in SL that some parents would object to, or that children probably shouldn't see.

I'm saying that children are *already* prohibited from seeing such content as long as their parents take a *minimal* interest in their online activities, and that it isn't LL's job (or mine) to act "in loco parentis" for all the children of the world whose parents don't care to do a little work to make sure that little timmy doesn't see some cartoon sex and violence.

These kids are being raised already. It isn't our job to second guess their parent's decisions about child-rearing.

just my two cents

I'm sorry but that really does not answer the question. Anyone with a verified account has always been eligible to move to the Adult Mainland, if they buy it. The question is. What is the criteria used in the case by case review to be eligible for the free move?


I would be surprised if LL told us the exact criteria for the free move to cut down on the amount of people making their plots adult just to get the move for free as that will cost them money if a huge percentage of customers did it just to get the move and i would imagine there is a lot that will. I would imagine after the initial move LL will want to sell Sims on the new adult land area by auction as soon as they can.

Its going be an interesting few weeks thats for sure :)
