In the beginning there was Linden, who existed in Void. From the Void, Linden created the Sim, and Linden saw this was better than Void. The Sim was empty, and to fill it Linden created the Avatar. The Avatar lived, and Linden saw that it was good. Linden saw that the Avatar lacked purpose, and gave the Avatar four gifts. The first gift was the Prim, for with Prim comes form. The second gift was the Texture, for with Texture comes depth. The third gift was the Script, for with the Script come life. The fourth gift was the Sim, for in it all things were possible. The Avatar took these gifts, and with them created the World. .... All praise Linden for the Gifts.
All praise the Prim for it's form.
All praise the Texture for it's depth.
All praise the Script for it's life.
All praise the Avatar as the Technomancer!.... Amen...Anyone want to join a cult?  (This is what happens when Foolish gets bored. I bored Fool is a creative Fool, and NOONE want's that!) |

Yea, and unto this world he drew the Beta Testers from the Empty Void that is teh Internets, breathing Second Life into them.
And they were glorious creatures, and lived in great harmony.
Their days were filled with Art and Science; they created cooperatively, and stood shoulder to shoulder, singing praises each day.
And they were the First In-world Creators.
Long they laboured to create the world, with the gentle guiding hand, to pave the way for a new being - the Residents who would inherit this world.
Thus it was, and soon the world was populated. Not all remained in harmony, however...

From: someone In the beginning there was Linden, who existed in Void.
From the Void, Linden created the Sim, and Linden saw this was better than Void. Although the void had roughly 1000X the FPS. From: someone The Sim was empty, and to fill it Linden created the Avatar.
The Avatar lived, and Linden saw that it was good. The Avatar posted many hotline posts regarding "it not good," but Linden never read. From: someone Linden saw that the Avatar lacked purpose, and gave the Avatar four gifts.
The first gift was the Prim, for with Prim comes form. Form, and lag. From: someone The second gift was the Texture, for with Texture comes depth. And greyness. Lots of greyness. From: someone The third gift was the Script, for with the Script come life. And grid crashes. From: someone The fourth gift was the Sim, for in it all things were possible. Or at least so said the prophet "marketing hype dept." From: someone The Avatar took these gifts, and with them created the World. Sadly, the Avatar was a drooling overgrown adolescent, and the world consisted primarily of pixel porn and camping chairs... |

All these mighty works of which you sing are the but the brief dances of mayflies, when matched against the long, slumbering dream of Dwellnor...

This kind of reminds me of the elements of hip-hop, but there are five of them now. Cult, Foolish? Second Life is my religion. Nice writing!  |

Please report to your closest 'priest of SL' for your prize! A wonderderful vacation back to your first life! With it, goes free transport of all your baggage! Isn't that lovely! Guido! Please escort the Heret... Winner... off to his just reward now! <disclaimer. the above was said in humor and character of the thread. It is not an attempt to make someone 'go away' or to belittle his opinion. While pathetic I have to say this, it seems some people have no sense of humor, and since I can't tell who those people are...> |
