I was just curious if Linden policy on blogging will follow the same pattern as Linden Radio. Essentially a non-competative, Linden-official source of in world information.


ON A VERY SERIOUS NOTE there is are Linden policies on blogging and one such note is affixed to the leftside of my blog in green. Legalese. Hey, if anyone else wants to be the lovechild of Forrest Gump+Shiina Ringo, I'll bow out.

If I could do any kind of stunts on anything I'd SO invent one and name it The Reverse Torley..

So is he still going to be Hamlet Linden or is he going to get another last name?

New last name. If Hamlet was actually LEAVING, I would have to get my leash around him and give him a sharp correction. :D

"Reverse Torley" sounds like something you'd hear during the Winter Olympics.

Announcer: To keep his hopes for the gold alive after this round, Hamlet will have to pull off the most complex series of moves in his repertoire-- the triple axel double luxe, finishing with a reverse Torley...

And he's preparing for it now...

there's the triple axel...

ah very nice...

now the double luxe...

bravo...

moving into the reverse Torley now...

OH! OHHHH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! TRAGIC TRAGIC NEWS FROM WINNIPEG! AS HAMLET LINDEN FALLS FACE FIRST ON THE ICE THUS KILLING UTTERLY AND IRREVOCABLY HIS CHANCES FOR OLYMPIC GOLD.

We go now to our floor correspondent and silver medalist Nancy Kerrigan to get some live comments from Hamlet as he comes off the ice-- Nancy?

Nancy Kerrigan: WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

Let four captains
Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage;
For he was likely, had he been put on,
To have proved most royally: and, for his passage,
The soldiers' music and the rites of war
Speak loudly for him.
Take up the bodies: such a sight as this
Becomes the field, but here shows much amiss.
Go, bid the soldiers shoot.

Heh. I was in my college's production of "Hamlet", though I only ended up playing Guildenstern. When Fortinbras said, "Go, bid the soldiers shoot", backstage Rosencranz would leer at me and do a naughty thing with his hand.

Thanks for all the kind words all, they're hugely appreciated.

Just to be clear, I have no intention of stopping New World Notes the blog while writing New World Notes the book. I read all these posts that make it sound like I'm about to be erased out of the universe, when in actuality, little should change from the reader or Resident's point of view-- there'll probably be a slight burp as the blog starts displaying ads, and I'll show up in-world as "Hamlet [not a Linden]" but really, that's pretty much it. I'll probably be in-world *more* from now on.

(That last part repeated from the blog.)

So: "How fares our cousin Hamlet?"

My best friend in RL played Fortenbras in Shakesploitation this past year, which was hilarious. They did three interpretations of Shakespeare, including "Kung Fu Hamlet: Burning Fist of Denmark", "Grand Theft Othello: Venice City" and "Romeo and Juliet: Apocalypse". It was pretty damn hilarious.

Here's my man as Othello:

So, are you going to sell your book for L$ on SLBoutique? ;)

You know what? I bet we could stream the next time they do it. They're currently working on a radioplay version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... that could be another winner!
