From: Martin Magpie Or think back to what sl was like before money became an issue.
You mean, ugly, tiny, and doomed?

I am myself indifferent honest; but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

Money isn't evil. It's a reward. A voucher. We don't reward people with chickens and pigs because livestock has a way of dying on us. They say money stinks, well have you forgotten what pig shit smells like? Imagine how Ms Barbie Lapdancer will feel when Mr Tree Love puts a chicken in her thong as a tip?  The people who make SL their rl job deserve as much respect as any other game developer, because that is what they do, develop YOUR game. I was speechless when i saw Starax' wand, overwhelmed by the beauty and genius. You really think i would wanna play a GAME where all i get to see is someone like you in your noob skin under a Linden tree, because you have nothing to do, no clubs, no games, no clothing, no nothing, not even a damn ball to click on?  I gladly spend money on content creators and gladly trade the ones i collect, because gosh i love shopping in sl and in rl!

From: Leyla Firefly The people who make SL their rl job deserve as much respect as any other game developer, because that is what they do, develop YOUR game. The deserve respect for what they do, whether they do it for a RL living or not. From: someone I was speechless when i saw Starax' wand, overwhelmed by the beauty and genius. It does seem to be the "category killer" for the whole gesture enhancer genre, yes. After seeing it, I gave up any thoughts of writing my own... it's just insanely cool. From: someone You really think i would wanna play a GAME where all i get to see is someone like you in your noob skin under a Linden tree, because you have nothing to do, no clubs, no games, no clothing, no nothing, not even a damn ball to click on? Don't sweat it, give me privs on some land and I'll make you something cool. Because I love programming in SL and RL. |
