I'm not sure what it means but I think I'm feeling subjunctive right now.

Easy question.

I'd take orders and do the best I could on whatever the Philip, Cory, and Robin deemed a priority, while fighting for features I thought were important. :)

It's kinda like what i do now as a regular resident, except I don't take orders and I don't have access to the source code. :p

In order to counter Hiro's incredibly practical and reasonable post, I will posit myself as Bigdamn Linden, the Linden who makes everyone watch 'Serenity'.

Uh, why, yes, I did just get 'Serenity' as an early Christmas present... why do you ask? :)

I would so name myself either Mal Linden or Wash Linden. :)

Ballad of Second Life

Take my land
Take my things
Lag me with
Excessive ping

I don't care,
SL's free
You can't take
Away my A-V.

Log me off
Screen turns black
Unplug the server
from the rack

I don't care,
I'm a furry
You can't take
Away my A-V

Got no place
I can't be
since they allowed
P-2-P

Hoochie hair,
Bling jewelry
You can't take
Away my A-V
You can't take
Away my A-V

If i be Linden

I'd take the name Shiva Linden. I would never under any circumstances read the forums, though i would post often.

I'd take a hell of a lot of land, and not have to pay tier.

I'd fly about, subtly shifting builds by the barest fraction of a meter.

I'd close sims without warning, blame griefers, then shut down the grid so i could have lag-free play for hours.

I would personally inspect each and every gambling table. Twice.

Ulrika would become my willing succubus.

The neural jack would be powered down only long enough to sleep. Intravenous feeding would leave a minty taste, like liquid altoids. The drugs would be carefully measured.

Every god damn Impeach Bush sign would be gone. All lands would transfer to the avatar with the fewest holdings in each sim, tier fees waved.

My avatar would blind your feeble eyes.

You would love me. Or die.

If I were a Linden...

Am I the last person alive who knows the subjunctive mood? :(

~Ulrika~


Thank you for your recent inquiry into missing moods. I regret to inform you that we're trying to slowly whittle all communication down to a singular sound that can be delivered in different ways to convey any thought. This change in company policy has forced us to discontinue our subjunctive mood line of products. You can still download all previous support patches from one of our mirror sites, but compatibility with future versions of this platform is not guaranteed. We thank you for your past support, and would like to inform you of our new company motto, "Snakes are perfect in their simplicity, that's why they've barely changed in millions of years. It is man that is disfunctional in his complexity." An acronym is planned, but until then we'll just write it in really small type, gradually decreasing it by a letter every few months until the letter "S" conveys the entire phrase to anyone aware of our marketing scheme.
