Whats your claim to fame?

RL? My office was across the hall from Ernest Gaines and Burton Raffel. Kim Stafford (William Stafford's son), Luis Urrea, and Tess Gallagher have critiqued my poetry, and I took a class, 20th Century American Novel, taught by Coleman Barks.

SL? I post to the forums a ton.

My claim to fame in SL is that I have no claim to fame; that makes me unique in all the world, no?

In RL, I was Premier of Andorra for about a week. My singular action in office was to have the entire principality carpeted - in shag. I thought it looked groovy at the time.

My claim to fame... first one to buy an entire sim... slice and dice it to a gagillion smaller pieces... and sell it to you guys. Oh the joy!!!

Yes?

(I admit it, I've secretly wanted to post something every time I see the phrase "Oh joy" )

*smiles*

Damnit, well I can't use that one.

Giant prim birdie and dwaggie avvies!

Heheheh you know, listing all my "claims to fame" would take so long that I prefer to use that time working towards my next claim to fame
I guess my latest claim to fame is having brought Lawrence Lessig to SL and getting an autographed book off of him

I have no claim to fame, but I was just thinking that I am really, really glad that it's not this:

Did you have a claim to fame thread in beta?

ANYWAY!..

My claim to fame is simple.

I avoid it because i do stupid stuff. If sl would know me I would get reported by everyone and labeled a griefer and I hate griefers! So my claim is I avoid it. Usually famous ppl with exception to lindens end up getting targeted by griefers too. But I have decided to revelutionize the slmarket and create several sims in sl to be very interesting and ppl will love it. I just hope sm1 else do not have same idea cause it might take awhile...

I was the original sign griefer.

I was the first person to upload my music into SL and sell them for $L.

I was one of the first people to go into custom virtual architecture in SL.

I had an article about me and SL in the Detroit Free Press.

I'm (again) the only active Digeridoo left.

I know someone in RL who dated someone who's dating a Linden.

I really know how to wear pants.

RL:

If you remember hearing last year about a company that was firing people for being smokers, even if they smoked off-duty and in their own homes, I had something to do with that.

Notable people met:

Randy Weaver (Ruby Ridge)
Fred Phelps (had the hotel room next to him. Talk about wasted opportunity...)
Phil Donahue told me to "Shut up, kid" when I pointed him out on a Chicago street
Jeremy Rifkin
Various corporate ne'er-do-wells
Jeffrey Wigand, the guy the 1999 movie "The Insider" was based on
Jerry Flint (No, not Larry. Jerry. And you probably don't know who he is anyway. But *I* do.)


SL:

Not notable for a damned thing.

Whatever it was, I didn't do it.

Oh, and I'm currently the only active Rickard Roentgen in SL.

RL

I KNOW ADRIAN MOLE!!! kinda.... .
I was in some stupid Kids TV Programme back in the day (the day being about 15 years ago)

Mmmmmmm, yeah, I suck, although i'm not really famous for that yet!

SL

Being a sloot!
Owning over 2000 skins

Yeah.. I pretty much suck here too, and am slightly more famous for that than in RL!

I used to be one of the highest paid and best known strippers at THE first successful club in SL.

RL...


Uh...

I've had a couple articles published in magazines, but that's not that cool.

I've met Bruce Campbell, that's kinda cool. He once complimented me on my shirt. That's pretty neat.

His father was one of my professors in college. That's even neater.

I've met George R. R. Martin, though only briefly

I've met Piro (Very un-important)

I was with Piro when he was asked by a fan to draw a sketch of one of his characters naked.

I own one of the few copies of Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium in existance

That's about it, off the top of my head...

In SL...

Well, I know a bunch of cool people.

I'm one of the Aerodrome crew, which is pretty swell.

I own land on Seacliff.

Beyond that, not a whole lot.

Oh, I designed the float that won the Birthday Celebration parade back over a year ago.

If you think that's a claim to fame then I don't think I understand what a claim to fame is.
Here's a claim to fame: In Beta, I had calling card permissions from Philip Linden, allowing me full control over his objects (they were later nerfed to disallow copying)
This was because I was working on the official Second Life Disco, the first club evar, and being paid by LL to do it (L$2500 a week)
I ended up deleting it, which apparently gave Philip an epiphany and made him realize they were really going to eventually have to give up control of everything
As for your second question, I dunno, search the forums. And this running gag is really getting annoying you know

Was it annoying in beta?

Ok your claim to fame is having EVERYONE on the forums know you did EVERYTHING in beta



O..M..G.. HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!1oeenee11322twothree13!"
