... because BOY would I like to answer some of those Hotline posts myself. Grrrr. And no, they wouldn't be professional Linden-like answers either. I'd like to tell some of those self-absorbed idiots a few home truths frankly

I'd rearrange everyone's builds so they didn't overlap. Then I'd set them all to chrome. Afterward, Kris would ban me.

I'd create my own cute little Linden Bear with wings and a halo.
 Then I'd put in a script to make it replicate itself once every 5 seconds, set it in the Welcome Area, and watch it TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! MWAH-HAH-HAH.... ...ahem. I'd also give free cheese and pie to all.  _____________________

For just one day? I don't know. Dive into the bug bin and troubleshoot my little heart out. Maybe bump some pet projects up on the priority list. Come up with a revolutionary compression algorithm to eliminate rez lag. Try to be useful enough that I rate another day... and another, and another. Convince them to open a studio in Maryland

Oh and if I were Linden for a day, I would log in as Phillip and give his AV a complete make over. Or at very least change the sequined shorts to gold lamé. _____________________

I concur, I most heartily concur! And don't worry about lag or prim drift or TP malfunctions or marketing to a new demographic, Phillip, just fix your frickin' HAIR! |

Linden for a day? I wouldn't go in-world at all.
I would hang out at LL all omnipotent and omnipresent spying on everyone in SL. When I came across a couple, ya know, 'getting friendly,' I would send them a little blue pop-up window that said something encouraging like, 'Way to go, man!' or 'Slow way, way down' You know, something helpful. Does this make me evil? _____________________

Linden for a day? I'd hang out on all the hidden Linden sims, viewing all the magical stuff that no one gets to see. I hear they have a unicorn there next to the Cappucino Maker!
Then I'd go have a beer with Philip. _____________________

Does this make me evil? yes. especially if you start playing samples of frank zappa's "sssscentral ssscrew-tinizer" bits over the whole scene... (can't remember which album... "joe's garage"?? the one with "wet tshirt contest" on it hehee i'm-a lin-den, you're-a lin-den, he's-a lin-den, she's-a linden, wouldn't you like to be a linden too?? oh, umm, if i were a linden... well, i guess i would be inside on an sl-capable machine... instead of still just nosin' around the forums here on this ol' thing... _____________________

If I was a Linden for a day. I'd go around with my Liden title to all the ladies and be macking the name. Then I'd say "If you were a bag of chips and I was a battery. I'd be Everready and you'd be Frito-Lay" oh or maybe "Don't believe everything you hear the bubonic plague hasn't affected all the important parts." Yes horrible pick up lines like crazy but who cares cause I'd be a Linden girls sexxors the Lindens.

I would ban everyone for a day, steal Philip's avatar, strip down naked, put on a Chicken Hat, script 1000 tinies to follow me and hold a march through every PG sim with Video Linden following the action.

Juro, you kill me! LOL Hmm... were I to be a Linden for a day ... I'd create a land owner's tool wereby upon the arrival of an avie that is over-burdened with self-created, lag-inducing scripts, prims, etc. the owner can "switch" them off while they're on the premises. In the case of prims, a pop-up notifier to the prim-pack mule letting them know that if they reduce their burden, they'll enjoy that which the parcel has to offer just that much more. Secondary to that, I'd create a way to have folks get a pop-up notifier that their system settings are not helping them, and confirm that much of the lag they're experiencing is self-generated, client-side, and their own fault, thereby ending the whining the rest of us need to suffer through about their lag. Also, I'd see that the default settings for audio-visual stuff are not at MAXIMUM but at MINIMUM for the detected system with a handy notecard given, or lesson on orientation island/welcome area to teach folks how to adjust their own settings for maximum useability and minimum hassle/lag. The Imp in me would take that green "noobie pointer" and make one that rezzes red over a self-lagger, following them around like a Scrubbie, so all know to ignore their pleas, as they've been fully notified by the above methods to their into-a-corner-painting habits. Not that I get sick of turning off pretty displays or lights because others don't set their systems correctly. I like light dammit! I like particles in judicious amounts for night club kinda displays. Oh one more thing ... Make it so that one can set audio from an avie (repeated exaggerated lol/giggle cues, song clips, effects) can be specifically muted, just like an avie. The person who enjoys the cues can listen to them over and over but those that don't, only once, hit mute and move on. I wouldn't mind being able to wholesale mute non-system sounds too, handy when running an event, as a land tool, cutting it out for everyone, with a notice to the person when they trigger the cue that it's disabled here, like a no-build zone.

I'd rearrange all the sims on the grid so they spell "Teeny" in large letters.
