with hundreds of Noobs coming in every week, i thought someone should start posting tips for noobs to get adjusted to their new life.
some of you out there might be wondering in such a big world, how anyone can get noticed. not everyone can live with anonymity. but sl is not an easy game to become accomplished in to earn acclaim. "you can't just rotate a plant and become famous here," said one tso refuge. it's true, making things is tough. so i offer my first tip to noobs:
Post! Post often! And make it contreversial. Find something that you don't like about SL and post about it again and again. in every thread you can. it doesn't matter that everyone gets your point. it doesn't matter that your points have been categorically refuted. it doesn't matter if nobody agrees. the goal is exposure. you can try posting in an intelligent and dynamic manner but i advise against it. that takes effort and can slow down progress.
what matters is that everyone in sl will know your name and will be talking about you. it's a tested and proven method and it can work for you!
good luck!

You know what Jauni, yes, that works. But not all of us WANT that kind of fame. Ask anybody who knew me in any other game, or anywhere. Believe me, it's not something anyone would wish on themselves. And in any event, I never would have remained anonymous. As I have said, I came INTO this game as a member of the FIC. I just don't particularly care for what I have had to talk about so much here. This gives me just all that much more to climb up from, and if you think I enjoy that, you are purely mistaken. You can bloody well believe that I don't like it, not one bit. Not one bit. I resent it, in fact, and what it's done to my game. coco P.S. Somebody come along now, and say, "This isn't about you at all." It's expected. I'll be bloody disappointed if you don't.

Hey, it worked for me! When I started I was a lowly animator. Now look at me, puppet master of the FIC. ~Ulrika~

If you're a member of the FIC, why did you feel so unwelcome when someone placed their tongue-in-cheek FIC banner at the two year anniversary party? Why was your sit-in demonstration necessary if you belonged all along? Now I'm a little confused.

Now I'm a little confused. i'm confused how she started off as an fic. can you transfer fic points from a different game? or is it a special membership class. - lifetime, premium, basic, and fic. i missed it on my way in.

What's the conversion rate between FIC points and Kool-Aid Kool Points? I still have a couple thousand o' them in a box somewhere. Ahh, what a misspent childhood.

I was wondering that myself. I had to sell my soul to Beryl Greenacre before they would even tell me about the FIC, let alone let me into it (I won't tell you what I had to do get in - what happens in Stanford stays in Stanford  ). I am outraged that someone could enter as part of the FIC right out the gate. It took Torley at least 48 hours to become the mascot of the FIC. The sad part is with Torley gone, donations are down so all we could afford for a new mascot was Pandastrong Fairplay - and sadly, he does not look like one of the tiny pandas as expected. He doesn't even have a color scheme. He has only a man purse and a piss poor attitude.

I've been pining for that mascot position for months and this was supposed to be my chance. I got no chance. /me puts away the cute "McWoof the FIC Dog" avatar he's been slaving away at for the last three months, never to see it again. It's all true, what they say about the FIC! It's all true! /me weeps with bitter indignation at the cruelty of people and the world
