Mystery of the Skin Oasis

Okay pals here's a little mystery you may like to look into.

In a region called SKIN OASIS there is a pool virtually impossible to penetrate (at least for me anyway ) and at the bottom there are approximately 70 avatars standing doing nothing, not even talking.

When I asked the owner of the land what the avvys were doing there I was banned.


My question fellow forum users is any idea what those avvys might be doing down there ?

(By the way watch out for the guy shouting 'youre next youre next theyre coming to get you')

I'm sooooo on my way there! Will update whether I was indeed next

Guys please dont accept any cards if you go to look Id also refrain from saying youre on your way to look on the forum to.

Sounds like a load of bots to boost traffic.

Update: surreal!!!! Looks like bots to be honest, loads of noob lookers.

Got in , checked it out, met Kelly (Hi!) took some piccies, did a runner .

It's like they're waiting for the world to come to an end.

Hiya Sally

Yeah way weird. Quite creepy really. All stood around starting in the same direction like, as Sally said, they're waiting for the end of the world.

Pity we couldn't get in. I wanted to play pool with them.

Ooooh *shivers*

Thanks for posting those pics Maelstrom, not sure whether it's okay to post the one with the names in, but I doubt they're going to complain

What struck me as weird as well is that there is no way to get down there. Bots I'd say. But worth a look for amusement purposes

Guys if like me you love the adventures of Doctor Who, The Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits you have you go and look at this.....

The question remains though IS IT LEGAL ?

If theyre genuine avatars Im sure the pic can easily be withdrawn with my apologies sally however if as I suspect they were hatched from vegetable pods, point a finger at you and start screeching Im not so sure

Very creepy. It looks like a waiting room to get into hell to me.

Chas and I tried jumping up and down on top of the lake above them but we couldn't break through.

There is no way this can be legal...can it?

They were once bright and lively AV's who danced, loved and lived their second lives to the max.

Until one day they ventured onto an enticing sim, attracted by promises of $1 goodies by a small man with grey empty eyes.

One by one they were led to the pool and pushed into the icy waters. Once at the bottom they scrambled to get out, clawing at the sheer walls - until the man locked his penetrating stare on them. Then he reached into them and took their souls. And now they are doomed to forever stand and stare into the abyss of darkess.

People game the traffic figures. Who knew?

LOL Bradley

Another thing that occurred to me is that those bots are creating so much lag, the shopping part doesn't even rez properly. Kinda defeats the object I'd say

Fantastic!

well Bradley I thought I should let Lindens know about this just in case some sort of avatar theft or account duplication was going on...as usual I got the fill in abuse forms and tickets routine. Lindens have WAY to much red tape regarding problems. This should simply be a matter of them dispataching someone to check everything is okay and not a threat to innocent sl users.

I'm seriously worried about the water purification plants north of Gloucestershire.

LOL!!!! Now THAT'S a great imagination - you should write a book!!

Ask Sandy about it. I think I seriously weirded him out last night

/me goes for walk in the woods behind our cottage to play with the elves, chat with the fairies and flirt with all of the cute woodland creatures. But that's enough of RL. Let's get back to Sl for some normality.

This place is eery, but the store is if anything even weirder. The creator of the lake and store owner hangs out, totally immobile (probably due to running a hundred bots off one computer), and a very odd guy appears and confronts people in Portuguese. Possibly the guy who banned Maelstrom.

I hung around for a bit after Brad had gone and had a little conversation with the odd guy. The owner hung in the air next to us.

Then a guy - odd guy - appears, in full newbie regalia of blue jeans, white t-shirt and ginger hair. He was born yesterday
odd guy: OI GOSTOSA
odd guy: voce mora aonde
You: ?
You: Stop bumping into me, please
odd guy: united states
You: No
odd guy: my name is avec
You: I can see that
odd guy: you sor name
You: Lag is bad here. Probably due to the corpses under the lake
You: Interesting idea
odd guy: bye bye baby

This is when I think he’s about to eject and ban me

You: What, are you the customer relations guy
You: Bouncy chap aren't you
odd guy: yes
odd guy: my brazilian
You: Cool! I like Brazil

The odd guy then offers me friendship

odd guy: my adiciona
You: Sorry, I like to get to know people before I accept friendship. Thanks anyway
odd guy: Hey!
odd guy: yes
odd guy: oi

This is when a another avi joins us, dressed only in white boxers and long black socks.

Man in underpants: hello

Does odd guy now declare his love for me, or for the guy in underpants?

odd guy: my love
You: Eh?
odd guy: yes
You: ??
You: Hi ‘man in underpants’
Man in underpants: hello guys
You: Looking for some clothes, man in underpants?
Man in underpants: No, I enjoy walking around semi naked

odd guy: my your love
You: Oh, all right then
You, to man in underpants: I think odd guy’s fallen in love with me
Man in underpants: Hello sexy


This is when I left odd guy and man in underpants to sort themselves out.

And yes, Sally, the lag was tremendous.

I wish I could get the Twilight Zone theme to play when people look at this thread

Didn't quote the whole thing to save on space (carbon footprint and all that) but that was hilarious!!!

Ahhh the joy of laughter

Chas, I think you owe my neighbors an explanation why I woke them up in the middle of the night laughing. Now I'm sorry I left.

Oh well, I got to chat with Sally a bit. That's the better end of the deal.

ROFL Chas! Priceless.

@ Maelstrom, that would be very cool


@ Bradley : aww thanks! This feel-good Friday think is sooo working for me!
