a "fat bloke from arkansas" ran the free world for 8 years.

OMG..What if VampGirl were really him?

Few things in SL Creep me out, but this would be one of them. Especially if Hilarity were the "Master"

I could see her as the Master, but he is more likely still in noob wear with his prim penis hanging out asking every woman he sees....."Wanna cigar?:

Now, I am not saying that people shouldn't role play, although there is usually good psychiatric help available, but they should keep it as private as is possible in SL.

Umm, who are you to tell people to keep their SL rp private? Seems to me this person was minding her own business, not bothering you, and doing her own thing. If I wrote up a post in the forums everytime someone didn't respond to me when I said Hello or offered assistance, then I'd always be on here. No need to make a big deal about it really. People are people and you never know what that person is going through either.

This is Our World, Our Imagination and unless someone is going out of their way to harrass you then just ignore that which you do not like. People come to SL and stay to experience and live all sorts of fantasies and as long as no law is being broken then people just need to learn to respect others. Just because people roleplay doesn't mean they need to seek a doctors help either. Does your avatar look EXACTLY like you do irl? Do you were the EXACT same clothes, hair, etc on your avatar that you do irl, I highly doubt it. So I wouldn't be passing judgement on others based on things you know nothing of.

Well, SOMEONE was being rude here, and I don't believe it was the girl who was playing by the rules of her chosen 'game.'

Excuse me while I seek psychiatric help to cure my penchant for wearing neko parts and hanging out with vampires...

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Clinton is hardly a recommendation for Arkansas or fat blokes. Rather an adulterous liar who ran America for 8 years. You can consider the US to be 'the free world' if you like, but some of us did geography and political history.

Just curious. If a Vampire Roleplayer goes for total immersion in world, do they only come out at night, or force night whenever they are out? Or are there Vampires who can be out in daylight? (Maybe Reformed) Or do the just wear welding goggles? Or am I being silly?

Well, see, here's the thing. She is not a child, and you are not her parent. Her master is not your child, and you are not his parent. You were not parenting, it is not your place to 'instill good manners'. The girl just didn't answer you, while you decided to butt in instead of minding your own business. In my book, that makes your manners at least as bad as hers. It is none of your business what kind of rules (for instance not speaking to others) people choose to impose on each other in SL roleplay as long as they are not actively harassing you.

Amen, Suzy!

The OP seems to have a low opinion of people who RP (referring to psychiatric help in one post). I don't know if this extends to all RP, just Gor, just BDSM, or what, nor do I really care. The OP's statements lead me to believe that they have a closed mind on the subject and I wouldn't want to "inflict" my beliefs on him/her by trying to change that opinion.

But to answer the somewhat convoluted original question - perhaps the other woman did not see the messages. Often, when I'm in SL I have the search window or map open and am not paying any attention to what is being said around me. Sometimes I have the SL window covered with a browser or some other application, and again - I don't see any messages. Sometimes I am afk and so don't see messages.

It is possible that the woman was not being rude at all, but just genuinely did not see the OP's messages.

I think the OP is taking things *way* too personally. Like others have said - if she didn't answer you, so what? Whether she saw and ignored you, or didn't even notice you in the first place - so what? No law says you have to be polite in SL any more than in FL. People are just people and they will act how they will act. The only person whose actions you can really control are your own.

<sarcasm> (Unless of course you are an undead vampire master and then you can control your victims/subs!)

while there has been some decent discussion as to what is groovy by others in concern of RP, it is also quite clearly a personal discussion and is not what this forum is meant for.

feel free to visit one of the many 3rd party sites to discuss personal feelings about others actions and how they relate to those around them, but as for this thread..

it is closed.
