And probably proposed to. Several times.


Especially if they still rode the Zebra. I mean... gas prices.. come on!

There are places with "No Child Avatars" rules...

There are places with "No Exposed Butts" rules...

I just go somewhere else. (=_=)


That's about the size of it. It might frustrate me at times to have one of those "no kids" places, but it's a big SL, ya know? Chances are I did't really wanna go in there.

'sides, this seems to be more about dress code than avatar choice, really.

Naked on a Zebra sounds so uncomfortable.

Chap, it's not a country asking ambassadors to abandon tradition, it's a Second Life sim, paid for with their hard-earned and therefore entirely subject to their rules, however much you feel hard done by.

What you choose to RP and they choose to entertain are two completely different things.

If you want a RL comparison minus the ambassadorial stuff, if you were to visit my house and I asked you to take off your muddy shoes before coming in, would you comply or would you moan about me trampling all over your right to wear muddy shoes where you damn well pleased?



Yes, I would take off my muddy shoes. So you’re equating me to dirtying their realm. I see.

I agree with you completely about it being their money. It is just unfortunate.

No, the removal of muddy shoes are simply my house rules. Your assumption that it equates to dirtying their realm is ridiculous.

Only one mentioned the pants. They were not an admin. Just a resident I asked. Others residents said I was fine too. I got in trouble when I brought it to the administrators attention.

Why should I wear a loincloth like some wild beast or primitive. That is rather disrespectful in general or in a role play. Do I have to earn my rights? Is it that sort of situation? I guess that could be fun. :P


You have to wear enough to cover up. Nobody said you were required to wear a loincloth. They said that was a minimum. Honestly, I'm not sure how "medieval" loin cloths were, so they were already bending the rules a little for you. Don't pretend now that it was the loincloth. It was the fact that you couldn't do whatever you wanted to do on their sim.

This sense of entitlement you have will get you nowhere. If you want to be entitled to do whatever you please, then buy a sim. You can make a rule that everyone has to wear floral print Capri pants and Mets jerseys if you want. If somone comes in wearing a Cubs jersey, they'll probably end up here posting about how your sim discriminates against people from Chicago.

Some do. Not me. I use "fur" as a term meaning "furry" which means anthropomorphic being.

If you want an example of such a dragon with fur, think of or look up Falcor from The Never Ending Story.

This is turning out to be almost as entertaining as the woman who went to the Gor Sim, harrassed and made fun of them, then complained when they followed her around doing the same.

it's vitally important to jump to conclusions, be they false or otherwise, or there would be no controversy nor drama..... and then where would we be?

* Here to have fun, relax, and enjoy the sights. I do not take SL seriously so don't involve me in your drama. Understand this is SECOND LIFE, not real life. If you take SECOND LIFE seriously, fine, but understand I do not and do not want to get involved in any of your drama. -=- Here to make friends and have fun. ^.=.^ -=-

so Dragon, are you making friends and having fun yet?

I may have missed it, but is the problem that you have visible "bits" that might offend? :confused:

Genitalia are covered. I bet if I was a female drow I would be safe. That is their style of clothing, those the outfit is more inspired by Bowser Koopa with a bit more spice.

Your right. I do need my own sim. Maybe someday. Then I can make my own rules, but the sad thing is I would probably be very liberal and welcoming of all people as long as they are not trying to crash the sim or with guns blazing at each other. xD

Dragon bits. Is that some kind of food item?

"Caesar Salad, please. Hold the dragon bits, I'm watching my weight."

that's discriminatory against griefers and those who like to brandish their weapons. you are very closed-minded.
