Caroline Takeda Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Today's article is about attitude “Speak English or I don’t answer you”. That was the phrase of the day yesterday. I think it’s probably one of the most arrogant, ignorant and discriminative statement, I have heard so far in Second Life. What makes it even worse is that the person it was said to, was actually using a German – English translation tool. Of course those tools are less than perfect but at least this person made an effort to be understood therefore I believe the other participant should have the courtesy to make an effort too.

SL is an International community so yes sometimes there are going to be language barriers. But to make an issue of it really sucks. And while this statement and observation is purely anecdotal, I'd say there are percentage wise more International (that is, not American) residents who speak English as a second language then there are Americans who have a second language. Wasted E. would have loved this conversation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Takeda Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hello Everybody Ever tried to role play the Gor stuff? I know people that tried and gave up frustrated, because it seams to be sooooo complicated. All those rules, notecards and contradictional websites and opinions. No wonder people say, f*ck this **bleep**, I am here to have fun not to get a master in philosophy! But it actually isn't that difficult. All you need to know to get started, you find in my latest article: Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Takeda Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hello everybodyToday I am touching on a delicate subject again:Is there actually a demand for escorts in Second Life? What I mean is , there is so much adult content available for free, so why would one pay for such services?I did some investigations about the matter and my conclusion is: NO, there is not much demand for that. I think the escort scene is DEAD. Read here why I think so:Looking forward to your opinions about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Takeda Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hello again, todays blogpost is about starting a character for Gorean roleplay - a slave girl. I tried to accomplish this with a minimal cost, as most new players would not want to invest a lot of Lindens for an outfit to try Gorean roleplay. I managed to get a char started with as little as 46 Linden. Here is how: http://www.second-life-adventures.com/slave-girl-on-gor-story/ I would greatly appreciate if anyone could post links or slurls to places where the reader can find free or cheap but authentic Gorean outfits. Have fun Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syo Emerald Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 From all the roleplays you could have selected you chosed the most overrated, sexist, dramaloaded roleplay with the highest count of weirdos you could find? Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Takeda Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yes, because that could help to clearify some missconceptions about Gorean Roleplay to noobs. But dont worry I will get into other roleplays as well. The Gorean one is without a doupt the biggest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Takeda Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hello fellow Residents. Todays blog post is about a place were horny noobs go for quick and dirty satisfaction. Probably one of the most creepy and ugly adult places I have seen so far in Second Life. Can it get worse? http://www.second-life-adventures.com/dirty-dive-second-life/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Takeda Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hello Todays article is about the best way to get started with your very first home in Second Life. The famous (infamous) Linden Homes. If you have/had a Linden Home yourself, please leave a comment on the blog. I would be very interested to have some reviews from actuall owners/residents on the site, for noobs to get an educated idea about what they are going into . http://www.second-life-adventures.com/linden-homes/ Pros/cons, experiences, etc... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm going to disagree than a Linden Home is the best way to get started. I'd call it a very bad way. If I was looking at a user who needed hand-holding, I'd send them to an estate somewhere. If they needed built in community, I'd send them an estate somewhere. If they needed a sense that a place had a good stable theme they could grow with, I'd send them to an estate somewhere. If they were a do-it-yourself tinkerer, I'd send them to mainland. If they wanted control, I'd send them to mainland. If they were an isolationist iconoclastic nutcase, I'd send them to mainland. - For all of these Linden Homes are bad. Even for the theme - as you can't grow with it, its locked and you can't even stylize the home. For all of them, the linden homes serve to make SL feel isolated and uncaring. Even for the isonlationist - such people rarely like feeling as if they were "drone number #275 in a Borg Collective / suburb" - even if as with many linden homes, there is no community. Its more of a place you send noobs to die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 In addtion to that: - I would never suggest a paid account anywhere for someone who has just started with the whole thing and has barely an idea what it all is about (which is part of the definition of a newbie, I think). They should spend nothing forced as long as they haven't setteled and can do things without help. Last but not least a newbie should spend their money first on their avatar...not on premium membership fees. - Premium membership is only worth its money if you plan to own bigger amounts of land or if you really want to be on mainland. Its also usefull if you have your own business. Both is nothing a newbie has or need. - You can get far better and much more land for the monthly fee on Estates, instead of becoming premium member for the Linden Home.

Pussycat Catnap Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 See I did go paid early on. But I'm an "edge case" and generally agree with Syo's stance there. I was likely... number 5 on my list: wanting control of my spot. I read a massive amount of confusing stuff before hitting the button to go premium, and then spent a month teleporting all over the grid before buying - which right there shows I made a fundamental error because I was a noob, despite researching. I wasted my first month of land tier... Most new users will be in the 1 through 3 on my list, and be better served renting on an estate. *** Oh also reading up thread a bit... picking Gor to highlight for newbies... is not the choice I would make. Gor is an extremist alt-cult the glorifies one of humanities most evil traits: slavery. Goreans embrace members who have lost touch with reality and chosen to become "lifers" and try to emulate the misogynistic fantasy in real life... when it should be getitng such people mental help or getting them the heck away from its community. The Gorean concept, brought to RL, is expressed by things like the man in the USA that kept 3 women kidnapped for so many years, or the couple just found in London that kept 3 women kidnapped for 30 years. To Gorean 'lifers', this is the 'natural order'... As it is the lifestyle glorified in the fiction. To the author of Gor... that fiction is meant to be an example of how we should be, and not 'dark horror fantasy'. There are plenty of other roleplays to pick in SL that are less misogynistic, or which at least more clearly understand that they are 'fantasy' and not an ideology.
