Being a superannuated SL resident, I feel it only appropriate that I respond to this almost-as-mouldy-as-me thread.

Yeah, not a good idea. We don't need more elitism, or more excuses to exclude other people than we already have. And the fact is that a great many non-premium residents enrich our experience of SL in all sorts of ways, even aside from their contributions to the SL economy in other ways.

Although, to be honest, I'm surprised that LL hasn't done more to distinguish premium residents from "free" ones, as it would seem to make sense, from a purely financial perspective, to make premium accounts more "attractive," even if only because it gives one bragging rights (of a sort).

I gave up my bragging rights the day I succumbed to that $1,000L and 50% off bribe.

We'd have half-a-badge for discount residents. And for really short ones.

Half a ring, for obvious reasons.

Which of course is a problem, because it won't stay on your finger.

That, as with so many things in life, depends on how you slice it.

But if you bring two halves together and join them, there is a flash of lightning, a great shaking of the earth, the veil of the temple is rent is twain, and you are instantly re-rezzed as Torley.

 

So it's all worthwhile, really.

Well, not in the technical "To love, honour, and obey" sense, no.

That's probably a good thing, as my partner might object to suddenly finding himself hitched to a watermelon-complexioned blonde with a propensity for giggling.

When I got engaged, Dad advised my ex-hubby to pre-emptively strike "obey" from the vows and to temper his expectations for honour. He also paid my ex a sum of money to be returned in the event I was returned. A decade later, he wished he'd cut a bigger check.

I'd make sure I was stamped "No Deposit. No return." 

No point in asking for trouble.

LOL.You Martians have you brains in your wallets. We Earthmen have much more decorum than that. Our brains are located somewhere else but, like you, it's not in our heads.

I'll leave it to this symbolic spanking in the forum. But for this time only. :matte-motes-evil-invert: :smileyhappy:

[Perrie Juran]

    Well, I designed us a badge.
