Laetizia Coronet Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 If Storm succeeds in discussing P. Dipstick with you enough, he will eventually reach increased levels of fame. But Storm is missing a point here. Throughout history we have seen lots of people who have become famous for all the wrong reasons. Criminals, con men, mobsters, war criminals, terrorists, dictators. Nobody in their right mind would call these people celebrities though. Was Augusto Pinochet a celebrity? Jeffrey Dahmer? John Gotti? Carlos 'The Jackal'? Bernard Madoff? I think not. Being known by lots of people simply isn't enough to become a celebrity.

I guess it works both ways. Every time I seem to post about Daniels on SLF he takes to the feeds to insult me or to reference some embellished fictional victories he has had over me on the forums of old, despite the fact that we have barely ever interacted in the past. So I guess if I am helping him become famous by talking about him, then he is doing the same for me as he does not seem to be able to resist the urge to mention me on the feeds as of late. Of course, it's all completely irrelevant, aside from a few interested parties, the majority of readers could not care less.
Laetizia Coronet Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Ah yes, the ficticious victory bit... been there, seen that. If anything he's interesting from a psychological point of view. Who knows, he may become famous when they name Daniels Syndrome after him ;-)
Porky Gorky Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Edit - I have changed my mind about this post. Lines must be drawn in the games of verbal tennis that take place across SL's social media and this post crossed a line. So apologies to Pep for that.
Laetizia Coronet Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah, I wound up drawing the exact same conclusion not long ago. But I thought it would be funnier to name it Daniels Syndrome.

PPS.: Annoyying "Land sale agents" are muted anyway. am sure all them greedy annoying land sale agents are tremble before your squirrely wrath. specially the Chung one

If it isn't a syndrome then it must be celebrity.

Are there people in-world that have a certain skill, hobbie, store, etc. which makes them famous? The only people that come off the top of my head for example are Asri Falcone, Ansch Chung, and I forgot his name, but he was a huge driving force in the sex industry in SL. Also, i'm taking about up-to-date avatars. Not people who were famous in 2007 for example. Thank You There are many incredibly talented residents in Second Life who share what they do freely. It would depend on what interests you. I don't know if they would consider themselves celebrities, but there are many well known live performers, many who have regular gigs.
Laetizia Coronet Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Dunno... I do not consider myself a follower of anyone.
Maryanne Solo Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 SL Celebrity status is gained by positive and ongoing contribution to the community as a whole, not merely depositing ones self in every possible place you have not been banned. Torley is the epitome of such an SL celebrity. Opinions viewed by a tiny minority do not grant one celebrity status. chirp chirp Neither does being booted from forum to forum, platform to platform. It's like rap music. Tomes of words delivered with machine gun rapidity, ad infinitum, attempted en masse are no guarantee that you actually have anything of true value to say. Wut? o.0 :smileyvery-happy: edit
Jo Yardley Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Yes SL has some celebreties but not on a RL scale. For isntance everyone who is interested in the vintage scene in SL knows Sonatta Morales who makes stunning vintage clothes. Lots of people who have been following the mesh videos know who Flufee is. If you are into machinima, you probably know Pooky Amsterdam. If you care about SL fashion you probably know Strawberry Singh. Etc, etc. So these people may not be famous gridwide, you may not have heard of any of them, but they are very well known to a large part of SL, even if it is just in their own little field of expertise.

Drake1 Nightfire Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 lets not leave out Carole Franizzi or Daria Afterthought.. both are missed, IMHO. They brought a spark of tongue in cheek humor to these threads.

You cornered the market for hotdogs in the run up to the Big Announcement, only to see the demand vanish at the critical moment. The vagaries of the Market strike again.
