bluelacroix Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi everyone,I'm not sure if this goes here or in employment. I am new (~4 weeks) to SL and have learned a ton, but still know so little. I think it would be extremely helpful to have someone as a personal advisor, providing counsel as needed, and to guide me in discovering new and interesting places. We will jointly negotiate your rate. You will be expected to answer all my beginner/intermediate type questions and provide your expert advise on subjects like building, land development, SL ettiquete, prims/sculpting/textures/editing, and places to go given my interests. I am not looking for friendship, only help in basic-intermediate SL culture/features/etc. I feel overwhelmed and have several in-game friends whose help I greatly appreciate but I feel I've become a burden to them and am seeking professional assistance.Please, serious responses only, and please contact me directly. Please don't offer if you haven't been a member in good standing of SL for a number of years.Best regards,Bleue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesium Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So... Why not someone who'll help you out for free? o.0 Since you're really put off by the idea of meeting new, helpful friends (*pouts*), why not try joining New Citizens Inc. (NCI)?

Amethyst Jetaime Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 She said she had friends to help but felt she became a burden to them. Reading her post it sounds like a lot of hours are going to be involved in helping her since she wants to learn about so many things and she wants someone available to her as much as possible. If she wants that much coaching its only fair she pay someone. Not sure why she posted in friends and then stated she wasn't interesting in making friends. Personally I'm puzzled why she put bodyguard in the post title and then described a teacher. They are two different things. Really it would be very difficult for a body guard to do anything that she can't do her self, i.e. block mute ban, without breaking TOS. They would run the risk of being AR'd, unless they were in a combat zone, and even then they'd have to follow the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgaine Christensen Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Interesting post. If it were me applying for the job, sounds like we would be talking hundreds or thousands of US dollars for me to put the kind of time it sounds like you would be demanding to answer your questions not to mention all the hard earned knowledge it has taken me years to gather. With the high demands you are making, sounds like a lot of patience would be required and for me I seroiusly doubt a friendship would take place. This is my free time as well...your ad sounds pretty one sided to me. Where is the fun in it for me? It has taken me YEARS to learn what I have learned through asking my own questions and experimenting. SL is not something you learn over night or even in a few months. If you don't wish to be a burden on your friends, if you are really interested in learning, have you tried reading up on the various wiki's? Have you even read any of the information on the building portion of the forums? Have you tried to google some of your questions? Have you watched any of Torley Lindens highly valuable video tutorials on youtube? Are many good blogs and resources out their if you just try GOOGLING your questions. Check out Builders Brewery's beginning building class which will teach you some of the basics of building. Seriously, you might want to rethink your phrasing in your post. Good luck, I hope you find someone to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think it will be pretty hard to find a person that is experianced and skilled in every possible topic of SL. Most people are experianced in maybe 1-3 things, but know nearly nothing besides that. For example: Lets say you meet someone who owns a t-shirt store. He can tell you everything about running a shop and how do make textures...but he has no idea about scripting. And a person who is the nearly the god of scripting might be clueless about mesh. And then there is someone with a wide range of knowledge about social life and has a talent for explaining basic things, that others just do without thinking too much about it. At the moment you are looking for: A person who knows EVERYTHING, who is patient and helpful and who has a lot of time to teach you very complex things. I doubt if such a person exists. How about looking for different teachers? One for every topic you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why she needs to make more friends, explore the world, and maybe do a little research about things she's curious about. OP, there are some things you're not going to learn overnight, even with someone showing you. Sometimes you need to experiment for yourself.

bluelacroix Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hello everyone! Amethyst Jetaime Alesium Paprika Savira Morgaine Christensen Syo Emerald Ima Rang Alicia Sautereau oberon Zuta Thank you all for replying! Wowsa! Yep, I definetly shoulda put this in employment. The "bodygaurd" thing was my hook, and it sure worked, but maybe not quite as I intended. I figured once you read it what I was looking for would be pretty clear; sorry if I confused anyone. Thank you for the mostly helpful advise, and the humour, that is always fun reading! :matte-motes-little-laugh: I will say I have spent many hours doing research, and I certainly don't expect to be an SL expert overnight. Actually at this stage I'll bet my questions are really basic, and it would be easy for most anyone to answer, and pick up a few L$. As to my inworld friends, yeah, I think I'd be annoyed if I was constantly pestered with noob questions, so I thought I'd see if I could find another resource, in addition to them, the FAQs, posting here, youtube, and googling, all of which I do all the time. Your right Syo Emerald, I figured the ppl here with several years would know quite a bit but yes, there are some things I'm not interested, so I will never know, and the same I'm sure applies to everyone. I will be more specific next time. Ima Rang - hahaha, I love your response. How much is 6000L$? I think you are most definitely out of my price range, but thank you for making me smile. :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: Alesium, yes, I do not expect to learn anything major quickly, i know it is going to be a long journey. And yes, I am a member of NCI, that is a great resource, which I only just discovered a few days back, and it is fantabulous! Alicia Sautereau, although your rate is a little less than Ima's, you're both just a little on the pricey side for my budget. Morgaine Christensen, yes, sigh, I am re-thinking the wording in my post. And thank you for the building tips - i will def add those resources to my list. And i definitely agree with your sig, i have to do things to learn; i'm not good with theory. Thank you all, and please don't forget to... Have a grey8 SL Day! :matte-motes-smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czari Zenovka Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I had one of those when I began SL (well 6 months later) but he was called my partner. :matte-motes-big-grin: We actually began SL about the same time but he caught on to the more technical aspects of SL more quickly and helped me understand confusing concepts like the difference between mainland and Estates and why some Estates "sold" land that was really renting. He was a great bodyguard as we were pretty much joined at the hip. We did a lot of exploring SL together and learned the more social aspects of SL as a team. His ummmmm "salary" was also enjoyable. :matte-motes-bashful-cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake1 Nightfire Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You still have a bodyguard. I work from the shadows. /me lunges from a shadowy corner, looping a silken cord about the assassins throat. He drags the body back into the shadows, where if one listens carefully, you can hear the sickening crunch of a broken trachea and spine. Chuckling softly he whispers "That's six so far today."

Drake1 Nightfire Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 So... how much are you willing to pay? $6000L is $24 USD an hour. Not a high price for what you are seking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
