Sephina Frostbite Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 So I met this really nice person. We get along well. So much in fact I never noticed the changes she was making to her avi. When she had mentioned about getting a new skin I zoomed in to examine. I noticed it was the same skin as I. I thought nothing of it as many people do. Then I noticed she changed her shape.... and I noticed her clothing. Shes making herself to be exactly like me. While I'm flattered I'm taken back a bit. My first reaction was, well I was creeped out to be honest. Now I am flattered but reserved. That's not saying no one can ever look like me. That's just silly but maybe I'm mean when I think its odd that she would copy me. What would your reaction be if you were hanging out with someone and you noticed they made themselves your twin?

Snugs McMasters Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Your friend may be preparing to frame you for any number of illicit activities. Make sure you have an airtight alibi, Sephina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'd temporarily take on a display name that matches your friend's, run roughshod over SL, then leave her to explain it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be flattered, but it's more likely than not, that I wouldn't really care. Personally, I don't see much reason in caring. If a product is out there, and people can buy it, you can count on at least someone out there looking just like you, given how many folks there are in sl(probably more than one, actuallly). You might not ever run into them, but they are out there. It never occurred to me to be upset by it, or even think it's odd. Maybe I'm too much of an odd duck. How I look, isn't me, who I am, is me, and no one can recreate that....so it's all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephina Frostbite Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I really like this response. It's how I feel. I was just taken a bit back for a moment but in the end I'm flattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Perhaps you were being copybotted? I don't know how it works exactly but I think they have to be in proximity to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Years ago I had and ex bring in their RL GF and make her avi over to look almost like me. It wasn't exact because I created some things that make my avi look the way it did. It wasn't that she looked a lot like me that creeped me out so much as the implications of why the ex did this and if his GF knew what he was doing. But ignored it and not long after they both left SL. In your case, perhaps this person doesn't have the imagination or skill to create their own unique look or maybe she just wants to be your twin. If it bothers you, you should discuss it with her and offer to help her make an avatar that is uniquely her's, as she obviously admires your taste. There really isn't anything you can do though to stop it, unless they copybotted something you created. As pointed out, if you use items to make up you avi that you bought, there may be more of 'you' out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syo Emerald Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would take that as a warning sign of potentionally being friends with someone who has an unstable personality. While its true that none of the items that make your avatar are unique, it certainly hints to quite some effort to try to copy someone without directly asking where they got all the single pieces from. Its creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohjiro Watanabe Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 She is making herself into your doppelganger. I would be running down the road with sparks coming from my shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you that excited about the prospect of troilism with twins then, Ohjiro? ***I have presumed that you intend running towards the source of the potential action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
