Lindal Kidd Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I was pleased to see the announcement from @Ebbe Linden, Second Life's CEO. https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/3867-a-message-from-our-ceo-coronavirus-and-second-life-operations/ But...but...that picture! That's not a CEO. That's a toned down Fonzie! I would expect the CEO of the mighty Linden Lab to look like... Or... Or even... So...this thread is an invitation to the Residents of Second Life to help Ebbe with a Makeover! Edited March 18, 2020 by Lindal Kidd 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skell Dagger Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think Ebbe's avatar looks fantastic. No change needed. He doesn't need to look old or distinguished or powerful. It's His World, His Imagination, just as much as it's Ours. 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I like his look - definitely more so that those other CEO examples you posted. Besides, this is Second Life where his avatar most definitely should not look like a typical CEO. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I dunno... that Ebbe avatar looks like he hired Skell and said "make me look like Elon Musk". It looks kinda somewhere between them. Which works for Silicon Valley. The jacket might be a bit too formal though. Having a shirt on might still be too formal. And for some of the blokes I've seen on the streets of San Francisco... having pants on might still be too formal... 😮 So I think this is a pretty safe look. 😉 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he doesn't look like a Bond villain like Bezos, who is also an actual villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaerolleClaudel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 And of course, he really should be a she. Not sure they could find a woman insane enough to head LL though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no, I like him just the way he is. He's right, too. We need to be kind to those joining and returning to SL. For people who are isolated in RL, SL might be the only human contact they can get. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauve Aeon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Since he sometimes appears in his meat puppet in videos and sometimes in his avatar, I think the difference is really interesting and cool. I really admire people who can make good facsimiles of their meat puppet in second life, That’s a whole other skill level…but let’s face it, some days some of us just want to be a Second life Glamour Puss even if our real life sartorial offering is er...a messy bun and Totoro pajamas? Hot Topic, you’re welcome. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Seale Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The only person I know called 'Ebbe' is my neighbour here in Sweden...and she's a girl. It confuses me! ...and, If you think I base Dano on how I look in RL, there's a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you Lindal! 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not taking you up on the bridge offer, laddie...I never said Ebbe should, or needs to, look like his RL self. I rather like Skell's latest offerings. Mmmm, yeah. I'd sit in in a board meeting with them! And Caerolle, I've met Elon Musk in RL. Definitely dateable, even without all those thousand dollar bills that keep falling out of his pockets. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolya Ugajin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Let's see, so far on this page we have what looks like a noob version of a Star Fleet cadet, the Monopoly man, the guy from that one meme, Ben Kingsley's little brother, three hipsters who spend way too much time trimming their silly beards and would have been beaten up daily in my high school, the abominable Rosedale avatar (which, actually looks a lot like the very first Tolya in body and hair, but wearing a lame t-shirt instead of my fashionable suits), and a chick putting on makeup. Sorry, none of them look like a real CEO (although, granted, at least none of them look as stupid as Duckerberg, who looks like Data's long lost cousin). Here, try some REAL bada$$ CEO's (OK one is a general), and make avatars of them: /me laughs diabolically as the peasants break out the pitchforks and light their silly torches, and slams the castle portcullis down on them, going back to his wine and stogie, like real CEOs did back in the day.
