Alwin Alcott Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 i don't know what game it is part of, but your avatar has no soul, it's just a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellowdy6 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 yes, you are right... avatar has no soul but i would be sure it is not like some script wich can control remotely your avi without possibility to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Did you allow anything unusual to do things with your avatar or do you got RLV activated? No? No need to worry then. Tell that jerk to f*** off with his jokes and never return to that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Psaltery Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) He has no power over you except what you allow. As for Bloodlines, it has no effect on you unless you join the game.

Ceka Cianci Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Some vamps have told me I was a ghoul and that someone had bitten me in the past.. I said, I hope I'm so ghouly looking that it makes those vamps puke.. hehehe The ones in the game are the only ones that can tell.. There is nothing for you to worry about.. It's just players getting cheap points for their games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hi, @Mellowdy6! There's good news, and there's bad news. The good news is, like everyone else is telling you, avatars don't have "souls" and anyone or anything that tells you it's "stolen your soul" can be safely ignored. It's all just roleplay, and if you don't choose to play along, nothing says you have to. The bad news is, there actually is a device called "soul stealer". If you accept its request to animate your avatar, it takes the animation permission permanently. Then its owner can force your avatar to do any animation they choose, whenever both of you are in the same region. This prank can be put into an object you sit on, and sitting on it (or getting on a pose ball in a shower) is the same as granting permission. Your "friend" now can animate your avatar. However, he can only do this if both of you are in the same region. So just un-friend and block him and stay away. If you use the Firestorm viewer, you can also navigate to Avatar > Avatar Health > Animation > Stop Animations and Revoke Permissions to get an unwanted animation to stop. A clever opponent can get it to start up again, but not all opponents are that clever. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would listen to a stranger and take a shower in their bathroom for no reason? She navigated herself right into the situation by sheer....you catch my drift. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would listen to a stranger and take a shower in their bathroom for no reason? She navigated herself right into the situation by sheer....you catch my drift. I don't believe for a minute it was said "tongue in cheek" -- the reason is because I've seen much condemnation of victims by this poster AND there is a strong tendency for quite a few to blame new posters for their problem when they come to the forum and share it. Sometimes it may be that the poster with the problem does indeed need to take responsibility and is to blame for it, so of course I don't have an issue with others pointing this out, but many times they are innocent or at the very least we don't really know if they are responsible for the problem. She consented to taking a shower -- she did not consent to someone taking control of her for God's sake. And she was playing with this person, she said (sex game, roleplay....we don't know). But we do know this was not a random stranger. If I was involved in roleplay on a sim and somebody asked me to check out the shower there's a good chance I'd do so. I'd have no notion that some kind of control would then be foisted onto me. If a random person on any sim told me to take a shower of course I wouldn't -- but this was no random person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was someone she had only met that day, so clearly he was/is a stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did she say she met this person that day? All I see is: "Today, playing with a guy in a sim he told me to take a shower in his room". This means she is engaging in the roleplay that very day...it does not mean she just met him that very day. However, what if she did just meet him that very day? Many happen upon roleplay sims and begin engaging immediately, thinking it's an honest game and without any notion of someone permanently taking control of their avatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a lack of common sense but the human need to socialize and humans being jerks to one another, to put it mildly. "Pranks" like this are just one of the myriad of reasons why I usually avoid people. It's not fun or funny to the victim. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 19 minutes ago, Luna Bliss said: But we do know this was not a random stranger. No we don't. But even if it were, it's best to discuss some aspects of the RP beforehand with anyone. With that said, before engaging in any RP in SL, it's always wise to learn about the different options and restrictions in regards to your avatar. Also, having a quick read through their profile, they might want to add a few more Limits. Beware, NSFW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
