God prim

[Luc Starsider]

I saw an object today called a "God Prim" and has Philip Linden as creator. I searched the forums and the wiki, but could not find any information about it.

Does anybody know what a God prim is? And what it's purpose is?

Did it emit an eerie glow and have a subsonic hum?  Did you genuflect properly and back away?

[Luc Starsider]

lol. Yes it had a weird pink glow. Don't know about the hum, though. I'm no good at detecting subsonic sounds. I DID genuflect and back slowly away

When your name is Philip Linden you *can* create a 'god' prim.  

[Luc Starsider]

True, but it still leave me none the wiser as to what the prim *is* and what it *does*.

I think a while back some exploit allowed faking of creators. But, he might have also made a full perm item. So, someone copies the full perm thingy and then makes this and has a laugh?

But then again, does it have a script in it?

I have seen an item deep in an ocean that was a treasure box. It had a script in it, made by a linden or a mole. So, to be honest it might be a easter egg of some kind! This could also be some kind of thing like that.

I also saw a giant octopus in a cavern thingy, neer a place with a name and design alluding to another religion...I think the octopus is also part of a create story from some group. So, there was a whole bunch of oddities. Lindens and moles to build some fun or odd items, so it might be part of a joke or simply one of the oldest prims. But, if it was just the first then it could be just called "Adam" and maybe another that was copied from it would be "Eve" or some other creation story characters?

/me waits for the "Johnny Prim Seed" Prim to start throwing out little seed prims all over the mainland

[Luc Starsider]

Thanks Poenald. I was not aware of the faking creator issue. The prim has a script in it, and I will check it out.

God Prim = Prim created by God

All hail Philip!! lol

[Luc Starsider]

Yes, yes, but what does it *do*? What's it's purpose? Do I want to own it? Why do I want to own it? Does it give me the ability to fly, or see through w... Oh, wait. I can already...

In one of the advanced menus of the old viewer was God Mode.

Just curious, did the God prim look like a man or a woman? 

[Luc Starsider]

The prim is a sphere. A big, glowing, pink sphere. I'm just curious what the story of it is. I figure there must be a story behind it - unless it is a fake as Poenald mentioned?

Pink, eh? So it's a little girl Godess prim?

[Luc Starsider]

Yus! Pink. Barbie would be envious. I wonder why Philip made it pink...

The faking creator issue was a while back. I think it might be gone. But the fact you can use a object that has full perms is an issue to consider...but, if the object was faked (I think even date was fakeable, which I found sadening because I could not use that as proof to someone who had a copybotted version of a car I know was never on mods at all) then it might still be around. The only way would be to maybe ask Phillip! But, he might get a lot of notecards and so...who knows.

[Luc Starsider]

I guess if the prim is old - I haven't looked - it could still be fake. The perms on it is mo copy/no mod/transfer (original only). Perhaps I should ask Philip, but don't expect an answer. I' curious of what the story behind it is if it is not a fake...

You can texture with a pic of yourself and a message saying "My Favorite Resident" & put it on your wall. So you can impress your friends when you say, look God loves me!!

[Luc Starsider]

lol. Good idea, but, alas, the prim is about 10x10x10, and no modify. Perhaps I should add a picture of it later today...

Behold the God Prim!

Hmmmmphf! It's not all that impressive. Yeah, it's pink and it glows, but can it do miracles? Even a parlor trick? If I'm going to start praying to it, I at least want to see a smiley face.

[Luc Starsider]

I KNOW!!! That's what I thought when I found it - what does it do? Nothing apparently. Then I wonder, why was it made? What is the story behind it? Why did Philip Linden, if he in fact made it, create a big, glowing, pink sphere that can only be passed on. Nothing else. It has no god powers of it's own, and give the owner no god - or godlike - powers. Hmmmmm......

Hmmm...it would appear to be watching you...Be scared, be very scared!!!!

[Luc Starsider]

Uh-oh. I hope not, but I shall find a long stick and poke it in the eye so it can't be watching me. (If I can find the actual eye )

[Peewee Musytari]

God prim has an "all seeing" eye....You can run, but you cannot hide LOL

[Luc Starsider]

Guess I'm screwed then?

No biggie, though, I'm the owner, so it must be me watching myself.

How on earth did you find this old thread???

 

I have still not found out why the prim was made - What the idea of it was, and if it had any purpose. Still looking for an answer, though.

One day, perhaps...
