    I don't think there are any.

    There are various police departments in SL. I've seen someone in a police car driving Route 8 in Satori and dealing with accidents.

    At one time, you could dial 911 on any Gentek Telecom phone in SL and be connected to a dispatch center, which would connect you with the appropriate roleplay emergency center (police, fire, SL coast guard) and help move the roleplay along. Sadly, that service is no longer available.

    The lights are out, and no one is there to answer.

     

    That actually sounds really fun. I wish this was still a thing. 

    (Firestorm) Frequent Disconnects with New Internet Modem

    in Technical

    Posted · Edited by Echopraxia

    Hello! Please let me know if this needs to be moved to another forum.

     I got a new internet modem today (my old one stopped working) and ever since then, I've been having frequent disconnects. Basically every few minutes and it doesn't matter what I'm doing or where I'm at. This never happened until I got the new modem but I don't understand what the issue could be. Everything's still the same (speeds, etc.) and I'm not seeing any ping issues or anything like that. I've tried clearing the cache as well as lowering the bandwidth but neither of those helped. I'll paste my specs below. I also saved the log files after the last crash but don't know how to decipher those. I can post that as well if anyone wants to look over it for me. 

    *Editing to clarify: By disconnects, I mean disconnects from Firestorm, not the internet itself.

    How do you feel if strangers come into your SL home unexpectedly?

    A guy I know keeps mounted heads of his girlfriends on his wall.  These are the actual avatars, who have agreed to remain on line, seated on this special sort of poser that hides their body but sticks their head through the wall.  They're a sort of specialized "slave cage", I guess.

    That sounds awesome, actually. And hilarious. Now I've gotta find a volunteer to let me mount their head to my wall.

    What We Do in the Shadows is back for season 2 and it's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. Definitely 5 stars. It airs on TV on FX but is on Hulu as well.

    It's based off of a movie which is equally as great and two of the actors from the movie are producers for the TV show.

    Considering that there is such diversity of feelings about this issue, from people like me who want people to enjoy their houses, to people who are offended if anyone ever wanders in, perhaps we, as a community, need to define some norms (etiquette?) for making the homeowner's wishes known to visitors. 

    I agree, I also try to keep some kind of welcome sign up for this reason. And for the people who don't want visitors, all they can really do is put up a security orb, as annoying as that is, or god forbid, ban lines. Could also not be on ground level... it's not foolproof but I have a lot less random visitors when I'm in a skybox as opposed to being down there where it's easier for people to get to you.

    it's not that difficult... stay out unless invited.

    That's true. But if everyone followed that, we wouldn't need to be having this discussion right now.

    I actually really enjoy when this happens. One of the things that drew me in the most to SL was the spontaneity of it all. A lot of that seems to have gone away in the last few years. The only time it really bothers me is if they start being annoying. For example, I was on my sky platform the other day and some random person flew up to it and immediately started trying to push me off of it. That's not cool. So far he's the only person who's ended up on my ban list. I do think some people tend to get way too bent out of shape over it when it's a pretty easy fix, but to each their own.

    I think it is nice that you are thinking of others, but you shouldn't feel guilty just because you are not using it a whole lot right at this time.  If you are premium you are entitled to a camper, TH or houseboat if you want one.    No where does it state you have to use it 24/7.  Heck you don't even have to use it at all.

    That's true. I'd be just as content anywhere else though, especially since I'm hardly ever home anyway. It's sat mostly empty since I got it and I just think someone could do something really nice with it.

    I'm still in the first traditional I snagged in Ashton Village. It took me so long to get it that I never wanted to risk giving it up. It's an okay spot but I'm really just too lazy to pick everything up/put everything back down again if I wanted to get back in the game. It also borders Millbank and I'm still waiting to see what they end up doing with it.

    ...But where is it you REALLY want to live?

    My answer is pretty similar to Morena Tully’s. I don’t necessarily have a preference appearance-wise, although I can’t disagree that some of the beachy locations are really beautiful. It’s definitely more about the community for me. I was so excited about Bellisseria because of the potential for the community aspect that SL seemed to be lacking. I’ve mostly had mainland or rentals before but have never been one to isolate myself or put up ban lines. That would ruin all the fun and spontaneity of SL for me. I really just want an active neighborhood with cool neighbors or at least something going on sometimes.

    I have a traditional in Ashton Village right now, right on the border of Millbank. The area itself isn’t spectacular, although there is a little canal behind the house but I think it could have been done better (don’t kill me for being negative, please). I’m holding onto it in hopes that they’ll do something cool with Millbank that will make it interesting to live that close. We’ll see.

    This is where I now live and why - after all those locations. This is pretty stunning area and I feel that with less LI spent on landscaping I don't miss the extra allowance! I have not decorated at all yet but I don't feel the need to do much at all to the exterior. This was an abandon (as most of my recent campers I got locked out of the release after one go because I had been scooping abandoned boats!) Abandons rule. Campers do too. I take it all back about not being interested in one because of lower allowance!

    And now we're neighbors. :)

    Well, you're technically my alt's neighbor, but still...

    I am having second thoughts about the campers too. I have taken some and tossed them back, because if The Location with large T and L comes up, I might abandon the HB. I don't have time for all three options.

    The place @Echopraxiaposted is really a gem. People abandon places because ? reason, and it's another persons dream.

    I met the people who abandoned the plot when I came to check it out. They said it was too small for them. Definitely my gain there.

    I wasn't using auto-refresh, but even after others were posting that they got a camper, I didn't see them.......... until I checked the darn dropdown. Bellisseria did not automatically pop to the front for me either, though it did later last night when I logged back in.

    There were so many times when I was refreshing that Bellisseria was in the dropdown menu but not at the top. I just got in the habit of checking it every time I refreshed.
