    Text or Voice?

    ’nuff said, generally. One other thing I don’t like of many voicers is that they tend to be exclusivists, without even realizing (or admitting) it—so they’re not compelled to try and moderate themselves in that sense: once they find someone else to voice with, they will mostly ignore anyone who texts, no matter if it’s in the same conversation. Even if voicing technically leaves you freer to look at the screen and see what’s going on, they still tend to develop a kind of ‘tunnel vision’ and ignore anyone who won’t voice.

    Alas, some go as far as resenting it if most or all people in a voice-enabled area choose to text anyway, for their own individual and perfectly valid reasons. If you point out that “voice is an option, not an obligation”, they’ll say, ‘sure, sure, I understand that‘. But they don’t, not really—they will keep questioning it, pressuring others to shift to voice, grumbling about it. Not actually tolerating it, despite assurances to the contrary.

    I have some friends I constantly text to while they voice to me, and I have no more problem with their voicing than they do with my texting. All it takes is accepting others’ preferences, hard as that seems to be for some.

    Excellent points. I've experienced the same. It's so nice that as a community we are able to find what we all know but can't express as beautifully.

    Cheap at twice the price. You heard the lady, @Marut72. Come on.

    You're worth it Amina Sopwith. Unfortunately my whole fortune is tied up in Airmiles and Scene Points but give me a few weeks and I'll get back to you.

    Granted. Though you are forced by Linden Lab to enter a contract of said Sugar Daddy Status and are then compelled to also gift Amina a full year of Premium Membership, including an upgrade to Premium Plus, monthly allowance for name-changing, obligation to fund the Mega-Pack of every new item from Amina's top ten favorite creators and a lean is placed on all real life assets to ensure your compliance.

    I wish I had a sugar-daddy without having to be a sugar-baby because eew.

    As for Ms. Alyona -

    Your wish is Granted. You now have a sugar-daddy. He is literally made up of sugar. Stands 6 inches tall and is beginning to melt a little. The Chocolate Easter bunny with no ears is upset by his presence. Your other wish is granted as well. You are not a sugar-baby, but a Splenda-Baby, less calories, but full eew factor, as you call it.

     

    I wish someone would release the sequel to PONG, maybe make an action thriller.

    This has been an interesting thread to read and follow. I share the similar thoughts like many of you. 

    Personally I prefer to text. I choose to text over voice because the ambient noise and varying levels of microphone volume bug me. Not only that, but I like to put on some records while I explore, and I would have to give that up. As mentioned in the thread, I also like to keep the fantasy aspect of SL. Voice changes what I perceive on the screen. It's like reading a novel. The conversation takes place in my mind and I really love that. This is why I love reading and writing.

    However, I do agree, that if you've made a connection with someone, if you fostered a genuine friendship, sometimes it's worth the risk to play with the fantasy a little. It is worth using voice.

    It is so wonderful to hear that so many of you share the same ideas that swirl around my own head. I only wish I could have recorded this instead of typing it.

    Granted, but it's affordable because it's right next door to a raw sewage plant that regularly hosts conventions for smokers and colicky babies.

    I wish all those "I want a sugar daddy/findom sub/cuckold husband/oh whatever, just throw money at me for whatever reason works for you" threads would either stop, or that they wouldn't irrationally annoy me so much. 

    Granted.

    Throw you said? All of those hundreds and hundreds of horny people pelt you with their dimes, pickles, and quarters. They are nice though. They keep the pennies for their own dirty thoughts.

    I wish I was Amina's sugar daddy.  :)
