[Hi looking for friends]

Hi floofyy!    I'm Runa and I'm also in EU SLT+8.  Most of my time is spent with my little friend.  We go exploring together, shopping, sometimes watch movies, make new outfits for avatars and go to storytime.  I belong to a RP sim which I like to keep up with too.  We're both pretty relaxed and you'd be very welcome to hang out with us if you wanted to.  Feel free to IM me inworld.

I made up a new look for flying with my Sky Pirate friends.  I'm going for cute but badass!

[Does anyone do custom shape styling?]

Hi Melancholy!  I'm not a professional shape maker but I'd be willing to give you some help if I can.  All I'd need is a couple of pictures and I'll give it a go!  If you're interested give me a shout inworld.

Yesterday i met a girl, we talked. Did not knew she took a pic until later she sent me this one. I quite like it.

Here is the original on her Flickr.

That is one fine moustache, sir!  Hercule Poirot would be jealous!

Actually . . . *cough* . . . I'm looking for a volunteer, either man or woman, who would be willing to model for one of these experimental grungy portraits for me. I could just use an alt, but it's more interesting using another person!

Warning: I really am experimenting here. It might not be any good! But it will be somewhat along the lines of portrait above.

I am actually an alt. My first account was born a few months before I was.

A confirmed alt sighting!  👽🧐

I created my alt Laskya in 2013 because I wanted to return after a 2 year hiatus, but with a bit of a fresh start. Nothing nefarious, and I didn't care that much if I got outed . . . which was a good thing, because I posted maybe 20 posts here before I was detected. And yeah, it was my writing style, which I didn't bother trying to conceal, that betrayed me.

That said, I am utterly clueless about detecting alts. Really and truly, I'm awful at it. People here will sometimes allude darkly to such and such an alt, and I'll have no idea what they're talking about.

Your post has made me realise that I'm also an alt.  This isn't my first SL account, that was made years ago, so technically makes me an alt... I think...

I'm bad at guessing who's an alt myself but when I made this account my best friend spotted me instantly.  Unless someone declares "I'm so-and-so's alt!" I wouldn't have a clue.

One thing I'm curious about...has anyone ever been on an alt, and then run into somebody they knew on their main...but that person was acting out of character or showing another side of themselves? 😲

What a great question!  I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the replies you got.

I have 1 alt that I use for script testing. I don't feel at home in my alt. I have a difficult enough time with that.

I assume people really enjoy their alts. I love that. It shouldn't be considered bad in my opinion.

I really relate to this.  Not feeling at home in an alt.  My avatar is so much an extension, a representation of the real me that trying to be an alt feels awkward for me.

My main concern is how can anyone manage more than one inventory!? 💀

Woof!

You make a very good point, Tasha!

I don't think there's anything wrong with having one or more alts.  They seem to get a bad name because they're often used for avoiding people on friends lists or stalking an ex-partner.  Bad, very bad!

Some alts have less troublesome purposes like being a model for a main's fashion brand or holding cash for a main's sim.  An alt might even exist because the user wants to have a separate account for a different gender or species.  Another common reason to have an alt is for roleplay.

So... no, I don't think there's anything wrong with alts.  They have a lot of great uses!  Just ignore the folks that have a problem with alts.  It's their problem!

Thank you both for replying!    I don't know if I'm just overlooking something obvious (it is quite possible!) but I'm only able to see the button "Insert image from URL".

Excuse my newb-ness but how can I insert an image to show off my avatar?  🤔

"Level 1 Acquaintance" already kind of exists, when you give someone new your own Calling Card. I prefer to do this instead of accepting "Friendship", as a list of "Friends" who you once spoke to for a couple of seconds or minutes is unappealing and embarrassing when the so-called "Friend" never sees or contacts you again.

I've never thought to use my Calling Card in this way!  I don't like to add people as friends until I've bumped into them a few times but now I'll remember to drop them my Calling Card so I don't just disappear into the ether.
