  1. OMG. The "Top Members" leader board is like a Rogues Gallery. Or a wall of FBI "Most Wanted" posters. (Anyone else find it a little suspicious that BOTH Rhonda and Clover are in the top 8? COLLUSION!!!!)
  2. Like a bad Penny? Actually, I've never known a bad Penny; they all seem to be constitutionally incapable of being anything but sweet and genuine. Now, a bad Scylla? That's a whole other story.
  3. Hey. I can be as irrelevant as anyone!! In fact, now that I've "won the day" with the LARGEST ONE-DAY REPUTATION JUMP THIS YEAR AND MAYBE IN ALL OF HISTORY (yes, I wasted a good 10 minutes this morning confirming that), I may take on this "irrelevancy" challenge, and demonstrate that I can ALSO be the most irrelevant person here!
  4. Ceka, you've known me long enough to realize that I don't beat around the (George W.) Bush. I made my plans for forum conquest abundantly clear. The only surprise, really, is that I succeeded as well as I did, abetted by a forumite crowd that is clearly yearning for Strong Leadership -- and a sort of slightly punky/street fashion aesthetic (but tastefully done).
  5. Ok, I actually laughed out loud at this. I'm so sorry it wasn't at least a good sex animation!
  6. Well, by my calculations, another 37 or 38 days like today should do it! So, um . . . probably not? Then again, much may ultimately depend on exactly how anxious Derekmate is to have prim babies . . . ?
  7. Awwww! Well, aren't you just the biggest sweetheart ever, Ivanova! Thank you, and hugs! Oh, I've never entirely left this place, and I'll be around. I'm actually in-world (a bit) for the first time in 4 years or so, so that's a thing.
  8. Oh goo . . . OH DARN! That's very very disappointing. I've always wanted to have virtual morning sickness. (Not to mention the joy of a new skin with stretch marks!) Oh well, maybe next time.
  9. Yes, yes, yes. That's all very well and interesting. But what about MEEEEEEEEEEEEE . . . ????? People, I think we're losing our focus here! Let's get our minds and our busy mouse buttons back on the IMPORTANT things, please!
  10. Oh yes, absolutely you're right. Sorry! Unfortunately, history is replete with examples of people realizing that too late. Fortunately, the stakes are probably a little lower in SL.
  11. Depends on what you want to do. Producing or just possessing an authoritative and trustworthy persona can make one influential or persuasive. And that can be used for good, or ill. Or maybe you really just don't care. That's obviously just fine too. I'm probably every bit as susceptible (or more) to the allure of "popularity" as anyone. But I do like to sense the approval of those I respect, in part because it is a way of measuring my own conduct by their high standards.
  12. I think it represents a pretty obvious example of the kind of use of metrics we see everywhere now. It's social engineering through a doomed attempt to quantify the ineffable.
