    build a home in the sky

    Rez a prim... stretch it into a platform and rez another prim but leave it in the form of a box, then link the platform to the box.  Sit on the box, then use the edit window to move that conjoined object into the sky (using the z axis).  Once your platform is situated to your satisfaction, stand up... then, simply build your home on that platform to your lovely, little, heart's content.

    A Left-Handed Look at Sansar

    Unless ....

    Sansar uses 3D Virtual Reality input to animate and manipulate a virtual representation of your RL self. So you become the Avatar, placed into a virtual presentation of the Real World, interacting with other RL people in the same RL environment.

    Second Life but with RL people actors instead of make-believe avatar actors.

    Gahhhhhh!! (my head just exploded)

    I thought that was what High Fidelity was trying to accomplish... not Sansar.

    It seems to me that LL is, and has always been, trying to shoot for "mainstream" acceptance adoption.  That will never happen no matter how wonderful what they have to offer ends up being.  SL is a niche... virtual worlds are a niche.  The "mainstream" are more concerned with their real lifes, as they should be.  What they really want is to connect with RL people who can add something to thier RL lives.

    Those of us wishing to project ourselves as make-believe people (aka, avatars) are and will always be in the minority (niche... if you will).  Only in someone's psychotic, dystopian fantasy would a majority of so-called normal people adopt the sort of alternate personas which most of us SL users cherish about ourselves.  We are not, nor will we ever be mainstream... and not just cause we don't wanna be.

    Unfortunately, LL has never understood this simple fact of human nature.  It matters not how great their new virtual world will be.  They'll still be catering to a small demographic... a demographic over which they currently dominate.

    Sansar will never be adopted by the masses.  I simply fail to see why LL doesn't understand that their current SL user base isn't their best customer for the next generation platform.

    You should try reading Moby Dick.

    I did, but it was far too long ago for me to remember anything about it other than the fact that I read it.  One of my all time favorite books was one of the most difficult for me to read... you might say it was the best of times and yet the worst of times.

    Oh no.. Was I supposed to conjugate that ancient Latin verb or use the subjunctive form?

    I like to get real down and dirty, elbow deep into some colloquialisms. Yeah baby google that and see if you wanna join me on that.

    OmG please dont even attempt to go gramar nazi on me. Unless you can do a complex verb synopsis in any of the dead languages or are teaching English writing on a Uni level. Maybe you should learn to read typoneese being that you live in a virtual world and all. Cause I'm not trying to spell check nuffin unless it to wim me anodder 59k in scholarship moneh. Bet you hated reading Twain in 8th grade? Do you get me? I spend my whole life on words. Will not be bothered to try at all on this forum. It was 3am jezzus lady. I been a lookylou on this forum for months and seen u always bein rude and snarky! Here i post once in my f*ing sl life and bam like flie to **bleep** your on my ass. i promise u , i will never respond to u again! Serioulsy i see u every where being sharp tougne and dual witted.

    Oh u wont be able togoogle thatlatin slam i ,ade for u, but let me help it says I am not interested in your stupid opinions! Said in the same languagePontius Pilate said toJezus.

    Firstly, that isn't typonese. That is ghetto trash. Typing phonetically is stupid. You have to purposely misspell the words.

    A book is different than a forum. Here we are discussing things with others rather than spinning a tale and having the characters speak in various dialects.

    Oh and the Latin phrase you were looking for...
    De ista tua stulta non sum sententiae, is a bit closer.

    When I read The Color Purple, it took me pages upon pages to get used to the phonetic manner in which it was written.  Eventually, I got with it and enjoyed it immensely.  A single forum thread will never allow for such intellectual integration and is therefore rendered practically indecipherable.  Which is the very reason why I decided to discontinue trying to read EBM555's posts after suffering through two of them.

    @EBM5555: You really are doing yourself a disservice... unless, of course, this is some sort of self-satisfying, linguistic art project.  In which case, knock your lights out.

    Re: Perhaps all it takes is to be able to spell "griefer" correctly.

     

    Thanks for the spell check.  Your help in this area is invaluable.  If you find any other errors, grammatical or otherwise, please don't hesitate to bring them to my attention.    

    Indeed, there's a possibility that
    the misspelling of 'greeefer' under details got the AR summarily dismissed
    .  It's also quite possible that some Lindens are
    elitist nerds who can become highly aroused in their quest for the picking of nits
    .

    It's a mystery.

    I've been in SL for many, many years now and I can count how many times I've run across an actual, reportable pedophile inworld on one hand with at least one digit to spare.  As I've previously suggested to you here, within this very forum, you might want to consider reevaluating the types of groups you join and friends you make in SL in order to better avoid such nonsense.

    Is it cheating?

    If you have a male avatar, and they are partnered with a female avatar who is not your real life wife and your real life wife starts playing sl and you have an SL affair with your real life wife without telling your SL partner is that cheating.

    And on who?

    Or whom?

    Who cares if it's cheating?  More importantly, what's deplorable is that you're having sex with your RL wife in VR rather than in person.

    Hint: It was illuminated parenthetically that I refrained from being too obvious. I have had a change of heart. Kudos if you can  find it. Bob evidently has.

    Well, you're no fun.  I thought we were RPing some sort of excrement-based poker tournament.  If I knew you were just trying to sell hamburgers, I'd have answered differently.

    So it's a synonym for "bullying" and "trolling," too, then. Some hypersensitive souls even call it "terrorism."

    You can not be banned for simply posting "yes".

    Although you can get a final warning for doing so.
