  1. In RL: I would stop working, make sure my Dad gets the best, unlimited, (medical) care for the rest of his life, get a nice piece of land to make a private dog park for my dogs (they don’t like other dogs….), buy an electric car and a heat-pump for my house.

     

    In SL: getting a few regions. One to live on and some for friends to use as they please.

  2. I’ve been living on mainland, on the same parcel, since 2009. Other parcels around me get sold every so often and new neighbours arrive. Some keep their land empty, some decorate it nicely, and occasionally there is one that puts up horrible stuff like huge walls. I’ve never asked anyone to remove walls, only when something is hanging over the parcel border. My experience is that most of those neighbours -with a need for walls - move out in a few months, probably to a place where they get even more privacy. If you like your place, try to sit it out and see how long that renter will stay.

    My question for the forum is: How far will YOU go to satisfy the arbitrary requirements of a parcel owner to satisfy their set standards, be it height, number of scripts, avatar complexity, clothing style, species, gender, mesh vs non mesh, etc etc etc.

     

    I explore a lot and I have no problem in dressing to theme if that's required. Same for going to clubs. However, I will not edit my shape, height, skin, gender or species. 

    I've been ejected from maybe 2 or 3 regions in all those years, due to being too short, I don't care enough to remember the places. On a few occasions, I've been asked to change my elf ears into human ears, to which I complied (and kept the visit short)
    If I know upfront, like going to Berlin 1920s - I make sure my ears are human and the outfit is good to go (I will even remove my too-modern make-up).

    If I don't feel like changing anything, I don't go.

    The funniest ejection was probably from a well-known ballroom, for not wearing panties under my very decent gown (I totally forgot about them!). The hostess must have been a fanatic panty-checker. I just laughed.

    If you need help with learning about the birds and the bees, a mentor is the last place to look for help.

     

    Actually, new residents can ask for help concerning adult activities, attachments etc, because it's a fact that a lot of questions newcomers (and not so new) have are about 'the birds and the bees' once they've figured out how to walk, talk and get (un)dressed.

    And yes, not every mentor feels comfortable with this topic (or lacks the experience), so they can always request a mentor who does and has no issues in dealing with that, to take over and help someone out.

    Just like some mentors are great in avatar customisation, building, roleplay, linden homes...etc, there are also mentors happy to assist in adult matters.

    My 2 cents: If you like to explore and look inside other peoples houses because you want to see how people live, one should do that from the outside of the parcel camming in and with a lot of respect and discretion. So checking out the style: fine. Checking out the animations: not so much IMHO.
     

    This. And, as an avid explorer myself, I would advise keeping the exploring to ground level. There is not much to explore in the sky anyway and people's skyboxes are not for you to snoop around in.
