Let me get you some resources on earning money, Ritinha |
| 15:06 |
Ritinha86 |
Thanks a lot |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
There are a few different ways you can earn money in SL While they aren't usually very good (not nearly as good as a RL job, for example) here are a few resourecs to help you get started: |

Once you've taken a good look at those you'll have a better idea on how to earn L$, but please do feel free to ask if anything is unclear ❤ |

Other questions? |

Ok |
| 15:11 |
KimberlyDworkas |
what's the pay like, badger? |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
Please do feel free to ask any questions, though. Big or small, there's no wrong thing to ask |
| 15:12 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
Whoever usually runs Monsieur Trebuchet should remove the reindeer near the train station |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
I left them. They seem happy there. |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll likely remove them after winter is a bit more gone. |

Not from me :) |

Larky (larkylouz) |
A small announcement. I will be trying to make it to most of the classes and events this week to poll attendees on where they heard of the event. Trying to figure out if the social media is helping COU traffic at all. |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
Ok. |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll ask my class about that when I see them |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
(I sometimes forget, so I'll put a note in my class outline) |
| 15:16 |
highlyadjective |
I admit I don't look at SL stuff on social mediums |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Some people find our events through the events part of the website |
| 15:16 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
SL is about as close as I get to using social media |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There is FB and Twitter channel. I have not found Mastodon channel if there is one... |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
If SL is on Mastodon, it hides well. |
| 15:17 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
I won't touch FB |
| 15:18 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
There are a lot of people on FB and Twitter who are in SL - quite a community. However, most of them are strangers to me. I never looked at social media before I started doing this publicity stuff. |
| 15:18 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
What's Mastodon? |
| 15:18 |
Phrynne |
There are a lot of SL people on FB, but everyone doesn't use their SL name |
| 15:18 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
true |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
Mastodon is a sort of twitter replacement, from my understanding |
| 15:19 |
highlyadjective |
I'll touch FB but only to keep in touch with groups more than people |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm not sure of its usage metrics comparatively |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
Mastodon is another social media site -- a distributed one, think of a lot of small towns connected together -- and I am still figuring out how to get anywhere with it |
| 15:19 |
KimberlyDworkas |
It's an open source distributed sort of twitter |
| 15:19 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
I think someone started Mastodon when Musk took over Twitter |
| 15:19 |
KimberlyDworkas |
no, mastodon has been around for a while |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
the difference is that on Twitter you could talk to anyone else on Twitter, whereas you only interact with a subset on Mastodon |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
Anyways we are getting a bit off topic. I am hearing no additional questions - so last call. any questions as to SL matters? ❤ |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
MAstodon existed long before Musk bought Twitter. Some governments and EU departments have now Mastodon servers |
| 15:20 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Is there any place in SL where people tell puns? Inquiring minds..... |
| 15:20 |
lovejoy2199 |
LOL |
| 15:20 |
highlyadjective |
Twitter is a pretty small part of social, for the notice it gets. I imagine Mastodon is pretty tiny |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Oxbridhe Plaza when Sandie is around :-) |

Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
Club Cutlass is ground zero for puns |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
You might try book island |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
Though I don't know of any one spot that's dedicated to wordplay. |
| 15:21 |
KimberlyDworkas |
I tell puns when I'm dancing sometimes |
| 15:21 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Ah, Sandie! |
| 15:22 |
|
Larky (larkylouz) proposes a formal Pun Match between Ember and Sandie.... |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, I'm no good at competitive things |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
I just like making people smile :-) |
| 15:22 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
You do just fine as a solo act!!!! |
| 15:22 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Competitions are not always necessary |
| 15:22 |

Lyban smiles |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
With no further questions, though, I will go ahead and wrap us up for the day. Thank you all for coming. |

I'm just being silly, you lot. Don't mind me. |
