Marion Questi |
Let us make a start. |
| 19:02 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome everyone! |
| 19:02 |
Marion Questi |
This is an "open mic" Q&A which we hold at this time every week. We, the Deans of Oxbridge, assemble to answer questions from the attendees about Oxbridge, it's mission and operation, or about SL in general. |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
Who would like to ask the first question? |
| 19:03 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I would |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
Yes, Mr Blookfury. |
| 19:03 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Is there any role playing here at Caledon? |
| 19:04 |
Marion Questi |
There is some...but not a great deal. |
| 19:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, Caledon is obstensibly Victorian Steampunk. |
| 19:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Adoption of the dress and civility of that genre is always welcome, although not required. |
| 19:05 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Yeah I noticed and I love the Victorian Era. I just wanted to know if period clothing was offered as a freebie. I know there are a few role playing groups on SL who offer a free set of clothing fit to their style of role play. |
| 19:05 |
Marion Questi |
Most of the role playing consists of Victorian customs and manners. |
| 19:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For the new avatar, we do have such in the Hall of Avatar Appearance. |
| 19:06 |
Marion Questi |
There are some freebies in the RR Depot., but I'm not sure we have any complete outfits other than those offered to newcomers under 30 days old. |
| 19:07 |
Marion Questi |
It's been a while since I actually checked what was on offer in the Depot. |
| 19:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are generally things also available in the main square of Victoria City |
| 19:07 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I see. Unfortunately, my Avatar is not so new. Is there any chance of there being Victorian Clothing offered for more veteran players myself who love the idea of creating a Victorian Character? |
| 19:07 |
Larkylouz |
I believe there is a free outfit for each gender in the Gazebo behind the depot. |
| 19:07 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Whoops! I think I spoke too soon. |
| 19:08 |
Martini Discovolante |
and severl a free things on the cart in Victoria City |
| 19:08 |
Marion Questi |
Ah yes! I forgot about the carts. |
| 19:08 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |
Also, check out the freebies in stores - for example BlakOpal. |
| 19:08 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Okay. Can I have a landmark to th9is Victoria City please? |
| 19:08 |
Martini Discovolante |
plus, BlakOpal, in the next region east of us has a very handsome ensmble for both mae and fremale avatars |
| 19:08 |
Martini Discovolante |

| 19:09 |
Martini Discovolante |
i dropped on on you as well |
| 19:09 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Thank you! I got it. |
| 19:09 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome Dean Metropolitan. |
| 19:10 |
Marion Questi |
Next question then? |
| 19:10 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
From me or anybody? |
| 19:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's now a four dean night. |
| 19:10 |
Marion Questi |
Anyone. |
| 19:10 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I have one |
| 19:10 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Just one more... |
| 19:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm sorry I was late. Visting my parents. Just got back. |
| 19:10 |
Martini Discovolante |
for anyone, if you are askign about BlakOpla |
| 19:11 |
Marion Questi |
/me smiles. "Proceed!" |
| 19:11 |
Martini Discovolante |
certainly! |
| 19:11 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Anyway...Do any of you know if there will be any role playing events or 'plots' here in Caledon? |
| 19:11 |
Martini Discovolante |
no sir.. we are rather 'freeform |
| 19:11 |
Martini Discovolante |
' |
| 19:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We have various balls and dances. |
| 19:12 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I see. Well, when this class is over, I will be sure to check out the land marks you've given to me) |
| 19:12 |
Marion Questi |
I think the Crimson Pirates do RP, don't they? |
| 19:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the Black Moon Marauders are often rumming and dancing on Caledon Lyr. |
| 19:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There are groups within Caledon that do that sort of thing. |
| 19:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
Miss Wendyslippers teaches a RP class here every sunday night at 5pm SLT |
| 19:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
so is a very good source of differnt RP adventures |
| 19:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
AND, of course, there is the Quest. |
| 19:14 |
Marion Questi |
Well...the Quest is a sort of adventure game...not strictly RP. |
| 19:14 |
Martini Discovolante |
an excellent method for exploring Caedon |
| 19:15 |
Marion Questi |
Next question? |
| 19:15 |
Saiorsia |
/me meekly raises her hand |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What do you want to know? |
| 19:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Miss Salorsia? |
| 19:15 |
Saiorsia |
I've made several changes to my avatar... |
| 19:16 |
Saiorsia |
and saved said changes, but they don't seem to stick. |
| 19:16 |
Saiorsia |
I'm having trouble understanding the connection between shapes and skins |
| 19:16 |
Saiorsia |
It seems to be the skin that makes my changes dissappear. |
| 19:16 |
Marion Questi |
The shape is the underlying 3D thing. The skin is just its covering and coloring. |
| 19:17 |
Saiorsia |
How do I save the exact copy of what I'm happy with? |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What SL client are you using? |
| 19:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Shape is exactly that. The shape of the avatar as set by the various sliders. |
| 19:17 |
Saiorsia |
A very good question Dean Metropolitan. One that I do not know how to answer |
| 19:17 |
Saiorsia |
though I am new. so... |
| 19:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Are you using the one you downloaded from the Second Life website? |
| 19:18 |
MikeVa Waco |
You may first want to be sure that everything you wish to copy CAN be copied Miss... |
| 19:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you click on the help menu and then About Second Life.... |
| 19:18 |
Martini Discovolante |
then you are in the most recent SL viewer :) |
| 19:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. That should not be an issue for her making an outfit, MikeVa |
| 19:18 |
Saiorsia |
Yes I am using the one that was downloaded |
| 19:18 |
Martini Discovolante |
unless you had soemone set up your account for you. |
| 19:18 |
Saiorsia |
I did not |
| 19:19 |
Martini Discovolante |
great! |
| 19:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. Are you still in "Basic Mode"? Or did you go ahead and set your SL client to normal mode? |
| 19:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Skin is separate from shape. While shape is literally the shape, skin is the texturing on the surface of that shape. |
| 19:19 |
Saiorsia |
I changed nothing that I am aware of |
| 19:19 |
Saiorsia |
Thank you Dean Jarvinen |
| 19:19 |
MikeVa Waco |
I stand corrected Mr. Metro. Thank you... |
| 19:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Skin and shape can be saved separately. |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Well, if she's in the "Basic Mode" that they start new accounts with, she might not have access to the full Outfit controls and folder. |
| 19:20 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh she is so new,, that she has all the functions.. she is okay |
| 19:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When you save an "outfit", you save those as well. |
| 19:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think I'm overcomplicating things. Maybe LL stopped doing "Basic Mode" for new users. |
| 19:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
/me shuts up. |
| 19:21 |
Marion Questi |
I'm not sure there is a Basic Mode any more... |
| 19:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I believe they did with v3; Just went to the button interface. |
| 19:21 |
Saiorsia |
giggle |
| 19:21 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
:D |
| 19:21 |
Martini Discovolante |
miss Saiorsia... when you have a look you like, click on yourself, choose MY APPEARANCE |
| 19:21 |
Saiorsia |
yes |
| 19:22 |
Martini Discovolante |
a window will pop up. |
| 19:22 |
Martini Discovolante |
APPEARANCE,, with two tabs, My outfits, adn WEARING |
| 19:22 |
Martini Discovolante |
at the bottom, is SAVE AS |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
click that , and you will be prompted to NAME the outfit you re wearing |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
it will save EVERYTHING |
| 19:23 |
Saiorsia |
Yes, I've done that. and I have trouble specifically with the hair sticking in one... |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
shape, skin, attachments, etc. |
| 19:23 |
Gronk Seriman |
Just yesterday, I encountered a glitch that may be related. I put together an outfit and saved it. It did NOT save my shape, however. |
| 19:23 |
Saiorsia |
and then when I sample a new skin, it makes it impossible to go back to the other skin without reverting to an "outfit" i saved that .... |
| 19:24 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Gronk, what she is describing does not sound like it is working correctly. |
| 19:22 |
Saiorsia |
well, let's just say I can not wear it in public. I was told to save an initial avatar of just shape skin hair and eyes. |
| 19:22 |
Martini Discovolante |
you can click MY OUTFITS, adn look in the highlighted folder ( your current wear) |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
adn in therem you will see the skin that is part of that outfit NOT highlighted. |
| 19:23 |
Josain Zsun |
There were grid wide inventory serve issues most of yesterday. |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
click it and choose WEAR and it will replace the demo skin |
| 19:24 |
Saiorsia |
ok. |
| 19:24 |
Saiorsia |
Is it possible to have multiple avatars saved on this account? say I like this skin and shape, but want to save one with different hair? |
| 19:24 |
Martini Discovolante |
and i do liek to have a presentable av.. WITH undies on :) saved as a basic! |
| 19:25 |
Saiorsia |
hehe that's a good plan Dean Discovolante |
| 19:25 |
Marion Questi |
You can save as many outfits as you like....and some outfits may consist only of a shape and a skin. |
| 19:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are times that you have saved an outfit and are wearing it, but when you log in, the inventory server is having problems and can't access everything. |
| 19:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Unless you don't wear underwear, but that's beyond the scope of this class :) |
| 19:26 |
Larkylouz |
hee |
| 19:26 |
Martini Discovolante |
you change the hair, and then click yourself, choose MY Appearance, adn in that SAVE AS. rename it so you can recognise the change |
| 19:26 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
there is a 'save as' choice with outfits... so you can keep elements of an outfit and add new things |
| 19:26 |
Saiorsia |
lol |
| 19:26 |
Saiorsia |
So, just to make sure I'm clear, the changes will appear saved in "My Outfits"? |
| 19:26 |
Carl Metropolitan |
True. Earlier this weekend, my alpha layer was rezzing for some people and not rezzing for others. It looked like by bare buttocks were hanging out from my mesh pants. Someone took a picture for me. I changed clothes. |
| 19:26 |
Martini Discovolante |
but a good emergency oneDOES include the unmentionables :) |
| 19:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes |
| 19:26 |
Saiorsia |
Thank you! |
| 19:27 |
Martini Discovolante |
i still cannot see your pants, Carl |
| 19:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And you can later go to that outfit and select 'replace current outfit'. |
| 19:27 |
Marion Questi |
Your pants are fine Carl...:) |
| 19:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Today they are. |
| 19:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Friday; not so much. |
| 19:27 |
Saiorsia |
I cant see any of Dean Metropolitan's torso... |
| 19:27 |
Xanss |
what is the quickest way to get L$ |
| 19:27 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
Dean Carl's pants look fine but his head is missing a chunk... |
| 19:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Dang. |
| 19:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which makes a convenient means of changing base sets of clothing. |
| 19:27 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
is a bit fascinating |
| 19:28 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
oh....fixed now |
| 19:28 |
Saiorsia |
Thank you so much for the knowledge. :) I plan to put it to use after class. |
| 19:28 |
Josain Zsun |
Become a builder of items other residents will buy |
| 19:28 |
Carl Metropolitan |
This has been going on for a while. Please don't assume your problems are your fault. Blame Linden Lab. It's what we pay them for. |
| 19:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
More specifically become a creator of clothing, shoes, hair, jewelry, skins, etc. that other residents will buy. |
| 19:29 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I think the easiest way to get Lindens is either to buy them or to get a premium account. Just my two cents. |
| 19:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Those sales dwarf that of "stuff" |
| 19:29 |
Xanss |
ok |
| 19:29 |
Marion Questi |
Shall we move along to the next question? |
| 19:29 |
Marion Questi |
Anyone? |
| 19:29 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I have another one... |
| 19:30 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Two actually... |
| 19:30 |
Marion Questi |
Go ahead Mr Blookfury. |
| 19:31 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
First...Is it possible to program a script with multiple sounds? And two...How do you create Linden grass, trees, and water? |
| 19:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You can't create Linden Water. |
| 19:31 |
Marion Questi |
You can certainly invoke several sounds from within a single script |
| 19:31 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
/me wiggles her fingers above head for next question and waits |
| 19:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
By multiple sounds to mean a selection or simultaneous? |
| 19:31 |
Martini Discovolante |
ummm. Dunno, and , you don't. |
| 19:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Only the sim owner can do that by setting "sea level" for a sim |
| 19:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
On the mainland, it is set by LL and can't be changed. |
| 19:32 |
Marion Questi |
All the Linden plants are in you Library inventory. You can use them anywhere you like. |
| 19:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You can created Linden Trees by opening the "Build Window" |
| 19:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Linden grass and trees are in the 'library' section of your inventory. |
| 19:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Then use the "Create Tab" (the magic wand tab) and select the tree icon |
| 19:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It will rez a random Linden Tree |
| 19:33 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
wow |
| 19:33 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I mean when the script is able to play more than one sound at a time. |
| 19:33 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Sorry I was afking |
| 19:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There is also a "grass" icon next to it, that will rez a sort of grassy landcover |
| 19:33 |
Martini Discovolante |
but you have to own the land |
| 19:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I believe you can trigger more than one sound. |
| 19:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But timing is always 'iffy' |
| 19:34 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
The thing is...I am only knowing the basics of scripting meaning I goggle and use a site which does most of the hard work for you. |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llTriggerSound |
| 19:35 |
Marion Questi |
I think I would write two separate scripts, each invoking a single sound, and then call them with a link message. |
| 19:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
In general, you are better off purchasing resident created trees or grass, though. With mesh and sculpties you can get them as low prim as the Linden ones. |
| 19:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
How is that for having your two questions answered simultaneously :) |
| 19:36 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Hmm...I wish I would have thought of this as I was able to program some of my trees on my property with one sound per tree. Not all of my trees allow them to have a script placed inside them though. |
| 19:36 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I am not sure of this...I asked about Linden Trees and Grass and I also asked about scripting which sort-of ties in with the trees and grass because of what I just said. |
| 19:37 |
Marion Questi |
Have we answered your questions Mr Bloodfury? |
| 19:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Linden Trees are special prims. You can't do things with them that you can do with normal prims, including adding scripts and linking them to other objects |
| 19:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You are best off finding some trees you can buy with Modify perms if you want to use scripts in them |
| 19:38 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Yes this answers them. Thank you. I just wanted to find out about this as it was on my mind ever since I've been landscaping my house. |
| 19:39 |
Marion Questi |
Fair enough. Next question? |
| 19:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Who had the next question? |
| 19:39 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
nods |
| 19:39 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
question: just for clarity... in the sandbox today.. I decided to leave when some rough language and weapons were used. In retrospect I feel I should have done something to prevent other AVs from walking into that without warning. What's a good guide for someone who has no official standing to do? |
| 19:40 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If it was a Linden sandbox, you can file an abuse report |
| 19:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The sandbox here or elsewhere? |
| 19:40 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
here |
| 19:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Call for help on the Oxbridge Chat Channel, or the ISC channel if you have access to that. |
| 19:41 |
Larkylouz |
We had at least one incident in the plaza this afternoon with a punk with a mouth and a gun. |
| 19:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Asking in the the scholars group is appropriate. |
| 19:41 |
Marion Questi |
You can let one of the tutors know...or Professor, or Dean. Anyone wearing an Oxbridge tag. |
| 19:41 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
simple enough, thank you |
| 19:41 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
it was too confusing to file an AR...I had no idea who started what |
| 19:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oxbridge is well-monitored - often by people throughout Caledon who can help. |
| 19:42 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Can I ask one final question? This is one which I think will boggle the minds of all the professors here. |
| 19:42 |
Marion Questi |
We do our best to maintain proper decorum in the Oxbridge and the sandbox. |
| 19:43 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
oh yes... I agree, very decorous... it just was a fluke I hope |
| 19:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Boggle away. |
| 19:43 |
Martini Discovolante |
<<< boggle-ready |
| 19:43 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Okay. So I have two similar cards...Almost identical. One is a prepaid debit card and one is a gift card. With me so far/ |
| 19:43 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
? |
| 19:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. And LL will accept one and not the other, right? |
| 19:44 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Correct. But here is the mind-boggler...The both have the SAME LOGO...Visa. |
| 19:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
They will take the Prepaid Debit Card, but not the Gift Card. |
| 19:45 |
Martini Discovolante |
they are two different products though |
| 19:45 |
Carl Metropolitan |
As far as I can tell, they think taking gift cards is too risky. More of a potential for chargebacks. They may be right. I can't see their internals. |
| 19:45 |
Marion Questi |
I don't pretend to understand it...but LL had some fraud issues years ago...and set restrictions on what they would accept. |
| 19:46 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Really? How so? And I was not aware of this. I am guessing there are companies which can be very picky about the type of card they will accept. |
| 19:46 |
Martini Discovolante |
i AM happy to see that they still accept prepaid cards. |
| 19:46 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |
/me judges that deans unboggled yet. |
| 19:46 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
heh |
| 19:46 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Yeah me to. If they did not, then I would not have a house yet. |
| 19:46 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Not even boggled. Pretty much what I expected. |
| 19:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Some of us are pre-boggled, Dr. Flee, so no detectable state change. |
| 19:47 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is a good way for people to bring money in world, without having a credit card account |
| 19:47 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Yeah i told you this was a very odd issue. I had wanted to ask because I tried to use my gift card to buy Lindens and of course it did not work. |
| 19:47 |
Satyrdey Mynx |
the ways of Lindens are mysterious... |
| 19:48 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is (as the tech support people say) a "Known Issue" |
| 19:48 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
You said it. Well, I think this question was the most puzzling of all but I guess you guys answered it best. |
| 19:48 |
Marion Questi |
I still think the best way to get money in and out of SL is via PayPal. |
| 19:48 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Who has the next question? |
| 19:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A debit card is less likely to be transient. |
| 19:48 |
Saiorsia |
/me raises her hand |
| 19:49 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
But as to why a gift card with the same logo as a prepaid debit card would not work would be very puzzling to everyone...Maybe... |
| 19:49 |
Marion Questi |
Yes Miss Saiorsia? |
| 19:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Once the gift card is done, it is done. |
| 19:50 |
Saiorsia |
Is it possible to have multiple avatars, with separate names, on one account? |
| 19:50 |
Saiorsia |
Or must you open a new account for each? |
| 19:50 |
Martini Discovolante |
new account for each |
| 19:50 |
Marion Questi |
Avatar = Account |
| 19:50 |
Saiorsia |
Great, thank you :) |
| 19:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Technically separate accounts, but with the same RL information. |
| 19:51 |

you may have five, i believe |
| 19:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You may actually have five per email address |
| 19:51 |

On the other hand, you can change anything about an avatar (except original name) within one account. |
| 19:52 |
Larkylouz |
How do they track that? Ah. Mr Metropolitan has answered my basic question. |
| 19:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Shape, gender, species, clothes, fur, .... |
| 19:52 |
Saiorsia |
I have a friend that joined years ago, and since I began playing, came to join. But he's now unhappy with his name, and wanted to make a new avatar. That's why I asked |
| 19:52 |
Josain Zsun |
But, if you get into financial trouble with LL with one, all may be disabled. |
| 19:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Billing and Account Creation don't track any farther than email address. But if you use the Avatars in such a way as to violate the Terms of Service, they can ban you by a hash of your IP address and ethernet card (I believe) |
| 19:53 |
Saiorsia |
I believe the concern is, that he'll lose his status as an older member |
| 19:53 |
Marion Questi |
He will certainly do that. |
| 19:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can change display names now. |
| 19:53 |
Saiorsia |
Aha! Golden :) |
| 19:53 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |
And also forfeit all non-transferable inventory |
| 19:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, much of the scripted content sees your avatar name |
| 19:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
looking for the old Firstname Lastname format |
| 19:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So your account name will be seen. |
| 19:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There is also a social cachet in having an older account. It is silly, but it does exist. |
| 19:55 |
Saiorsia |
Indeed. I believe the stigma resides in not being a "newbie" such as myself ;) |
| 19:56 |
Marion Questi |
Actually, lots of people create a new avatar after having been in-world a while. They seek a fresh start. |
| 19:56 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Newbieness is often measured by some particular sets of behavior trait.s |
| 19:57 |
Saiorsia |
Oh yes? |
| 19:57 |
Saiorsia |
Such as an AO, or lack there-of, or how the individual acts? |
| 19:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Often a misperception of expectations. |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is silly. |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Like RL, in SL lots of people judge others for silly reasons |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't have an AO |
| 19:57 |
Saiorsia |
True |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I've been here close to eight years. |
| 19:58 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I have an AO ^.^ |
| 19:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Believing everyone is a non-person character, friending everyone in sight, .... |
| 19:58 |
Saiorsia |
/me smiles cheerily |
| 19:58 |
Josain Zsun |
I just Owe |
| 19:58 |
Saiorsia |
aha. Yes, that makes sense Dean Jarvinen |
| 19:58 |
Saiorsia |
Owe, Mr. Zsun |
| 19:58 |
Saiorsia |
? |
| 19:59 |
Marion Questi |
Weak pun, Miss Saiorsia...:) |
| 19:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Trying to pick up anyone remotely female (I have a pink robot avatar for that set) |
| 19:59 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I have a question for Miss Martini |
| 19:59 |
Saiorsia |
/me giggles |
| 19:59 |
Marion Questi |
Go ahead Mr Bloodfury.. |
| 19:59 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
What does your title ODDest bird mean? This may be silly but...I am curious now ^.^ |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
oops! |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
i forgot to change |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is a group. |
| 20:00 |
Larkylouz |
Yes, I thought that was a Cymbal original until you showed up with it! |

Oxbridge Dodos of Distinction |

Marion Questi |
Our mascot at Oxbridge is the Dodo... |
| 20:00 |
Larkylouz |

| 20:00 |
Larkylouz |
Story time! |
| 20:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you own a group, you can make up any titles you want. |
| 20:00 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I have spoken to the Dodo before |
| 20:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Some people create groups just to have silly titles |
| 20:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You will find one among the tutorials. |
| 20:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(an Oxbridge Dodo) |
| 20:01 |
Josain Zsun |
And the rabbit? |
| 20:01 |
Martini Discovolante |
you can meet him yourself, up on our sandbox |
| 20:01 |
Martini Discovolante |
and his yacky brother, in the tutorial |
| 20:01 |
Martini Discovolante |
the rabbit, or hare is the mascot of Caledon |
| 20:01 |
Marion Questi |
And Dean Discovolante runs an excellent pub, called the Dodo Redux....as you can see by my fez...:) |
| 20:01 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Also, Carl, I notice you don't even have a group tag. Why is this? |
| 20:02 |
Martini Discovolante |
:) you can choose not to have one |
| 20:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If one selects the group 'none' there is no group tag. |
| 20:02 |
Martini Discovolante |
click on yourself, choose MY GROUPS, and select NONE |
| 20:02 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
I knew but seeing he was next to the professors, this had me curious... |
| 20:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You can turn it off by going to the group window, selecting "none" at the top of the window and then hitting the check box |
| 20:02 |
Saiorsia |
/me excuses herself for a moment. |
| 20:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm now showing my title as a high ranking member of the Caledon Nobility :) |
| 20:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Our group are legion. |
| 20:03 |
Martini Discovolante |
and as for Carl... he certainly would not want to belong to any group that would have him. |
| 20:03 |
乇гίς ℬlσσdℱυrу (henrycrawford) |
Ha! Very funny! TBS> The Superstation. |
| 20:03 |
