i'll go first
* what's your name? February Jinx
* when is your rez day? 11/30/2008 * male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? chick * what do you do? currently, not much .. gonna get back to creating * where are your haunts? GLBTQI HUB, Lesbian Paradise (when I'm desperate), Hooters and Shooters * what's the story behind your name? February = RL birth month and I was fairly sure it wasn't too common. Jinx = love the name Jinx, enough to eventually change my name legally to Jinx (no, not because of SL, I've thought about it for years!) * are you partnered? uh. no. * tell anything you want us to know! I've been off and on SL for years, Jinx is the newest and the only avi/name I've used for a since 2008. I was gone for nearly a year (August 2009 - July 2010) and am now getting back into the swing of things. I'm super flirtatious and always looking for new friends, so look me up and maybe we can hang out sometime. |

my thumbs are sore from my cellphone solitaire, but that's likely not the same as having a whole additional life.

lol.. I think what Jinx is talking about is an online game where you create a charactor and then interact with other folks in a virtual invironment with an avatar..
I've never played, but have thought about it.. Jinx, maybe you can tell us a little more about it?

skeeter, you know, I wasn't really sure what she was refering to either until I came into the thread.. lol. I was thinking something along the lines of cancer survivor or something like that lol
Jinx, now I am even more interested.. Tell us about it! Like is it hard to get started? Is it free? Do you have tips? Is there Butch/Femme/Trans space? BDSM or leather space? Is it chat based or mic based comunication? Hmmm.. Looking forward to getting to know more!

I don't know about the second life I'm just trying to get through the first life which is hard enough right now with the shingles and school and the god damn internship if the school ever gets me another one so somebody please explain the second life because I sure could use one right about now.

second life is totally free - although many soon find shopping in SL being a favourite hobby. If you are new to SL you will first have to make an avatar and you do that by downloading the viewer -but first you log in to the main webpage on www.secondlife.com where you click "join now" here you will find lots of different last names, you make your character and then use the information and login you make there when you open the viewer. when you enter the world of second life you can search for people you know the names of - like Jinxdgirl or me. My name in SL is Nerdine Thibaud one thing that amazed me when I started SL already back in 2006 was all the lesbians there. Don't be fooled though *lol* But if you know where to look you can find really good places with openminded people who accepts all colors of the rainbow. the GLBTQ Hub is one of those places. And I know several people here haunt the HUB. So - over to my answers to Jinxdgirl's questions: # what's your name? Nerdine Thibaud # when is your rez day? november 2006 # male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? sometimes male, sometimes female - I change. But mostly male lately # what do you do? I go to SL to talk and be with my friends # where are your haunts? the HUB, the Dutchess mostly, but also Rainbow Family Misfits # what's the story behind your name? I'm a Nerd, I'm female... # are you partnered? Yes - to my best friend |

The closest I'll ever get to Second Life is that their offices are literally across the hall from ours. (in real life)
They apparently bring catered lunches in to all of the employees. (in real life) A woman I know casually spends so much time in Second Life that she insists that the people she meets there are more real and closer friends to her than any of her other friends. (in real life)

Yep.... and I'm weird about it too (or so I'm told) because I've tweaked my avatar to look as much like my first life (real life) from face to hair to right down to the clothes I wear... lol.
Hmm, my rez day is like 8/?/2009... but I did a new account recently to change my name to my name to my real name, first name at least. I go in m-a-y-b-e two to three times a week depending. Since my avatars modeled after real life it's gq Boi 24/7-- I like to hang a bit at Greek Gold Lesbian Resort... I've been to Lesbian Paradise but it lags so bad AND if I forget to change my group tag above my head inveritably someone starts screaming "it's a man... man alert!!!" :/ LOL. Greek Gold is just way more welcoming to all folks, boi, butch, trans what have you. Also I like the Casinos, like Gold Rush Gaming but that's gone... some role play like Erie Isle and Terminal Island Correctional Institution but I haven't been there for a while... and that takes a lot of time... AND... *drum-roll* the number one thing I like in Second Life... shopping! I dunno *shrugs* I like shopping... I thought of getting a second avatar once for kicks- like an elderly man named Sterling who likes to show up at all the lesbian joints in his boxers with an umbrella drink just to see how long before he got teleported into outer space, lol Metro (and never checked out the GLBTQI Hub, I'll have to do that)

There is plenty of Butch/Femme/Trans space and a number of SL players are also members on BFP so, you've got the inside track to some good B/F/T welcoming places. There is TONS of BDSM/Leather space. And Butch/Femme/Trans welcoming kink space. But, as everywhere, be wary of the people that are SL kinksters only, they think they know everything when the type of play possible there isn't always realistic. The majority of communication is chat/text based, though there are many places where voice chat is enabled and so people can speak to each other, which is always fun. I often can't voice chat, but I can listen to those that are an type my responses, which is the best of both worlds. Sorry this thread wasn't clear from the outset, thank you all for being patient and at least curious enough to look into it. So, yay, that! |

This should have been in the first post!
Second Life (SL) is a virtual world, online. Sort of like The Sims but waaaaaaaaaaaay better.
If you've never been there, but are at all interested in 3D, highly interactive, highly user generated virtual world, I'd certainly recommend it. |

Well, interesting thread......
* what's your name? Scota Parisi * when is your rez day? 12/5/2006 * male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? Female - Annunaki. * what do you do? Generally, wander a lot and work security at The HuB. * where are your haunts? The HuB and the various assorted "lesbian" places. I generally prefer places the use Voice chat. (think Skype for not SL'ers). * what's the story behind your name? Scota is an old name for an Egyptian princess that some stories say "Scotland" is named after. I wanted an old name for Vampyre role playing inworld. * are you partnered? It's complicated. * tell anything you want us to know! I've seen a lot my time in Second Life. A lot of con artists, stalker types, really mentally unbalanced people. No patience for bullies in there either. Also seen a lot of good be done, people raising money for Relay for Life and other charities. In the early days, helped work security and helped deal with griefers (think internet trolls) that would attack areas known to be specifically places for homosexuals. Still working Security too. Used to be a gamer playing Star Wars Galaxies but the constraints they put on the game to keep it real to the combat stuff, made the game generally boring. I heard about a "virtual world" and fell down into the rabbit hole. Yours truly owns a small dance club called "Mezzaluna" that is away from the crowds in SL. No lag, soft jazz playing - it's very romantic. (yep, that's a plug!) I've mentored quite a lot of people in Second Life, helping them learn the ropes. If you join us there, post something here so that we can find you inworld and help you get started.

I run it on Win7 with no issues.
My rez date is 4/2007. I don't actually do anything in SL, I just sell stuff on xStreet. Primarily fabric textures for clothing and other designers. My avatar is about as nondescript as it gets and just stands in one spot on a bare strip of land. My SL experience is really just about L$ and conversion rates. |

The Emerald viewer has been banned or "removed from the approved viewer" list evidently because its last version had some malicious code in it. It should be coming back out soon to the approved list. There are many viewers that allow you onto the SL grid. I've heard its allowed, then I hear its not, someone from the creators group resigned, etc. Too much drama for a viewer if you ask me. Here is a list of the approved viewers....
