Re: [DDN] Questions about Second Life

[Claude Almansi]

Thank you All for your reassuring, informed and witty answers. Here is
a picture of my  avatar as I want it to appear (1):
. And next time I
find it in the altogether  it'll get a burqa. Not in the standard
clothes' allotment, though.

Best

Claude

(1) The odd situation is due to the fact it's  awkward to take a
snapshot of the front of your avatar, so I took it  off some cliff
where there were no other avatars in sight to see me turning and
stopping.

you immediately transport (fly) to to remote location and get dressed. Im
assuming you have the necessary clothing items already? If not, get back to
orientation island.

I always try to leave myself somewhere out of a common area when i leave ...
haven't been back since the update thought ...

I used to be a student at UPenn Annenberg, and that sort of thing  
happened all the time.  Worst case scenario, you'll be surrounded my  
master's students documenting your new form of communication for  
their theses.

More seriously -- Andy is right, and in any case there's lots of  
stuff that goes on in SL that would be shocking in RL.  Faux pas from  
newer users are always taken in stride.

Best,
Jeff

Hi Claude

Bald and stark naked may happen when a large amount of data traffic from
your current position (textures, objects, scripts) interrupts the body
rendering.

Sletiquette on this?  Well it happens at times so we all get used to the
possibility.  Just move out of any traffic around you and wait till
you're rendered.  Often the rendering can be sped up by right-clicking
your avatar and selecting appearance.  Make a minute change in anything
(so the Save button isnt greyed out) then Save.  This often speeds up
the process.

Cheers

Hi All

As there are some Second Life experts and even denizens in this list:

Yesterday evening, I wanted to take a look at the USC sim on Annenberg
Island in Second Life
<http://slurl.com/secondlife/Annenberg%20Island/187/67/40> because they
are going to have an iCommons meeting there (see
http://uscpublicdiplomacy.org/index.php/iSummitSL ). The software said
it wanted an update. I did it and my avatar landed, completely bald and
stark naked in front of the sim of  Harvard's Berkman Center (last SL
joint I had visited before).

- Does this kind of thing often happen?
- What is the sletiquette if there is another avatar nearby in such
cases?  You make the avatar jump into a bush? You chat normally as you
get dressed?

Best

Re: [DDN] Questions about Second Life

[andycarvin]

you should have gotten a message saying that your avatar's appearance would be 
normal to other users, and the lack of clothes would just be on your end, as it 
were.
