Wol Euler: :(
Wol Euler: So, the inofficial topic for today is "creativity in SL", and Twitchy was about to lead off.
Wol Euler grins.
TwitchyEars Resident: i di lead of but ill repost it
Agatha Macbeth: Xira has just given me a wonderful picture of myself (hand drawn) <3
TwitchyEars Resident: 13:12] Twitchy (twitchyears): aactually i like sl for its creativity. they say sl is what YOU make it. its true. it can be deadly boring if you want or it can be really interesting if you seek that out
Wol Euler: awwwww <3
Wol Euler: and yes, true
TwitchyEars Resident: awwww sweet
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Wol Euler: unlike games, where somebody leads you through from one entertainment or adventure to the next
Wol Euler: we have to make our own fun. Mostly.
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: And we do, usually
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I think that is one of the reasons for the low rate of retention in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Ten per cent?
TwitchyEars Resident: here its like rl, you can do whatever you like. right now im helping to build and do textures for a remade role play sim.
sosiso Resident: twitchy: thats an interesting idea
Wol Euler: people expect to find quests and levels and experience points, and are surprised and confused when they can't
Agatha Macbeth: It's a 'whole new ball game' as they say
Wol Euler: when I was a mentor, there would be one person every day who'd ask "where are the NPCs?"
TwitchyEars Resident: LOL
TwitchyEars Resident: i used to be one on my rp sim, thats the only place i saw them
Wol Euler: that's pretty well how I used to answer :) "you can become one!"
Agatha Macbeth: I was actually asked by a noob once 'what's a viewer?'....
TwitchyEars Resident: i like role play sims and places like this cos it brings in more creative people.
Wol Euler nods.
sosiso Resident: im using phoenix viewer :-)
sosiso Resident: i know that
Wol Euler: that puts you ahead of the curve then :)
sosiso Resident: :-)
Wol Euler: there's another level of creativity though, which we could talk about
Wol Euler: which is the simple fact of us sitting here talking :)
TwitchyEars Resident: ^^ yus
Wol Euler: many other ways of using an evening / afternoon / morning / night don't do that
Wol Euler: my neighbour watches TV until he falls asleep every night
Wol Euler: I sit in SL and chat every night
Agatha Macbeth: How exciting
Wol Euler: we both think the other is mad :)
TwitchyEars Resident: ive been looking for a place like this for a while. somewhere to work my brain instead if its usualy goo
TwitchyEars Resident: lol aga omg
sosiso Resident: i rarely watch tv
Wol Euler: :)
TwitchyEars Resident: watching tv turns my brain into houseplant
Agatha Macbeth: I never do
TwitchyEars Resident:nor do i
Wol Euler: I haven't watched TV since I discovered blogging, around 2004
Agatha Macbeth: Bring back the Wolblog!
TwitchyEars Resident: its been about 7 years for me. i prefer interaction
Alfred Kelberry: hi :)
Wol Euler: I realized pretty well instantly that there was little on Tv that was as interesting as what people were writing on the internets
Wol Euler: boxy!

Wol Euler: so far :)=
Agatha Macbeth: It's one small step for a machine....
Wol Euler: mhmm
TwitchyEars Resident: awesome :D
Bhang Tyran: its interesting that thaey chose to have this one nuclear powered
Wol Euler: the worldwide outpouring of sadness when MarsPhoenix signed off, probably to freeze to death, was quite moving
Agatha Macbeth: Let's hope it doesn't blow up
Agatha Macbeth: The Martians might think it's a declaration of war
Wol Euler: hehehe
sosiso Resident: in my german online community i got a mars mobil today :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh

Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: One of my first loves....

Agatha Macbeth: So it can't come back then?
Wol Euler: nope, nor will this one
Agatha Macbeth: I meant this one
Wol Euler: sorry :) but still "no"
Bhang Tyran: not until we pick up our interplanetary litter
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder what will become of it
Agatha Macbeth: Do things rust on Mars?
Wol Euler: probably yes but more slowly than here, I believe there's not much oxygen in the atmosphere
TwitchyEars Resident: prolly slowly dont think the oxygen content is high
Wol Euler: snap :)
TwitchyEars Resident: youre stealing my brain ? :P
Agatha Macbeth nods
Wol Euler: braaaaaaaaaaaaaiins
Wol Euler lurches and drools
Agatha Macbeth: She tried to steal mine too, but couldn't find one
Wol Euler: boom boom

Agatha Macbeth: It's called 'priorities'
Wol Euler nods.
TwitchyEars Resident: save this for later
TwitchyEars Resident: http://www.ted.com/talks/leymah_gbow..._of_girls.html
TwitchyEars Resident: it made me cry
Alfred Kelberry: aww
Agatha Macbeth: That looks interesting
TwitchyEars Resident: its about a woman african who works with girls in africa trying to get them into school and get them rights
Agatha Macbeth: That must be tough
Wol Euler nods.
Alfred Kelberry: *puts his paw on twity's shoulder* the good forces will prevail :)
TwitchyEars Resident: she spoke with such passion.
TwitchyEars Resident: thanks puppy :) cos sometimes i wonder
Wol Euler: well, they will if we want them to
Agatha Macbeth: Don't we all
TwitchyEars Resident: it made me feel selfish and spoiled ot see that video.
Agatha Macbeth: And lucky?
TwitchyEars Resident: VERY lucky
Alfred Kelberry: africa is a truly puzzling region for me
Wol Euler: incredibly lucky
Alfred Kelberry: i'd like to see how it would have evolved without colonial carving of the land
Agatha Macbeth: Much of the Indian subcont. is even worse in that respect
TwitchyEars Resident: it saddens me makes me mad. being a girl shouldnt be a crime. in lots of places it basically is. honour killings WTF is THAT ???
Agatha Macbeth: This is so true
Agatha Macbeth: Amazing to think it's the 21st century
Wol Euler: agreed
Agatha Macbeth: The standard excuse is 'they can't help it - it's their culture'
TwitchyEars Resident: some places its the 1500's look at romney. hed love to see us in chastity belts and barefoot. frothy lube santorum thinks having a college education makes you a snob
TwitchyEars Resident: one state in the us passed a law you need employers permission for birth control >.< keep your politics and religion OUT of my vagina
Agatha Macbeth: I've seen people in SL in chastity belts and barefoot :p
Agatha Macbeth: (oops)
Wol Euler: yeah, but that was by informed choice :)
TwitchyEars Resident: im sure you have aga :P
Agatha Macbeth grins
Wol Euler: the GOP wishes to enforce that against people's wishes (and rights)
TwitchyEars Resident: i wont ask how many you PUT into them :P
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: What's the GOP?
Wol Euler: republicans
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Wol Euler: Grand Old Party (self-called)
Agatha Macbeth: Easier to spell
Agatha Macbeth: Well they are descended from tories so what do you expect?
TwitchyEars Resident: personally i think they wanna recreate serfs
