2017.07.18 07:00 - Afflatus into Tiny Empires

    The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways.

    Which is almost not worth posting, except for what was discovered after the session time, having stayed to install a new scene in holodeck.

     

    Riddle Sideways: thank you, Listener Master
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: and welcome to Tuesday
    Riddle Sideways: remembering that you don't ring in the session.
           Yet the log has the bell.  Oh what twisted special conditional programming.
    Riddle Sideways: Son's cat is spending a few weeks as a house guest
    Riddle Sideways: which was not by the desires nor consent of the current four legged residence
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: she was just exploring all the hidden, high or most curious places in this office
    Riddle Sideways: walked right across the telephone buttons
    Riddle Sideways: climb up the filing cabinet and the printer atop it to knock over the birthday cards there and gaze into the closet


    Riddle Sideways: Noticing, by not seeing, that the group of afk avatars are no longer in the field to the east end of our sim.
    Riddle Sideways: visited them several times over this last week or so
    Riddle Sideways: leaving public chat and IM to each.
    Riddle Sideways: they never answered back.
    Riddle Sideways: Stevenia said the same
    Riddle Sideways: on each visit the group were standing in the same positions
    Riddle Sideways: though their animations, stands, etc. made them look alive and moving
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: In chat in another world the word of the day is "Afflatus"
    Riddle Sideways: a truely lovely word
    Riddle Sideways: Afflatus
    Riddle Sideways: that should occur so often that it be said/written daily
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: In googling Afflatus and reading published uses ran across:
    Riddle Sideways: "So one picks up this novel ready to be transtormed by the afflatus of its hipnicity" - Washington Post
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: By

     

    Left radar on.  Noted some people from the visitor center flying around.
    Then blip of somebody logging in to the east of pavilion, stone circle and mountain facade.

    Speedy quick fly to them.
    There were 3 there. Polite Public chat and private IM got no response.  Left them nice welcoming neighbor messages.  And queried what their group was.
    While writing 2 more log in.  These are the same avatar names and shapes, so welcome them back.  No response.

    Another one logs in...  and answers "Hi" back.
    After much dialogue it is revealed...  They are all playing "Tiny Empires".

    Gave a PaB intro notecard, said they were welcome and we had just been curious.

    Seems 'Tiny Empires' is a MUDD played inside SL on abandoned land wearing a HUD. Think that they probably block out all other chat.
