Honesty Challenge Part Two

2010-03-08T13:10:00.002-07:00

With my recent challenge a lot of drama has been stirred up. People claiming left and right that I have an ill intent with this challenge or that I am attacking the public. I'd like to clear up any confusion in my first mention of the Challenge. I did unintentionally generalize the masses, as was kindly pointed out to me today. That was not my intent. A good handful of the Second Life population claim their second and first lives have no relation. Zero. My statements were to address that, as I personally beg to differ. Your Second Life is another piece of your real life, regardless of how you see it. If Second Life didn't affect you or be of some significance to your real life, you wouldn't log in anymore. That said, yes I know people live seperate lives entirely from their first life. Which was my point.

On another note, I don't take back the fact that I think people aren't honest. It's our nature as humans to lie, whether it is an unintended bluff or a malicious deception. It is plain fact, and we all know that. I have discovered that online it is more common and easier to deceive people. That is why I commented about the untruths of Second Life users. It was not an attack on the public or anyone specifically. It's a statement of truth.

Lastly, I completely agree with not participating in this apparently controversial challenge for personal purposes. I would never ask you to bare your life information. I completely understand people being private about their lives to any extent, or just not desiring to participate whether it's because you just don't feel like it or your don't agree with it. It is like a board game. You wont play it if you don't want to. Period.

My challenge is intended solely to put facts about ourselves out there, no matter how minuscule and plain they may seem. Whatever makes you comfortable, and whatever you want to put out there whether it be a serious subject or as silly as being obsessed with Hello Kitty. I'm not asking you to divulged your inner most secrets, throw all of your personal information out there, or set yourself up for disaster. The idea is to find commonalities you may have with others that you didn't know where there before. Yes, this is getting to know people in a different format. What of it?

Honestly, it's as simple as telling the world your favorite color is yellow. Please don't look into this challenge for more than it is.

On another note, I have been reading some wonderful confessions. I'm glad a lot of you have taken on this challenge. It's lovely to see what little quirks and not-so-secret secrets everyone has!

Honesty Challenge

2010-03-04T20:00:00.001-07:00

I challenge you to be honest.

That's right, I am challenging you, all of you, everyone to be honest with yourselves and those surrounding you. I want you to announce at least one truth about yourself every day for the length of a week, starting whenever you want. That means seven days of at least seven honest facts or statements about YOU. Send a note card, plurk it, post it on your myspace or facebook, email it, get it out there. SL or RL, just be honest!

Some of you are sitting here reading this thinking of how ridiculous I must be for suggesting such a thing. You hide behind your computers and pretend Second Life has no relevance or relation to your real lives, but it is a crock of shit. If SL didn't have any connection to who you are behind the screen, you wouldn't log in and live your second lives, much less the way you do. So buck up and spill your beans.

Julia Collection

2010-03-01T11:42:00.004-07:00

I don't normally get hot and bothered over furniture in Second Life. When I need or want something, I simply make it. But recently I checked out this store I hadn't heard of and wandered about. I saw this epic hot air balloon sitting in front of the store and decided then and there I had to have it. After looking for it in the store I contacted the owner to tell her that I needed to have her damn balloon! She enlightened me and told me it was going to be an upcoming hunt gift starting March first. Well, it's March first. I teleported back to her store quicker than I could think and found the gift. Now, let's just gander shall we?

This wonderful creation if loaded with sit poses for you and all of your friend to hang out in style. Not only can you rez this stylish lounge, but you can rez the second version of it whist interactively flies by pop down menu! How sweet is that. The lounge version is shown above is more prims than the flyable one, but I personally think it's something to make room for at home, even if it doesn't fit your house. I mean, clearly it doesn't match my beach-like not house you see in the background of these photos. Oh, and don't be fooled. Those shadows aren't viewer rendered, nope. Julez of Julia Collection baked them into her sweet hang out.

As if this isn't enough to make you teleport over to Julia Collection, there is yet another hunt gift out that I think you might like. An adorable pint sized and fully furnished little guest house full of charm and yummy textures.

Now, I suggest you Teleport to Julia Collection and enjoy her wonderful generosity.

Efforts for Freedom

2010-02-15T00:08:00.001-07:00

In efforts to save my gifting project, I have launched a small, one time only little shop. It wont last, and it's only got a few items in it which are all brand new and will only be sold now and for this reason. So, feel free to take a gander and support me keeping open my Gift Server, where I give out anything I make free.

My server will be closing on the 18th unless I make enough money to switch to a one time fee server, where I will be able to freely gift everyone without worrying about monthly fees.

Do Your Part

2010-01-29T11:26:00.004-07:00

Earlier this week I ventured over to Aoharu with a friend for some last minute shopping. You know how hard it is to pick and chose when you want everything but can't afford it! Anyways, I wasn't shopping, she was, so I was just tagging along and being nosy. Recently, I have been coming face to face with content theft more than one person ever should, and it has struck me paranoid when in public places. I was tempted to costume out in a library look, but I refrained.

I noticed some guy randomly floating, have dresses with decently made sneakers on. He wasn't very old so it wasn't that odd, until I inspected his shoes. They were Chucks from Maschienwerk, only... not created by the owner of said store. He was alt-camming everyone without range, and then he vanished.

After that, I started being more nosy. I was camming everyone in the join and inspecting them left and right. A handful had on an anti-inspect shield or two. After de-rendering them, my friend and I noticed stolen content from the likes of Maitreya, Bax, Reek, and Grasp among other brands in world. We were racking up snapshots and uploads reporting all of this stolen content to the original creators. I of course warned Machang for the third time in a week about someone stealing or having stolen something of hers.

If that isn't bad enough, I retreated to a place I normally trust. I set up platform in a sandbox meant for educationalist to build and learn in sometime last year. I build there constantly. The sandbox has always been a quiet place unless schools are logged in for virtual classes. I have kept to myself there for months, with friends, quietly building. Until recently. Dozens of people have been flocking to this sandbox and setting up houses. Now, while I have a platform out, two now for the horde of friends I have to build there, I have never set up a house. I leave out only what I need to. These newer folks waltz in, rez stolen houses from popular prefab brands and invite over anyone they can think of. Well, I got to being nosy again, and I have seen more stolen content in the last month than I have ever in my Second Life. Mind you Prudence is not my first account. It's almost horrifying. To thicken the plot though, remember the guy I spoke of two paragraphs up? He who suspiciously loomed over Aoharu and disappeared? Yeah, well at least two of the people frequenting the sandbox I build in about an hour later had on Aoharu vest, MADE BY SAID PERSON. Not to forget, a few days before this I literally caught someone mid air in said sim copying an Aoharu coat prim for prim, probably by an out of game program. I wouldn't know, but that is what got me so aware, and pissed off.

They are a big community, but a small world. What they steal gets around quick, and most of the time you will see one content thief and s/he will be the alt of another. They aren't going to stop anytime soon unless we all put in effort, including Linden Labs. I know you have seen or heard a plethora of people telling you to do your part and be aware, but honestly you are probably thinking "Why do I need to, you are, I can go about my day and shop and do what I do."

You should be aware. You should be aware that every time you are out in public land, you are at risk of having everything you are wearing copied. Every time you blog, you're at risk of aiding a content thief into knowing where a good place to steal from is. Which, is partly why this new blog is not very active.

As much as I hate saying this, you need to stereotype. Content theifs run in packs, and it's a given.

Be aware! Turn transparencies on (Control Alt T) and look for anti-inspect shields. Use Emerald Viewer to de-render shields and inspect what people are wearing, as well as see who may be camming you. However, do NOT yell at people for camming you, we all do it. It does not mean someone is stealing, but at least you should be aware of it. Snapshot and report people wearing stole content. It really is that easy to be proactive about keeping IP rights safe. Do your part.

Ten Smart Tips for a Happy Business.

2010-01-14T15:52:00.003-07:00

10. Sell product you would purchase. If you only shop at high end stores, why would you want to sell something you don't even think if good enough to purchase for yourself? Quality is rarely every valued on a personal level. What Society says goes, and standards are high. So don't complain if you aren't getting business because even you don't like what you sell.

9. Research your competition. Don't dig into someone's idea, but find out what like creators are selling their goods for. Overpriced means no sales and now loyal customer base. Offer fair prices. This also applied to trend. As much as some of us hate trends, they are what sells, like it or not. Your mall, club, or store is competing with every other business on the grid for traffic and sales. Look around at what competition is doing event wise, prices, and buildings alike. It can help you boost your image and sales.

More...

8. Don't color and sell templates. If you use templates to create you product, consider the fact that so does half of the grid. Using templates is a wonderful resource of learning, so use it as one. Don't use it as a fast means of making profit in-world because you'll stall out and make no money. Too many people sell the same template-color-or-made clothing that you do, so step it up a notch and make the template your own. Use resources to create something new out of something over used!

7. Fancy clothes, okay. Fancy everything, not so much. Don't overdo it. Keep your store clean, simple, and fun to be in. Bold colors, clean lines and an easy layout will draw people in to look around your store better than some wild and annoying build. Keep your signs crisp and easy to read. The more rubbish you put on a policy sign, the less likely people will read it or even notice it. Bold is good, simple is better.

6. Take suggestions and advice from your customers, not your friends. Chances are if you make a new build and it looks like baby vomit and blocks, your friend will tell you they like it. A customer or stranger is more likely to tell you how unappealing it is. While some customers are jerks and like to be rude to content owners, most people are intimidated by owners of stores they frequent.

5. Don't use float text, especially if you have a shop at a mall. Yes, people notice it, but it's not good for people to notice your annoying float text through someone else's wall. It's tacky, period.

4. If you aren't a great SL photographer, get someone else to make your vendors. How you present your clothing is how you make money. If the vendors are too cluttered and bright people won't be willing to look at what you are selling. Keep it clean but noticeable. You can always have style in a sleek refined way without compromising your personal image for your shop.

3. Stay organized! Plan before hand! If you own a group, don't change ten times. Research all of your options first, so you know what you can and cannot afford, or what can accommodate your customer base. Keep all of your note cards, information, and group notices formatted and clean. DON'T USE CAPS LOCK. It's cheap, not attention drawing.

2. Don't spam! If you have a group, send only what is important such as store issues like closures and remodels, or of course new releases, sales, events. Forgot to attach a LM? That's fine, send one off. Don't write a novel about your typo, or how you hate yourself, or how your dog shit in your shoe. Too personal with hundreds of people you don't know really isn't good for business. If someone doesn't like you and they let you know, don't send out notices crying to your group. If it's personal, keep it personal. Also, don't leave a scripted prim at your landing point to drop ten things on new comers. If somebody is interested in your store and they want to come back, they will go out of their way to landmark your shop or get one. If they want info on the shop, again, they will find it. Spamming potential customers only makes them leave, and never return.

1. Enjoy what you do. If owning a business become a chore and not a hobby, close up shop and call it a day. If you don't enjoy what you make then you aren't making it for the love of bringing new things to the society of Second Life. Building because you feel obligated means it's about money you are less likely to keep a loyal customer base if you aren't putting passionate effort into your product.

Porcelain Launch

2010-01-01T00:02:00.003-07:00

To launch this blog with style, I am hosting a small photo contest.

The theme of the contest is Porcelain.

Porcelain ~ a strong, vitreous, translucent ceramic material.

I am looking for creative personal portrayals of Porcelain and the beauty this material often resembles. This can be exhibited in so many ways. For example, a porcelain doll photo shoot, use of glass or transparent beauty, ethereal, pristine. You can even turn the tables and aim for a darker theme such as a shoot revolving around a broken doll look. Porcelain is a very refined and delicate ceramic.
It provides a pristine open canvas to be painted on and dolled up.
It is very easily broken, and damaged.

Perceive the theme with your own creativity.
