Secondlife

[Anthony]

uhhhhh...this sounds INCREDIBLY FUCKING AWESOME. did someone already post this, how is this not popular and how come i haven't heard of it before:

Second Life (http://secondlife.com/)

[Pumpy Tudors]

It's actually very popular, although I've never tried it. There are various reasons that I don't want to get involved with it, but if enough FOFC people wanted to play together, that would probably get me started.

[Anthony]

i'm still reading everything you can do with it. it's immense. and free.

obvious there are some premium modes that allow you to do more, but this seems to be so huge of a game. insane.

[MikeVic]

I hate giving my payment information "for verification"...

[Anthony]

I hate giving my payment information "for verification"...

yeah, ditto. i'm giving my Paypal info instead of CC info.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I like the general concept of it. Judging from what I've heard, though, the place has an unimaginable number of cliques and factions, and some of them actually have quite a bit of power. I know some people around here think that SkyDog is a little touchy on the "penalty box button." Generally, what I've heard is that the powerful people at Second Life are quicker on a button than Ken Jennings (the guy who won on Jeopardy! all those times).

To everybody who's thinking about trying this, just keep in mind that you may be asked to "behave" even if you feel that you've done absolutely nothing wrong. All it takes is a complaint from one person from a certain group, and you might be in trouble.

Again, this is just what I've heard from several people.

[rkmsuf]

Secondlife? I barely have time for Firstlife.

[Anthony]

hmmmm...i think i'll hold off then until i hear more info on this, or until my friends join.

[Desnudo]

Secondlife? I barely have time for Firstlife.

I heard on Secondlife, Enrique Iglesias has a normal sized wang.

[sachmo71]

And the best part is, you can find out for yourself!

SEE?! You can play as naked STeven King, as well! WHOOT!

[rkmsuf]

then this just isn't realistic. it needs a patch.

[Desnudo]

http://i.somethingawful.com/cliff/ihateyou/page-237/image-5.jpg

Damn HA, no offense, but maybe you should sign up for this Second Life thing.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Ugh. That picture reminds me of another type of group on Second Life (although I don't think they have very much power).

[Anthony]

i see a cute little nipple in this pic. btw - is that a stuffed llama? if it is i'm going to laugh some more.

so who's gonna be the guinea pig for this Secondlife thing?

[gottimd]

then this just isn't realistic. it needs a patch.
The patch needs to include the ability to be a werewolf. A werewolf that can drive.

[Anthony]

Ugh. That picture reminds me of another type of group on Second Life (although I don't think they have very much power).

if you're telling me there's an outbreak of overally affectionate shirtless mutants who cradle stuffed llamas then i'm so in this thing.

tell me everything you know about Secondlife. i'm intrigued by hardcore things, and something tells me there's this whole underworld of people doing this. i hate not being in the know.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I ain't gonna shit on what people do with their private time, but I'll give you one word:

Furries.

[gottimd]

I wonder if it is possible to create your character as some sort of violent murderer. I mean is the whole game just a a big civilized society where there is no crime, no violence, and everybody gets along?

[rkmsuf]

The patch needs to include the ability to be a werewolf. A werewolf that can drive.

now we are getting somewhere

[gottimd]

I would think about joining if you could create some sort of mafia and take over the game.

[rkmsuf]

I'd do it if I could be a rapper like K-Fed.

[gottimd]

I'd do it if I could be a rapper like K-Fed.
I would murder your character first.

[rkmsuf]

I would murder your character first.

I send Dr. Dre to have sex with you first.

[Anthony]

:confused:

[MikeVic]

If you could do absolutely ANYTHING, I'd play to piss people off and maybe kill them. But if it's just chatting... eh.

[gottimd]

I send Dr. Dre to have sex with you first.
I would almost kill him, leave him hanging on a thread, then kill your character, and return to kill Dr. Dre.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I've already said too much.

[rkmsuf]

I would almost kill him, leave him hanging on a thread, then kill your character, and return to kill Dr. Dre.

but you'd have to live with the fact that Dr. Dre did you in the butt first.

[gottimd]

If you could do absolutely ANYTHING, I'd play to piss people off and maybe kill them. But if it's just chatting... eh.Exactly. Like rob all of the rich people. Or be that annoying neighbor. Or try an entice women into extramarrital affairs. Or vandalize other peoples stuff. I mean, come on, its not real life.

[Pumpy Tudors]

If you could do absolutely ANYTHING, I'd play to piss people off and maybe kill them. But if it's just chatting... eh.
Well, people can't "die" in the game, so the killing is out. As far as pissing people off, that will get you banned.

[gottimd]

but you'd have to live with the fact that Dr. Dre did you in the butt first.
My character would be "anus-less" and razor sharp teeth.

[rkmsuf]

so there's no pooping in the game? gots to have feces.

[gottimd]

Well, people can't "die" in the game, so the killing is out. As far as pissing people off, that will get you banned.
So if people don't die, wouldn't it become over crowded. And doesn't over crowding cause violence in most cases?

[gottimd]

so there's no pooping in the game? gots to have feces.
Colostomy bags.

[Pumpy Tudors]

So if people don't die, wouldn't it become over crowded. And doesn't over crowding cause violence in most cases?
I would imagine that all the banning takes care of that.

[rkmsuf]

I want to be a Wookie.

[gottimd]

I would imagine that all the banning takes care of that.
I would do as much as I could to skate on the line of banning to make the game interesting.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I would do as much as I could to skate on the line of banning to make the game interesting.
If you decide to try it, good luck with that.

[gottimd]

If you decide to try it, good luck with that.
Thanks for the good luck, can I get any Best wishes with that as well?

[Anthony]

ugh, everyone wants to create Utopia. i just want a place that tries to be like real life but lets you do things you wouldn't try in real life. like grope the saggy breasts of old ladies in public or pee on homeless people. where are *my* outlets??

[Anthony]

i want a game that's like Grand Theft Auto, but is a MMORPG. i want to digitally walk into a kindergarden classroom and start slapping digital 5 year olds. i swear, i can't stand nerds. it's those people who want to take over digital universes and exert their control so that they can't get attacked by us "cools". i just want to kill people and punch random strangers in the face and run away and not get into trouble. this sucks. now that's my ideal Secondlife. my first life is a law abiding, tax paying citizen. i want an alter-ego.

Now that would be a game! Second life sounds too boring. Ya gotta spice it up and throw in some hardcore stuff. So many possibilities to HA's version of second life.

[MikeVic]

I agree.

[albionmoonlight]

Sounds like someone should invent HardCoreSecondLife.

[Anthony]

in my version of second life, i wouldn't wear pants. i'd log into message boards and post NSFW pics, i'd even go so far as to not "hxxp" NSFW links. i'd roll with a big posse and kick people off their seats on the train. i want to toss rocks over highway overpasses and see if i can hit the windshields of cars.

i'm tired of playing by the rules, i want a game that simulates a world without order.

[MikeVic]

i'd even go so far as to not "hxxp" NSFW links.

No no no, that's just crazy talk!

[gottimd]

i'd even go so far as to not "hxxp" NSFW links.
:eek: You wouldn't....would you?:D

[JonInMiddleGA]

So basically Front Office France 2k5?

:D

[albionmoonlight]

Let's think this through a little bit. If this is a MMORPG where the hook is that you get to be a total bad-ass and mess with people, with whom would you mess?

Dropping rocks on cars is fun, but not if everyone on the game is standing on a bridge with a rock and no one is driving. Who would choose to play the defensless neighbor that people kick in the nuts on a regular basis?

Wouldn't the game just devolve into people walking around trying to stab and shoot each other? There would be no order against which to react. Being anti-social is only fun if there is a social to anti.

[gottimd]

I bet you this idea has been thought of and actually put into design stage, but the sad thing is, is that the game would probably be blamed for so many murders/deaths/acts of violence. They should make the game with tons of disclaimers.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Who would choose to play the defensless neighbor that people kick in the nuts on a regular basis?

NPC's.

[rkmsuf]

anything that involves kicking someone, anyone, in the nuts is a winner

[gottimd]

Well the universe would have simulated characters as well, that go about their daily life that the computer controls and as they die, they are replenished as well. And each has their own temper/morals/violence threshold as well. That way, if you continously attack/murder/rape/grope innocent bystanders, you may get to a simulated character that was like the Michael Douglas character in that movie I am drawing a blank on the title now.

[albionmoonlight]

Ah, I didn't realize that there were non-human characters in these games.

[JeeberD]

[gottimd]

Thanks Jeeber!

That way you can't get your jollies all the time on the sim characters. Sometimes they will fight back and maybe even kill you randomly.

[Raiders Army]

Falling Down is an awesome movie.

you would get the benefits of being a law abiding citizen. you stay out of jail you get a good job, a good salary to afford the nicer things in life. Stay in school, graduate your avatar unlocks "creativity" bonuses, like being able to customize your appearance so you look like Johnny Good Guy. you get to own property. you get to walk into stores and not be escorted out. you could fly on airplanes to travel aroun the sim world because you wouldn't be on a list.

HardcoreSecondLife (nice name, albion) just has an avenue for people who want to operate outside of those benefits. your character wouldn't ever be able to have a job, make money legally. perhaps the only way that an anti-social person could be reindoctrinated back into society would be to do "good citizen quests". go to a "good citizen NPC" and get your good citizen meter back up. everytime you do something good you unlock more and more of the things that the good citizens have. in order to keep certain objects you have to maintain a certain level of "goodness" on your good citizen meter. once you start doing bad things your meter goes down: you wouldn't want to be wanted by the police because you couldn't ever walk into the bank to get your money, you'd be spotted. so then you'd be forced to keep your money on you at all times and you run the risk of being jacked by other anti-socials.

those are just some ideas. i want to play HardcoreSecondLife now.

[Pumpy Tudors]

If you pretty much keep to your own area of the "world" in Second Life, you probably won't get banned. The thing is that you'll need other people to be the "targets" of your actions, and that's where things get sticky.

[JeeberD]

So then we all need to sign up so that we can kick the shit out of each other, right?

[Anthony]

i think Pumpy was really into Secondlife and got banned when he digitally started posting too many pics of himself and annoyed one of the "uber nerd groups".

[rkmsuf]

And they are still after him since he's reluctant to say to much about the whole thing.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Darn. You guys got me.

[gottimd]

They found out where he lived and that is why he moved to PA.

[Anthony]

their uber nerd powers extend even into the real world.

[Huckleberry]

I agree with HA on the other options. You could also set up the role/job of police officer to be available to human players. Arresting and sending to trial those engaged in criminal behavior could lead to higher pay, promotions, bonuses, etc.

Because nobody would want to waste time on a jury, those would be computer players. But there are probably people out there diseased enough to want to be attorneys. Or instead of a jury it could be open to a vote. 12 random players "living" in the area are required to vote and are sent a summary of the trial information.

There are ways around it. I would lean to staying clean in such a game. The organized crime elements would be huge, though. New players that want to take a risk for connections and quick buck would be doing the illegal grunt work.

[gottimd]

This game has so much potential.

So could you choose to be a professional athlete as well? I for one would want to be in the criminal atmosphere, and hanging out with the CHUDS.

[Anthony]

awesome idea about being police. i hadn't thought of that and actually would consider going over to the Good Side to be able to be a bounty hunter.

everyone loves bounty hunters.

my friend and i had sketched a B movie together (that we may or may not make one day) and the big climatic line in the movie would be "Oh My God - Troy is an intergalactic bounty hunter?!?". oh man...we had so much fun using our "we're making a B movie and wanted to know if you girls would be in the movie" routine in bars. you wouldn't believe how many numbers we got this one time, it was like casting a net into the sea and pulling out many fish. we were gonna have a dog named Foamie who, you guessed it - foamed at the mouth - in the movie. i have to nudge him and complete this project.

[albionmoonlight]

You could also commit crimes and frame your enemies for them.

[Anthony]

my nipples have hardened at the thought of this dastardly action. you see, you have a little bit of rule breakin' anti-socialness in you too.

THIS GAME SOUNDS AWESOME!!!1! excellent. :cool:

[Anthony]

"This game contains violence, sex, politically incorrect behavior, blasphemy, and lots of other things which are not acceptable to many people. This game allows you to bring out your darker side, but it also allows the same for other players! So don't play if you are offended by any of these issues, don't play if you can't swallow what you dish out yourself, don't play if you are one of the people who yell "grief" and "banning" every time someone steals your belongings after a KO."

i have found my home.

[Airhog]

I would play that if it didnt cost 9bucks a month

[Anthony]

Somehow I missed this... well.. not too deep.. not into any of the BDSM things, but my character is in a gang, and is a full fledged PC.. recently got sentenced to jail for assault.. :)

[Anthony]

i swear, this thread is one of my all-time FOFC favorites.

[Airhog]

if this game didnt cost money to play, I would definately join it

[Anthony]

apparently that new MMORPG game APB has stolen my idea.
