Fishing Vests

Kabalyero — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:08:05 GMT

I�ve been fishing with 7Seas for a couple of months now, I think, and I�m really enjoying it. I don�t win that much anymore that�s because I don�t join that many contest anymore as well but I still enjoy fishing a lot.

Fishing with 7Seas you�ll be able not only fishes but items as well. Items like fishing shirts, fishing boots, fishing hats, fishing trunks and even fishing earrings. I�ve caught a lot of these items and I�ve put together a fishing outfit from it but something was missing and that something was a fishing vest. [...continue reading Fishing Vests]

NEW @ Dark Eden: Technomancer Bracelets

Etain Peregrine — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:49:58 GMT

The new Technomancer Bracelets are companion pieces to the popular Technomancer Collar sets. Made to fit in with a cyberpunk/dark roleplay environment on the higher edge of fashion than the post apoc wastelanders, these shiny chromed bracelets are replete with electronic displays. So far there are four variants, Slave, Neko, Pet and Mystek. Each comes with wraparound displays along with a top box with a little icon of their status. The bracelets are also fully lockmeister compatable.
In order to let people customize their Technomancer Bracelets as much as possible, I included three color change settings. How this works is you type in a command, for example �/4 metal red� would make the highlight metals change to a red color. The individual commands are �/4 metal (colorname)� �/4 light1 (colorname)� and �/4 light2 colorname� There is a notecard and two textures to help you utilize your color change options.
The Technomancer Bracelets are 100L each.

Trying

Allana Dion — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:19:31 GMT

How am I?
I don't know how I am
How am I supposed to be?
Am I ok?
I think I am but I don't think so
I think it hurts but I don't know where
I know it will stop but I think it won't
I think I've done something terrible
But I think it was the right thing to do
I'm just not sure who it was right for
I think I don't know who did it
I think I know why but I don't
I can't cry but I can't stop
I think I've made an awful mistake
But I can't remember when I made it
Was it my mistake?
Which one was it?
Why was it right?
Or was it?
One leaves easily
The other stays hardly
Where am I supposed to be?
One is doing so much better and I'm sorry
The other is doing so much better and I'm angry
Am I doing better?
I can't tell yet
I can try to breathe
I'll try to breathe again
I'll try until it's better
But don't touch me
Don't want me
Don't feel me
Don't need me
Leave me and let me breathe
But don't leave me alone

------

You need me don't you?
Why?
If you need me
Why don't I know?
Do I need you?
Or do I need me?

--------

He needs me less than I thought
I'm supposed to be glad for that right?

------

Do you know me?
Who do I know?
Do I know me?

Virtual Neko: Kawaii Not?

Virtual Neko — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:11:52 GMT

What does it mean to be a �kawaii� Neko? Most of the time, kawaii is simply translated to mean �cute.� But as Rini Yamada says on MyNippon.com, ��it is much, much more than a fashion statement � Kawaii is a lifestyle and an attitude.� Take a walk on the kawaii side on my Virtual Neko blog�

Value of voice?

Arilynn — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:30:49 GMT

This is a question that I have been wondering about for quite a while. I would post this in the General SL forum, but I am afraid my intentions will be misconstrued. So I would appreciate any feedback provided.

I don't understand the role of voice. All the time I have hearing people tell me they never use voice. They say this often in a manner that seems to indicate disdain or at least strong dislike for voice. Thus my first question: Why? I have had one person explain it to me, but I don't understand really. It seems to me that it would much easier and nuanced than text for most people. I do understand how one would want to avoid voice if it conflicts with your av. But aside from that, I can't understand it.

And part of the reason I can't is because of the a group of related comments lot of people tell me about voice. They say they only use voice with their SL partner as it provides greater intimacy. Or that voice is what allowed them to feel they really know the person behind the av. Or that the use of voice signifies a deeper relationship level than text.

Many individuals have expressed both of these two ideas - being against voice and have voice confer special meaning to a relationship - despite the apparent contradiction. And I wonder about the significance of voice in most SL relationships, even friendships. I have had strangers tell me that without voice, a SL relationship lacks a strong foundation. They say this, I can tell, without realizing I'm Deaf, and I doubt they would do so had they realized for fear of offense. I appreciate courtesy from friends in this regard, but I wonder if these strangers are stating a fundamental truth for most people.

I admit I don't know how much voice is used around me. And I tend to forget it exists, much like I do music, except when it is mentioned in local chat. But I wonder what the real role of voice is in SL and SL relationships.

Jousting Tournament @ ME

Kabalyero — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 04:25:00 GMT

Today, Medieval England (Medevil England Sim) held a Jousting Tournament. The first time I�ve seen jousting in Medieval England was during their I LOVE ME Tournament and it was the second event of the tournament. This time, it�s all about jousting. No archery and no melee fights. Just jousting!

The announcement was sent an hour before the tournament start but surprisingly only a few knights came. I�m guessing that many of them are busy doing various quests like saving a damsel or slaying a dragon. Anyway, the tournament continued as scheduled. I�m not sure about the exact number of participants but I guess it�s around six or eight. [...continue reading Jousting Tournament @ ME]

Dark Century�s New Arena

Kabalyero — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:43:32 GMT

The fourth day of the 100,000L$ Tournament will be held at Dark Century on October 04, 2008 at exactly 12:00PM SLT (Second Life Time). To prepare Dark Century for the event, the owner of the sim, mikeD Streeter, removed the old arena and replaced it with a much bigger and better one.

The new arena is a creation of Marcello Oh and it�s twice as big and twice as dark as the old one. I like the old arena but it was a little bit crowded. The new arena has twice the space of the old. This will give the fighers some freedom to move around and avoid getting hit. Of course, too much running around is not allowed in the tournament but it also doesn�t mean that the fighters can�t move at all. [...continue reading Dark Century�s New Arena]

Delphinus, Hedonism and Nippon

Kabalyero — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:37:01 GMT

Today, since I wasn�t doing anything important, I decided to check out three 7Seas Fishing Areas namely Delphinus Isle, Hedonism and Feudal Nippon. Why? I don�t know, it was a good idea at that time I guess. Ha ha ha!

I started with Delphinus Isle because it was the first link that greeted me when I logged in. They�re having this contest where the prize is not determined by the board but instead the it�s catchable. What is it? It�s a PrimOptic Gift Certificate. Skinny was very lucky to catch one of them. I stayed for a few minutes hoping to catch one too but I had to return to my home to fix something. [...continue reading Delphinus, Hedonism and Nippon]

New Goldfishes

Kabalyero — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:56:55 GMT

7Seas Fishing Game recently released their new set of fish and this set is composed of various Goldfishes. I�m not much of a fish collector but I do like catching something new from time to time so this new set is a very welcome addition. The goldfishes are really cute so I�m sure many girly, girly avatars will fall inlove with them, LOL!

The set includes three common goldfishes, two uncommon goldfishes, three rare goldfishes and one superultrarare goldfish. You�ll notice that there�s no ultrarare goldfish. Why? I don�t know but I guess they ran out of ideas for an ultrarare one. LOL! Anyway, the ones they released are already very good so I�m sure no one will complain about not having an ultrarare one in the set. [...continue reading New Goldfishes]

Auto Fishing HUD or Trainer

Kabalyero — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:20:38 GMT

I logged in today in Second Life to be greeted by a 7Seas Social Chat group discussion about fishing bots. The exchange of thought was surprising and it seems that most, if not all, are against the use of this fishing bot. I know sooner or later someone would come up with something like a fishing bot since fishing marathons are becoming a very common thing with 7Seas Fishing Game. In fact, I also run a daily fishing marathon at my place. Before, I would start the prize pot at 100L$ but I got broke so I had to changed it to an Open Prize Pot fishing marathon that is, if someone donates to the pot then the participants will get some prize money at the end. Of course, no one hardly donates so most fishers don�t fish at my marathon anymore except when there�s a substantial amount of linden dollars in the prize pot.

Back to the fishing bot, after I logged off I immediately searched for this so called fishing bot and eventually I found it at SLExchange. The bot is actually an auto-fishing HUD called Fishing Helper HUD. Wow! Fishing Helper? I guess fishing is so hard for some people that they need a HUD to help them fish. Ha ha ha! This particular HUD will not work with the standard Second Life viewer. Nope! It needs an alternative Second Life viewer namely the RestrainedLife SL Viewer. Eversince Linden Labs made the viewer open source alternative viewers have surfaced and the RestrainedLife viewer is one of them. [...continue reading Auto Fishing HUD or Trainer]

A Look at Jabberwock

Kabalyero — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:16:05 GMT

Today, I had the time to check out Jabberwock. Jabberwock is a pirate themed sim and it's not just one sim, it is made of 5 interconnected sims. That means, if you are a sea lover, you'll get to enjoy more ocean space for sailing and sea battles. Jabberwock or Pirates of Jabberwock is owned by Antigua Jewell.

I landed at the docks near a tavern named Calico Jack's. I'm not a pirate expert but according to Wikipedia Calico Jack "was an English pirate captain during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the calico clothing he wore." I guess it's a fitting name for a tavern. In the tavern were three people but I can only remember the names of Kurt Jiagu and Antigua Jewell. Kurt Jiagu was busy talking to another visitor of the sim. All three of them left afterwards but I was able to ask permission to look around the sim.
