Idea: Virtual Mer-Meet (Secondlife)

[Mermaid Oshun]

Caltuna save the TP I gave you. You are welcome to use that place whenever you're online. Saku you too!
Since I am married in real life, I can't make much use of a second life pad so it's best it does not go to waste.

[Echidna]

hm, what do you mean with pad? some adult anims?

I don't really care for those.
Love dances though, especially artistic ones.
Ballet, Flamenco, waterballet (aka merdances)...could watch them all night!

Maybe someone in touch with the managers of SWF can ask whether the mercouple balls in front of the ruins shouldn't be positioned a bit (a good bit, actually!) higher into the air.
They are now lying on the ground, and each time the couple dives down (second dive), they completely submerge under the sand ground lol.


^^
It happens after the third pic (the lower small one), you can already guess that dive won't end well xD

[Mermaid Oshun]

I see youre going to always take everything south caltuna
Actually what I meant was when I was going through my last divorce I had a sl husband before I got married again in real life. In retrospect, that actually helped me to get through the drudgery of a divorcing my first rl husband after 20 years of marriage.
But no cyber dating or anything of the sort for me this time since Im married again in real life.

PS I like the wigs that you and that girl are wearing.

[Echidna]

Well, if someone keeps mentioning they can't do XYZ because they're married- even if it's just a completely normal gathering/dance organized by the mersim club-, what am I to think?
Clicking on a dancefloor isn't cyberdating. There are single dances too

Didn't mean to diss your offer though, it's very generous!

[Merman Dan]

Even in SL, I wear a wedding band.

[Meemerdd]

I might try SL, but, I have no experience with such things. XD

[Echidna]

This wednesday, there is another big merdance upcoming, don't miss out!
I believe it's in the afternoon, sadly that means I won't be able to attend.

But I found a mer waterballet group in SL and promptly joined, so now I can dance wherever I want without the need to be in a special place




That's me and two of the other members practicing some choreos.

Oh, and I think Lotus joined SL and came by in the location of the next Merdance.
Sorry I didn't respond to your warm greeting, I was afk, baaad habit of mine

[Mermaid Allie]

Hmm this is interesting... Wish I had time but none at all in between ap courses, sat prep and skating does this website give your computer any viruses at all? It would be cool to try but I'm super protective of my computer lolol

[Echidna]

So, the merdance in the wellspring was awesome!
Glad I could make it (I suck at understanding the SL time, lol.)

There even was a merjelly there:


We had some impromptu trio swimming afterward, because our colours matched so well:


@Allie, it would be nice to see you in-world.
If you have reasonable virus protection and firewall, you should be ok, but scan more often to be sure.

You're skating? That's awesome!
I used to as well, but I've never been very good, I can skate forwards, backwards, and do a very slow pirouette, that's it lol.
But I have some really cool skate moves on my avatar, hehe, even physically impossible ones

[MermaidSaku]

Haven of Mermaids? I love that sim!!! XD

[SeaGlass Siren]

I still can't seem to open up the program.. Maybe my computer is outdated? Help!

[Echidna]

If your screen remains black after starting, it's most likely your graphics card cannot handle SL.
Check the requirements on the main website, you should find all info there.



Three more merdances since yesterday, and countless more of the legged variety.
I had no idea the SL community was so lively and thriving.
Very glad I returned

[SeaGlass Siren]

It's wierd it doesn't even open after I click on it.. It kinda ignores my command it doesn't even go black..
Perhaps it's time to get a new computer..

[Miyu]

I'm trying to convince the BF that it's okay for me to go on SL, it's not ALL sexy tiemz on there anymore, I just want to dance with all the lovely mers! It's *almost* like actually having a social life, right?

[Echidna]

Hehe
I don't go out irl either...never have (don't drink alcohol, and apparently it's all about that ).
And no, not all is pixelpr0n in SL unless you go and look for it.

Sadly, my internet was broken the day before yesterday, and since then, it randomly disconnects me every few minutes or even seconds.
I cannot stay logged into any platform or game :/
even posting here is difficult.

I really miss the mer parties!

[Miyu]

Haha yeah, my alcohol drinking is mostly limited to a little while camping or when hanging out with pirates, LOL. But, even if I did drink, I kind of live in a place where there's not much to do except tend to your fields and make things out of all the wood that grows in abundance here I used to live in Denver, CO, where at least there was things to do that didn't involve drinking, and were also mostly free as well... So I'm very lonely now, and I'd like to mer-club it up haha!

I think, if I can convince him that it's going to be safe and PG and I'm not going to fall madly in love with some random person and all, that the main issue will be bandwidth... Like I said, we're in the boonies, and our house is at the tail end of the internet... line... thingie. So I guess we have the slowest internet in our area, haha. The BF plays MMOs all day (no, really, all day I'm not exaggerating), and I'm worried I'll make him lag, and he gets like... REALLY upset when he lags. One day, I uploaded some large pics to my tailmaker, and his character died, and you would have thought I lost him his job or something! O.O;

[Meemerdd]

It's always a little slower in the middle of no where! (And not within walking distance of ANYTHING.)

But SL stands for SOCIAL Life. :P not really


I can't figure SL out. but the stuff I'm having trouble no tutorial aactually explains, it's really annoying. I can't go anywhere, because I have to change settings I can't find. I can't seem to find a place I can red. I want to put together a tail, of sorts, and unbox my mermaid AO. (As much as I like boxes inside my arm, it doesn't really help.

[Echidna]

Oh, I can relate, Moonlight!
I live in the middle of nowhere, too.
I usually don't mind, but having to drive an hour to get to a pool, or a doctor, or anything, is annoying...and it can get lonely, which is why I love SL parties lol.

One day, I uploaded some large pics to my tailmaker, and his character died, and you would have thought I lost him his job or something! O.O;

Haha, I can relate to that as well!
I used to play wow a lot, and especially in the beginning, it was srs bsns
Also, when you are grouped with others, they kinda rely on you, so if your BF was tanking or healing a dungeon or raid, his char lagging and dying could lead to an entire 24 other people dying (called a "wipe"), and that costs them all gold for repairs, and time in RL, so don't diss them too much for getting upset xD

lol.
When you click the item and "wear" it, and it still isn't unboxed, you will hold the box in your hand/arm.
Right-Click the box again and choose "edit".
In the Edit menu that comes up, open the "Content"-Tab.
You will now see what the box contains (usually your stuff, and some notecards/scripts and such).
Choose the stuff you want to unpack, and drag n drop it to your inventory.

You can also just click the box while wearing it, and get a window asking whether to copy to inventory and/or wear it, then just choose yes and there ya go.

[Mermaid Jessica]

I cannot figure out Second Life either ]:

[Miyu]

Caltuna: LOL yeah, I totally understand him wiping a whole group... It already happens sometimes when we get really bad lag just because, and he's also a prominent figure in his guild (and usually their main tank), so I totally get it. The day he freaked out was actually during the day while he was playing alone. He's just been grumpy because we ran out of food stamps so he's been out of soda for a week :P He drinks nothing but Cherry Coke, so he gets just a wee bit cranky without it LOL... And I understand, he's also lagged me so bad the whole internet froze while I'm trying to upload video and we had to reset the router...

What time do Mer-dances usually happen? Serious raiding doesn't happen over here until later at night, it's a night owl guild.
