Second Life Noob Classifications
Ever wondered to yourself if you were a noob? Let's start. (Note that these are all real example of Second Life players. I am currently taking these screenshots directly from the client.)
1. Groups/affiliation.
30% of who you are is affected by those who you affiliate with. If your group list looks something like this -
- you're probably a noob. This includes all groups with the words "crazy", "retard", or "pimp", as well as all groups that include a Tilda, exclamation point, asterisk, ampersand, more than/less than signs, or carets.
2. Typing/grammar.
Probably one of the stupidest things to do is introduce yourself to the world of Second Life with this kind of typing.
[19:21] ******** ******: i appolgised we hade a haa haa and he still has some grudes agenst me but im cool
I am 94% sure that is Russian.
3. Skills.
It's okay not to have any skills. But it's easy to get them. If you come into Second Life ready and willing to learn a new skill, I applaud your attitude. If you come into Second Life and use the excuse "im tired" for anything you can't do -
[19:16] Sean Marsi: Why can't you spell? [19:16] Sean Marsi: Or type correctly? [19:16] ******** ******: im sleepy
- and have no intention of learning how, why come into Second Life in the first place?
4. (And last.) Exaggerating technical skills.
As I said before, it's fine if you don't have a lot of skills. But please, please, don't pretend you do.
[19:25] ******** ******: i know ur IP number i can tell it to u right now [19:25] ******** ******: 32647486527047 [19:25] Sean Marsi: Ummm [19:26] Sean Marsi: That's not even a valid IP address [19:26] ******** ******: ya it is
Go ahead and look that up on DNS. See how many URLs you get.
That concludes my four main classifications of a noob. These are OPINIONS ONLY. Feel free to argue. I really don't care.
