Guidelines for Second Life

Quite some time ago already, I made a notecard in Second Life with some guidelines for newcomers to Second Life. I was reminded of it when I came across this video by someone known in Second Life as Strawberry Singh. It inspired me to make this blog post in which I share my guidelines. Some of these rules may seem amusing and some of them may apply only to Virtual Ability and similar groups.

I wonder how much Strawberry and I have in common.

Here goes!

Vulcan Viper's SL Guidelines

• Buy cheap enough, or make it yourself.
• Casually mentioning what you need, might get you it for free.
• Don't be the first one to go off-topic in a meeting.
• Don't lend anyone money, unless you can afford not to see it back.
• Don't tell people what you need them not to know.
• Don't trust anyone who is too busy showing himself off.
• Everything you hear in a meeting is confidential, unless the boss says otherwise.
• First the money, then the party.
• If you can do something better or cheaper than others, you've got a business.
• Remember what someone is good at.
• Report a griefer silently.
• To acquire a skill, the only things you need are information and practice.
• Don't correct someone's wording, unless there's evidence to suggest it's misunderstood.
• If you win something you like by an incorrect judgment, and no one objects, then keep quiet.
• If there's a worrying situation, then don't describe it in group chat.
