Stroker Strikes Back - p8

Farmville and Chefville. They each have that crea ve
candy bar for the brain appeal, but are also compe ng
for that limited amount of me that we as families and
responsible real life beings have to spend online.
In our li le micro chasm – our li le huddled corner of
the web, it's important that our task masters (LL) are
responsive and protec ve. That was always my
perspec ve. The me we have online today is very
precious to us, whether it's a lot or it's minimal. LL has
a responsibility from a customer service perspec ve
alone, to make sure that the me we grant them is a
wonderful experience, is honored and cherished.
NVM: In closing, what are the top three things you
want readers to take away with them from this ar cle?
STROKER: Support your local content creator!!! We
do what we do because we love it but it also doesn't
pay the bills unless we're compensated in-kind. If the
bills aren't paid, we can't keep crea ng content.
Respect!!! There doesn't seem to be enough respect
for the person behind the keyboard in SL. I think that a

lot of us wield anonymity like a weapon or a tool for our
own pleasure and that anonymity is a double edged
sword.
Collabora on!!! Don't treat everyone like a
compe tor. SL could be gone tomorrow and what are
we stuck with? A bunch of LSL scrip ng that wouldn't
get us 50 cents on Ebay, so take the me to get to know
whose work you admire. Drop them an IM and let
them know that you find them an inspira on in your
work and ask if you can get together over a cup of tea to
compare notes. You don't have to share trade secrets,
just find the common ground.
Fer lize those
communi es. All boats rise with the de and that's
been the same since day one of SL.
Tango for example – she created a market where there
was no market as did Breedables and Gatcha. Think
outside of the box, find new and original ideas. That's
what people gravitate toward. Let's face it, we all have
4, 5 or 6 sex beds and 30+ hairstyles, but we tend to
only use the one we like the best. If you just want to be
that choice, that's fine – but if you want to be that
obsession, that's a whole different ball game!
