I could write a lot on this topic, but Lucyloo’s first three paragraphs cover a lot of it. Who am I kidding, I always have something more to say.

DE will always mean a lot to me and I feel like I did it all there. Mostly importantly; my closet Second Life friends, all of whom I am still in regular contact with today, were all met there. I…[Read more]

Hi Lyss,

Sim biz leaders can rez temporary items for events and such, no worries. For more permanent ideas or solutions we generally enact these for the leaders (within the realm of reason and merit – we wouldn’t want to be updating them every other day).

We generally tend to the sim businesses A) To placate our own OCD tendencies when it comes…[Read more]

Let me preface my input by stating that (thanks to a glorious and long summer – in my part of the world, holidays and a hectic work schedule – possibly as a result of those holidays…) I’ve had zero involvement in this plot and negligible input in or around sim for a little while now; nothing I have to say is the fruit of feeling personally…[Read more]

As to why the RLD is adult zoned but has a SL age requirement – we found that the RLD was attracting a massive quantity of new SLers (even after removing keywords from search and etc) and unfortunately most of them weren’t interested in actually Roleplaying or following sim rules. It also seemed to be a bit of a griefer target.

This is a “Nadir required” issue and he is aware and already on it; to be sure I’ve given him a little reminder. Of course, in this instance, if he hasn’t personally been able to replicate the issue then it will be a little more difficult (take longer) to fix.

DEPD members can only delete reports/files that they themselves have created. In doing so they have to provide a reason for deletion.

As a further safety net “deleted” reports will disappear but not truly be deleted – meaning that if they were deleted (be it on accident or maliciously) they could be restored.

Tue, 07 Oct 2014 09:07:08 +0000

A “Roleplay Chat” group actually is a good idea – the only problem is that it’s a group, or rather ANOTHER group. In Dead End alone you can end up with 10 odd groups depending on how many pies your character has their finger in, or if you’re staff etc. Let alone if you play in more than just Dead End.

It’d also be voluntary sign up, as with the…[Read more]

I expect people RPing an EMT to be fully qualified and hold at least a bachelors degree in some field of medical science, in real life that is. I expect the DE Lawyers to have obtained a degree and to have, at very least, clerked in a district court in real life.

Oh and I do agree with Espi, for the longest times one of the greatest points of difference in the DE build has been the little, prim sucking details. Those little things are what give the city a sense of realism (as much as a place like DE can be “realistic”) and give it some actual life.

Hi Ruki,

To address a few minor points here: The rest of Dead End should be made to be as sexy and efficient as the OOC area, the city build should be upgraded! Since Nadir and I first built the city (on the current sim, anyway) in 2009 the city has been altered or updated in some shape or form at least every year, minimum. Bear in mind that…[Read more]

There are a few points to be made here:

We preach and request that people, sim-wide, be realistic, accept realities that they can not see – such as the fact the hospital is a bustling place, staffed 24/7 – even when not a blip can be seen on your SL radar. We can’t have a floor that just ignores that. “What about an abandoned ward?” Etc, well…[Read more]

There is actually a big new location being added to the sewers that could work well for this. Failing that you could get in bed with the Hedonist, they have quite a large basement. The train yards as Shade has said, although whilst there is a lot of space I don’t know if there is enough open space, if that makes any sense.

Ok, so Dead End has been around for some years now and for most of it’s life has never had actual camera props in the vast majority of it’s buildings.
