Speaking of landing points, I think my next #OpenSim and #SecondLife how-to will explain how to find a party on a sim if it isn’t right before your eyes.
This happens way too often: I’m at a party somewhere on a sim that isn’t in the immediate vicinity of the landing point. Someone teleports in with no coordinates given, so they land at the landing point. They keep standing at the landing point for a few minutes, then they teleport back out.
As if they were looking for a party, then they teleported to a sim with lots of avatars on it, and then they couldn’t cope with not having the party right in front of their nose.
As if they were unable to find a bunch of avatars on the map. As if taking a look at the map went beyond their imagination, and getting to where all those green dots are without a big teleporter in front of them labelled “Click here to get to the party” proved to be a Herculean task.
And I’m not even talking about newbies. I’m talking about avatars that are several years old.
That is, I might first have to write a tutorial on how to use the map to navigate.
@jupiter_rowland I usually hang at the landing spot and survey the situation via radar. More often than not I will decide that discretion is the better part of Valor and move along. Had fun at the jazz fest though. That was a nice crowd:)
@Hyacinth 🏳️⚧️ ☮️ I guess that’s better than those who come to one of our parties, greet everyone, hang out for five minutes, discover that they are, in fact, not on an American sim because people don’t speak English all the time and then teleport out without even saying farewell.
