Being ignored

Anyone who has worked as a greeter or as security or in some way that puts one in the position of talking to folks newly arrived at a location probably knows that a lot of ignoring happens. Such has been the lot at the Isle of Lesbos for the many years I've stood, sat, or danced (or done other things *blush*) at the region entrance. My usual "Welcome to Lesbos, [name here]!" and a wave is ignored more often than not. In fact, quite a few girls pop in, stand for a moment, and leave, without any indication that they've actually been to the Isle.

Caitlin O'Poultry of Galway waiting to be ignored at Lesbos. At least the cat talks to me.

Just tonight, though, a thought occurred to me ... "What if someone is replying, but in Voice, and hasn't noticed that I don't have the Ghostly Dot of Verbosity over my head?" A girl had popped in and immediately started to wander about so I guessed she had a pulse and an un-interrupted Interwebs connection. When I greeted her she did stop and turn her avatar toward me, reasonably obvious sign she knew I had "said" something. But then nothing. No typing animation, no Instant Message, no chat text for a couple minutes before she walked a hundred or so meters to the beach and left the region.

/me sighs and wonders if she should leave Voice on though she doesn't use it 99.9% of the time, even in large groups such as the Isle's wonderful events.

New Avatar: MummiFur from Lost Furrest

Look at what I picked up at Rocket City Fur Meet! This avie soooo rocks! The detailing and textures are superior making this one of the best produced avatars I've seen. Full copy/mod, too, so the user can add thier own creative touches. For example, I changed the eye color and added 'glow' to it as a start. I'm thinking of giving it some faux Ancient Egyptian jewelry, like a pharonic cat.

Actually, my first mod was to remove the BlaBlaBla animation and voice script from the lower jaw. With those in place the avie stopped "typing" during chat and instead waved about drunkenly the way those that have Voice gestures (Web) activated move.

There is no Animation Override (AO) but if I let my sub collar replace part of the neck wrappings I can activate the Zombie AO so that I can stumble around, arms stretched forward like the zombies you see in cartoons.

Of course, Lost Furest always has nice stuff. The Lost Crypt collection my Mummifur avie came from looks very impressive. Click this picture for a closer look or just visit the store (SLurl).
