Few years ago when I was in Arcane Coven (A great coven by the way to this day!) I came up with the idea for a newspaper geared around the coven plus VR. I had the honor to have one of the Admins here on VR to contribute a article for this paper. I would like to share this again with the community here. I hope those who read this take away from it the wise words of this Lady and VR becomes a place of fun and enjoyment for you:
New Features, Laughs and Monkey Butts.
BY MooniePie
Over the years, Cancer has popped spiffy features onto VR. I think the ones that have caused the most controversy were 'What are they doing', 'Honor' and the 'Society System'. When the feature first rolled out it was constant complaining about the violation of rights, the abuse of honor and being forcefully inducted. But now when you look around there isn't a word to be heard on these features. They have just faded into the background like things tend to do.
Since quite a few of the older members have ventured off into different ways, new people are thrown right into the Society system. There isn't a before for them. So as soon as they sign up, they know about the system. There they begin the decent into being stalked like prey. I've found the feeling akin to the movie Silence of the Lambs. That part when when Buffalo Bill stalks the girl and has her help him to put the chair into the van. Then BAM you're suddenly down in a creepy basement pit with some dude tucking his bits and wearing lipstick and people's skin. Yup, just like the Society System.
I never understood the fight about 'What are they doing'. It became this huge fight about rights and privacy. Since VR is a Cancer-tater-ship that point is null and void, but it was still a fight! People were throwing around words and getting more bent then they already were. And I'm sure the term 'if you're not for us, you're against us' was thrown around a few times. It wasn't like anyone was looking through your home trying to catch you watching some creepy internet lovemaking on freakfetishest and eating cheetos out of your hair. Unless you're doing shitty things, then there wasn't really a point in getting pissy.
And then the honor. I'm sure many remember the arguments about the honor. It wasn't fair, blah blah, people shouldn't be able to do that, blah blah. Etc. Etc. There were a few valid points that people mad; trolls will use it to post mean thing and the other was people will abuse it. The funny thing, those who complained the loudest about it are the ones who do exactly what they were complaining about it.
People will complain about trivial things and people will use features they way they want to use them.
-slow clap for people who complain and then use it the exact way they were bitchin' about-
One of my favorite features that Cancer introduced was Webcams. Even though it isn't used much now, in the beginning it was damn fun. There have been a few times I've been traumatized when opening the cam page. The times when someone decides it's okay to share their trouser snake, or flip a nip out was few, but it happened. After seeing a few of those things, I have to say that some people are brave. They know the cam is public and yet.. BAM say hello to my little friend. And out comes the lil meat mallot just there it is not being impressive. Really, why?! WHY!?!
I digress...
Back on track, there were a few moments that happened in cams I will never forget.
Cancer and I got into a photoshop war in my webcam one evening. Moments of hilarity ensued when people were swapped with monkeys and Cancer was accused of monkey love. (Example) My webcam picture was being changed between pictures of mind curdling things like a donkey that was very happy in his donkey parts to Cancer slippin' the good 'ol bananna to a fine and frisky female monkey.
And then the other time. I stole Cancer's avatar. He's very protective of that avatar. So being the smart ass that I am, I had to 'stick it to the man'. Just like with the webcams we kept changing my avatar. He'd change it, I'd change it back. This went on for a bit. Then he whipped out the big. That effer wrote a code specific to my profile so I couldn't change my avatar after I changed it. And then.. do you know what else that effer did? He took his ass to dinner and left the code on my profile for a damn day. He left me a profile that had an avatar that rotated between some scary dude with big teeth, a donkey chubby and a few other things. I have never laughed so hard and had so much fun.
Features on VR are just that- features. You use them the way you want to use them. If you want to have fun with them, you will. All of this is just another example of you making your own experiences.
Have fun and enjoy it. And when hilarity ensues, roll with it. It could just be one of the best times you've had on here.
