Roughly two weeks in to kitten’s second life…oh wait wasn’t a kitten back then…
Hmmm. Maybe I’ll just drop the kitten thing for reminiscing? What’s the wost that can happen, kitten’s Owner jumps all over me? That could be bad.
Ah what the heck.
Roughly two weeks in to my Second Life I ran in to a woman, Madang Alter. some of you might have heard of her. Well didn’t take long before she found out I have I Sable’s Bane suit and didn’t take much longer for her to get me in to it for six hours.
Yeah that’s right, two weeks in, hardly anyone on my firends list and I get myself locked up in a suit where I cant’ talk to anyone. I never claimed to be smart.
I still remember the emotions that went through during those days. I wrote about it shortly after, more than anything just ot work through what was going on in my head. I went in for six hours, came out after 12 hours having basically safeworded. Here’s an excerpt:
If one goes in to the Bane suit with an expetation of completing the sentence then it is crushing to find out this when released after double the original sentence.
Status after unlocked:
[18:58] BaneHelmet 1.2:
Bane designated S-2944.
Owned by Madang Alter
Helmet is unlocked.
[18:58] BaneHelmet 1.2:
Time Remaining is: 21hr 4min
Current Penalty is : 1hr 0min
Best time is: 12hr 6minThis is the perspective I went in to the suit with.
After 12 hours in the suit I had 21 hours to go, a total of 33 hours. And that’s assuming I wouldn’t rack up any more violations in the 33 hours. Given that I’d racked up enough to increase my sentence by a factor of five, that’s absolutely crushing. I had a bit of a cry on finding that out. I felt like a total failure.
So yeah, not the smartest thing I’ve done in SL. Yes, I did cry and have a bit of a sook. bit hey that’s life.
Did it turn me off isolation? Hmmm, you’ll have to wait and see (shush those of you who know the answer).
Sable’s helmet is harsh. It takes the number of infractions, DOUBLES that, and only then multiplies it by the penalty time. Even a penalty if five minutes can become a huge penalty. I’d have safeworded as well.
At least those in the ISO know they chose to be in it, while their loved one had no choice.
[...] correct thing to do if the circumstances demand it, I still emotionally connect it with failure, I’ve blogged about this in the past. For me, safewording is the only deterrent there need be. That’s why I believe it’s [...]
