I have no idea why people aren't capitalizing on that pokeball ability more, you could reskin one as a coccoon pretty easily, I'd imagine.. ;)

My crummy old laptop's onboard video shits on second life, so I can't even function in-game. Otherwise, I'd be stoked to help.

You find us somebody who can do it, and we'll definitely make use of it. :D

Failing that, we could always just use the pokeballs.

The spider armies are amassing. Will you take up arms (legs) in the fight?



Also, in my spare time I have been traveling about as Santa.



I haven't been on that much yet, but I've been trying to bring Christmas Cheer to everyone I meet and every place I visit. I've given many goons presents, and I stopped by a museum earlier to spruce up the place. Unfortunately, I thought Screenshot was Ctrl + ', not Ctrl + `, so I only have one screenshot from this endeavor, while I was taking cover from the host of some party wandering around.



Needless to say, the 30 or so party guests I snuck past are going to encounter more decorations before they can get to the exhibits

In CSS there is a command you can use to make you show up as unconnected ingame, making you unmuteable. This + HLSS + a 50 person zombie mod server filled with 12 year-olds = great fun.

I'm loving some of these names. I already got a spider, but I was sent a second one by Crotch Magic. I'm half-tempted to make another character just to get that Magic surname, or something else stupid/funny.

Edit: That was Groin not Crotch. Still funny.

Spider invasion: successful. Many people got screenshots and I think someone got video so be prepared



Here we are massing in w-hat, and there is much confusion in the ranks because no one really knows where to go or how to communicate. After a few crashes from the sheer number of complex avatar spiders, we set off to a FurNation realm, where we quickly realize that everyone is AFK, so MrDutch suggests The Orgy Room.



Here we are at in the lobby, preparing to strike.



We scampered all through the orgy room, where various acts of lewd perversion were taking place. I noticed a couple cuddling, so I thought I would join in.

Unfortunately, the sheer number of spiders and people and crappy jpgs in the orgy room caused us to get about 2 fps, as well as numerous crashes from most spiders involved. This called for a tactical retreat, wherein we went to a sandbox and I resumed my Santa duties and spruced the place up.





Someone disliked my holiday cheer so I dropped a christmas tree on their head (screenshot not found :( )

Anyway we encountered another individual who called into question our arachnid nature.




I believe it was Groin Magic who at this point found a cruise ship teeming with people, so we went to check it out.



Here we are on the bow of the SS Galaxy, where we spent an unreasonable amount of time navigating the pisshole maze of a cruise ship, but when we found people we struck pay dirt.



It seems we had interrupted a wedding. We proceeded to run around like idiots, not saying anything in local (using group chat only) to complete the illusion. Rod was wielding a nazi flag and playing the piano, and though I have no screenshot I'm sure SOMEONE does. NEedless to say the guests were not pleased, and most of us were banned within a minute or two. However...



Due to some back-door antics (bugs and group teleporting), a number of us were able to sneak back in. I seemed to get in after everyone else had been superbanned, so I snuck in the back way.



Here I am hiding on the balcony of the ballroom at what appears to be the reception. I sent TP invites to my fellow spiders but to no avail; it appeared I was the only one left. So, I did what any rational being would do



I started dancing! I used one of the pose-balls set up for people to dance with, and though you can't really tell from the screenshot I am doing a salsa dance. I guess my moves weren't appreciated and I was banned again.



WHEEE! When you get banned you generally go flying and end up at the edge of the zone. However, what did I find there?



Some of the party guests banned also? I never got the chance to ask them as I was then superbanned and sent back to w-hat, never to return to the SS Galaxy.

If anyone still needs the spider avatar, there's a spiderwebbed box very near here (between the control points) that you can click to get the folder, rather than having to drop and unpack the box.

Also, I'm trying to find the spider group.

I just logged off, we crashed some parties, best was the wedding at the boat, giant spiders led by a nazi spider carrying a flag haha.

after that some furry's, but they were really creapy, they were talking on there mikes to us, and it just messes with your mind man.

I got some pictures though:


We crashed the wedding here, didnt get all the spiders though, and there were more people on the dancefloor.


Spider mixing drinks, dont know who that was though.

I couldn't work out how the gently caress to get screenshots during our arachnid expedition (I believe Linden Labs used to have the nerve to charge you to take screenshots or something), but I noticed the rather directly-named "SEX ISLAND" outing hasn't been mentioned or screenshotted. The place was more or less exactly what it sounded like, a beach area with tons of people loving and all sorts of horrid outdoors depravity.

I spot this one guy working a girl over, so I hover over him and teleport everyone in, causing them to drop from the sky around the guy. Never would I have thought prior to now that a Spider Airdrop is a viable tactic, but holy jesus. We crowd around him a bunch and do various spider dances, prompting angry IMs from him - we then proceeded to just rampage across the beach crawling all over everyone and everything, getting screamed at in italian by some of the more feisty folks. Bizarrely, next to none of them stopped. You'd think being surrounded by 7-8 giant tarantulas would be a bit off-putting, but who am I to judge? :v:

Also of note - a small group in a sandbox, who upon seeing us thought we were inanimate objects until we began to move, prompting the classic line "oh jesus they're alive".

Yeah, we were hanging out on w-hat. They got a bit sarcastic about the giant spider infestation though, using the word "spider" got you autobanned for a minute when I left. Really, just read the last 2 pages, you should be able to figure something out from that.
