@Comcultgirl Agreed. In SL, there is some resistance to willingly adapt to norms of community. Lack of presence? Not sure. #mscidel
#mscidel I even changed my language but people didn't know/want to play along - obviously don't know rules yet.
#mscidel fascinating stuff about culture in SL and having to dress certain way. Doing some medieval role play at moment.
@gallagher_msean maybe the rules and clothes are the SL version of Lonely Planet? Isn't RL dependent on objects/people too? #mscidel
@claraoshea Like the tourism in SL idea. We are all sort of tourists there, unsure how to proceed with no Lonely Planet. #mscidel
p.s. I went to Berlin 1920s and wore the suit as a Japanese female both abiding by and transgressing the code. felt v. naughty! :) #mscidel
the upside to being forced to dress a certain way is the freebies, which can be mixed, matched and sometimes adapted :) #mscidel
@gallagher_msean I woner if the pose balls and animations count as enforced culture? #mscidel
@dmonp identity as dress and behaviours? is this real identity? #mscidel
@gallagher_msean perhaps because newbies/visitors aren't 'enculturated' as would be in rl? compare to tourism? #mscidel
@gallagher_msean lots of places in SL do that - along with particular codes of conduct or gender restrictions #mscidel

@gallagher_msean nice Michael! lol!! :) #mscidel
Its all in the sidebar. Just kidding. RT @angelntini #mscidel How can be a mere link more embodied than an attachment? :)
@Comcultgirl #mscidel I've just read ur post on the msc forum so ignore my last question!
@Comcultgirl #mscidel Can i ask y u set up an alt and how different he/she is from ur main one?
#mscidel @slavery Funny you should mention that - yes, I have got an 'alt' - yesterday!
#mscidel Has any1 got different account in SL? 'alts'? im curious - is v interesting!
@gallagher_msean #mscidel How can be a mere link more embodied than an attach-ment? :)
@angelntini @claraoshea No worries! Yes, I just used the link rather than the attachment. I felt more embodied that way. #mscidel
@gallagher_msean #mscidel Michael you r a genius! thanx a lot!
@gallagher_msean @angelntini ah so Michael's was a link rather than an attachment? #mscidel
@claraoshea Flickr image<all sizes<Copy Image Location. Don't know about the scroll bar unless that was in the image URL as well. #mscidel
@angelntini just tested that and both had scroll bars (png and jpg). @gallagher_msean got any ideas what you did differently? :) #mscidel
@angelntini Actually, Michael's file is a png - I think that's the difference angelos - different types of file. #mscidel
