To Right The Wrong

It only took them some months to copy the same mistakes as the old LEA. The open hive of HEA is already shut down for SaveMe Oh if Ultralight wants to play there. Forgotten is the support for the artworld SaveMe gave and back are the old restrictions.

Roxy Gellar must be the happiest person on the grid tonight. Some days ago she asked me the following:

Roxy Gellar: So the Question is, Ultra is performing at Hannington this weekend, are you banned?

SaveMe Oh: The Hannington people are not your kind of dictatorial style. Be like them and open the world to every one. You still have time to become a good person.

Roxy was right. I was wrong!

SaveMe Oh: Do you know why I am banned?

Hannington Xeltentat: Oh hello SaveMe. Yes, there is a concert on by Ultraviolet, and she won’t play if you are here. I’ll lift it as soon as it is over. Nothing personal.

SaveMe Oh: Do you approve that she is able to exclude me? Secondlife give her derender tools when she dont want to see me.

Hannington Xeltentat: I’m a bit busy now for in depth discussion, but basically, old chap, it is my house, and like your RL house or my RL house, you are welcome here any time, and I mean that, except when I am doing something else.

SaveMe Oh: And when I do a performance in your house and on a certain day I dont want Tansee there, will you ban her?

Hannington Xeltentat: I consider each individual case on its merits.

SaveMe Oh: And will you kill someone when a friend asks you to?

Hannington Xeltentat: Different question, irrelevent here

SaveMe Oh: Did you consider to ask Ultralight to play in her own house if she wanted an exclusive party?

Hannington Xeltentat: No, because it’s my house, and I decided.to have her play in my house.. This is a private sim, and you are welcome any time, as I said. Except that I am doing something else tonight.

SaveMe Oh: Is Ultralight an old friend of you?

Hannington Xeltentat: I have no friends in SL, old or new. I judge each case on its merits

SaveMe Oh: And what merits you found in this “case”?

Hannington Xeltentat: I am letting Ultraviolet play her concert. It’s very good.

SaveMe Oh: And how many people were on her requested banlist? Only me?

Hannington Xeltentat: Not her banlist, mine. You can’t be trusted.not to disrupt things. You only have yourself to blame

SaveMe Oh: And when Trump would ask you to ban a Mexican. Hitler ask you to ban a jew or the KKK ask you to ban an african?

Hannington Xeltentat: Not an applicable simile, at all, and an insult by you to all the oppressed minorities. Unworthy of you

SaveMe Oh: You think oppressed minorities have to stay polite against their opressors?

SaveMe Oh: Do they have to humble accept the verdict?

Hannington Xeltentat: You know the answer to that one, but in this case you are not an oppressed minority. You are the one, on occasion, oppressing. And no, I do not humbly accept your verdict. This is SL, and reference to to Hitler et al is overindulgent and offensive. You should be better than that.

SaveMe Oh: I am much better than that, thats why you should be the one who should do better. You should refuse to ban people at any time.

Hannington Xeltentat: I should do what I wish to do, no more, no less. And I do. No-one dictates anything to me. That, in essence, is true anarchy.

SaveMe Oh: Tansee and Ultralight dictated to you. You obey. It has nothing to do with your own will.

Hannington Xeltentat: I obey only myself, SaveMe. I make decisions based on each case, considered carefully.. And they are my decisions, for my reasons. I do not answer to anyone, and there is no need for me to. Buy your own island, then you can do that too.

SaveMe Oh: I will never buy an island to sit there as a judge who is welcome and who has to stay out. I prefer to trust people.

Hannington Xeltentat: I trust the people I trust, and I don’t trust the people I don’t trust. I have my island as my space, and I give a little bit of it to people who want to do something productive and creative. no more, no less.. And as I said, you are welcome any time, unless I am doing something else.

SaveMe Oh: It’s difficult to try to make something wrong look like right, isn’t it?

A One Time Offer To Ultralight

Hannington Xeltentat: SaveMe! welcome ㋡

SaveMe Oh: Thank you. Hi Ultra, how are you

Ultralight Alter: Ok thanks, and you

SaveMe Oh: You know me, I am the sunshine in the house

Ultralight Alter: Sunshine can make colours fade

SaveMe Oh: The white light is lovely too

Ultralight Alter: It is

SaveMe Oh: Ultra, I came up with a great idea, I know you always want to prevent me from being close to you…

Ultralight Alter: What would that be

SaveMe Oh: So I set up a performance room on top of here

Tansee whispers: ahem, ahem

SaveMe Oh: so you can choose to perform downstairs without me bothering you. You can also choose to perform upstairs were I might bother you. Free choice.

Tansee: I think it can be a good compromise for us all

SaveMe Oh: For you, for me, for the audience. I am not the enemy but if you want to see me like that its up to you. And the advice of derender can always be given to everybody. Its just like a tv, you switch to the channel you like

Tansee: I think it is a good way to work together,,, as that is the theme here at the hive. And you know my mantra,,,,”play nice”

SaveMe Oh: And derender hippie talk is also an option!

Tansee: Save me SaveMe

SaveMe Oh: Always

Tansee: Why dont you go up and test

SaveMe Oh: we tested yesterday honey, it works

Tansee: So Hann knows what we are talking about and Ultra, ok, then you all have to trust me on this.

Ultralight Alter: I am sure SaveMe is part of Extinction Rebellion

Tansee: I think it is a great comprimise

SaveMe Oh: I am

Ultralight Alter: of course

SaveMe Oh: I suggested all methods to them, btw, this swan is not a real one, before you start to send a complaint

Tansee: Are we all ok with this collaboration of sorts ?

SaveMe Oh: To make this work I have a one time offer, when Ultra don’t want me here the first time I wont come. Its up to her, so Ultra, you decide

Ultralight Alter: You do what you want SaveMe

SaveMe Oh: But you may also join me upstairs

Tansee: I would like Ultra down here, that was the plan

SaveMe Oh: yes, but everybody is free insn’t it?

Tansee: If she wants to, everyone is free

SaveMe Oh: I even might leave with Hann

Hannington Xeltentat: ㋡

Tansee: Flirt!

SaveMe Oh: Jealous?

Hannington Xeltentat: I hardly said a word ㋡

Tansee: lol

SaveMe Oh: you don’t have to say a word honey

Tansee: I like it when you say Honey here in the hive

SaveMe Oh: Honeybee, how is that?

Ultralight’s Rider

When Ultralight plays a concert she has one demand. The concert has to be SaveMe Oh free and every ass licking (the so cold LEAS) organiser start to pretend her shit taste good.

Cat Boucher is one of these servants who bows immediately when the soft muzak producer shakes with her contract.

Cat Boucher: SaveMe please do not do your visuals.

SaveMe Oh: I love you too

An hour later, when DD started playing…..

SaveMe Oh: Unban me quick and send a tp!

Cat Boucher: I can’t SaveMe … my landlord has to do it

SaveMe Oh: Jeeezzz, are you stupid or what? A dictator with a landlord?

Cat Boucher: Well it seems I am a dictator without rights lol, but I asked you to stop so a bann would not be needed

SaveMe Oh: In the good old times dictators were the boss, nowadays silly consumers volunteer for free to be a dictator. With idiots like that we don’t need enemies

Cat Boucher: We don’t need enemies anyway

SaveMe Oh: Then why you abuse people? For fun?

The Betty Bore

When the most boring SL wannabe artist Betty Tureaud (Think random stuff painted in OMO colors) has a gathering with Ultralight muzak it’s time for a bedtime story.

It was ages ago I heared Ultralight for the last time. Wasn’t she that German Schlager expert? Softly I started to sing that Ultralight song I thought to remember; “Ich bin wie du, wir sind wie Sand und Meer” when my eye fell on the banlist of the sim. Of course it contained my name as ALWAYS BANNED but on the ALWAYS allowed list was the name of Alizarin Goldflake, wasn’t she dead?????!!!!!

Easter was so near, was Alizarin planning a come back? Hopeful I looked up in the sky, but no, no returning Alizarin, just particle pollution. What a LAG, I hardly could move, everything was dark, was Ultralight playing white or black noise tonight?

It was Venus, the one with the water-head, farting particles while Ultralight did a Tangerine Dream karaoke. I looked at Venus her alien water-head. They say the bigger the head the harder they fart. Luckily Ultralight had close to zero emission. I would say Ultralight could be climate neutral if it wasn’t for that alien farter….

Was Ampel here? The old one? I wonder if Venus could also do Mandel farts in 3D? Wow, if she could he would be so delighted. But a lot of people would go if she would fart Mandel 3D. When people say they have to go they mean to say they hate it.

I could already hear Mandel start shouting CLAP CLAP CLAP. Was he not aware shouting might trigger epileptic attacks, he better would whisper, psssstttt, not so loud.

The glorious appearance of Kikas Babenco made all LAG disappear as if in a miracle. “How is Marmaduke, Kikas? Is he still working in the security orb business?

A strange breakbeat woke up the elderly avi’s. Ultralight is a breakbeat expert but those particles disturb the radiowaves and brainwaves, they told me on secondpedia.

DOOB was moving in the scene. What was he doing here? He was hating the Ultralight Muzak. But hey, Betty Tureaud paid me to show up here, why wouldn’t she have paid DOOB too to make an appearance? Or was he just the doorman who had to send everyone who couldn’t enter a Jean Michel Jarre Spotify link?

In the mean time Venus’s farts had dried up “Hey Venus, next time you have to eat more pea soup!”

When Marmaduke Arado would have been here he would have started a show. Such a pity all those awful people parked here had scared him away with their hi’s and coucou’s.

While I was dreaming about Marmaduke I get scared. Ultralight was not doing her extended version tonight, I hoped? People were already falling asleep.

“Venus fart louder, people are falling asleep” only Dildo Haas was as always still standing straight.

And then Ush came in who I had told to stay at home to watch our sim. But she couldn’t resist a possible Ampel tango animation. I was starting the 5 minute countdown to prevent even more wasted time. Mandel started shouting as the Pavlov doggie he is.

I jumped into Ush her new Shinto Honda, told Kikas to blow Marma (a kiss) and we drove home. Ush tried to cheer me up “If Betty is an artist, I am SaveMe Oh”.

With tears in our eyes from laughing we arrived in our sim were we both grabbed a fish. Ultralight Muzak makes hungry.

Are You The Holder Of The Core Grant?

Even when I am banned at a LEA “event” every activity there needs the name SaveMe Oh in chat, otherwise people will fall asleep. Not long after Tansee, Mandel Solano and Ultralight Alter started an extremely boring particle fart reunion SaveMe Oh was mentioned. And so I told my number one fan, Ampel Goosson to share the following lines in chat there to make it at least a dramatic event.

SaveMe Oh: Tell those suckers it’s extremely boring until now. The age of aquarius out of a elderly sanctuary. And give Solo Mornington a kiss.

Apmel Goosson: I have principles!!

And then a lively chatsession went off while no-one was paying attention anymore to the wallpaper provided by Mandel Solano and Ultralight Alter.

SaveMe Oh: Can you send Solo Mornington a kiss from me?

Eifachfilm Vacirca: I could also delete my account. I don”t touch poison

JMB Balogh: Ok Eif, what do you think you are doing? That’s disgusting. I am on the LEA committee

Eifachfilm Vacirca: I am older than LEA

JMB Balogh: What has that got to do with anything?

Eifachfilm Vacirca: I made the law lol

JMB Balogh: No one wanders around the sims, stop being a jackass

Eifachfilm Vacirca: What is a jackass?

JMB Balogh: Are you the holder of the core grant?

Eifachfilm Vacirca: No

SaveMe Oh: Hey Tyrehl, are you busy as parked LEA avatar, never mind

Tyrehl Byk: Why?

SaveMe Oh: I see you standing there as a sad black piece of crowshit. Could almost feel the pain. Must be hard to have to witness Mandel Solano’s amateurism together with the musak of Ultralight Alter, poor thing

Tyrehl Byk: Mostly I was just there to listen.

SaveMe Oh: Hope you woke up for the 5 minutes of SaveMe Oh exitement

Tyrehl Byk: I was able to catch up with a few old aquantences during that time tool. Mostly was interested in music and conversation…wasn’t much for the visuals today.

SaveMe Oh: The visuals were extremely poor, a pity they have banned me, I could have helped them out

Roxy Gellar: I am banned from the region

Fiona Leitner: So what now?

Roxy Gellar: That’s what I’d like to know

Fiona Leitner: we can’t unban you

Roxy Gellar: Why not? Who owns the estate?Who’s the estate manager?

Petitefleur: LaPiscean Liberty

Betty Tureaud: Mandel Solano

Mario2 Helstein: You are a traitor

Roxy Gellar:This is bullshit

Mario2 Helstein: You only dedicate yourself to sucking your cock, the rest does not matter, I thought you were different. I thought you were smarter

Roxy Gellar: I was banned from Ultra’s performance and apparently all of LEA. Fuck you Mandel and Mario. I have done nothing but work very hard for the music community. And spent hundreds of thousands of Lindens in support. Fuck you hard in the ass until you hemorrhage and die.

Mario2 Helstein: Never betrayals to who supports you. I’m not saying it for me

Roxy Gellar: My future events, should my account survive will be invitation only

SaveMe Oh: I will always be there for you Roxy, no matter how often we are banned

Apmel Goosson: awwww..friends for life

Lisbeth Salamander: I could cry 🙂

Apmel Goosson: Crying is the best of SaveMe

Glasz DeCuir: Dont arrive drunk home please SaveMe and Roxy!

Divide And Rule

After a period in which she disappeared from the event organising Roxy Gellar found it necessary to make a comeback in the spotlights. Only what to do with SaveMe Oh who became an absolute megastar during her absence? She decided to a Machiavellian master plan. She would allow SaveMe Oh to enter to perform with DD, Morlita or Echo Starship and kick her out when it’s time for Ultralight Alter and others who still didn’t see the light. A bright example of the Machiavellian way of dictatorship; divide and rule.

Friends I brought along to make it an international exchange of creative minds like Cherry Manga also had to suffer. Everybody who might have the slightest sympathy for SaveMe Oh had to fear immediate expulsion.

That the sim acted weird after the banning of SaveMe Oh and Cherry Manga was not the hand of Cheesus, but of course Roxy put the blame completely to SaveMe Oh.

“SaveMe Oh is grieving Ush Underwood from behind her ban lines” Roxy screamed, forgetting that Ush is SaveMe’s neighbour for maybe more than 5 years and their exchange of cups of sugar is almost legendary.

Roxy is by far one of the sickest persons in SL and that’s why she is my number one patient for salvation. My apologies to everyone for not be able to cure her yet, but I will keep on trying the best I can.

In the mean time she is still not feeling well as can be read in her facebook rants:

Roxy Gellar: I’m cancelling Morlita Quan and Echo Starship if they can’t prevent SaveMe and her griefers from destroying things. As of now, without any guarantees. The event is cancelled. I have fucking bent over backwards trying to do what would make you people happy. Have your event at Echo’s and Fuck You!

Yesterday SaveMe Oh, Glasz, and Cherry Manga… with perhaps with some others griefed Wizards Retreat. Before closing the doors to my various stages in January of 2016, I was able to keep SaveMe at bay. But there were too many of them and so the sim apparently crashed along with a performance by Ultraviolet being disrupted 30 minutes into the set.

DeceptionsDigital, Echo Starship, and Morlita Quan among others have been not just turning a blind eye. It some instances they have been argumentatively supportive of the abuse SaveMe heaps on people. All this after what I thought were long standing friendships, more importantly significant tips, fees, and many hours in support of these virtual “rock stars.”

I will give someone dozens of chances. I want to believe that deep down everyone is basically good. That isn’t true. And this is a lesson I have to learn time and again until I have no other conclusion than to sever all ties and contact. DeceptionsDigital, Echo Starship, Morlita Quan, and their relatively small group of hangs on are now dead to me.

To be honest, as a whole these individuals named above aren’t different in any significant quality from the clients of a recover program where I provided support to Homeless people. Quite the same behaviors and characteristics as homeless duo-diagnosed addicts and alcoholics with sever mental and emotional disorders I provided counseling to in San Francisco. Nearly identical dynamics as people temporarily living in the residential program where I was employed.

Roxy’s diagnosis about SaveMe Oh: Clearly indications of a wide range of personality disorders along with your emotional troubles, mental impairment as well though high functioning. I think it’s safe to assume that without channeling your illness(s) into virtual reality, that you would be a danger to yourself and other people. In fact, you might still be a risk to the community.

Ask your doctor to explore medication options as well as enrollment in a CBT group. You might actually be capable of improving, but in all honesty, you aren’t really capable of improvement. If you were a client, it would be my responsibility to provide optimism. But you’re not, so you get Truth.

Burned Bridges Or How To Firestorm LEA

After I occupied LEA 24 it’s time to conquer the next LEA sim, LEA 20.

SaveMe Oh: You better organise me a performance here or this might go into history as extremely boring, this is a pile of prim waste here

Juliette Surrealdreaming: You know Ultraviolet?

SaveMe Oh: Yes, she hates me and makes sure I am banned from all events she plays. I call her Ultralight btw. When organisers don’t pre-ban me she won’t play.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: You are not on the ban list here.

SaveMe Oh: When I had appeared here last Thursday it would have been just a matter of time.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Well yes probably as Art Blue has this sim.

SaveMe Oh: Art Blue is a pompous idiot

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Awwww. Art loves art and creativity.

SaveMe Oh: He is only here to promote himself.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Get serious. Everyone is.

SaveMe Oh: He is notorious for it, surf on the work of others

Juliette Surrealdreaming: He is an idea man

SaveMe Oh: Artists don’t need his ideas, artists have the ideas themselves. When organisers are there for the art it’s ok, he is there for himself.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Maybe he just doesn’t know how to realize and manifest those ideas. So he sees the ability in others and pulls them together. Well I am trying to accept everyone for who they are as I know how it feels to be shunned by a community

SaveMe Oh: People like Art Blue, Aino Baar and owners of LEA, UWA or Pirats want to expose themselves instead the artists they pretend to promote. The good organiser or promoter you wouldn’t notice. You are a bad promoter when you seem to be more important than the art you promote. But I am glad you agree with me about Art Blue.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: I do not. I accept Art for who he is… just as I accept you for who you are.

SaveMe Oh: It’s a big relief

Juliette Surrealdreaming: I respect Art, I respect you, and I think both of you are talented.

SaveMe Oh: Respect is the most awful word in the world. I clean my ass with it

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Respect, respect, respect, your asshole red now?

SaveMe Oh: you think I have diahoerea?

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Respect, respect, I think it must be burning now. Everyone is here to have expression I think. You, me, Art… DD… Ultra…. Norton… Molly… Gem etc etc etc, even Josef. I voted for his gallery.

SaveMe Oh: No, please not Josef, he loves Elton John

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Josef is expressing himself via his gallery, you can read him by viewing the art he chooses.

SaveMe Oh: No, Josef is educated by me in his gallery. But it’s a long way.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: If we each support one another… we grow as a human being. I support you SaveMe, I support Art.

SaveMe Oh: Yes you should

Juliette Surrealdreaming: But the bottom line is… respect yourself

SaveMe Oh: Hippie. This place already looks much better with my interventions

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Nice, you are really a brat

SaveMe Oh: Imagine Ultralight playing her soft porn….

Juliette Surrealdreaming: I like her music, I like DD, Paris, Lisa and also Samm

SaveMe Oh: You like everything, you were once Mother Teresa

Juliette Surrealdreaming: I try not to burn bridges

SaveMe Oh: Burned bridges are the perfect road to good art. Cross the fire and at the end you go to the left.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Art Blue is not bad, SaveMe.

SaveMe Oh: I know, that’s why I will save him too. Everyone deserves salvation.

SaveMe Oh:

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Do you and Venus Adored get along?

SaveMe Oh: She still tries to avoid me because she is a Mandel Solana’s groupie but one day we will get along.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: I don’t really know Mandel Solana or his history

SaveMe Oh: Betty, Ultralight, Venus, Mandel, they have some frustrations, but I will save them too.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Betty… I once thought she wanted to do a show at my gallery but… then she told me to stop sending her invitations, so… I stopped

SaveMe Oh: She is a wannabe artist struggling but I will save her too.

Juliette Surrealdreaming: But isn’t that ok?  To struggle and explore your creative side in sl?

SaveMe Oh: Yes, that’s why I take them under my caring wings

Juliette Surrealdreaming: Awwww you are so nice!!!!!

An Old Persons Guide For Taming A Troll

If you start trying to be an artist on a certain age, not in the real world anymore, but for example in a virtual world like Secondlife it is valuable to have the tool to keep all those young trolls from your back who seem to have a great pleasure in disturbing all your openings, exhibitions and events.

What can you do to minimise the damage they undoubtedly will try to do? Here is the trick: create them a playground, make them a little kindergarten.

Betty Omo finally found out how, after years and years of producing the same project! She dropped moving objects in her environment and at once she had no problem with the troll anymore. To her delight she could see the troll didn’t waste a second and jumped on the moving object and didn’t stop playing with her enormous box of attachments until the event had finished. Important is that the moving object in not completely isolated from the audience as the troll won’t take the bite without the illusion of being seen by the audience once in a while. The advice is to let the troll come close 10 seconds from every minute that will satisfy the troll.

All the elderly people who had in real life not seen a dance floor for more than 50 years could undisturbed pretend to be dancing with their avatar. Ultralight, the frozen artist pretending to make music could stand undisturbed frozen on a stage and the troll, she made circle after circle in her moving cage without noticing she was fooled.

Ofcourse this tactics also have some disadvantages. The risk is always present that watching the playing troll turns out to be much more interesting than watching the frozen artist as for example Ultralight. And it is also not very nice for the creator of the environment that after the event only the pics from the playing troll turn out to be nice were the pics from the parked avatars in front of the frozen artist are boring and dull as ever. And the biggest risk of all is that during the event nobody is actually listening anymore to the concert from for example an Ultralight, who gave in this example maybe her most bad concert ever. One troll overheard another troll say this about the concert: “when I put my keyboard on autopilot it is more exiting”.
