Um... yeah. Though the badge is very pretty :p

WOW-that is freakin' lame....Let me say why. That is an ACTUAL Alpha Delta Theta badge. There was once an actual sorority called Alpha Delta Theta. That picture is from www.fratpin.com where you can buy used badges from many different organizations. It is a cool site. Anyway, Alpha Delta Theta was absorbed by Phi Mu-back in the day. Essentially, it is like joining Phi Mu if you join that group. Not that I am against that (obvious-I'm a Phi Mu), but it is almost like joining a "cyber" sorority of one of the sororities that Delta Zeta absorbed. It would be one thing if they knew what the hell they were talking about on that, but for them to call it a "cyber" sorority is stupid. It was once an ACTUAL sorority-not this stupid "cyber" crap.

Sorry-that was my soap box. Proceed to discuss the game.

I enjoy the game, but there are some things that bug me. Have you seen some of the horrendous things people will post on other people's white boards. It is atrocious!

i was wondering what that badge was but i assumed it was a photo edited picture of another badge, not an actual one. that makes it even worse

Ummm cyber sororities? Lame.

I really think this game is starting to suck...it comes out with new BP glam every week, yet here I am trying to keep my money in the bank b/c I have sooo freakin much of it! We should be able to buy SOMETHING with our SL cash, there is noo way I will ever pay for BP. (At least get rid of that "bank excess" rule...whats the point?)

Also, I am level 124 and I just finished the last of the platinum events..no new events until level 140?? what am I supposed to do now? ugh.

I'm in the same boat. My main character is level 123 and I've earned platinum mastery in all the events open to me. Turns out there are only 39, and you can't get the "Platinum Expertise Expert" award until you get platinum in 40 events. So now what? I twiddle my thumbs and plod my way through 17 more levels at ~4000 IP per level?

I have a character that I started as my "vacation mini" - I'd put her on when I knew I'd be offline for the weekend. She is turning out to be a pretty good organizer. Hell, I may start using her as my main and turn my level 123 into my vacation cover. :p

I admit it. It's fun but I agree that some people take it way too seriously.

WinniBug 12-14-2009 10:25 PM

So, I'm at level 120...very monotonous.
Is there any reason to keep playing??

AXiDMeesh 12-14-2009 10:44 PM

How long does it take you higher up people to level up on average? I just reached 106 today and that took about a week.

33girl 12-14-2009 10:59 PM

Ugggg! ^^ That's just what I needed to hear. The Clothing Line event takes all my energy and I need a whole day practically to regenerate. And yeah, the new BP glam every day with nothing new that you can buy for money is lame.

I guess all I can do is fight people while I wait.

Just shy of a week (Level 123) - but I've been putting every skill point toward energy for a long time now, so I'm at 295 energy. Right now I'm working on Organizing Alum Reunion, which is 100 energy - so I sign on and do it twice, then check GC or ignore friend requests or whatever until I get those 5 energy back and then do it a third time. Actually, at 900 influence points a day (plus whatever I get fighting when I first sign on) it's not so bad waiting to level up.

I'm having the worst time with gifting. I keep trying to send the Christmas gifts to people, but every time I click on the screen and try to select people, there is no one listed. The entire window is blank and says I need to pick someone in order to send a gift. Well if I can't see any names listed, how can I do that?! Sheesh!! (Sorry, and I really am trying to gift people back!)

Yea, that is lame.

When I started playing (I think it was late last year?) the BP glam was only 9 BPs or so.... yea the stats weren't as good, but at least they were new outfits.

Now all the new stuff is at least 19 BPs which is ridiculous. AND you need BPs to do certain events.

I have a feeling the Christmas Gift events are going to require BPs too...

I refuse to buy bonus points. I save them if I can but I am at 107 now with three events only to work on completing because I've platinum mastered everything else so earning BP's are slow in coming.

As far as some taking it too seriously---one of the sisters in my house was complaining earlier this week about being dropped from someone's house because she refused to drop a slapper from her house. Her reasoning was that if it was allowed in the game, then it wasnt breaking any rules so she wasnt going to penalize people for it. The person that dropped her proceeded to cuss her out too. Some people really need to get a life on SL.

She asked me yesterday if i was willing to drive to minnesota and be a "good sister" and help her fight some lady who may or may not be sleeping with her boyfriend. wtf? how about no. needless to say she has been removed from my friends.

OMG!!!

I dont build relationships with my sisters unless I knew them already. SL people are just that. SL people.

Exactly!! But I guess the people who aren't in a sorority IRL don't realize that. I always get a good laugh when reading the broadcast feed lol.
