One more group you forgot--Dancers. Especially the ones who think it’s funny to dance right in the way in gaming areas like Aurora and the Bowling Alley, etc. Of course, quite a few of them also go hand-in-hand with your ‘perverts’ section. Good article!

Truth be told, any woman who closed beta tested Home when it was little more than a free-for-all indoor meat market with an eventual bowling alley and the ability to chat in ear piercing, robotic sounds,(if you bothered to buy an additional headset) can tell you that as sick as it may be, alot is owed to the pervs, noobs, and kids who showed up simply because it was free and they could’nt afford games.
Eh, I know its revolting to think about it, but its true. I remember taking my chances every now and then and venturing into the new frontier called Home simply because I said, I would. Without fail, as soon as I spawned in my minimalist female avatardom,(not to draw attention, of course),I was openly and ferociously attacked. Texts and local chatter galore. And very seldom respectful. There were few woman back then, (apparently some of us were actually playing games) and as with any rarity, a frenzy usually resulted. I would walk around until I just couldn’t take it anymore. I would each and every time, vow never to again return.
My early experiences come to mind every now and again when I hear my present Home friends comment on those they deem to be “noobs” simply because they wear default clothing. I don’t speak up, but I suppose I should. I am proud as it turns out to have once been a noob, and if not for our combined noobdom, none of us would have met each other in the first place. As far as the pervs, the test is now over and your presence is no longer needed. Noobs win!
Thanks for the article, Rath.

I’m pretty much certain the person with the black ponytail and red shirt is you Olivia =)

The last line is a classic in the annals of HSM!

A breezy and funny read, Rath. Good job :>

I think we created our own monster, Olivia. Something tells me we will be hearing a lot more from Rath. At least I didn’t have to stand still for his pics! Next we will be sending him Add requests and he will say he is too busy to hang out with us anymore.

Well done Rath! Guess it pays to be “a conversation trapdoor spider”. You never mention you were writing this so I would add sneaky to the conversation trapdoor spider. Which is a group you left out… The Lurkers. I have no problem with lurkers as long as if and/or when they join in the convo, they don’t distract, just add. You must have been smiling while Granny and I were telling you to come check out HSM… you little devil you. It was an enjoyable read and I agreed with what you had to say. I am going to slap a knot on your head when I see you next for being sneaky.(not afraid of spiders)
Hope Terra didn’t tell you the parts I played in the photos.

This is a good article describing the basic’s of certain people on home. The people Ive encounter with is the pervs mainly. I don’t get talked too with those cheesy lines they do cause i have a guy avatar. When bowling is when i notice pervs, they do the whole lets sit down in front of you cause its the cool thing to do. I don’t call or think of anybody as noobs really. The only time i call someone a noob is when they asked the question whats the point of this space? Before you enter a space, if your in the Nav it gives you a small detail of what the space is. So i don’t get why people even ask that question. The home snobs and gamer snobs ive never really pay attention too. I don’t really talk to anybody on home in the first place because of people who act like snobs or dinks.
