I was curious to see who are typical visitors to Ambrosia and why they choose Ambrosia over other clubs. I mean, Second Life is filled with hundreds of clubs all offering the same thing. Why do people prefer to spend time in Ambrosia?
Gagou: hmm i think here’s the best music, and always friendly dancers
Gagou: also nice people
Phil Kearny: Any thing else?
Gagou: I want to do doh Sexxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iulia Pearl: good songs nice dances like was midnight reflections if u know the sim(now is closed)
iulia Pearl: and polite people
iulia Pearl: that i found till now
iulia Pearl: in ambrosia
Phil Kearny: Can I just say, you have magnificent boobies.
iulia Pearl: ty
Demetri Franizzi: all of it man, its obvious u all put work into it, ur workers all are very friendly, the dj’s are diverse…. amongst most of my friends our usual things to say when we want to go to a club is ambro or rez?
Jeff Goodnight: I Like the crowd and for the most part the staff
Jeff Goodnight: and like your general attitude here
Jeff Goodnight: kind of the Studio 54 mindset as it were
Jeff Goodnight: you get the ‘cool’ crowd
Jeff Goodnight: however, the Studio 54 comparison dates me I think lol
Phil Kearny: its ok, its famous
Jeff Goodnight: lol
Phil Kearny: you might be a student of history
Jeff Goodnight: true
Very shortly Linden Lab will introduce mesh into Second Life. That means that viewers that are running on 1.23 code will be officially obsolete and no longer supported. The rumors are that they won’t work at all. This means that all the people that are clutching their Phoenix Viewers like the gold of Eldorado must move on or leave Second Life. The official Linden Lab Viewer which is universally despised by just about everyone will be the defacto viewer. The Phoenix developers have now officially released a viewer 2 code based version called Firestorm which should placate those that are reluctant to relinquish the privacy invasion tools that Phoenix provides. I mean its very important to see who is looking at your boobies.
There are those that are vehement about never switching to Viewer 2. They would rather leave Second Life than be forced to change. To these people we must say Bon Voyage. It’s been nice knowing you. And it is time to move on.
As for myself, I have been using Viewer 2 from the moment it came out. Has my experience in Second Life been degraded as a result of not being able to use the Viewer 1.23 interface. NO. I don’t miss pie menus and i learned how to function using Viewer 2. It is in many ways superior to Viewer 1.23 and i never looked back. I never trusted the third party viewers and was apparently vindicated in this belief when the entire Emerald debacle unfolded and the viewer was banned from Second Life. It’s resurrection as Phoenix was a surprise since at that point Linden Lab should just have forced everyone on to Viewer 2. How many people will leave as a result? The vocal few perhaps. But the majority will just learn Viewer 2 and use it.
Most people i discuss this with who use Phoenix tell me how much Viewer 2 sucks and how they will never use it. I ask how long they tried it for. The answer range from a week to not at all. In fact many of the people i speak to have never used it at all yet they still speak about its terrible qualities and how it will destroy their SL experience because they have heard from people how awful it is. The truth is that most of the horrible things that people initially hated about Viewer 2 have been either eliminated or modified to provide a better experience. And the Phoenix people have of course produced a great version of it called Firestorm which incorporates all the features that drew so many people to Emerald to begin with.
It’s time for everyone to just start to learn how to function in a Viewer 2 World. Eliminating the old code and unifying everyone again will free resources for Linden Labs and make it so much easier to explain how to do things to newcomers. It’s been a royal pain to have to ask what viewer a person is using before you explain to them how to view beacons or some such thing. I don’t even remember how to do anything really using a viewer 1.23 source viewer.
For those of you who insist there is no way you can learn a new viewer just keep in mind that all newbies coming in to SL are using Viewer 2. They don’t know about pie menus and they slam into walls and ask for sex just as well as you did when you first signed up for Second Life.
When visitors come to the Ambrosia Dance club they are asked to behave within the framework of club rules. These rules have been developed over the last 5 years to make sure that one person does not ruin the enjoyment of the venue with selfish behavior. There are so many examples of this that the DO NOT list grows constantly. Rule breakers feel a sense of entitlement that says that they can pretty much do or say anything without repercussions of any sort, especially in a virtual world environment.
In this example from the real world, a texter insisted on using her cell phone in a movie theater in Austin Texas called The Alamo Drafthouse in spite of warnings to desist from this action. After she was ejected from the theater she sent a voice mail telling the management exactly what she thought of this policy. The Management then used this to create a little pre movie announcement as seen here.
Well, i like this idea very much of actually posting what these whining complainers have to say. Here is a recent transcript of a costumer who did not want to follow the club rules.

Naturally, it being Second Life we are dealing with furry hermaphrodites, but the idea is the same. RL or SL same crew of whiners who think that the world revolves around them. Its worse than having a bad hangover. News Flash! It does not!
Visitors to Ambrosia are subjected to every style of music imaginable around the clock. If you look closely you will see a list of banned songs. These songs are so universally overplayed usually that just hearing the first 5 notes stimulates the gag reflex and leads to messy cleanups.
One song in particular is universally despised for its insipid melody and vapid lyrics. Friday.
As a note of distinction it is officially the most disliked video on Youtube. The statistics are really astonishing. As of today this video has received 160,288,683 views! A goodly percentage of viewers to the time to register 436,217 likes and 3,102,947 dislikes. Rebecca Black has officially overtaken Justin Bieber
as the most disliked! That’s quite an accomplishment for someone who’s video only cost $4000 to produce! Thanks Mom!
Why do people get so worked up with this song that it turns their souls black? Rebecca reportedly started getting death threats by phone and email. I mean the song is bad but death threats? You have to give the girl credit for making something that even if it is pretty much universally despised is watched and listened to over and over again. And maybe that is the appeal of this song. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion or a really bad car accident. You just can’t turn away without making some sort of comment.
