Visiting another town

I hadn't really worked in another place for years, except maybe for the Bunny Girl Club, which never really took off. In the past I was at Trashy Whore Trailer Park at times, but otherwise I've been pretty much confined to Street Whores.
But unrest does get a girl on her legs so I decided to take a look around. It wasn't long before I found a place to visit: Whore Street, in Velvet Isle region.

Much to my surprise I even found girls who greeted me and talked back to me when I did. It almost feels like a new experience now. A few men walked in during the first 10 minutes I was there: they said hello too. That's refreshing!

For the AFK girls there was even a special board. And there was actually a manager around that had the task to enforce a no-AFK rule. Well-done!

But of course I had no need for the AFK Board. I soon got my ass moving. Quite the morning...

Moving away from the traffic

We're always being told how good 'traffic' is in Second Life and how important it is to have many visitors in your region. I can tell you, some days it is a pest to be in a busy place, especially if the 'busyness' doesn't translate to 'business'.

When the street is full of girls who don't communicate (except in instant message maybe, but I can't see that, so they might as well be asleep) and quiet men who either cam around with their other hand in their pants, or who might be just as AFK, then it's time to move away a bit.
For me the trade-off is simple: I create a filter this way, that makes sure that people have to walk towards me to get in chat range. AFK people don't walk. So this way I ensure that when someone gets near, I know it is eather an active colleague or an interested punter.
Isn't it all quiet and lonely like this? Yes, sometimes. But I prefer to spend some time on this blog and wait for a sound from my radar or an IM window to trigger me.

In the meantime... I can write stuff for you guys...
