We've all been there- a new member to the clan. Sometimes we have switched clans, sometimes we are new to Bloodlines, and more often than not, we are new to SL as well. Usually the new members are at the landing spot hanging out, getting a feel for their new family, trying to make friends. Now it isn't always easy friending a new person. Heaven knows I get headaches from the flashing bling and Ruth AV's.
But reaching out and simply saying hello, welcome to the clan, or offering a friendship request can do a world of good for a person. Remember we are real people behind these pixelated avatars. It's easy to stay within our cliques or small groups of friends. But if I had done that- I'd never have met the awesome Lara Darkbyrd and scores of other people! When I first joined I hid behind a tree for six weeks after reaching out to people and being totally ignored. And frankly, that fucking sucked.
Lord Badger is having a Meet n Greet at the landing spot on Thursday from 2-4pm SLT. Please come dance, party, and show some kindness to the new members. Don't forget to send out friend requests!
