Alts

There is little that is as controversial in SL Gor as the use of Alts (Alternative Avatars). The people who hate the practice feel that roleplay is diluted when people have so many identities that any one is seldom available to advance a story, fulfill a city or tribal function/duty. In addition, most people have heard of someone who was tricked or manipulated by someone creating an alt.

On the plus side, roleplayers will tell you that it makes things more authentic to retire a character for some time when it is killed in roleplay and to be able to have another character to continue to participate.

My character Muse was created to explore some very real in-depth human emotions in the M/s relationship. I decided to use an alt because my main avatar is closely tied to other activities in SL and RL connections. But with time, as the relationship deepened, our main avis also became M/s. So this blog in a sense is about two couples, two relationships.
