Kilted even in the Metaverse

[GlassMan]

Hi All,

I don't know how many of you have ever spent much time in the virtual world of Second Life, but I'm finding that I have been having lots of fun and spending more and more time in there. But what I think is more fun is that, even in Second Life (where people can make their avatars look like anything they imagine - from dragons to clouds to animals to humans) I'm still PROUDLY KILTED!!!!!

So my question to you out there is this:

In real life you may or may not wear a kilt frequently, but where besides XMarks on the Internet do you identify as kilted or wear a virtual kilt of sorts?

Welcome back again, Phil.

I've posted photos of myself kilted in all social networking sites where I have a profile, except classmates and linked in.

Regards,
Rex.

i play a java based game called runescape and they have a ogre kilt there (looks nothing like a real kilt ) and also a dragon plate skirt which looks more like a kilt ,
i tend to run trying to do my bit for Scotland rather funny great thing is they have a emote which almost looks like a highland jig

My only virtual world appears when I sleep - though since I started dreaming of myself kilted I find I run faster, leap higher - and I'm not even dreaming of one of my own kilts.

There must be something my subconscious is trying to tell me...

Rex and a few others will back me up on this story. At a recent kilt night, a person was wanting to add me to their facebook list, via an Iphone (or similar) and after he got my name, asked which 'nicholas alexander' I was, and I replied, 'the kilted one' and before another thing could be siad he replied 'yup, there you are"

My profile pic there is a B&W self portrait of me in my Gordon.

Having just recently "lost" 9 complete days and then spending the next couple of weeks wishing almost beyond anything, that I could "loose" them as well, I can't say that I remember the word kilt cropping up, in the metaverse,internet,or anywhere else in the whole universe!

I don't do the virtual thing, but on several other forums(concerning things which are, rightly I may add, taboo here) I am listed variously as KilktedCelt, CelticRedneck and KiltedRedneck.

I have tried to be consistent that if it involves me and kilts in any form or fashion, I am represented as Wolfhawk or TxWolfhawk.

Hmm. Well, I tried Second Life. I gave it a fair go -- about 2 weeks. But it was boring as all get out. Seriously, there seemed to be absolutely no point to it. All I saw were people trying to sell crap for REAL money, virtual dance clubs full of people dancing for VIRTUAL money, and well -- that's about it. Wasn't even all too friendly. For the two weeks I played with it, I don't think I spoke to a single person. So finally I got tired of the painfully slow 3D rendering and graphics loading, and all the space it was taking up on my HD so I pulled the plug and never looked back since.

On the other hand, I'm an avid WoW player and I know that from time to time kilts get worn as fairly standard armor. I wouldn't get too excited about that though -- it's just one piece of kit and chances are, you won't wear it for long before moving to something else.
