Free SL11B Robot Avatars Available At Hairy Hippo Fun Land

Linden Lab have blogged about a new free gift for SL11B, explaining that it’s a limited edition fitted mesh avatar and therefore you need a viewer compliant with fitted mesh to really utilise said gift. Now you have a choice of where to get the avatar from, you can be boring and get it from The Marketplace or you can be a bit more adventurous and go to the more amusingly named inworld location of Hairy Hippo Fun Land!

There are many advantages of going to the inworld location, you get cake, teddy bears, meet people and try and find a spot to rez your boxed fitted mesh avatar. I actually teleported to a sandbox and TP’d back. However once you are in your avatar please be aware that you may well be expected to follow Asimov’s three laws of robotics, especially the second law!

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I discovered that people expect law 2 to be observed whilst I was exploring Hairy Hippo Fun Land and someone shouted to me “Oi, oi you, oi, Robot man, where did you get that avatar?” Now being duty bound I led said person to the vending machine that dispenses the avatars and explained to them that they have to keep clicking until the hover text shows Robot Avatar instead of teddy bear, then I ran away, I didn’t see any law of robotics forbidding that sort of action.

I found myself feeling a bit thirsty and engaged in a cup of tea or two. Whilst enjoying my tea I continued to read the Linden Lab blog post which explained there is a Destination Guide section dedicated to SL11B that people can check out for events or that people can submit their own SL11B events for consideration to be included, details in the official blog post.

Another fun part of exploring Hairy Hippo Fun Land is that they have a popcorn booth and as we all know, popcorn is an important ingredient of many a discussion, debate or fun related activity.

However, as much as it’s good of Linden Lab to provide avatars, destination guides etc, let’s not forget that this is a community celebration and a really good place to keep up with all the happenings is at the SL11B community website.
