There is a new Banishment Processing Center at Zhora. I had noticed this when I went to visit Kelley Park last week after deciding to move on from my prior engagement. I was curious how it would compare to my prior experience. I know in some ways it looks to be more challenging. Maintenance every hour instead of every four, penalties if maintenance is missed, and no teleporting. I suspect I know why. It will keep the Banes a little more localized and prevent them from just disappearing off to a safe spot. Unlike the Kelley Technologies, it required having an RLV relay locked on. This could be a little risky if it's set to anything besides ask.
I spoke to the owner, Tom Wyoming, some last night, and share a little about my experiences with the Kelley Technologies Banishment Program. It seems Tom is trying to work on doing something similar.
And...
I went to go collected some images before making a decision... and oops, clicking on the processing unit I got grabbed... I thought I told the system deny, but I think my relay is being weird.
Well, I guess I am in this again for a bit...
Once again, I am taking photos of my experience. I don't know that I will have as many this time since I cannot wander as much. I forgot I could add them directly to Flickr until my most recent one.

I figured it was time to clear our some of my picks, since I am not really active with many of these any more but I like saving them for prosperity:

Drone S-102 Tai Yong Labs Pleasure Model
Another attempt at finding community and connection. I really enjoyed the premise and idea.
Pleasure Models:
Any Drone with the TYL Pleasure Model title is available for your use at the Afterlife club. Pleasure Models are programmed to obey your every desire at the club and pleasure you in whatever way they can. A Pleasure Model will never refuse use, unless it has an overriding command or is in use all ready (if a drone doesn't have sufficient time to properly serve, they may refuse).
While there is currently no charge for using our pleasure models, a recommended tip is appreciated of 200L.

Isolation
So I am starting to get this feeling of isolation again. And not the good kind which comes with Banishment.
Hanging around TYL and, well, it's pretty much like hanging around every other empty sim at this point. I've managed to earn the Test Subject tag, but so far that really does not mean much. I guess I should be used to this. After all, it's pretty much what I experienced with the Sisterhood while I was there. But, well, I guess I am a little tired of it. When I join a group or community it is with the (apparently) vain hope of having a sense of community and maybe, just maybe, a little play, and not to feel excluded and, well, isolated.
I will give this waiting around another week or so, but maybe I should just go back to being a Bane. I mean, if folks have no desire to have a role player with some pretty decent role play skills about then such is life.

A new beginning... of sorts
I've not written much since the conclusion of my banishement. Mostly it's because I have been wanding a bit around second Life trying to decide what direction I plan on taking next. Re-finding myself. Reconnecting to some of the core of who I was and who I want to be. Trying to piece myself back together, as it were.
Actively being in Banishment changes a person. Some more maybe a little more than others. But you can see it in others who have been through it. There is a level of connection there you just don't get with other things. There are something which I wish could have been a little different yes. And there are some aspects I wish I could have explored a little further. But overall I am still glad I did it.
I sometimes think about doing it again. Banishment I mean. They say they Custodian is completely nullified once the process if over. But sometimes I am not so sure. While I am not completely ready to adopt the Banesuit again just yet, as an option it's not completely off the table.
So I have been doing a bit of wandering, trying to find myself as it were. Dabbling a little in agumentation and cybernization. It seems to calm something still in me. Something I think I forget. or maybe tried to forget.
I've been spending a bit of time at Tai Yong Labs of late. The drones there are facticating. The TYL produced drones come in a number of different builts and designs. And the labs themselves acts as a sort of crossroads, with visitors coming from all over. I find it a captivating area and might stay around for a bit.
As a new friend I meet at TYL was telling me, banishment can be really extreme in its isolation. It might be a good idea to immerse myself in a place with a lot of intereaction.
The trick, of course, if finding that place. I guess TYL will do for now.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
It's sort fo neat to know I still have readers, even if I don't know who all of you are. But I can see the stats. I can see which posts have been recently viewed, and I can speculate.
Stay weird and thank you for everything.

Freedom
I know I've not updated this in a while. School and all have been keeping me busy.
Yesterday I managed to finish the additional time I had earned. I am now released and Sable Twilight again.
For a while.
The Banishment aspects were a good expedience overall, and I've been considering checking out the MoDesign implant or doing it again sometime.
Thank you to all the people who supported me through this process.

Well this is a pickle
So while waiting for my operator to show up to RP releasing me, I got an update.
22 hours of violation time added.
I cannot unlock.
And I am listed at the keyholder.
Considering I think the Custodian I have is not even operating with a Eudeamon development protocol in it, it's not even going to a very interesting 22 more hours.
Well I guess this is where I just find some place and sit now.

Way to be Less Accessible Second Life
So while I am waiting around for my operator, I decided to check out setting up a joystick to use for Second Life. I have a Rock Candy 360 type controller I have used to play Fallout and a few other games on my laptop, so I figured it would be perfect.
*laughs* well not so much it turns out.
While I could get it set up for things like movement and camera movement, I can't really get the X T B, D-Pad, or bumpers configured to do anything. Which is really too bad.
And then I found out there is a joystick Linden Labs does recommend for use with Second Life (and for which it is configured to use). The 3Dconnexion SpacePilot.
Any guess on what this lovely piece of hardware costs? Anywhere from $225 to $300, US. And it's not even deigned like a controller most people use anymore.
Yeah no...
So instead of making SL easily accessible utilizing hardware most of have access to or can afford, LL has chosen to almost exclusively support hardware which is simply too expensive and impractical for a large number of folks out there who might otherwise come in for a bit. That LL's target market is for folks who can afford something like the SpacePilot as their joystick means of interfacing certainly explains the pricing structure for things like land and such.
Now I am sure there is some way to get the unused buttons to do something (I would hope anyway?) - like maybe jump or touch or sit or space bar - but I've not been able to find it so far.
