The events everyone looks forward to seeing. Drums beating, firesticks twirling, lamplighters dancing. People will be cheering and yelling.
IF .......you do what you can to reduce lag and set your viewer up for optimal viewing. Here are some things to do so we don't all end up stuck in lag or suddenly find outselves on a crashing sim. Swimming through molasses (lag) is no fun!
Remember we're all there to see the man burn. So we don't care how newbie you dress or if you're bald and shoeless. Pat yourself on the back if you can come in with an ARC of 1 and a script count of 1. As someone on tv says...It's a good thing!
- Prim clothing and attachments
- Prim shoes/boots
- Prim hair
- Excessive use of high resolution textures
- Animation overriders (AOs) and other attached HUDs, including avatar radars
- Highly detailed jewelry
