Bad Event Idea #664: Best of Doomscrolling
“You can't get PTSD if you are the traumatic event”.
Many of the "Best Of" events in SL had the most ridiculous themes, made all the more funny by the event hosts not realizing how bad the themes sucked. I satirized these themes ages ago with the “Best In Demo” event in SL.
Imagine Avatars using pre-mesh shapes with huge hands and feet, and flexihair with “demo” signs attached, or the word demo as part of the hair texture. Add in skins extensively tattooed with “demo,” and clothing tagged as demo in some way, and you have a nightmare of an Avatar – and possibly one that wins the “Best In Demo” event. It was hilarious, and so popular that other clubs copied the idea. You can say my “Best in Demo” event was a demo for Best In Demo events.
Creators in SL put a demo tag on their products to prevent people from using the free version as a final, permanent piece. Then came OS. Sadly, there are no demos here, and so, no Best In Demo events either. But there are other fun event ideas, like “Best In Complexity”. Here is the most recent idea found in the OSW group, "Best of Bad Event Ideas."
