OK..Soooo..those of you who have followed us for a while know that the SL Enquirer is a great place to learn about the hottest, clubs, entertainers, and sporting events on the Grid.
But did you ALSO know it is THE place to go to learn about "Systems" as well? Who knew, right? Well Folks, today we have come upon one of the undiscovered Gems of the System Community: SIN Tracker. Before you think “SIN Tracker? Sounds like a way to keep track of all the bad things I have done in my life. Well, thanks, but no thanks” let me set the record straight here. That is so NOT what this is all about. This is like the coolest way out there to find your perfect match or like-minded individuals for RP or anything else you have in mind as a way to add richness to your SecondLife experience.
I caught up with Clover McGregor, and she agreed to discuss this amazing system with me to share with our amazing SL Enquirer Readers.
Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB): So, Tell me, Clover. Just what is SIN Tracker anyway?
Clover McGregor (CM): SIN Tracker is a system designed for ADULT roleplay.
JB: Tell me more, please. I understand you have both a "Tracker" and a "Catalog" Can you tell me about each of those, please?
CM: SIN tracker is a scripted HUD that you attach to your avatar, set up a profile with your likes, dislikes, wants needs, desires/kinks add photos, roleplay style. It gives users the ability to find each other.
The Catalogue (Perverts Zone) contains the created profiles of people who have chosen to use the tracker, you can make your profile listing as detailed or as simple as you wish, add times when you will be online, use the anonymous messaging system outside of virtual worlds, search though people's profile to find your playmate, add profiles to favorites or ban profiles (because as we all know in virtual worlds not everyone is perfect)
I access it from work and doom scroll reading profiles! Once registered you don't need to be in a virtual world to be nosey or set up play for later.
JB: Where did the inspiration for the system come from?
CM: SIN was created in 2009/10 (yes, we are THAT old). We were inspired by the RDF system and that idea. RDF was difficult to work. The owner of RDF grew tired of SL and didn't want to update or change RDF. So SIN tracker was born. With time we have also added the additional features of lottery and the catalogue, with more ideas in the works.
JB: Who developed the system? When did it start?
CM: The creator and architect is iezious guisse, the system itself is managed by Shani Bellic, the design (up to the last version) was done by Aymeric Pelazzi.
JB: So then....will you be hosting special events, like a "Meet and Greet" for the users of your System?
CM: At the moment we have a number of 'social' events - usually unplanned, spontaneity is the key. Field trips - where we meet and visit some of our hunting grounds, there is also a Halloween Ball in the planning. There are plans to have more social events at Glass n Stone, and our club at Perverts ZONE which is SIN home. There you can pick up SIN tracker and register for SIN karma.
JB: You mentioned Hunting grounds, can you elaborate?
CM: Hunting grounds are a group of lands that encourage SIN Tracker users to use their land/play area. For Land owners it’s a simple set up.
We add a profile board to the land the board is attached to in the Pervert Zone Catalogue so it will show the profile photo of the girls and guys hanging out who are wearing an active SIN tracker.
Set up is simple and free. We provide the board, the activation and the advertising on Pervert Zone.
JB: I understand you have a weekly Lottery Game? Describe that, please? Once you join SIN tracker and set up your profile, you can register for SIN Karma.
CM: SIN Karma is a lottery-like matchmaking services, where you may be lucky enough to find a matching partner to play with or date, someone with similar adult interests. It chooses a partner for play for you. You aren't always successful! You are then free to contact one another to set up a date/scene. The lottery result is valid for 7 days!
JB: It sounds like a system like you have here will be kind of pricey for people to join. Is it?
CM: FREE, absolutely free however we would never discourage a donation, every single linden is appreciated. Additionally, we have patron should people wish to donate that way.
JB: Who would you see as the ideal user of SIN Karma?
CM: People who enjoy adult roleplay, in whatever capacity that is. There are many options to choose your level of play and involvement and who you interact with.
JB: Where can a person go who might be interested in learning more about the SIN Karma system.
CM: That's easy. People can go to the following location, No Perverts Zone (31,142,2502) - collect a tracker from the vendor.
