That was something I had experienced at Asphyxiation Point as well - the personal greeting by the owner, Deranean Sands. Some time had passed since I concluded the interview with Deranean, and I had moved on to catch up with and interview Phedre. My partner and I had visited AP a few months prior and thought to see if we could put together a small roleplay scene of our own to see if we might enjoy it enough to apply to become citizens. As we sat and enjoyed our breakfast at the diner, Deranean had private messaged my partner and me separately, welcoming us to the sim and extending an invitation to message her or the admin team should we have questions. Here is someone that knows the power of customer service! So far, I had spoken to the sim owner and one of the admins, but I wanted to hear the perspective of a new citizen and so I reached out to Savvy Moyer. According to Savvy, “Sav Moyer is currently “officially” unemployed. Unofficially he is in the import/export business of.... commodities of questionable legal status.” I asked him why Asphyxiation Point appeals to him. He says, “I have been RPing in Second Life for years, and several people mentioned I needed to check out the SIM, so I came to check it out, and saw an opportunity to create something different than what I have done in the past.”
