I have a request, but I ask you to please allow me to give you some background information first. I am a seven year premium member. In real life I am handicapped, so Second Life is my only means of social interaction. I am unable to live alone in real life, so I have built a house and home on Second Life, this has given me much pleasure and I take pride in my virtual home. For the past two years I have supported myself with a job within SL, since I can not afford to bring money into the game, I just barely can pay the premium every month. Because of the new gaming region rules, on August 1st I will lose my livelihood, my home and 99%of my social interaction. My job is hosting GNG, and I live in South Carolina. please keep reading. I write to you because I am not the only one this is happening to, I am one of many. It seems to me there should be some allowance for those who are already employed in these establishments. I personally don't care if I play, I just want to support myself, and any job I could get that would pay as well as GNG is in the sex field which is not an option for me. I don't know how it is in the other affected states, but in South Carolina I can get on a boat at the shore that turns into a casino one mile out. The internet should be treated like offshore waters or at the very least be governed by the laws of the state in which the site is headquartered. If you must do this shouldn't there be some sort of grandfather clause that allows for employees affected to accsee the regions only to work? Please help us out, me and people in my situation have so much to lose.
