Ceka Cianci Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Second life is a type of virtual world.. The others are types of virtual worlds as well.. They all have certain things in common that make them virtual worlds.. A lot call it a virtual internet.. The way LL designed it ..It sure looks and acts like one.. So maybe it is a virtual internet and not just a virtual world.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowl Paine Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 "I'm here to play games with you". That would be an interesting way to approach other Residents. It wouldn't be my first choice. If a Resident enjoys playing games and believes SL is a game, then it is games you will have when interacting with that Resident. I believe games can be played and are played in SL. The magic of Second Life is "it's your SL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not second life itself but something like it..It may or maynot happen..But you can bet it's based on it..

Well, that's how *I* view our Keli. However, whether Keli is an Entertainments Manager or a Manager of Entertainment, or a Manager to be Entertained, that is no more up for discussion than whether SL is a game or not. :matte-motes-nerdy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayalily Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Am I in a bad mood today? No, not really. I was in a fine mood until I saw the title of this thread with the picture that already answers itself. Title: Do you Play Second Life: Answer: No I just log in and stand there in one spot, have myself on mute, and then I log out again. Of course we play in SL. That question already answers itself. A better thread title would have been: Do you play sports in SL? Not in a bad mood, but I would like some interesting threads that don't involve whether SL is a game or not.

I agree, one should look for signs or something written on the car to indicate that it is a taxi. I believe that games are and can be played in SL. My SL is not a game. If other Residents believe it is a game, so be it for them. All I can do is to try to honor their wishes by not treating them seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggy Paperdoll Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If it's not a game, then it must be real.........at least that's what I'm hearing. That's really beyond the pale. Next you'll be telling that that Picaso painting is real too...........no, it's a real piece of art but it ain't real. And the movie "Avatar" is real too? Come on, you need to get "real" in your own life..........it's the immersion that causes many to loose sight of reality. And that's not healthy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- People who refuse to recognize that the word game has a specific meaning are living in a fantasy. By your definition one could say that just about anything is a game, even life itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Petrov Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Welcome back to the thread, Maya. I understand you are expressing your views regarding the motivations of the OP. However, only the OP can speak to her motivations, right? You are answering the OP for everyone with your statement 'Of course we play in SL.' Thank you for not answering for me. If you have an idea for a 'better thread', post it!! I promise to come participate. Did I say 'welcome back to the thread'? /me smiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canoro Philipp Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 i am not saying that SL is a game for everyone all the time and thats all that it is, i say that second life with its flexibility, it can be a game if the user decide it so."A game is a competition within a controlled environment for the sole purpose of deriving please."a game don't need competition to be one, there is a card game called solitaire that is not designed to compete against anyone, we have a controlled environment and for some users its sole purpose is deriving please.a game is a form of entertainment in which you interact following some objectives under certain rules, which makes talking to your friends, watching tv, not games. admiring art, or use it as a tool to express aesthetics or ideologies makes art not a game.you make it what you want it to be, you have the elements in front of you to be used, why not it can be used as a game? to be a vampire and bring blood to your clan, or become an explorer and walk across the grid, to be a reporter and write notes about events in second life, i am not implying that is a game to everyone, it is a game for the people that use it that way.

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Honestly, Mayalily, you sound like you are jealous of Keli and the fact that she is well-liked here! Perhaps you could give us an example of "interesting threads" by starting some of your own, since you find this one so deficient. I really don't see the purpose in coming into this thread and saying the things that you have said. I'm sure there are people who don't care for the threads and posts you write, but they don't insult you, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayalily Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well, we don't just stand there, never move, and have our ownselves on mute. Of course we play stuff. I peeked into the Vanity thread and saw oh about three or four pictures. I saw your photo of the wood nymph (very creative design, btw), so you're really a wood nymph and not playing one? I play a fairy on SL sometimes, and sometimes a mermaid, but I'm not one in real life tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
