In Second Life, we don't have an active or effective government and sitting on virtual Obama's desk for a casual conversation on issues is totally useless and unrealistic.
We all have opinions, pet
peeves and things we wish were different about Second Life. At times it feels
like the Lindens don’t hear our concerns or address our needs. Many feel like
they are left to fend for themselves. If you had a chance to be
President of Second life and stand on your soapbox, what issues would you
address and what changes would you make?
The SL Enquirer polled some
avatars and here is what they had to say…
Cris
Nightfire, Studio 777 Manager, MR., President of SL
“As I have been the self appointed President of SL for
the last 4 years, I have decided to step down and allow my opponents to have a
shot of it.”
Weeblewolf
Pinion, Owner of Wolf Howlz Radio
“wow .. over my head ... I am just a jukebox”
Harmonia
Trefoil, Premier Singer in All of Second Life
“Citizens of Second Life. I come before you today to
address the state of singing in the SL nation.
If you have not become aware of the music scene in SL, you are missing
the best talent in the world. Our live
singers are entertaining and professional.
The shows are a lot of fun and at some you can even win some Lindens. Let us not forget the DJ's of SL either. Most take requests and dedications. So I hereby decree that every citizen go to a
live show starting with the President of SL's show ME!” Harmonia Trefoil
Numbers
Rossini, Commissioner DCWF
“I would address the issue of men playing women on here.
I go to a club, I’m chattin with some redhead, blonde or otherwise, finally
they get on voice and sound like Barry White. WHAT THE F*Ck!”
Ava
Jhamin, CEO Owner L'Amour Model Management L' Amour Nexus University
“If I was President of SL the first thing I would do is
fire all the jerks who claim there is so much new and were going in an amazing
direction with all the shit that is wrong.
Let's talk about this for a minute what exactly is wrong and what would
I do to change it”.
1. I would make
sure the game is running like it should be.
I would bring in some IP people from Korea since they actually know what
they’re doing.
2. I would not speak in front of a group of
people and say that everything is a bowl of cherries when obviously they are
not.
This includes but not limited to!
a. Lag issues (solve
it)
b. Loading
inventory issues (solve it)
c. Issues with
Server Side Baking (fix it)
d. Issues with
mesh (fix it)
e. FIND OUT WHY PEOPLE CRASH AND NO EXPLANATION
NO MESSAGE JUST POOF GONE (FIX IT) dealing with this for over a year and
half.....SL blames third party viewer, third party viewer blame SL and both
blame individual computer. I would stop
the nonsense as President of SL (FIX IT)
f. Figure out a
way before even think about new platform how to transfer lindens and
inventory. As President of Second Life
this is just not an option. As President
if this is not done you will lose all the players and money you make on this
game. Some individuals have millions of
lindens invested take it away and they will walk away.
“As President of Second life the excuses will stop. There will be many changes made and make this
a game for the people not to line the pockets of myself or others within the
infrastructure of the game. As a side
note there will also be committees for some of the industries on second life,
fashion, designers, photographers where strict guidelines will be adhered to or
they will be removed from the game”.
The role of president has to be one of the toughest jobs
to handle. It takes thick skin and a strategic mind to handle various public
issues and make decisions that the majority of people will be happy with. Second Life is
full of issues and concerns, many of which have yet to be addressed or resolved
by the Lindens. This has caused frustration in the SL community. It was interesting to see the various candid
responses from avatars and what they would do if they were President of Second
Life.
If
you were President of Second Life, what would be your first order of business?

SL is a business, not a country. It's run by business managers and IT wonks, not a government bureaucracy. Posing useless questions like this is a waste of time and makes the 'editorial' staff of this rag look as moronic as the idiot who self- appointed himself as 'PRESIDENT OF SL'.... LMAO.
ReplyDeleteIf this site is moronic and a rag, why do you even bother commenting and responding? And of course always anonymous! An organization can have a democracy and the gov red tape if they want it. Hence in SL you have covenants, estate rules, rights, group rules and rights and a bunch of other regulations.
Delete*sighs* Thank you for your comment anonymous. I appreciate your opinion and all. I hope you can appreciate mine when I say Second Life means different things to different people. Let them share their personalities without passing judgment on them. As for the direct comment towards me as the moronic editor in chief while trying to down others who simply contributed to this question, you should ask yourself why you are so sour and quick to throw daggers. I've always found it funny when people make comments like yours anonymously. I simply ask questions and try to include community commentary. This is a community news source where anyone can have an opinion. If you don’t like what you read here. Simply, don’t read it. Have a nice day.
