Seanchai Library Partners With Firestorm Community Gateway for Spoken Word Venture

Firestorm Social Island, Second Life – Among the longest active literary programs on the Second Life grid, Seanchai Library will be partnering with popular Third Party Viewer developer Firestorm’s Community Gateway to bring spoken word events and content to their ever-growing audience of new users.
The project will begin with the return of the popular Storytellers’ Sandbox series, which Seanchai Library recently launched, producing three sessions as part of their Crazy Eights project with a Linden Endowment for the Arts grant. The series provides a forum for new stories, new storytellers, and new ways to present them. “We have been brainstorming for a home for this event ever since we closed Crazy Eights,” said Seanchai Lead Caledonia Skytower, “It is a great forum for introducing new voices to the virtual spoken story community. It also provides more experienced voices a chance to explore the incredible possibilities for immersion in a virtual performance experience. Sets, avatars, effects - there is excellent work being done in all these areas, both from the story-initiated creators, and by visual artists sharing the narratives of their work. The limitations are always time, prims, and the ability to draw an audience.”
On Sunday, August 7th at 3pm slt, the first Storytellers’ Sandbox at Firestorm Social Island will mark the launch of this new partnership with six voice performers presenting a mix of original tales and short stories in a showcase of live virtual storytelling. Long-time voices, such as Dubhna Rhiadra and Shandon Loring, will present tales, along with the relatively newer voices of Bryn Taleweaver and Hana Hoo. “This first session is meant to accent the variety of tales and possibilities,” Skytower explained, “ so we have deliberately chosen to avoid a theme.”
“Crap Mariner and Caledonia have been around forever, are so well-connected in their community, and their skills compliment each other. They are the perfect team to be leading this.” added Firestorm Founder, CEO & Project Manager Jessica Lyon. “We really want to expose new residents to the broad possibilities of what they can be involved with in Second Life: music, role play, art, and of course spoken word is a part of that. I am really excited about what Seanchai Library, with these two coordinating this particular effort, can bring to our Gateway.”
Seanchai Library has been an active presence in Second Life since 2008, with Caledonia Skytower and Shandon Loring as its Lead Staff since 2012. In addition to Seanchai, Caledonia also produced StoryFest Events, which presented four annual festival style live story events: StoryFest, Bard on the Virtual beach, BOOFest, and The Dickens Project. In 2015, StoryFest Events was merged into ongoing Seanchai programming. Skytower has worked with Fantasy Faire,Magicland Park, Avatar Repertory Theater, the University of Washington iSchool, and was the chief architect behind the recent Crazy Eights project at Linden Endowment for the Arts region 9. She works with Shandon Loring in developing the Library’s branches on InWordz and Kitely, taking the lead on the “Explore” projects which partner with real world organizations to develop virtual learning tools for audience augmentation of performing arts experiences.
The Firestorm Community Gateway userbase poses a new challenge for the Seanchai storytellers. “Most of the audiences at our events are veteran Second Life users, who have to deal with the occasional frustrations of Voice issues in Second Life. Firestorm Community Gateway introduces hundreds of new and inexperienced users to Second Life. We’ll find ways to leverage the power of Second Life and the skill of the ever-present and patient Firestorm Support Staff to quickly diagnose and assist these users with Voice so they can enjoy these performances as part of their early Second Life experience.”
Longtime Second Life resident, spoken word veteran, and Seanchai Friend and Performer R. Crap Mariner of the 100 Word Stories Podcast joins the partnership as an organizer, planner, and all-around grunt-of-all-trades. “I heard Jessica Lyon in an interview at the 13th Second Life Birthday, and she called for performers and events at Firestorm’s Community Gateway. She even invited me to perform there, but my material doesn’t quite fit the G-rating of their regions. I turned to my friend Caledonia Skytower and suggested that we put together a greater Spoken Word Project. We both look forward to bringing workshops and other events that will introduce the new users to spoken word, and introduce spoken word communities to new audiences, members, and participants.”
Plans for additional events that introduce poetry, writing, and other spoken word and literature opportunities are in development. More details will be available on this partnership over the next several months. Seanchai Library will continue to present their weekly story sessions, Monday through Thursday at 7pm slt, and in various weekend sessions on their home parcel at the Community Virtual Library on the Bradley University sim (http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/Bradley% 20University/100/209/28) as well as their branch on the InWorldz grid, and on the Kitely grid on the open metaverse. R. Crap Mariner will continue to produce his daily 100 Word Stories Podcast and conduct readings inworld at his Clocktree Reading Room (http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/Edloe/128/128/29)

Is it dangerous to give robots a certain level of intelligence? Could they turn against us? They might be given power they are unable to cope with, such as the robot that ran over a toddler. Or they might think it is in your best interest. What if the McDonald’s robot won’t serve you because your fat-index does not allow it?
Is it possible that we will reach a state where everyone has to function within normal parameters or be terminated? Are we about to hand over our freedoms to silicon matter?
Today we discuss the dangers of giving power to our possible future masters. Join us!

UNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPTS OF COMMERCE: An in depth interview with Abranimation's Abramelin Wolfe - Dean Lawson Reporting
Wednesday, July 20, 2016

No comments
While investigating
potentially harmful scripts in Second Life I contacted Abramelin Wolfe, the
owner of Abranimations and sent him questions to help me understand
how scripts and commerce works in Second Life. Abramelin explained in great
detail some of the potential pitfalls Second Life Residents should watch out
for. The following are excerpts from our conversation.
Dean: According to your response it does not
seem that you believe that the script was introduced to the item by a third
party but is in fact commonly used by legitimate vendors. Is that correct?
Abramelin: Yes, and
this is not a specific script. ALL scripts that take debit permissions
display this warning, the most common of which are vendor scripts as they are
dealing with money transactions. Our affiliate vendors allow customers to sell
our items and take a commission. They need permission to take money for
refunding over payments and paying us the commission.
Dean: Based on my research, when an item is
rezzed a message appears on the screen as follows; “Object wants access to take
money from your Linden Dollar account. If you allow, this it can take any or
all of your money from you at any time with no further warning or request.”
If I see this message my reaction is to click
"deny", because I do not want an object to take my money at any time
without further warning. Why would a legitimate vendor use a script with this
type of message? Are there no other scripts that vendors can use?
Abramelin: Yes it also
says after that... 'Before allowing this access, make sure you know what the
object is and why it is making this request, as well as whether you trust the
creator. If you're not certain, click Deny.'
That above statement
makes all the difference. Legitimate vendors use this type of script because
there are no other scripted ways to take money from an Avatar. You always need
them to specifically give you permission. In the case of a vendor though you
cannot have it ask every time because it needs to be left out for other people
to purchase from even if you are offline.
Linden Lab gives you
this warning to make sure you know what the script is and who it is from. As I
already mentioned, this is not a specific script displaying this message. This
is a warning given by LL when a script requests debit permission. If you do not
know the source of the script or trust the source then you should always click
deny.
Dean: Do you feel the use of this script in
objects that are affiliated with your business could damage the reputation of
your business?
Abramelin: No, We have
commission vendors for our ice skates because we have been asked for them a
gazillion times, especially around Christmas. I think the warning LL gives
quite adequately explains the risks, hence the conversation we are having, but
also explains that there could be legitimate reasons why. Affiliate
vendors are common place in SL and this script function has always existed in
SL. If anyone is uncomfortable granting debit permissions they can and should
click deny and not use those vendors. It’s really no different than passing
your credit card details to a company over the Internet. If you do not know or
trust the company you should not do it.
Dean: How is it possible for a customer to pay
too much for an item? When I have paid for items in Second Life, a message is displayed;
"Buy for L$(amount) from (name of vendor) underneath is the option to
"buy" or "cancel". Could you explain how I can accidentally
overpay in this type of transaction?
Abramelin: The vendor
script dictates whether it has those quick pay buttons or not. If a vendor is
not specifically scripted to have them it displays a box where you can enter
any amount. Originally all scripts were like this actually, the button feature
was added to SL much later. Some third party viewers possibly do not support
those buttons either so even if it is scripted with them they may not display.
This is just one situation though...there are actually loads of other scenarios
where you might need to refund. (eg. Rental booths giving bulk discounts. Some
transaction failures can be detected and refunds issued automatically. Some
vendors that contain inventory might need to refund if the inventory is
missing...and the list goes on.)
The thing people need
to remember is that drop down warning is a one warning fits all solution. The
warning will be displayed in all cases where debit permission is required. It
does not and cannot display different messages depending on the situation or
script.
Dean: If a script is used to extract a share
of the proceeds from an affiliate vendor, should the script clarify the
percentage being extracted?
Abramelin: Yes people
certainly should understand what the vendor is for before they use it.
Affiliate vendors by their nature extract a commission. Our ice skates vendor
for example is labeled ‘Ice Skates Affiliate Vendor (30%)' and the instructions
note card also explains it is a 30% commission vendor. The vendors we use
cannot run until this debit permission is granted. Once it is running though
they also have an Admin Panel accessible that shows transactions and
percentages and some other info.
Dean: Who writes the scripts used by your
affiliate vendors?
Abramelin: Our store
vendors are scripted either by myself or use Caspervend (by Casper Warden). The
ice skates affiliate vendors use Caspervend which is very respected and trust
worthy. No one else creates any of our vendors or has access to our scripts.
Thanks for answering
my questions, your help is appreciated.
Abramelin: No
problem, hopefully your article can shed some light on this for folk in SL so
they understand the message and what it means. I've seen this concern come up
over and over through the years, but it’s mostly due to people not
understanding what the message is telling them. The debit permission function
is not a fraudulent function by itself. It is only fraudulent if it is used in
a fraudulent way. It has many legitimate uses too. The above ice skates
customer that contacted you was quite right not to accept permission with the
ice skates as they did not understand why it was being taken. What I think I'll
do is put the affiliate vendor inside a box in the package so it cannot be
attached accidentally with everything else. I think the confusion probably came
from everything being attached out of the box without looking at what the items
were.

A Sane Lunatic Just Rambling about the World and its Increasing Ludicrousy
Monday, July 18, 2016
anonoymous, culture, gamers, gaming, online, opinion, people, real life, second life, virtual world
No comments
We live in a world controlled by technology. There are
over 7 billion people on this earth; about 6.5 billion have a cell phone glued
to their hand or in reaching distance. Now with the Pokémon craze, many have
found a new reason to be more entranced by their handheld devices. I speculate
more trips to the ER with injuries related to not paying attention in public, the
divorce rate will jump another 15% and within 5 years babies will be born with
a genetic disposition to anti socialism. That is assuming people will have
actual sex for conception purposes. Some
people just don’t have the time for the kids they have or the donor of the genes they need to reproduce. Call me
crazy rightfully so but am I making enough sense to at least land a job at a
local Walmart as a greeter?
Anyway, why bother even looking up from a screen anymore
when all forms of communication are taking over old fashion face to face
engagement?
We’ve become a society bored with each other and more
self centered. If we took a look at our Facebook feed we can tell who had what for breakfast, lunch and or dinner,
stupid meme’s about life goals people don’t even follow, opinions about the
mundane and just stupid selfies with the shameless duck face. Some have even
mastered the perfect camera angle to eliminate double chins and all the rolls
they have accumulated since the last time anyone seen them in public. Nothing
seems to be real anymore. Most seem to trudge through life molding perceptions
about themselves but not even owning up to their own reality.
The SL Enquirer sat down with a rambling lunatic to talk
about the world through the eyes of the utterly deranged and for the love of
humanity I make more sense than a person not loaded with medication.
What the FUDGE is going on around here? I have no
flipping clue but who cares anyway? It has been approximately 15 hours since
I’ve lifted my head from my phone to even absorbed the chaos that swirls around
me. I may be wearing the same clothes for the past week, hardly had any sleep
but I sure love the life I live. At least I think so, ask me that when I’m off
meds and I might break down crying because it is my crutch. Or maybe I just
can’t help the way my emotions change from hot and cold.
There really is no main objective to this article. I was
asked to ramble on the record so I’m seizing the moment while I have at least
one person’s attention.
If I was normal, I’d work all day for someone else and
their unrealistic expectations, enjoy 2 breaks and a half hour lunch. My back
would hurts and the corns on my feet will grow by the day in these damn shoes.
Besides that, I’ll have no time to sit on my ass for a second to even check my
calls, personal emails, Oh yeah or even spend quality time with my family. Right now, I choose to ramble to the masses
and get everything off my sloppy hairy chest because I’ve been given this
monumental opportunity. I love the SL Enquirer and all that it stands for. It
gives anyone a voice that is willing to take advantage of it. By you reading
this is served a purpose. I just either wasted your time or made you reflect on
your own life.
That is more than I can say about those who share their thoughts
in character limited posts on social media just waiting for someone to like or
comment on it. I could give a blind flying nun on a broomstick what anyone
thinks but it sure felt good to just ramble about the world and the decline of
intelligence.
That leaves me with one question for you. How do you see the
world?

Thousands of Second Life Residents from all across the real globe joined together on July 16 and 17 for the 12th Relay Weekend of Relay For Life of Second Life and celebrate.“It’s incredible to see how this Relay has grown over the last 12 years,” said Stingray Raymaker, American Cancer Society staff partner. “That first year, 2005, there were 315 Avatars walking the track to bring attention to the importance of cancer research. This year more than 3,000 will take to the track. We have become the largest fundraiser in SL and other virtual worlds.”Relay Weekend kicked off at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 16 and featured 24 hours of themed laps, activities and entertainment. The weekend wrapped up with a massive party at 1 p.m. PDT Sunday, July 17.For those who could not be at the Relay sims, they tuned in to T1 Radio, at T1radio.com, which aired the festivities through Relay Weekend.“Our 2016 season has brought about outreach like no other season” Said Random Padar - Darrow, 2016 Event Chair. “We have over 60 new teams this year. At every team event we have seen more and more new faces. I am thrilled that our Relay Weekend is almost here! We will begin with an opening ceremony beginning at 10am on July 16th, followed by our Honor Lap for our survivors and caregivers to walk proudly. At 9pm we will hold our always inspiring and touching Luminaria ceremony. As I walk through our sims this year I see some amazing builds! Team campsites along with special designer sims will compete for awards that display cancer education and theme inspired builds. Once Upon A Cure season will go down in the history books as one which was filled with stories from our passionate Relayers, while working to write the end of the story!”Relay For Life of Second Life is an annual activity that takes place in Second Life in July each year. Volunteers form or join teams to have fun while fundraising and raising awareness from March through mid-July. In July, teams build campsites and walk a track, just like in a real world Relay. Over the last eleven years, Relay For Life of Second Life has raised almost $3 million for cancer research and is the largest charity event in the virtual worlds. Several thousand volunteers from more than 80 countries participate each year, truly making it a global event.There are many ways to get involved in Relay For Life of Second Life and another way to show your support is through sponsorships. Relay For Life of Second Life is proud to have the following as premier sponsors: RGF Estates, Rockliffe University, Sol Existence and Runestone and other sponsorships are available; please contact the Cathy10 Longoria, Sponsorship Lead or Random Padar, Event Chair for more details.Keep up with the news on Relay For Life of Second Life through it’s website, Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr pages:
