<br /><br />the game seems, at least it does to me, to be Philip's social experiment designed for the expression of love and one's mental projections of self. your mileage may vary. we each have our own point of view, of course. <br /><br />there's really an extraordinary amount of gifted people here. and, surely the artistically challenged or socially inept find it easy to "play" (use your own term here) with anyone who they can hurt/prey upon. <br /><br />how is it that the slim minority of shit slingers in SL are given such popularity when in the real world they are marginalized and set aside to play in their own little world until they have to conform to established norms? <br /><br />polite society (and maybe that's where the problem lies since the relatively young players want nothing but to disturb any status quo) cannot exist where those who harm others are looked upon as heroes and heroines.<br /><br />can we live together in the same world? IN the world, yes, with all subsequent rules we've established being firmly policed and administered. relating to the game as if it's just another internet first person shooter seems to degrade it to a level any gamer realizes quite readily. <br /><br />the state of mind these gamers inhabit (who do not immerse themselves and are not able to release the demons of their minds in roleplaying - imagining - expressing all selves of their being) needs some help. the day may come when the utility of SL will be realized.<br /><br />or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
