[18:28] Jessie Passerine: and rewrote it
[18:28] Ruby Lysios: i changed it also

[18:29] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...

[18:32] 已连接。
[18:32] Ding Atolia: and then I did the interview
[18:32] Ruby Lysios: maybe it took me 1 to 2 hour to write the news....and it is so difficult to interview people

[18:34] Jessie Passerine: both
[18:34] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:34] 已连接。
[18:34] Ding Atolia: because the first one i worked on is too general
[18:34] Jessie Passerine: because at first I was not sure about what to write
[18:34] Ruby Lysios: i changed to taiwan news topic...because emma emphasized that our news should be original
[18:35] Ellie Akiri: ok... next
[18:35] Ellie Akiri: What are some differences between Taiwan news writing and SL news writing?
[18:35] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:35] 已连接。
[18:35] Ruby Lysios: we are familiar with Taiwan and it's easier to think a topic
[18:35] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:35] 已连接。
[18:36] Jessie Passerine: 1. sl world is virtual and we have to use a computer to experience it.... which is not familiar to us
[18:36] Ding Atolia: Tw news can be something personal, using which to reflect something big about the society
[18:36] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:36] 已连接。
[18:36] Ding Atolia: but we have to explore the sl WORLD first before we write the SL news
[18:37] Ding Atolia: and for me, sl news is more formal
[18:37] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:37] 已连接。
[18:37] Ruby Lysios: it takes more time to explore the virtual world because it exists more possiblities
[18:37] Ding Atolia: yeah, good point

[18:41] Ellie Akiri: You all play different roles(writer/reader/editor/organizers) in News Discussion, do different role plays help you revise your paper?
[18:41] Ding Atolia: yeah, it was after I really explored it that I began to grow interest in it
[18:41] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...

[18:44] Ding Atolia: like reading perspectives, organizing ability
[18:45] Ding Atolia: and error-finding ability, if it can be called ability, haha

[18:45] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:45] 已连接。
[18:45] Ellie Akiri: ok, next... Do you review chat transcripts after online discussion? To what extent do you adopt your group members’ comments in revising news stories?

[18:45] Ruby Lysios: i did also
[18:45] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...

[18:46] Jessie Passerine: whicn is mentioned in the discussion

[18:48] Ding Atolia: and sometimes they talked about what they interested to know more, so it helped to expand our topic and depth

[18:48] Ding Atolia: disadvantages: computer skills
[18:49] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...

[18:49] Jessie Passerine: disadvantage: my computer always tet stuck...
[18:49] Jessie Passerine: get
[18:49] Ruby Lysios: i will think why we don't discuss face in face
[18:49] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:49] 已连接。
[18:49] Ding Atolia: becasuse i am not familiar, so sometimes i just get lost or hard to control myself, which wastes a lot of time
[18:50] Ellie Akiri: ok
[18:50] Jessie Passerine: that's right
[18:50] Ellie Akiri: how about advantages?
[18:50] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:50] Ding Atolia: but different from face to face, this give us the chance to save the script
[18:50] 已连接。
[18:50] Ding Atolia: and we can refer to the script in later revision process

[18:51] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:51] 已连接。
[18:51] Ding Atolia: also, i think the process to build the board is cool
[18:51] Ruby Lysios: the advantage is we could browse the news and link to the blog directly (is it a advantage?)
[18:52] Ellie Akiri: ok two more questions then you may go
[18:52] Ding Atolia: yes, i think so it's easier
[18:52] Ellie Akiri: How do global audiences on the Internet influence your writing and revision of news submission? Do they make you feel more like an author?
[18:52] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:52] Ding Atolia: ok
[18:52] 已连接。
[18:52] Ding Atolia: global audiences?

[18:54] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:54] 已连接。
[18:54] Jessie Passerine: well... when I was writing I feel more like an author
[18:54] Ding Atolia: i think the most possible audience we have is from SL, because that's where we situate ourselves. it's just we have a whole new world
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: but i think the "global audience" won't effect me about what i want to write or convey the message
[18:55] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:55] 已连接。
[18:55] Ding Atolia: before writing our news, we would think about what kinds of topic may interest others
[18:55] 正在连接到世界内语音聊天...
[18:56] 已连接。
[18:56] Ding Atolia: so that the news could have the potential to draw others' attention

Supporting “Relay for Life” in Second Life

The American Cancer Society-Relay for Life really relays.
With its posters around rotating advertisements for various events, the island named the American Cancer Society, welcomes those who concern about people with cancer. The three sculptures, each in the form of a woman, a father and his children, and a couple, stand in a relay line. On the stone tablets, the inscriptions read respectively: “I relay, so all the women who come after me can relay,” “We relay, for my wife and their mothers who can’t be here to relay,” and “We relay for both of us, so we can relay together always.”
We are all familiar with the fund-raising programs in reality, from advocating, launching, to finally sending to money to those we want to help, all of which will take much time due to the difficulty of practical work. Now, as the above example shows, Second Life-the representative of the ever-growing virtual world-has taken the initiative in raising money in much faster and appealing ways.
Mr. and Mrs. Damask, a couple both in Real Life and in Second Life from Texas, USA, have been volunteers in American Cancer Society for years. Mr. Damask, whose mother and wife suffered from breast cancer and managed to get through years ago said: “I don't want my daughters to hear those words.” Shortly after the cure of his family, he and his wife both joined the American Cancer Society. Having been an art auction lead for the survivors/caregivers art auction, Mr. Damask expressed his hope, as is what the motif of this island: “We relay for a cure.”
In Mr. Damask’s group along with many other groups, the art auction is held once a year for relay. First, the advertising is posted on the rotating board around the island. Then, a detailed advertisement including the time, place and other information is posted before the auction. Some of the paintings used in the auctions are imported by artists from real life. “The Relay is patterned after Real Life but is so much more impressive here in Second Life.” Mr. Damask said. Last year the SLRFL (Second Life Relay for Life) made $275 for the American Cancer Society.
Many other fund-raising activities are organized and carried out for different purposes in Second Life, like recovery for natural disasters, wild life protections, and environmental protection. They serve as platforms for people like Mr. and Mrs. Damask in Second Life who were helped by others in their lives to express their concern for others. As what the theme of American Cancer Society Island is-We Relay For Life.

an overal look

American Cancer Society-Relay For Life welcomes everyone who cares

Relay in Second Life, Relay for the Second Lives

American Cancer Society-Relay for Life in Second Life really relays. With its posters around rotating advertisements for various events, the island welcomes those who concern about people with cancer. The three sculptures, each in the form of a woman, a man and his children, and a couple, stand in a relay line. Beside them, the inscriptions on the stone tablets read respectively as following: “I relay, so all the women who come after me can relay”, “We relay, for my wife and their mothers who can’t be here to relay”, “We relay for both of us, so we can relay together always”.
We are all familiar with the fund-raising programs in reality, from advocating, launching, to finally sending to money to those we want to help, all of which will take much time due to the difficulty of practical work. Now, as the above example shows, Second Life-the representative of the ever-growing virtual world-has taken the initiative in raising money in much faster and appealing ways.
Mr. and Mrs. Damask, a couple both in Real Life and in Second Life from Texas, USA, have been volunteers in American Cancer Society for years. As Mr. Damask describes in my interview, his mother and wife suffered from breast cancer years ago; luckily, they managed to get through with others' help. “I don't want my daughters to hear those words.” He says. So shortly after the cure of his family, he and his wife both joined the American Cancer Society. Having been an art auction lead for the survivors/caregivers art auction, Mr. Damask expressed his hope, as what the motif of this island is: “We relay for a cure.”
There is an art auction once a year for relay for Mr. Damask’s group along with many other groups. First, the advertising is posted on the rotating board around the island. And then, before the auction, a detailed advertisement including the time, place and other information is posted. Some of the paintings used in the auctions are imported from real life of artists both in Real Life and Second Life. “The Relay is patterned after Real Life but is so much more impressive here in Second Life.” Mr. Damask said. Last year the SLRFL made 275K for the American Cancer Society.
Many other fund-raising activities are organized and carried out for different kinds of purposes in Second Life, like natural disasters, wild life protections, and environmental protection. They serve as platforms for people like Mr. and Mrs. Damask in Second Life who were helped by others in their lives to express their concerns for others, as what the theme of American Cancer Society Island goes-We Relay For Life.

Relay in Second Life, Efforts for the Second Lives

Relay in Second Life, Efforts for the Second Lives

Immediately after the news of the striking and horrific Haiti earthquake was released throughout the Internet, many people started to act, among whom were the avatars in Second Life who quickly take the “relay for life”. They set out to launch propaganda posters in Second Life, advocate to the entire virtual world, and raise fund to help to save the lives in Haiti.
We are all familiar with the fund-raising programs in reality, from advocating, launching, to finally sending to money to those we want to help, all of which will take much time due to the difficulty of practical work. Now, as the above example has shown, Second Life-the representative of the ever-growing virtual world-has taken the initiative in raising money in much faster and appealing ways.
Posters like this “Open Forum: Are There Any Second Life Fundraisers for the Victims of the Haiti Earthquake?” could be seen throughout the Internet. Through this way, various fund-raising organizations or individual fundraisers in Second Life are rallied together to start to donate money for the victims. “I'm starting to put together a two-day Music and Arts festival to benefit Haiti Earthquake victims. Planning funds to go to the American Red Cross for distribution to Haiti. Dates still to be determined.” A resident in Second Life responded to the advocating. “Hay everybody! I've decided to donate all the money I make from selling my hats at The Funky Chapeau for the next 2 weeks to help the disaster recovery!” Another resident responded in such a delighting and sincere way.
The “money” that is donated in Second Life is different from that in reality. The avatars don’t need to handle any real money; instead, they only need to donate the Linden dollars, the money they use in Second Life, to the pointed site, like the Red Cross Donation Site. Later the Linden dollars are converted to cash in reality by certain groups, saving the avatars many troubles.
However, there are doubts about this kind of fund-raising activities in Second Life because of the invisibility of the money-distributing process, as one resident responds “I pay attention to how much goes to admin costs and how much actually gets distributed to recipients”.
Many other fund-raising activities are organized and carried out for different kinds of purposes except natural disasters, furthermore, they serve as platforms for the charity organizations in reality, like the American Cancer Society and WWF (World Wildlife Fund), to raise more fund and help more people.

[19:10] Susie223 Chun: terrorists may take advantage of the game to handle funding, distribute radical ideas or expand their organizations
[19:10] Susie223 Chun: sorry
[19:10] Susie223 Chun: http://sonny5258.blogspot.com/2010/04/cannot-afford-house-in-real-life-buy.html
[19:11] Ding Atolia: it's a link
[19:11] Ding Atolia: sorry sonny5258.blogspot.com
[19:11] Ding Atolia: my story is so short...
[19:12] Jessie Passerine: i'll be the reader
[19:12] Ding Atolia: i want to focus on the good sides about the land issue in sl
[19:12] Ding Atolia: compared with reality
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: Many middle-class people who have worked fiercely for about 20 years get shocked when seeing their dreams of buying a new house breaking down
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: maybe break down?
[19:14] Ding Atolia: but i don't think I have expressed what I intended to say
[19:14] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:14] Ding Atolia: and i am really lacking in the background information about the land in sl
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: well , after reading the article. I think buying an house in second life does not actually helo the situation in reality
[19:15] Ding Atolia: so what are the aspects are you guys interested in land in sl or house?
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: it just offerred an escape temporaly
[19:15] Ding Atolia: haha good point
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: in reality you still cannot afford a house
[19:16] Ding Atolia: I think I can add it to my story
[19:16] Jessie Passerine: haha XD
[19:16] Ding Atolia: and change my focus
[19:16] Ding Atolia: not just the good sides but bojectively
[19:17] Ding Atolia: ruby
[19:17] Jessie Passerine: and the first time i saw the title, I thought it was an add from the game
[19:17] Ding Atolia: do you know more about the house building thing in sl?
[19:17] Susie223 Chun: haha
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: actually it's a good way to escape from reality
[19:18] Ruby Lysios: The past two decades has witnessed an ever-growing rate in the house price. i think the grammar is strange
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: not only buying houses or lands, but also the whole game
[19:19] Ruby Lysios: you might add the subject "we"
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: it's not strange, I think
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I think it's a sentence structure
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: because I once saw a similar grammar in a film
[19:20] Ruby Lysios: allright
[19:21] Ruby Lysios: it is a retreat for people in real life; they might but a resort and take vacation there
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: i want to make money
[19:22] Ding Atolia: yeah
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: could we pay mortage to buy house
[19:22] Ding Atolia: haha. i am also interested
[19:22] Ding Atolia: probably not
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: down payment
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: really?
[19:22] Ding Atolia: ...
[19:22] Ding Atolia: i am not sure
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: maybe you could search
[19:22] Ding Atolia: ha
[19:23] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:23] Ruby Lysios: and you could encourage everyone has his palace one day
[19:24] Ding Atolia: haha we are all princesses
[19:24] Susie223 Chun: I want to try decoration in SL,XD
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yeah i think i need to search these kinds of information more
[19:24] Ding Atolia: and show them in my revision
[19:24] Ruby Lysios: and you could also kick out the person that you don't want
[19:24] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can interview some peole
[19:25] Ruby Lysios: become a master of the land
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[19:25] Ding Atolia: yeah someone who has owned one
[19:25] Ding Atolia: just like the guy we just met
[19:25] Ruby Lysios: yes! you could add them friends
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: so ding~ how to build a house?
[19:25] Ding Atolia: who drove away
[19:26] Susie223 Chun: it's not difficlut to find someone with excellent decoration
[19:26] Ding Atolia: i think he is really into his land though he is so rude...
[19:26] Ruby Lysios: maybe you could go shopping and buy some furniture
[19:26] Ding Atolia: sorry, J, i am not sure either
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i will search more
[19:27] Ding Atolia: is there a second-hand store in sl
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i mean second-hand stores haha there must be some
[19:28] Ding Atolia: so we can save money
[19:28] Susie223 Chun: yes ,there should be
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: but people may nor know if the thing is used
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: that makes no difference
[19:28] Jessie Passerine: ok~ your essay aroused my curiosity in buying and building houses in sl. maybe you can add it in your story
[19:29] Jessie Passerine: some further information
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: i expect to know too
[19:29] Ding Atolia: you mean in sl, we cannot check an object-whether it's new or old
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ?
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ok, I will do it
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: whether it's new or old makes no difference
[19:29] Susie223 Chun: yes, they are all virtual
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: people might not aware of that
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ooooooh
[19:30] Ding Atolia: so the second-hand stores are useless
[19:30] Ding Atolia: haha
[19:31] Ding Atolia: maybe we should call it throw-away stores-things other people don't want anymore but useful to other people
[19:31] Ding Atolia: not throw-away exactly haha
[19:32] Ruby Lysios: and maybe you could sell the things you do not want and make money
[19:32] Ding Atolia: yeah that's what I mean
[19:32] Ding Atolia: so all advice taken and i will make more efforts ha
[19:32] Susie223 Chun: I see your point
[19:32] Ding Atolia: any other suggestions?
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: no
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: no
[19:33] Ding Atolia: or can we take a break now or at 11:00
[19:33] Ding Atolia: 10:50
[19:33] Ding Atolia: I think we can take a break now
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: i will be ok
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:33] Ding Atolia: ok

[19:51] Ding Atolia: wow~ your own experience is so...
[19:51] Ruby Lysios: haha
[19:51] Ding Atolia: hhaha
[19:52] Jessie Passerine: I visit “The Trister gay bar” and find it is very incredible and surprising
[19:52] Jessie Passerine: in this setence , maybe past tense would be properer
[19:53] Ruby Lysios: ok~
[19:53] Ding Atolia: yeah
[19:53] Jessie Passerine: because it's something you have done
[19:53] Ding Atolia: use past tense to tell a past story-that's what i learned from my last TW story
[19:54] Ruby Lysios: so should i use past tense in all that paragraph?
[19:54] Ding Atolia: we have no choice but become and ask to behave like a man or woman
[19:54] Ding Atolia: and is asked to
[19:55] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:55] Ruby Lysios: thanks

[19:56] Jessie Passerine: XD
[19:56] Susie223 Chun: I will be the reader this time
[19:57] Ding Atolia: the structure is not that well-ordered i think
[19:57] Ding Atolia: jumping from sl to reality
[19:57] Ding Atolia: i think after the introduction
[19:58] Ding Atolia: you can show your experience
[19:58] Ding Atolia: and then basing on the story to talk about more
[19:58] Ding Atolia: through comparison
[19:58] Ruby Lysios: ok~i will reorganise the news
[19:59] Ding Atolia: i am curious about one thing
[19:59] Jessie Passerine: this article is a general desciption of sex and also personal expience in second life . but I think that's not enough
[20:00] Ding Atolia: are all the people in sl really so open
[20:00] Jessie Passerine: while comparing feelings about virtual and reality
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: you mean the people in gay bar
[20:00] Ding Atolia: and there are no moral issue involved?
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: i think people become open because the environment
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: people would always be willing to know how different exactly it feels
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: like we might not be naked now
[20:01] Ding Atolia: oh, i see, interesting
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: you mean compare the gay bar people in virtual and real life?
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: maybe adding some other ppl's feelings about sex in sl will be better
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: for example
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: i could interview people in gay bar, but i'm a little shy
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: can they really get an organsm or something by doing it in sl?
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: yes!
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: go ahead and interview them~
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: they will have movement and get excited
[20:03] Ding Atolia: haha it's becoming more and more funny
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: just like watching porn
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: but you are the main character
[20:03] Jessie Passerine: wow~ that's propably what you can add in your story
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: i already add
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: i seems i should be brave and interview them
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: it
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: ask about their feeling?
[20:04] Jessie Passerine: yes~
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: why do they like to do it in sl
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: ok~joe will encourage us to do si
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: so
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: and what kind of sex do they prefer
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: because in real life, it couldn't happen
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: something like that
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:05] Jessie Passerine: XD
[20:05] Ruby Lysios: all kinds of sex could happen in sl, including sm
[20:06] Jessie Passerine: haha~ great~
[20:06] Ruby Lysios: ok! anything you are curious about, maybe i could ask, haha
[20:07] Jessie Passerine: prostitution!
[20:07] Jessie Passerine: are there any?
[20:08] Ruby Lysios: ?
[20:08] Susie223 Chun: no
[20:08] Jessie Passerine: becuase it's easy to find someone to have sex with in sl
[20:09] Jessie Passerine: is prostitution an industry in sl?
[20:09] Ruby Lysios: i think it exists
[20:09] Ding Atolia: hahha
[20:09] Ruby Lysios: so people could get money

[20:11] Jessie Passerine: http://jessieelsewhere.blogspot.com/2010/05/drugs-in-second-life.html
[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: phoebe
[20:12] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[20:12] Ruby Lysios: your news is related to mine, i think
[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: i want to teleport to other place
[20:12] Mi Shinn: ok
[20:12] Phoebe Isenia: do u want to carry me
[20:12] Mi Shinn: be back at 11:30
[20:12] Roxanne Kristan: ok
[20:12] Ruby Lysios: having sex with people is also free and legal
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[20:13] Ding Atolia: Being at your high not only happens in real life, but virtual world.
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: hey
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: we talk there ok
[20:13] Ding Atolia: is there a phase "be at high"?
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i am not sure
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: hey
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i think just "be high" is ok
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: we haven't taken a pic
[20:14] Mi Shinn: yes
[20:14] Ruby Lysios: you have some spelling errors
[20:14] Mi Shinn: your group needs to post group pics and news titles on the class blog
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: why are they interested in taking drugs in SL?
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: I mean it makes no differences ,you can't feel anything
[20:14] Mi Shinn: for your last week's Sl discussion and this week's discussions
[20:15] Mi Shinn: just news titles and pics
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: i guess it it's an escape from real life
[20:15] Mi Shinn: you can post transcripts on your personal blogs
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: something you couldn't do in reality because we are supressed
[20:15] Mi Shinn: also email me the whole discussion transcripts
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: but you can do in sl and nobody will interfere you
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: it makes no difference whether you take drugs or just normal medicine
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: maybe that's one reason
[20:16] Jessie Passerine: maybe it's just out of curiosity towards drugs
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: let's make a pose
[20:16] Ding Atolia: routine
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: but charlotte's pose
[20:17] Phoebe Isenia: hahahahaha
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: yes!you could also interview people there like me
[20:17] Roxanne Kristan: fall asleep
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: our dialogue is mixed with others
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: haha~ok~
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: right
[20:17] Ding Atolia: Buying drugs in second life is legal and free, and the same thing goes with sex industry there, that is probably part of the reason why this game got popular.
[20:17] Susie223 Chun: I think you can interview some people who have taken drugs in SL
[20:18] Ding Atolia: the sentence is not grammatical
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: she is away
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: how to take pic
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: her face is down
[20:18] Susie223 Chun: ask them about why they took drugs and how did they feel
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: me too
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: i know how to take
[20:19] Ding Atolia: may be change "that" to "which"
[20:19] Phoebe Isenia: but i don't know how to make my face turn to the lence
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: ic~
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: thx
[20:20] Ding Atolia: the past tense and present tense are mixed
[20:20] Ruby Lysios: and i think some young users would feel curious in drugs and sex, but in real life they couldn't do that because of moral issues
[20:20] Ding Atolia: you may need to check that
[20:20] Jessie Passerine: ok
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: maybe some conservatives would say we should ban laws in sl!!!
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: just a joke
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: it is impossible
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: no way~
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: XD
[20:22] Ruby Lysios: if it is banned in the second life, then the third life game will come up
[20:22] Susie223 Chun: did drugs cause any problem in SL?
[20:23] Ruby Lysios: burglary? prostitue?
[20:23] Ding Atolia: haha
[20:23] Ding Atolia: prostitute again
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: maybe just go interview
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: i think it's very interesting
[20:25] Ruby Lysios: maybe i couls go with you, haha
[20:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:25] Susie223 Chun: yes,that could be attractive
[20:26] Ruby Lysios: five minutes left
[20:28] Ding Atolia: so I'm going to keep all our conversation and post it
[20:28] Ding Atolia: on our personal blog or?
[20:28] Ding Atolia: and email to the teacher
[20:28] Susie223 Chun: ok,THX
[20:28] Ruby Lysios: maybe we could ask the teacher later
[20:28] Ding Atolia: and one more thing-I don't how to add the link to the headlines so
[20:28] Susie223 Chun: personal?I think
[20:29] Susie223 Chun: I will help you
[20:29] Ding Atolia: you three may take care of that part
[20:29] Ding Atolia: ok
[20:29] Susie223 Chun: ok
[20:30] Ding Atolia: so we've done here
