Forum:SecondLife

Does anyone else here take part in Second Life? A friend tipped me off to it some months ago, and I only finally got around to checking it out last week (late bloomer am I)... and I've absolutely fallen in love with the place. I'm even thinking about restructuring my sim, ARC undefined, to work in a SL setting.

Being as I'm a noob there, I'm not entirely familiar with SL's Star Trek or science-fictional worlds, but I do know they exist. I freaked out when I stepped inside Deep Space 9 for the first time. Some, I gather, are large & intense: There's one where you actually have to go through Starfleet Academy, replete with course-work, training simulations, the works, in order to make it to ensign... no quick walk-thru-the-park. Realistic. It takes a while to receive your first deep-space assignment. Some others take a shorter route. (Incidentally, I'm hoping to check these out tonight. If you're a SL participant, in any capacity, contact me! (here on STEU or via email) Familiar faces are always nice. I'm also hoping to find a Battlestar Galactica tier. I bet one exists. If not, I might just end up creating it.)

Anyway, the main reason I ask: I'm thinking these SL Trek worlds might be worthy of STEU coverage... but it could be a lot for one person to take on as a project. It'd be a lot for a group of people, for that matter. (If you've been in SL, you know what I mean. Very intense. Overwhelming at first.)

So, the original question again: Does anyone else here take part in SL?... and more specifically, the Trek aspects of it? If so (or even if you don't... yet), do you think this kind of project could be executed, or not? Why, or why not? All thoughts welcome. SAS undefined 04:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
