That is said so many times, and I think I even started a post about that.... gotta find it and hit the publish button. Sera, I'd rather say that we find people that are adequate to us. If one search long enough, there must be a stupid's sim somewhere. Vint, you hit the point. FL forces us to play. Raul, exactly my point. I was not thinking a game necessarily as a computer game. There are many ways to play. Nebadon, I would not agree that SL is the future of the internet.

In my opinion this not makes SL exactly a game, at least no more then RL, so it will be a game (SL or RL) if you want it to be. Really interesting article.

Real life and SecondLIfe? You both can play how you like it. In SL and RL, you can just watch how others play their game of life, and complain that you don’t have it. Or you can be creative, entrepreneurial, interact with other people and enjoy it the way you want it. Of course there are always some rules you have to apply to but don’t let them stop you to live your dream, to play your own game, RL and SL!!!</em> With the minor difference that in first life you are somewhat forced to play, if you do not wish to starve. ;) Zippora took the words right out of my mouth and phrased them even better then I could, so I second:

The one thread I've seen is the people in SL are uncommonly intelligent. Second Life is a special place.

And a lovely sim too :P For myself I started off thinking Second Life was just a silly game and that it was a complete waste of time, i put off for months even trying it out, i had a preconceived notion in my mind of what it was and that i would have no part. Then I finally tried it out and within days i was totally hooked, and for me it became quickly more than just a silly game, for those lacking vision i could s ee how they could label Second Life as "Just a game" i was the same way before i opened my eyes to the possibilities, but those who can see past the now and into the future can see that Second Life is not only more than a game but its a soon to be way of life and quite possibly the future of the internet and more. I quite enjoy expressing myself in many ways in Second Life that are just not simply possible in real life. The SLonopoly sim is a good example, when i was building it I wasn't doing it for any other reason than to just make something interesting that others could enjoy, Second Life is an amazing place to release your creativity and to me that is much more than just a game, and those lacking the vision to see that will probably always just be playing games, in Second Life or Real Life for that matter. great article.

"It's just a game" is a bad excuse to do mean thngs. I usually think that problem with mentioning the game is connected with someone's fear of ruining the immersiveness. Which, most of the time, makes not much sense. Yes, I completely forgot about that. “It’s just a game” is a bad excuse to do mean thngs.

"It's just a game". Your definition of a game - a series of challenges you set for yourself for the purpose of enjoyment and fulfillment - I can totally agree with. I really feel like my time in SL is filled more and more with goals I am pursuing for my own enjoyment and for the entertainment and enjoyment of others, and I'm liking it a *lot*. Hiking, stories on the LJ, my future house, the Extropia SIM, better ways to moderate the salons we've been going to, building, scripting, shopping - so much to do, so little time ^_^; Thanks for once again putting into words something that I've been thinking about lately but haven't been able to articulate. --Argent out I think people get touchy about the term “game” becuase it’s so often used as an excuse to do mean stuff to people. “It’s just a game”.
