It's actually very popular, although I've never tried it. There are various reasons that I don't want to get involved with it, but if enough FOFC people wanted to play together, that would probably get me started.

i'm still reading everything you can do with it. it's immense. and free.

obvious there are some premium modes that allow you to do more, but this seems to be so huge of a game. insane.

I like the general concept of it. Judging from what I've heard, though, the place has an unimaginable number of cliques and factions, and some of them actually have quite a bit of power. I know some people around here think that SkyDog is a little touchy on the "penalty box button." Generally, what I've heard is that the powerful people at Second Life are quicker on a button than Ken Jennings (the guy who won on Jeopardy! all those times).

To everybody who's thinking about trying this, just keep in mind that you may be asked to "behave" even if you feel that you've done absolutely nothing wrong. All it takes is a complaint from one person from a certain group, and you might be in trouble.

Again, this is just what I've heard from several people.

Ugh. That picture reminds me of another type of group on Second Life (although I don't think they have very much power).

The patch needs to include the ability to be a werewolf. A werewolf that can drive.

if you're telling me there's an outbreak of overally affectionate shirtless mutants who cradle stuffed llamas then i'm so in this thing.

tell me everything you know about Secondlife. i'm intrigued by hardcore things, and something tells me there's this whole underworld of people doing this. i hate not being in the know.

I wonder if it is possible to create your character as some sort of violent murderer. I mean is the whole game just a a big civilized society where there is no crime, no violence, and everybody gets along?

I would think about joining if you could create some sort of mafia and take over the game.

If you could do absolutely ANYTHING, I'd play to piss people off and maybe kill them. But if it's just chatting... eh.

I would almost kill him, leave him hanging on a thread, then kill your character, and return to kill Dr. Dre.

Exactly. Like rob all of the rich people. Or be that annoying neighbor. Or try an entice women into extramarrital affairs. Or vandalize other peoples stuff. I mean, come on, its not real life.

Well, people can't "die" in the game, so the killing is out. As far as pissing people off, that will get you banned.

So if people don't die, wouldn't it become over crowded. And doesn't over crowding cause violence in most cases?

i want a game that's like Grand Theft Auto, but is a MMORPG. i want to digitally walk into a kindergarden classroom and start slapping digital 5 year olds. i swear, i can't stand nerds. it's those people who want to take over digital universes and exert their control so that they can't get attacked by us "cools". i just want to kill people and punch random strangers in the face and run away and not get into trouble. this sucks. now that's my ideal Secondlife. my first life is a law abiding, tax paying citizen. i want an alter-ego.

Now that would be a game! Second life sounds too boring. Ya gotta spice it up and throw in some hardcore stuff. So many possibilities to HA's version of second life.

in my version of second life, i wouldn't wear pants. i'd log into message boards and post NSFW pics, i'd even go so far as to not "hxxp" NSFW links. i'd roll with a big posse and kick people off their seats on the train. i want to toss rocks over highway overpasses and see if i can hit the windshields of cars.

i'm tired of playing by the rules, i want a game that simulates a world without order.
