Red Light District -- Blue Light Special
|
 HEY HEARTUN ~ When I came to Second Life I looked around at a lot of jobs so I could make money so I could buy fancy clothes and a sweet little house. I started with pole dancing at a club. After a while I bought a nice enough skin and some animations and sexy clothing and I tried to be a model -- but I couldn't find anyone who wanted to pay me so I switched to being an escort.
I get clients, but most want to argue about my price -- which is amongst the lowest of any of the Escorts I know. Others want me to do gross stuff like AgePlay and Furies. What do I have to do to start making some real money instead of the chump change my patrons kick out? ~ IMA BARBIGURL
DEAR IMA BARBIGURL ~ A hot skin and a bunch of sexy animations do NOT a good whore make! The sex trade in Second Life is robust and a really good whore can get a ton of Linden for getting her (sometimes his) clients hot and bothered. But you have to paint a picture. The sexy pose balls and such are just props -- you gotta work hard for your money. You are selling fantasy.
First off, lets put aside this idea that you are having intercourse. You aren't. Virtual sex is assisted masturbation, sometimes assisted mutual masturbation. Seeing his avatar boinking your avatar is nice, but its the human element behind the avatars that excites him. You've got to find his fantasy first, then provide him with it. Best way to do that is to ask him up front. And you really have to listen, because being an escort is all about getting repeat business... and referrals.
 When he starts telling you about his fantasy, listen carefully and ask leading questions that draw out more details. If you can do this in a quiet place with a casual setting, like a lounge or a bar, that'll help. Even if you are chatting in instant message, paint the picture. This is also a great time to discuss your pricing terms and to get paid. Just like real life this is a cash up front kind of business. A little haggling is allowed on his part but if he tries to beat down your price much you haven't sold him on your ability to satisfy his fantasy. Go back to the beginning and talk up your features and benefits.
When the preliminaries are taken care of go to your love shack and engage him in dialogue that acts out his fantasy. Be detailed. Tell him what you are doing to him. Tell him how what he is doing makes you feel. Be poetic and graphic all at the same time. Learn to pace things. If he busts a nut early, be kind and offer him a complimentary back-rub to enhance the value of the encounter. If he's up for it in a reasonable amount of time, give it another go.

See You, See Me
|
 HEY HEARTUN ~ Sex in Second Life never really attracted me, I mean it isn't really sex... you know? And ever since I divorced my second husband I just hadn't given a crap about involving anyone else in my pursuit of the 'Big O' -- you know?
But this guy I met the second day I was in Second Life talked me into getting a web cam. Have you ever used one of those? (giggles) He's half my age (still quite legal, I'm no spring chicken!) but we start off playing in SL and soon enough (giggles) we've got our web cams going too and we're pleasing ourselves and IT'S JUST SO DIRTY I COULD DIE! (giggles)
I'm a mid-40's mother of five! And he acts like I'm a goddess! Oh, and Heartun, he is soooo hot! I didn't date men this hot when I was younger and looked my best. ~ DIRTY MILFSTER
 DEAR DIRTY MILFSTER ~ First off, just because you sag here and there doesn't make you too old for sex. The only organ required for good sex is the brain, the rest are certainly nice -- but totally not necessary if you can get turned on by someone (or by yourself!)
It sounds like you've got two issues going on here: you dig being a dirty, dirty girl and you are completely flattered that a hot young guy appears to dig you.
First, let me say that you are a dirty, dirty girl. Maybe you should ask your boy to punish you. He may be old enough to play, but may not know how to take charge and the art of being dirty involves dominance. So urge him to give you little tasks. If he can't come up with something, try to hint that it would be sexy if he were to order you to go to work in a skirt an no undies -- and send him an email or an IM from your workplace about how it feels. Urge him to take charge and to challenge your comfort zone.
Second, you seem to be surprised that a pretty young man would be turned on by a woman who's been there and done that. Don't be. This guy may not be in it for the long haul, but is that a bad thing? I mean, enjoy him until you find better or he loses interest! This is just good sex play! Young men aren't often faithful, but some of them are smart enough to know a good thing when they see it -- and you are so sexually repressed, bursting at the seams, served on a stick horny and ready to go you just scream 'fuck me hard!'
Have some fun. Don't hold back. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER

Therian Asks: "I Followed Him, Do I Let Him Know?"
|
 HEY MATTIE ~ I'm a 27-year-old female, working as a cashier in TN. I've been playing There for years with the same partner.
My man, (name withheld), started playing Second Life about six months ago. I don't think he came here to have an affair, but he kept the same name. I came here looking for him, but I didn't keep the same name and I know where he is because of his picks. How do I get the spark back in our thing? And do I tell him who I am? ~ BEEN THERE
DEAR BEEN THERE ~ I wouldn't tell him. I'd be afraid he'd think I was insecure and that I was stalking him to find out the secrets he's been hiding from me.
There are several ways you can go about this. Obviously, you can approach him anonymously and try to "spark" a new relationship. But if he ditches the There you for the Second life you -- is it rejection? How would you deal with that mess? And what if he ditched you alltogether if he finds out the truth?
A wiser person than me would tell him the truth. At least the part about who you are. Then explain that you might like to get to know him in SL as well, hoping maybe you can find that thing together that you were missing in your real relationship.
All-in-all, I would wish you the best of luck in any approach you take. But the best solution tends to lie in openness and honesty, in my opinion, because when he sees that you can accept him for who he is, regardless of what he's done in the past, or what you've done in your past, he will love you more and you will grow to love him more yourself. ~ MATTIE SWAIN

Sex, Drugs and Gay Fur
|
 HEY HEARTUN ~ I'm a homosexual who lives in Montana -- land of cowboys and intolerance -- and I live with my parents while I go to college. I want to get the hell out of this square, underpopulated, shit hole some day but for now I'm kind of stuck here. There are no gay bars or hangouts here. My only real outlet for my sexuality is here in Second Life, where I am a Gay Furry.
When I first joined I was such a slut! But since then I've settled down a bit and have had a couple of semi-monogamous relationships, one of which I am in now. This new guy knows some of my real life contact information too -- a post office box I keep for personal stuff. And he sends me Viagra and meth to enhance our sexual play. First I just tried the Viagra, and LOVE it!! but had been afraid to try the meth. My curiosity won out though, and I was blown away. The experience, especially when combined with Viagra, sex toys, and prolonged sexual play both on SL and through web cams, is absolutely amazing.
Now my lover is pushing to meet up in real life, something I'm not really comfortable with -- but he has the Viagra and meth, and I do like him even though I don't know that I trust him that much. I feel very vulnerable, but this is amazingly exciting! ~ MALE ORDER BRIDE
 DEAR MALE ORDER BRIDE ~ When I was in college I used to take my vacations and go cross country hitchhiking to visit friends and explore America. It was exciting! I got an incredible adrenaline rush whenever a stranger pulled over to pick me up. Most of the people I encountered were really quite nice and often very interesting. Unfortunately, a few were not nice at all.
It was a steep and painful learning curve, but I quickly learned to go with my gut right away. If someone pulled over to pick me up and in that 10 seconds we size each other up as I open the door and say "How far you going?" they -- in any way -- made me uncomfortable, I would back off. Many times I couldn't even put a finger on what it was about them that was unsettling. Often, like this one time on I-65 just north of Birmingham, Ala., I knew I was looking into the eyes of a serial killer or rapist.
Every time I said "Thanks for pulling over, but I think I'll pass" the driver knew I was basically calling him a perv. All of them would curse me out at that point. I'm sure I misjudged some of them. But every single time, early on, that I ignored my initial gut reaction I quickly regretted it.
MOB, I'm not going to lecture you on the dangers of taking drugs. You are old enough to know that you are tap-dancing on thin ice with that anyway. But regarding a real life hook up with this guy -- give it a pass. Trust your gut. You all but said you think he's got a dangerous agenda, and lets face it -- he is sending you drugs through the mail and knows you are in a remote place with a big secret, and are highly vulnerable. If you can't ditch the drugs I'm sure you can find a new dealer, no place is so remote that drugs can't be found. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER

To Grief, or NOT to Grief? That is the Question!!
|
Practically everyone hates griefers. All, that is, except for those who wear the title as a badge of honor. But what constitutes griefing? That is at least part of the problem. I mean, one mans griefing is another mans playing around. Even if you turn to the experts you won't get a clear definition like you would for – say – armed robbery. (IE: weapon, threat, exchange of money).
According to Wikipedia an act of griefing involves the following three actions to be considered grief play.
- The unfair use or abuse of a game mechanic that was not intended by the game's developers.
- The inability of the victim to exact some means of retribution beyond utilizing similar unintended game mechanics.
- The intended purpose of an act of griefing must be to negatively impact the game play of another person.
According to Wikipedia, all three conditions must be met to constitute griefing as well as some undefined game specific criteria set by the developers of the game.
So is it griefing if someone stands in the Violet Welcome Area and yells “Hooooo!” over and over and over? Wikipedia would say “no” but I challenge you to do it for an hour or two without facing complaints or getting reported. Or if you play Dark Life, pick up someone else's gold. Or go to the Barbi Club and push people around on the dance floor. May not be griefing to Wikipedia but its going to piss off people and they're going to call you a griefer.
Here Come Da Judge
I define griefing in much the way that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart tried to define “hard-core pornography” or “obscenity” by saying, “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced... [b]ut I know it when I see it...”
Consider all this as a preamble to an incident I witnessed earlier this week. A guy named SpaceAce Wormser (he consented for his name to be used here) along with three friends joined an AgePlay group that has an open membership and began sending instant messages to the whole group. I'm a member of this group, and many other fetish-oriented groups, to better represent readers of “Get A Life.” SpaceAce opened with, “So, I was thinking about getting up a group and going to the teen grid for the evening. Who's with me?”
A couple of his cohorts chimed in with “Sure” and “How do you get there” but within seconds a legitimate AgePlay member informed the group that they'd contacted a Linden to report the griefers. SpaceAce and his fellows went on to argue that they were merely role playing when they asked the group if any members were wearing soiled diapers.
“I didn't realize it was griefing to contact a group you are a part of,” said SpaceAce. “I'm sending a strongly worded email to the President of the Age Players of America, a (real life) group, I'm going to inform him of the intolerance of this group.”
While it was clear that the AgePlay membership were upset at being invaded by people whose only aim was to ridicule them, SpaceAce stuck to his contention that he was just having fun and if other people don't get the 'joke' they are just too uptight. He stuck to that contention in an interview with this reporter a few minutes after he left the AgePlay IM session.
“To be quite honest, the problem is, very few people on SL have a sense of humor,” SpaceAce Wormser told Get A Life. “People need to learn to have a good time, and even laugh at themselves... I did the same thing to a furry group the other night, and they had a blast with it. They weren't so uptight that they couldn't laugh at themselves.”
At this reporters prompting SpaceAce couldn't manage to remember which furry group he had joined to mass IM – but I went ahead and IM'd the 20 most popular Fur groups, including Furnation Community, Furry Artists, Furry Felines, Furry Singles, California Furs, and didn't get one Furry who remembered his alleged intrusion into their world. Considering that most Furs are in several groups at once, and combined membership of the groups I messaged topped three-thousand, it is hard to believe that none could remember the alleged hilarity put forth by SpaceAce and his pals.
“I don't remember him, or any griefers who were funny,” said noted custom builder and Furry EinHain Kavka. “There are only three reasons griefing is done: to get attention, to get back at someone or to impress others. What SpaceAce was doing (to the AgePlayers) is not griefing, but it is annoying, and probably abuse on some level. Therefore it needs to be addressed and punished if necessary.”
EinHain says Furries get griefed by individuals, small groups like SpaceAce's and by huge organized raids that are set up weeks ahead of time by people who run anti-Furry websites.
“That group of users will make brand new (Second Life) accounts specifically for the purpose,” EinHain said. Current Linden efforts to curb griefing “Is about as good as it gets... unless they want to have it so that making an account requires the user to prove they are really 18. I think most griefing is done by people under 18 that create accounts specifically for the purpose.”
Welcome Area Regular Babydoll Goodnight knows a thing or two about griefers, and she says she's seen SpaceAce around – but she doesn't consider him a griefer exactly. Not a griefer, but she says that even though SpaceAce has expressed interest in joining the Welcome Area Regulars none of the three group co-owners or its many officers have consented to let him in.
“He seems to take it personally when in fact our group has only one rule: no deliberate and repetitive griefing, so he's not gonna make the cut any time soon,” Babydoll told Get A Life. “I've heard him make very racist or intolerant comments towards a variety of groups. Joke or no joke, shock value or what not, that isn't something I want our group to represent so I'm very hesitant to include him.”
SpaceAce started a rival “Regulars” group that didn't go anywhere, and has since apparently disbanded. He has publicly acknowledged getting a seven day suspension from the game for his behavior in the past, so the Lindens are aware of his antics. They could perma-ban him but like a slew of other young people out to have fun – he has no payment information on file. He'd just come back.

USA Today Reviews "Get A Life"
|
TECH_SPACE Daily Notices on Science and Siliconby Angela Gun
Second Life continues to grow up, out, and weird. Now they're big enough to have not only their own crossover celebrities (the would-be-ubiquitous Anshe Chung), they've got their in-world backlash thereof. Those particular flames are fanned most entertainingly by Heartun Breaker, writing for the Second Life Herald. She's not entirely safe for delicate ears, but she is my new favorite advice columnist. (Are there others out there making DMCA jokes? No? Contest over.) Meanwhile, for a less exalted look at what needs putting right in Second Life, Reuters notes that SL has its very own police blotter, available for all the world to peruse. The place may have two million inhabitants, but there's nothing like a public police blotter to give a virtual realm that small-town feeling.
Thank you all for your continued support. Without you I would have to work for a living... and in SL, that means turning tricks at the Barbi Club or playing Tringo until my blood runs Mountain Dew. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER

Finger Banging Anshe's Mom
|
HEY HEARTUN ~ A couple of weeks ago I was listening to my radio whilst driving in my car and I heard that a lady was the first to make one million U.S. dollars in Second Life. This made me sit up and listen. Is it true that you can become a millionaire from Second Life? And where do I start and please don't answer by saying 'at the beginning' because I don't know where that is other than registering.
~ BOB'S YOUR UNCLE
 DEAR BOB'S YOUR UNCLE ~ Anshe Chung, Anshe Chung, Anshe freaking Chung... if I had a nickel for every greedy noob who joined Second Life because of some article in a business magazine lionizing her I'd be -– well -- I'd be Anshe Chung. The sad part is that if you talk with some of her competitors and associates, as I have, they'll all tell you how Anshe puts off this attitude that she is failing miserably. At the same time they'll tell you that public estimates of her income are vastly UNDER-reported. That said, Anshe Chung is a failure.
It's clear that what she wants is her mother's love and respect and she'll never get it. She'll never get it because I tracked down her mother and have a wonderful relationship with her. In short: I finger-banged Anshe's mom. Stack up all the Linden space bucks you want Anshe, I win.
As for making money in Second Life, there are a few tried and true methods.
- LAND SPECULATION
Anshe doesn't have a lock on buying land in bulk, improving it, then selling it for a bundle. You could also try opening a shopping mall.
- MAKING STUFF
Make stuff people want to buy, then sell it. Household products, sex toys, skins, clothing, weird gestures – the sky is the limit (well, I guess you can't make a mirror.)
- BEGGING
It's annoying, but a lot of people do it for a while. Just don't ask me, I hate beggars.
- WHORING
Don't knock it till you've tried it, even if you are a straight man. This is actually quite popular, and at most dance clubs it is apparently considered an honorable profession.
- SKILLED SERVICES
If you're good at improving land but don't have the money to buy any – hit up a land baron for a job as an architect. Or find something else people will pay for... like business consultation services, proof-reading profiles, photography, professional friend, surrogate stalker, singer, artist, etc.
- PAWNSHOP/MIDDLE MAN
Buy up things on the cheap and sell them for more money than you paid. Works in real life, works in Second Life if you check the objects permissions first.
- BUY AND SELL MONEY
Once the game of governments and Wall Street moguls, you can take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations and make money at it. Just remember, it is high risk.
- CAMPING CHAIRS
Get paid to sit in someones land. Go figure.
- BLACKMAIL/BREAK THE LAW
If you are a burly man in real life but you play a woman so that you can whore for money (see #4) you can keep an eye out for a serious homophobe, film the encounter (and copy Ims) then threaten to expose him if he doesn't pay you more. You can also do other quasi-illegal things like start a Ponzi (pyramid) scheme or grift.
- POLLS
People will pay you money for your opinion.
- GAMES OF CHANCE/SKILL
Go gamble. There are a ton of casinos, as well as Tringo, Slingo, Bingo, Greedy Greedy and a slew of other games. Then there are races involving boats, cars, motorcycles and the like.

I'm Still Twitchy About AgePlay
|
 HEY HEARTUN~ Ok, I can see that (AgePlay) is role play too... even though, personally, it makes me a little twitchy... but (and I ask this without rancor) if AgePlay is simply 'role play' why should it be kept to non-public venues?
I'm not talking about sex between AgePlayers... I mean, just being in their juvenile avies and maybe flirting and such. Grosses me out, but should it be relegated to private sims?
I really don't know the answer either. I mean, I'm SUCH a backer of the 1st Ammendment that so long as no one is being hurt or infringing on the rights of others.. this should all be ok. Then again, like many, it kinda grosses me out. And although I trust that the vast majority of AgePlayers really are just goofing around in a way they like and would get upset to find out their partner was really a kid... part of me worries about my RL kid.
I'm totally conflicted on this one. And I know that, at least with my kid, there's no way she'd come on here acting as a kid. If I allowed her (I wont!) she'd pretend to be much older than she is. I think most tweens, teens and such would be like that. But I'm still twitchy about AgePlay. ~ CONCERNED PARENT
DEAR CONCERNED PARENT ~ I conveyed your concerns to a representative AgePlayer who consented to an interview on the subject -- and in my experience AgePlayers are rather shy to talk with those not engaged in their form of role play. Here's what he
"I understand why you'd be concerned... (but) AgePlay is just as the name implies -- it is 'play.' I personally don't play the role of younger, but any time I role play or anything like that I always try to find a way to confirm the (real life) identity of the person I am chatting with. I think most people do that," an AgePlayer told Get A Life. "Most of the 'AgePlayers' in Second Life aren't doing anything sexual, they simply role play a younger person in family situations -- like role playing a father-daughter relationship."
AgePlay is a hot-button issue anyway. As a society and a species it is incumbent upon us to protect our children. Parents, and anyone who watches Dateline NBC, know that there are predators out there looking to abuse children.
I think if everyone was certain that all AgePlayers shared their real life concerns for the protection of children there would be no problem. But some AgePlayers -- perhaps a small minority within AgePlay -- do sexualize children. So long as that sexual play is kept between consenting adults I think most people -- while perhaps uncomfortable with the notion -- don't have a serious objection.
The problem lies in that playground reality that anyone different is suspicious. If we don't understand their actions, we don't understand their motives. Worse than that... we assign to them motives that make sense to us, with our worst fears laying down the basis with which we project those motives.
There's also the problem that you can not prove a negative. It is impossible to prove, in any real sense, that there are NOT child predators mixed in with AgePlayers. However illogical this condemnation is, it is the kind of stigma that sticks. It is the same fear that prompts us to tell our children to stay way from all strangers, even when we know that the vast majority of all adults would do them no harm.
"If everyone is obsessed with what's right and what's real, why would people come onto a game like Second Life and (role play)," our intrepid AgePlayer asks. "Trust me, there are far to many griefers out there who have nothing better to do than criticize waht others do."
I suspect that while some of these, lets call them 'hyper vocal critics' of AgePlay, are acting on well-meaning (but perhaps misguided, and often inappropriate) fears -- there are also pleanty of people out there who just use AgePlayers as an easy target for their grief. Griefers do what they do to feel important, when they are often very impotent. They want to feel superior to something. If not AgePlay, then something else. On the playground, they were the first to criticize your shoes, the way you walk, the way you talk -- and cull you from the heard of kids by pointing out any difference in you. Then they would feel the power they crave by crucifying you for your difference.
Dear Concerned Parent, take care of your children. Keep them away from all online games or chat rooms where they could be subject to predation. Just don't allow your fears to manifest as persecution of others because they are different. If you know of an AgePlayer who IS a pedofile -- report them. Otherwise you should assume they are just engaging in a role play that makes you feel a bit icky, and that's it. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER

Scat Lover: Take "Two"
|
 HEY HEARTUN: When I came to Second Life and discovered the Scat Lovers group I cried in relief. You see, I'm a 35 year old management executive - but ever since I was young and first heard Frank Sinatra singing Strangers in the Night - there's that great bit where he goes 'scooby dooby doo a dooby doo doo' (you know Scooby Doo was named after that line!) Well, from then there was no stopping me - and I was soon into the hardcore stuff. Louis Armstrong. Cab Calloway. Even a few Bing Crosby recordings.
But I find few people share this love a vocal jazz improvisation - and Im so glad at least to have found a group in SL that seem sure to fill a hole in my life. I can't wait to get in touch with a few of the group members and start hanging out together. Just opening up to new friends, and sharing a common deep seated love is sure to be inspirational and life changing. ~BIBBLEDEBOP SCATTER
DEAR BIBBLEDEBOP~ Ok, I try to take all posts seriously but yours is so obviously a parody of the Scat Lover article I recently posted. That said, I still think you should join the Scat Lovers group. They're a fun bunch, and they really know their shit. (Heartun sings: Skit skat skadoobie... waaaaa!) ~ HEARTUN BREAKER

Sapphic Sophisticate
|
HEY NIYATI ~ This question isn't really for me; rather its for all those young men who think its cool to cross dress and look for lesbians. I'm a lesbian (online only) and am often recreating at the Isle of Lesbos. The other night this female avatar called (real name substituted with 'Betty') showed up and yelled "Hey, anone want 2 fuck?"
Needless to say the 40 girls present responded with LOL's and LMAO's but Betty was serious. With her noobie sandals and Orientation Island stock avatar (the brunette one) it was pretty clear that Betty was an alt. And her behavior made it clear she was really a young man, perhaps a boy. I never understood this kind of behavior, but Betty isn't alone. There are a lot of people out there like this. Do you have any advice for them? ~ SAPPHIC SOPHISTICATE
DEAR SAPPHIC SOPHISTICATE ~ Is this like when you ask a question for your "friend"? I have no control over who someone wants to be in SL - you yourself are a lesbian only in game, right? I am not going to tell a guy that they shouldn't have a female avie - it is totally their choice to be who they want to be.
Yeah, it sucks when a newbie guy with a female alt appears on the Isle of Lesbos. It's annoying -- they are lame -- but mute is a wonderful thing. And, honestly, they aren't hurting anything.
If a man really wants to have hot lesbian cyber sex they need to keep in mind that women are not stupid creatures and if they think they've "tricked" a woman into cybering with them, they are totally wrong - it's probably another man. If that's your deal then great. If not, reconsider what you are doing, put a little time into your alt and live as a SL transexual. SLers will be totally okay with that. Oh, be sure to tell your "friend" my answer. ~ NIYATI KLATA

What Do I Do With My Profile?
|
HEY HEARTUN ~ Some people put their real life pictures in their Second Life profiles, most people just say something like 'not your business.' I don't know what to do. Why would they (Lindens) put in a place in the profile for a first life info? ~ PROFILE NOOB
DEAR PROFILE ~ There are are four basic uses for the 1st Life section of the profile, and I've asked someone from each approach to tell us why they do what they do.
- "Another 2nd Life bio page" "I don't want to share my First Life, but I hate how little space the Lindens give us in the 2nd Life section. So why not put some 2nd Life stuff in the 1st Life area? Waste not, want not." ~ ANONYMOUS
"Go Away" "A lot of people put too much judgement on how you look in real life, so to save from all the drama I leave the 1st Life seciton blank. There's enough drama anyway. Why invite it?" ~MELISSA BRANNAN
This is me!" "When I was a reporter in the real world I was in the public eye, so I am confortable with people knowing a little about who I am. I don't give a ton of info, but have a somewhat blurry (and flattering) picture of myself, my age, the city I live in, and my new occupation. I don't give my real name, or any info you could really track me down with. ~HEARTUN BREAKER (ok, I got lazy and interviewed myself. lol)
This is me! (but a lie) "I like role playing so some times I pretend to be someone else in my 1st Life bio. I've been a NASA astronaut playing SL from the International Space Station, a homeless down-and-out former dot-com guru playing on the street from stolen connectivity and electricity routed from an electric traffic signal, and a very fat mother of six who is living off the dole in a Mississippi trailor court. Its just fun. Besides, everyone lies in their bio -- I just do it better than some. ~OUCHQUACK STERN
So, dear Profile, there are no clearly defined rules for the 1st Life bio section. As for what they Lindens intended, I put that question to Second Life Liaison Hermia Linden but she declined to comment. No help there, I'm afraid. Makes you wonder what a liaison really does here in SL, if not answer simple questions like yours, dear Profile. ~HEARTUN BREAKER
