VO6 - Superstore in second life

Zeno_comomo — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:18:19 CST

SuperStore: We are going to rent a shop to run an auction business. Our businesses fields are listed as follow:

We are going to buy some cheap products for resell purpose. We may either buy some cheap products from others or create by ourselves. We would have one auction period for each day; people can come to our shop at the specific time lot and look for products that they want to buy. Bidder with the highest bid would get the product at the end of the relevant period.
Our shop would also serve as a “platform” for sellers who want to sell their products by auction. We would help them to sell the product by auction an thus charge a certain percentage of the selling price as a commission.

Payment method For working partner As we allow other investor can put their product on our land as a promotion. We will not get their rental fee immediately unless there is buyer buying their product. If no one buy their product, we will not charge their rental fee. This can attract more sellers putting their product in our shop as a promotion. So that buyer can shop many product once they visit our shop. For Buyer Buyer who willing to buy the product in our shop needs to pay the money immediately when they decide to buy it.

Summary of our business in Second Life

We provide a place for residents to dance and chat, i.e. a pub. Also, we run a open restaurant on the roof of the pub.

In the pub, it's not chargable and without limitation for coming. All residents are welcome. It aims to attract more residents to make our place be popular.

However, it's chargable in our restaurant and only members can take the seat for their meals. The waiter serves them with meals. They need to pay for it. We wish free use of the pub's equipments brings customers to our restaurant.

So we set up a community to indentify the membership for using our restaurant.

Wellcome all to join us in Second Life, The address of the pub: http://slurl.com/secondlife//37/238/23

ISU: Report on Second Life

IS3000_NL — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:34:49 CDT

Our group has used 2 computers to play Second Life, however, it may due to the heavy requirement on the capacity of hardware, we could not run the software normally.

Second Life is not only an online game, but also a "virtual society" to connect people all over the world. Inside, you can create an unique "RPG" to travel around, to chat with people, to dance and play with people, to do trade with people etc and etc.

Moreover, Second Life provided a virtual platform for us to create our own "heaven". We can use our innovation, creativity to build up different things liked Home.

Also, we can use "Teleport" to travel around different virtual gathering places, we can enjoy different cultures and customs and meet different people from different areas.

Second life is similar to SIM, an online game, but it is also a "Plaza" for gathering people to share information, knowledge, experiences.

However, the functions of Second Life are too complicated, we need donate time to practice more. It do provides a way for us to kill time...Hahaaaaaa!

emily_cat — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 05:02:27 CDT

After playing the secondlife, our team members thing this game is quite funny and exciting, because we can go to disco and dance with others.
Also, we can earn money by creating artifact. Moreover, we all enjoy to play this game, because we can make with those people who come from different countries. This game can combine learning with playing at the same time, it is valuable and useful. As a result, it can enhance the quality of learning.

However, there are some difficulties when we were playing secondlife:
At the beginning, we didn't known what we need to do, only walk around at the same place.
difficult to mearsure the dimension of the object.
