JonnyPancakes: did you guys see mky link for gamesforchange.com?

brooklynmg: i did, that is great

oly: you can go to my world on the chair across the wall too

brooklynmg: i think that can be really helpful

JonnyPancakes: yeah, it has a ton of social action games

JonnyPancakes: so, who are we missing?

brooklynmg: i think just stephanie

brooklynmg: but she mentioned she might be a little late

oly: man we need some chairs in the house

JonnyPancakes: haha

brooklynmg: i was just thinking that

alswid: haha for next time.

brooklynmg: we all look mad

brooklynmg: haha

JonnyPancakes: my knees are solid gold

Naea: lol

alswid: i know, with the hands on the hips

JonnyPancakes: i dunno if bending is possible

brooklynmg: you are looking great – golden man

oly: i took the short 5 minute tutorial and it really helped

alswid: ill have to check that out

Zmitm398: same here

Naea: yea i took that as well

brooklynmg: me too

Naea: lots of good info

JonnyPancakes: so let’s first decide on an overall feel for the world….

oly: and the more you are on the more coins you get

brooklynmg: ok

JonnyPancakes: start off simple

oly: you can buy cool lil gadgets

JonnyPancakes: what kind of place shall we make it

Zmitm398: I spent about an hour earlier on here building in my own world

JonnyPancakes: an indoor environment?

JonnyPancakes: and outdoor playground?

brooklynmg: i like outdoor playground

alswid: me too

brooklynmg: or neighborhood 

JonnyPancakes: me too

Zmitm398: me too

JonnyPancakes: enighborhood is hard i think

alswid: neighborhood-esq

oly: the cool thing is we can add other worlds to portal to

JonnyPancakes: but doable

JonnyPancakes: yeah, portaling is neceessary

JonnyPancakes: perhaps we can make an offshoot world for a few specific things

JonnyPancakes: like make this the main hub

oly: if you go to metaplace central there is a coiuple worlds that use that technique

Zmitm398: The playground should be our base, then we could add portals

JonnyPancakes: and make topic specific worlds

JonnyPancakes: yeah

JonnyPancakes: greed

brooklynmg: that would be good

JonnyPancakes: agreed

oly: exactly!

JonnyPancakes: ok

alswid: sounds good

oly: with links to the web

Zmitm398: yes

JonnyPancakes: so then we need to figure out 3 or 4 specific topc to cover

oly: and maybe video/photo

JonnyPancakes: absolutely

Zmitm398: and other learn zones

oly: exactly

JonnyPancakes: a library could be fun too

alswid: thats a good idea!

JonnyPancakes: interactive, of course

Naea: lol i was just about to say that

oly: i think we should split things up to make the work load manageable

Naea: they have them in second life

brooklynmg: did you see that library in 3d squared’s world?

JonnyPancakes: yes

Naea: virtual library

brooklynmg: i thought that was cool

Zmitm398: I agree

JonnyPancakes: we need to assign responsibilities

brooklynmg: ok

JonnyPancakes: so first…

oly: let’s split things up to make it easier to deal with

JonnyPancakes: we’ve decided on a playground for our hub

JonnyPancakes: that’s done

Zmitm398: so have we determined if more than one can be signed in to the world to build?

JonnyPancakes: now we need the portal worlds

oly: how many total are there if us?

oly: are htere of us

alswid: um, i can check the wiki

oly: typing sucks

JonnyPancakes: haha yeah

JonnyPancakes: this is a bit tedious

brooklynmg: i think we are missing stephanie, mark, michelle and ozan here

brooklynmg: so 10 of us?

Zmitm398: Mark is here

brooklynmg: i think?

JonnyPancakes: ok, so let’s brainstorm about portal worlds

brooklynmg: oh sorry

Zmitm398: thats me!

brooklynmg: you’re right

brooklynmg: haha

JonnyPancakes: nice dancin!

alswid: there are 11 people

oly: i think 2 per portal?

Zmitm398: sure

oly: and maybe all on the main?

brooklynmg: so what will the different portals be for?

oly: with one managing?

JonnyPancakes: yeah

brooklynmg: so i understnad where we’re going with this/

JonnyPancakes: this will be the main hub

JonnyPancakes: 1) library

JonnyPancakes: we need a few others

brooklynmg: cafeteria?

oly: well, aren’t we trying to match fractors ideas?

JonnyPancakes: good idea!

brooklynmg: bike shop?

JonnyPancakes: we can cover issues like starvation

JonnyPancakes: and things like that

brooklynmg: good call

JonnyPancakes: in the caf

oly: cafeteria = starvation

Zmitm398: nice

alswid: that is a really good idea.

alswid: kind of ironic

JonnyPancakes: and how to make asian chicken salads

alswid: but good.

alswid: haha

JonnyPancakes: delicious ones

brooklynmg: haha

Naea: hahahha

alswid: recipes love it!

JonnyPancakes: good

oly: bike shop = energy conservation

JonnyPancakes: so a caf with recipes

JonnyPancakes: yeah

JonnyPancakes: Great idea!

JonnyPancakes: so 

JonnyPancakes: 1) library

JonnyPancakes: 2) caf

JonnyPancakes: 3) bike shop

JonnyPancakes: nurses office

oly: yes!

brooklynmg: cool

oly: world health issues

JonnyPancakes: ok good!

alswid: dealing with heatlth issues

JonnyPancakes: so we have our portals

Zmitm398: That is good

brooklynmg: excellent

oly: YAY!

Naea: some sort of weather center for natural disasters?

JonnyPancakes: exactly

oly: good one

JonnyPancakes: ohhh

JonnyPancakes: good

oly: we can add more if we find it becomes easier

JonnyPancakes: what can we do for that?

JonnyPancakes: school paper?

oly: hmmm

brooklynmg: maybe that can be the “paper boy”

JonnyPancakes: newspaper office?

JonnyPancakes: yeah!

JonnyPancakes: good call

JonnyPancakes: perfect

alswid: newsstand?

oly: even better

brooklynmg: that works too

Naea: yea

JonnyPancakes: and then paperboy for that

JonnyPancakes: good

oly: it could be here

oly: and the newspapers could link out

Zmitm398: yes

JonnyPancakes: excactly

JonnyPancakes: great idea

alswid: that is awesome!

brooklynmg: i think 3d squared has a newstand we could use for reference

Zmitm398: Wow, great ideas for only being on here for 3 mins

oly: oh yeah

JonnyPancakes: they will all link out… the site i linked to has tons and tons of scoial issue games broken down into category

JonnyPancakes: we can post tons of links to it

oly: we can get things out of google marketplace or something like that

JonnyPancakes: and the games are kinda fun

oly: for objects

Naea: HAHAHHA

JonnyPancakes: yeah, we should def RSS feed some social issues

oly: i can’t stop dancing

JonnyPancakes: global

JonnyPancakes: hahaha

Naea: thats funny

oly: there i stopped!

JonnyPancakes: haha

alswid: okay, so do we want to volunteer for the portals?

oly: i wonder if we can twit outta here?

JonnyPancakes: hmmm

JonnyPancakes: maybe

JonnyPancakes: ok

JonnyPancakes: so wanna assign portals?

JonnyPancakes: or shall we work on them all

Naea: what are they again?

alswid: library

JonnyPancakes: it might be good to have everyone’s input in the portals though

alswid: cafeteria

brooklynmg: i agree

Zmitm398: can we do a rotation?

JonnyPancakes: nurses office

JonnyPancakes: newsstand

oly: maybe we can put them on our page and see since there are some of us missing

brooklynmg: plus, i think it will be better since some people are better at the building aspect

JonnyPancakes: ill post the portals on our blog when we’re done

oly: i like building

JonnyPancakes: yeah

oly: i spent 2 hours last night playing

JonnyPancakes: e all need to work on the portals

Zmitm398: initially assign, then rotate thru

brooklynmg: so that way if we’re all working and contributing to all of them, we’ll get more accomplished

JonnyPancakes: yeah, it’s fun

alswid: i haven’t tried it yet

Zmitm398: ok

alswid: okay, that works

JonnyPancakes: ok

JonnyPancakes: good…. so let’s spend this next week building this playground

JonnyPancakes: and work on the portals in the following weeks

Zmitm398: That sounds good

brooklynmg: so how are we each contributing to the playground?

alswid: okay, wait

JonnyPancakes: we need to make the hub impressive

oly: let’s make sure to have a sign up sheet so we know hwo is doing what

alswid: so is the newsstand going to be in this portal and link out?

JonnyPancakes: like a wiki I imagine

alswid: or is it seperate?

JonnyPancakes: we all add and make edits

JonnyPancakes: toward a common playground theme

JonnyPancakes: can we download additional objects?

Naea: ok

oly: yeah 

Naea: yea we can

JonnyPancakes: ok

JonnyPancakes: then we’ll need to do that too

JonnyPancakes: so let’s plan to have the playground done by Monday

JonnyPancakes: if we all work it won’t be too hard

oly: i really think we should have some type of assignment as we go so things are always getting done

Zmitm398: I plan to log in a little each day

brooklynmg: should we be working on the game aspect of this, too?

oly: i know the playground but how are we going to map that out?

JonnyPancakes: i just dont know how we can assign this part though

Zmitm398: That way I can see the changes and coninue to add

JonnyPancakes: everyone needs to do a little at a time and build and add off other people’s work

JonnyPancakes: like a wiki

brooklynmg: ok

JonnyPancakes: I think…

alswid: ok.

oly: ok

brooklynmg: another thing i think we should be doing is 

Naea: yea that sounds good

JonnyPancakes: i really cant think of a way to assign specific tasks in this

brooklynmg: researching some sites for vlolunteer/social action

JonnyPancakes: the game part i think comes last

brooklynmg: ok

JonnyPancakes: let’s build the hub world first

JonnyPancakes: then get the portals done the following week

alswid: kk

Zmitm398: yes the hub is first

JonnyPancakes: we can assign specific portals for that for each person

Zmitm398: this is our key starting place

JonnyPancakes: but we’ll talk about that next Monday when the hub is finished

oly: so playground then

oly: main hub

JonnyPancakes: I think so

JonnyPancakes: does that sound good?

Zmitm398: yes

alswid: sdounds good to me

oly: sure

brooklynmg: yep

Naea: ok

JonnyPancakes: ok cool…. so our goal for next Monday is getting this world done
