Platform Expansion proposal

Kiles1 · Post by **Kiles1** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:12 pm

I know how we are allways looking to recruit andnew members and to investigate new platforms. I will propose people consider and investigate deeply the idea of using the multifacited platform of SECONDLIFE.
1. its a pretty impressive online massively multiplayer 3d simulator.
2. you can build and create anything inside the game, or Script a engine to make a spaceship that really flys.
3.it can be used has a combat sim as well. and u can design your own style weapons
4. lastly u can use the virtual land to make buildings and start enterprises, that trade in virtual money.

i know this proposal is coming far from left field nevertheless. I was thinking the GE could consider this as a idea. That we has a group open up a small SL organization/club and open a Galactic Empire Home Office in the Metaverse of Secondlife. All secondlife lands get good foot traffic and hits in world and out. Could use this as a way to recruit, or a place to hold meetings. Could also open a store and sell our own SW designs and stuff since everyone in second life owns their Digital Media rights .
honestly what do u guys think?

As the Cox said it:

Good God in heaven, Newbie. There are just so very many ways for me to say this to you: Never. Not in a million years. Absolutely not. No way, Jose. No chance, Lance. Nyet. Negatori. Mm-mm. Nuh-uh. Uh-uh. And of course, my own personal favourite of all time, man falling off of a cliff. Noooooooooo!

I am all for expanding platforms but good god Second Life is not even sci fi. Second Life also is packed full of sex trolls and people who walk around and spam with elabarate macros that lag you out of the program. Second life is basicly a avatar based chat. We wont be able to find members using it do to honestly you will mostly find Furries or other groups like that. Honestly.. if we were to expand platforms it would be some of the SW games we dont have or we could do various sci fis. I can give a list of possibilities if wanted.

Nice of you to mention it, Kiles, but I must second the good Sargeant. :-P

it was just a idea. but a serious idea at that. yea i understand Second life platform isnt starwars official but its open source and there are many second life organizations doing combat orientation sims, and car racings sims with reall physics and such under their own design. and its open source so u can literearly do anything with ur land parcels I.E make them about outerspace. i ve seen sims in SL about Star Trek and star trek is like 1/3 as cool as StarWars so i was just thinking i would ask you guys what u thought.
I appreciate and respect your opinions

honestly tho look at the sim its pretty impressive at least just for meetings or avatars , MetaEconomis and such.

I am extremely familiar with SL. SL has potential however its not viable for us, the combat rules for SL wont allow open conflict. Also there is a issue as to WHO will pay for the class three server, multiple sim islands, lag and bandwidth fees... well we are looking at a guestimate of 1000.00 to buy the island for the required Primes, plus enviromental controls, this is not including the 200.00 a month rent. Ontop of that I have gathered we have maybe 6 people who can build the textures and such, ontop we have the maybe just as many scripters. If we drop EVERYTHING and we buy as many pre made outfits and such for stormtroopers and weapons rather then build which is a guestimate of 20.00 US and some are not tradeable which would increase the fee PER member. Ontop of this all there is msc rental fees.

Know why the Star Trek people can do this?

Its called Starfleet International, a world wide club that charges membership fees and that is used along with Paramont studios to help inprove it. Lucas dont like the clubs like Paramont does. We can thank the EH for this.

Here is our budget to do this:
Starter = 1500.00 US
Msc Primes bought = 350.00 US
Monthly Fees = 200.00 US

I don't see any of us shelling out the money. Not for something that WILL flop since the company we are leaching concepts from wont make this for us.

And to explain how I know this crap =

Kiles, I apologize if you were a bit offended by Burton. He means well and said what he said largely for entertainment factor.

but Burton and Tione are both right. It would not work, unfortunately, especially since it requires monthly fees. The GE:ER is purely non-profit recreational fantasy. To start paying monthly fees (other than our standard web browser fee) would be a bit much, and may even require High Command to start charging GE members to help support the fee, which would certainly dissuade people from joining us.

a good thought, to be sure, but unfortunately, it will not work.
