I am thinking of having a fundraiser to raise lindens to be converted to cash for some gas money when I move to Arkansas. How would someone go about doing this (The event will be well marked and signs will clearly spell out that the money is for gas money for my move) And the bottom line question is, Is this moral? and Should someone use the Game in this mannor. I assure you that I will use the money for Gas but still, its it ethicial and moral to do?
If this is not moral, then this is as far as this ideal goes. And we stop it here and now in the planning stage.

It is certainly moral. You are being honest in asking for help. I see nothing wrong with it, as long as you aren't pestering people to give. Contact me in World for a small donation

I don't see a problem with it either. Not like you're holding people at gunpoint or something.

I live in Arkansas, my question is...Why would you move here?????? really, what's your donation goal? Perhaps I may can help. I have a rent free house there (My Mom's) I am not sure what my goal in Lindens will be but I estimate I need between US$150 and US$175 bucks for 2 tanks of gas at 30 gallions for the U-haul. The town I am moving to is in North West Arkansas and they have Faster Internet than Nashville Tennessee (6,000K as opposed to 3,000K for Nashville (Dial-up for compairison is 56K) And People say they can access Second Life on Cox and that is who is the ISP in this town. |

Well, shoot.
In that case, anyone wanna spring for part of my education? Only 2 years to go to get my Bachelor's in Urban/Reginoal Planning. I reckon about $US 10,000 should do it. _____________________
