This is a poll: is sl a game or is sl a business.

A poll deals in absolutes.

Don't like my poll, start your own!


so far 50% business, 25% game, and 25% didn't read the rules of the post.


Then it is a poor poll. It does not encompass all possible scenarios. It should at least have an option called NEITHER! To me it is both. If I put up a RED flag, and ask people if it is black or white, it is not a good poll.

(besides, WE ALL KNOW, it's a PLATFORM! :D )

please respond in form of game or business


For me, it's neither of these. It's a creativity exploration tool in the guise of a virtual word.

Not our fault if the poll is limited in options. :)

Neither. It's a platform upon which you can play games, conduct business, or other things.

I don't like either of those options. SL is a free-form environment. It comes with 7 primatives, one mesh, a few animations and the ability to edit content and upload additional content.

You can make it a game, you can make it a business, you can making it a gaming business, you can make it a way to talk to friends, you can make it a way to explore your fetishes, you can do a whole bunch of other stuff if you feel like it.


What he said...

SL is different things to different people and not always a "single" thing to any one person.

i find it amusing that you are pushing for a silly OR decision when your poll uses AND checkboxes rather than OR radio buttons.


Yep, I checked both. :p

i am glad to see a "more accurate" poll has been started. however, i am also glad to see my poll getting votes. It's amazing how a question can spark so much anger, but then again, i deal with that same irrational anger in my rl job.
