[HMDS] Word Spill Comes to GK Island
Storm convinced me today to add Word Spill to GK Island, for he and others to run. Word Spill is a fun game in which players compete to make words out of letters. After exploring the issue we decided to give it a shot.
I bought it ($8 US) and gave Storm control over the board. Storm is interested in seeing more activities like this on GK Island, to bring people over. Here's what he told me:
Storm Basiat: well it will be more fun for the people to come on and play some spelling games to get there spelling better and i think it would be intresting to see this land be so so poupler like the other sims like mecca and stuff
Storm Basiat: and i can become a instructor in a few days
You: What does it mean for you to become an instructor?
Storm Basiat: i can get events announced to the whole of the teen grid
Storm Basiat: and i get paid 500L for every event i do
You: nice
Storm Basiat: aswlel like to get the gird more fun
You: So like, you could announce and get paid for running an event on GK island?
Storm Basiat: indeed
It was interesting for me to learn how Linden Labs can simultaneously support the teens to take on leadership roles and encourage the creation of resident-led activities at the same time.
