[tsl/leadership/teen] Election Day Event
The Election Event went over very fantastically. I would like to thank Nate Kongo for helping me out during this entire event. I would also like to thank all of the Gkids for making this election year a good year for the teenagers of Teen Second Life. This event would have gone down badly if it wasn't for the people that kept it together.
The event itself consisted of a few different key elements that made it successful. Whether it be the intelligence of all the teen residents that decided to have a voice or perhaps even the fact that the topics were spoken about so intelligently. It was all a very mature conversation and a lot of people seemed to have enjoyed themselves.
The event itself was not the best thing that happened that night. The voting booth showed that Barack Obama had a clear victory over the teens in the grid with most of the votes going to him over McCain.
The event was a complete success in all different aspects. I have never seen an event go so long and still feel like a powerful event even after the 2 hour limit that was set unto the previous events. This event has indeed inspired me to make a longer event and without haste I will again do another event of this magnitude. All the teens have respected their rules and have sent me IMs within the past week saying how good of an event it was. My reply was always the same. I always said "I want teens to have a voice, and I am glad that you appreciate the gift that was given to the teen grid" as a sign of gratitude.
We had a lot of fun and it just wouldn't stop getting fun as we headed over to the teen barometer for a couple minutes to figure out exactly what teens thought about with the war. A lot of teens decided against it. I asked why and I got mixed answers. Whether it may be that another family member is fighting over seas right now or you just don't want to see another American come home hurt or not even come home at all.
In final thoughts, here is a picture of our victor, Barack Obama. Congratulations to him and let it be a good 4 years ahead!
