tting in and doing my assignments! After a few minutes of running into things and people with little other interaction I did move on to Move City and figured out how to jump onto a scooter and wheel around Move City. I have to say that moving around was a bit difficult as I found the avatar moved a bit after I finished directing or moving by the buttons. But once I got the hang of multiple directions or changing the direction while still in motion things got easier. To get onto the scooter I right clicked on the scooter, accepted permission, and the avatar jumped right on. The pace was a bit faster than walking, but not much. Simply hitting the 'stand up' button helped me jump off the scooter.So next I tried flying. Pretty cool, and I was able to move around much faster. Oh, and I did find the outer limits of the program flying over the water. Definitely reminded me of 'The Truman Show' where Jim Carrey figures out what was on the horizon! Landing was usually pretty easy, but I took a tumble once and ended up swimming another time. I guess I will have to learn.
Finally, I made my way to the marketplace and was able to buy a chainmail shirt. After strooling around and trying to figure out how to do so I follow directions a bit better and was able to get my avatar to accept the free shirt. Definitely was an involved exchange trying to figure out how to accept the permission and move my avatar, but a succcess no less.
I was finaly able to move off into another island where there were a number of people around. I didn't get into any conversations but I kind of paid attention to what was going on. Bottom line, it was just like being in an AOL chatroom with a bunch of different/separate conversations going on, but with avatar bodies representing the way that people wanted others to see them.
