&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== EVOLUTION OF AN AVATAR ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July of 2010, Phaylen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwWesfI_qZM released a spoof] of the viral Old Spice commercials featuring a rotating backdrop with the tag like &amp;quot;I&#039;m on a horse.&amp;quot; Her machinima featured her avatar in the same scenario, from a female perspective, ending with a reveal of her being on a Yak. In November of 2010, it was discovered that UK&#039;s Sun Magazine [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0LGW8urTOs had copied] her premise using a real woman, but instead of revealing a yak at the end of the clip, it revealed the bikini clad woman on a car.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life.

A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. In December, DiVAS broke through the virtual glass ceiling, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition.]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, titled &amp;quot;Phaylen Seeks A World Of Warcraft Guild&amp;quot;, had crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January of 2010, A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2010, the DiVAS series continues to evolve, adapting stellar vocal performances guest stars who embodied World Of Warcraft Avatars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September, Phaylen was invited to juror the annual [http://www.48hourfilm.com 48 hour film project] along with award winning film director [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/ Peter Greenaway] and Machinima icon Tom Jantol, the individual responsible for coining the term &amp;quot;Machinima.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 4th, Phaylen released a mixed reality short film entitled HARBINGER. The psychological thriller focused on a young woman being tormented by a Hannibal Lector-like character threatening to murder the player on the other side of the screen if she does not answer 5 questions. The concept of a deranged murdered with idealizations and paranoia regarding the internet, privacy and anonymity sent virtual worlds players into a state of introspection and fetched the film rave reviews. The 15 minute film, shot in real time, showed reflections and silhouettes of the players in their computer screens, emphasizing the state of disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;

As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, she remained incredibly active in community events. While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August. During this time she was encouraged once more to join the Linden Lab team with multiple referrals. Her uncertainty over her interest in a transition to a more formal role and the inevitable re-prioritization of her own independent works required careful consideration. Ultimately, she opted not to submit herself for consideration recognizing that there was no position within the company that defined what she was doing... yet. On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, marked Episode One of Season Two has crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heels of a fantastic finale to 2009, Phaylen was contacted by a Linden employee informing her of a role that had recently been implemented and posted at the official Linden Lab Website that encompassed what she had already been doing for years as a resident volunteer. Community Manager: Live Events! For the first time, Phaylen sent in her materials for consideration realizing she had developed an extensive body of work, logged thousands of hours, and had traceable, proven tack record for the position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was declined in an email stating she wasn&#039;t a strong match for the position. Undeterred, and a nice consolation, just days prior to this she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 30th, she will release the Second Episode of the second season of Divas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her free time, Phaylen enjoys writing wikis about herself in the third person which was a much more difficult task than she expected. Her driver, on the other hand, thinks it sounds quite pretentious but loves her anyway.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The [http://www.warcry.com/ Warcry networks] Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, she remained incredibly active in community events. While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she began production on a new concept for filmed virtual Television Show that manifested itself in form of [http://metaversetv.com/blog/category/shows/i-wanna-be-a-celebrity/ &amp;quot;I Wanna Be A Celebrity.&amp;quot;] The title was intended to be a play on words, referencing more how someone feels about their own personal achievements rather than how they are perceived externally by others. Celebrity was an eight episode reality series that took 6 Second Life residents from various walks of real life and put their virtual skills to the test with weekly challenges relevant to the platform. Contestants met with virtual mentors at the top of their respective fields during each episode, focusing on building, photography, performing arts and - yes - even Machinima production. The show was designed to be a positive asset to the community of Second Life, with the intention of later viewers being moved to further develop their own virtual skillsets by watching others do the same. The show was produced in a collaboration with Metaverse-TV and aired over 8 weeks, with the finale debuting in June 2009. Also in June, she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August. During this time she was encouraged once more to join the Linden Lab team with multiple referrals. Her uncertainty over her interest in a transition to a more formal role and the inevitable re-prioritization of her own independent works required careful consideration. Ultimately, she opted not to submit herself for consideration recognizing that there was no position within the company that defined what she was doing... yet. On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, marked Episode One of Season Two has crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heels of a fantastic finale to 2009, Phaylen was contacted by a Linden employee informing her of a role that had recently been implemented and posted at the official Linden Lab Website that encompassed what she had already been doing for years as a resident volunteer. Community Manager: Live Events! For the first time, Phaylen sent in her materials for consideration realizing she had developed an extensive body of work, logged thousands of hours, and had traceable, proven tack record for the position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was declined in an email stating she wasn&#039;t a strong match for the position. Undeterred, and a nice consolation, just days prior to this she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 30th, she will release the Second Episode of the second season of Divas.&lt;br /&gt;

She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives of Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, she remained incredibly active in community events. While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August. During this time she was encouraged once more to join the Linden Lab team with multiple referrals. Her uncertainty over her interest in a transition to a more formal role and the inevitable re-prioritization of her own independent works required careful consideration. Ultimately, she opted not to submit herself for consideration recognizing that there was no position within the company that defined what she was doing... yet. On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, marked Episode One of Season Two has crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heels of a fantastic finale to 2009, Phaylen was contacted by a Linden employee informing her of a role that had recently been implemented and posted at the official Linden Lab Website that encompassed what she had already been doing for years as a resident volunteer. Community Manager: Live Events! For the first time, Phaylen sent in her materials for consideration realizing she had developed an extensive body of work, logged thousands of hours, and had traceable, proven tack record for the position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was declined in an email stating she wasn&#039;t a strong match for the position. Undeterred, and a nice consolation, just days prior to this she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 30th, she will release the Second Episode of the second season of Divas.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The Warcry networks Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen eventually worked actively across all of the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where awards were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.)

She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The Warcry networks Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen worked eventually worked actively across all the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where award were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chairman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, she remained incredibly active in community events. While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August. During this time she was encouraged once more to join the Linden Lab team with multiple referrals. Her uncertainty over her interest in a transition to a more formal role and the inevitable re-prioritization of her own independent works required careful consideration. Ultimately, she opted not to submit herself for consideration recognizing that there was no position within the company that defined what she was doing... yet. On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, marked Episode One of Season Two has crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heels of a fantastic finale to 2009, Phaylen was contacted by a Linden employee informing her of a role that had recently been implemented and posted at the official Linden Lab Website that encompassed what she had already been doing for years as a resident volunteer. Community Manager: Live Events! For the first time, Phaylen sent in her materials for consideration realizing she had developed an extensive body of work, logged thousands of hours, and had traceable, proven tack record for the position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was declined in an email stating she wasn&#039;t a strong match for the position. Undeterred, and a nice consolation, just days prior to this she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 30th, she will release the Second Episode of the second season of Divas.&lt;br /&gt;

Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she continued work on DiVAS, which she wrote, directed, edited and starred in alongside Big Brother Alumni Kit Maitland and Second Life Veteran Evie Fairchild (no relation) she was approached once again by Linden Lab to step into her organization shoes for Second Life&#039;s Fifth Anniversary festivities (or SL5B) after the previous organizers had abandoned the project a month prior to launch. Unaware of the controversy surrounding the event at the time, Phaylen came on board, recruited a volunteer team, working with those she had worked with previously on past projects and once again, with liaison Dusty linden, they put together a fantastic event which featured opening keynote speeches by Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab Chirman (As well as founder of Lotus and Chair of the Mozilla Foundation at its inception in 2003) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Kapor Mitch Kapor.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost immediately after SL5B she fell into a key organization role for Burning Life, another Linden Lab sponsored event, as head of communications, an obvious role due to her community outreach. Once again she worked with key personnel at the company, working with Dusty Linden for a third time, Katt Linden and Everett Linden. She had become the go-to resident for key tasks. It was during this time that she was asked to submit her resume and encourage to join the Linden Lab family officially. However, with work on her own sitcom slowing down due to real life obligations, which despite the slow releases had gone on to become incredibly popular, even showing at the Museum of Natural History for their [http://2009.festivaldellacreativita.it/ Virtual Renaissance exhibition] and the recent optioning the rights to a speculative screenplay, she didn&#039;t feel it was the right time to broach such a significant move. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, she remained incredibly active in community events. While deep in organization of Burning Life, simultaneously she was asked by Mia Linden to begin organization and region development for the annual SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) In-World events, which takes place both physically and virtually. The in-world events are an alternative for residents who cannot attend the convention which takes place each year in a different American city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 2009 she was once again approached to organize Linden Lab&#039;s Sixth Anniversary Festivities. Having done it under unusual circumstances and still turning out a success the year prior, She saw an opportunity to put on a phenomenal show on behalf of her fellow residents. From concept to design she was involved in every aspect, recruiting a team of volunteers, developing the highly successful tiers of volunteerism program and working in every sector of planning. Dallier&#039;s Hope, which was designed as a barren rock recently colonized by the residents of Second Life was created to mimic the feel that Phaylen had when she stepped into the barren Second Life regions Seven years prior when possibility and promise was infinite. It is regarded as the most phenomenal and successful birthday event to date. In response to the success and she received a public thanks from founder Philip Linden and flowers from the employees at Linden Lab. It was a a wonderful, albeit unexpected, tip of the hat to a woman who had been largely responsible for some of the most major virtual events during the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid 2009, she took a break from event organization to refocus her attention to her Machinima efforts. Although she had created small cinematic features for Burning Life, the game Angels and Demons, and a feature for designer Moxie Polano, DiVAS had been in a long hiatus. Her Second Life machinima works, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BFBpCrvr2Y including her very first foray into the art of virtual film making] (Which now has over 124,000 hits!) have sent countless viewers not only to her YouTube channel, but also to Second Life as new residents. Phaylen took on the role of Blogger for creative social networking website [http://blog.koinup.com/ Koinup.com] as an ambassador to the Machinima community with her column Stories From The Machine. She donned her organization cap briefly for Mia Linden once again to develop another region for the Second Life Community Convention in August. During this time she was encouraged once more to join the Linden Lab team with multiple referrals. Her uncertainty over her interest in a transition to a more formal role and the inevitable re-prioritization of her own independent works required careful consideration. Ultimately, she opted not to submit herself for consideration recognizing that there was no position within the company that defined what she was doing... yet. On December 13th, 2009 Phaylen performed a live show as her sitcom character and reminisced with an enthusiastic audience on her amusing, sometimes poignant, often hilarious adventures in the virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 16 months, the sitcom DiVAS returned with a bang on December 8th 2009 and pioneered yet another first. Her Second Life Avatar was dropped into the popular World Of Warcraft environment where she realistically interacted with Avatars from that platform. The episode, marked Episode One of Season Two has crossed the virtual boundary and become the most successful episode of the entire series, transitioning it into a new era - and a surprising direction. The episode also caught the attention of Blizzard who sent a thoughtful email of praise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heels of a fantastic finale to 2009, Phaylen was contacted by a Linden employee informing her of a role that had recently been implemented and posted at the official Linden Lab Website that encompassed what she had already been doing for years as a resident volunteer. Community Manager: Live Events! For the first time, Phaylen sent in her materials for consideration realizing she had developed an extensive body of work, logged thousands of hours, and had traceable, proven tack record for the position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week after her 7th anniversary as an Avatar in Second Life, she was declined in an email stating she wasn&#039;t a strong match for the position. Undeterred, and a nice consolation, just days prior to this she was contacted by actor Tom Cruise to contribute to his blog as a guest columnist to discuss how movies shaped her life as a virtual film maker. On January 5th, 2010, her first piece [http://www.tomcruise.com/blog/2010/01/05/tom-cruise-blog-guest-entry-what-film-means-to-me/ appeared on his Official Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 23rd, 2010 she organized and hosted the cross world Conference on Virtual Filmed Media and Entertainment which was attended by agents and executives from real life media representation companies such as William Morris and ICM. She spoke to the panel about the viability of transitioning virtually created television and films to real life audiences. The conference was incredibly successful and opened up a dialog between virtual content creators and executives in media in pursuit of exploring the possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 30th, she will release the Second Episode of the second season of Divas.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== &#039;&#039;&#039;Phaylen Fairchild&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ABOUT ==&lt;br /&gt;
Charter Member Phaylen Fairchild began her Second life on New Years Eve 2002, making her one of the oldest virtual residents on the Second Life Grid today. Her passion began primarily in MMORPG&#039;s, which she later integrated into her real life work, starting as Assistant Site Manager for The Warcry networks Everquest 2 community site and soon taking on the task of Site Manager for Warcry&#039;s Matrix Online Portal. During her time at Warcry, Phaylen worked eventually worked actively across all the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where award were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor.

During her time at Warcry, Phaylen worked eventually worked actively across all the networks community sites, including the Central Hub where she managed and provided content, recruited volunteers, developed incentive programs and worked with game developers to strategize the release of information regarding high profile titles to ensure maximum demographic exposure. While at Warcry, she was the first to interview ex-VP of Marketing and Community Development for Linden Lab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early days of Second Life, it was not uncommon for Linden Lab to phone residents to inquire about their thoughts and suggestions on the development of the new world and Miss Harper and Phaylen spoke often regarding it&#039;s direction and future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leaving Warcry, Phaylen moved on to IGN to join their budding World Of Warcraft community portal team. Similar to her position at Warcry, she wrote content for the website, hired volunteer staff and moderated the community forums. She developed a strong working relationship with the Developers at Blizzard and participated in the very early stages of their Alpha Phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen eventually left behind her virtual duties to resume her longtime aspiration of writing Screenplays and Novels which she has set aside prematurely years before when she achieved success as an award winning writer at the age of twenty. While still dabbling in Second Life in her spare time, she discovered it&#039;s potential for storytelling and eventually began filming short sequences within the platform. Soon, she had taught herself to use advanced editing software and special effects programs and the hobby of virtual film making became a irreplaceable creative outlet which she utilizes to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== LINDEN LAB EVENTS ==&lt;br /&gt;
Phaylen was the creator of the first interactive gridwide event in March 2003 with her well-devised Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt. Many residents attended, and found themselves greeted by Alice herself (Portrayed by Fairchild) who commissioned their help to retrieve a destructive Oracle that had fallen into the possession of the vicious Queen Of Hearts (Portrayed by ex-Linden Lab Employee Jennifer Linden.) Because betraying ears lurked in unseen places, She set them out on a gridwide adventure spanning all 12 sims where riddles would lead them to encounters with iconic characters from the story itself including the White Rabbit, The Wise Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, all who lead them to their place of final conflict with the Queen Of Hearts where players literally engaged in a combat scenario with her, attempting to knock her from the catwalks of the Rizal Sports Arena to retrieve the Oracle and return it to Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her early days in Second Life, Phaylen also performed in the role of Official Instructor, teaching residents to build. She was also active in the Mentorship program where she acclimated new residents to the virtual environment. Many early residents recall her as their first teacher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the grid evolved, so did Phaylen, who was actually the the first Prim Dress designer. In 2005 she devised a program that would honor the efforts and achievements of residents in Second Life in a sort of Virtual Oscars Ceremony. For a month, Residents submitted nominees in a plethora of categories such as &amp;quot;Achievement in Design&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notable Group Achievment.&amp;quot; In the second month, nominees submissions were counted and narrowed down to five finalists per category, and residents then were asked to vote between them. The event culminated in a huge ceremony, complete with red carpet in a custom built auditorium where award were handed out. Phaylen had commissioned real life artist T. King, the lead designer for the Sony MMORPG Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes to create the award statuette that would be distributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Phaylen was asked by the creators of the [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/ real world television show Big Brother] to participate as a contestant in their virtual version of the popular series. She remained in the house with 15 other residents including Kit Maitland (who would later become her co-star in the long running virtual Sitcom DiVAS.) After her eviction in week six, Phaylen joined the Endemol Virtual Team, who intended to transition more of their intellectual properties to the virtual platform, as a consultant and producer of their content. She assisted with the [http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/endemol-produces-mobile-music-video-for-myspace-star/119962.article development of their follow-up to Big Brother, Tila Tequila&#039;s Paradise], a region dedicated to the reality television star and internet phenom Tila Tequila, who was to film her music video virtually. Phaylen also created Tila&#039;s line of clothing from real to virtual on Endemol&#039;s behalf as well as supervising development of the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that role was completed, Phaylen was approached by Italian producers from [http://www.magnoliatv.it/ Magnolia Television] who had seen her in Big Brother and knew of her work with Endemol. Their goal was to transition their own intellectual property from real to virtual. Magnolia producers are the originators of the worldwide franchise Survivor. Phaylen came on board as a consultant and co-organizor of the event, blogging for the English speaking audience of Italian broadcaster [http://www.isolasl.rai.it/R2_HPprogramma/0,,1067113,00.html Rai.Due TV]. The show was aired on television once weekly in Germany, Japan and Italy, and the live stream was accessible throughout the duration of the event via Rai.Due&#039;s official website. The show was an enormous commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming off of Survivor: Second Life, Phaylen was approached by a friend to organize the first Day of Remembrance which celebrated the lives Virtual residents who had passed away. As a community advocate, Phaylen agreed. In the process of organization, Linden Lab decided to make the Event Official by sponsoring it and assigning a liaison to work with the team. With the support of Dusty Linden, Phaylen lead a phenomenal team through the organization of an event that spanned 24 hours of live music and events. The event fetched incredibly community support and the success of it reached real world media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Day Of Remembrance, Phaylen began production on DiVAS, a sitcom filmed within the virtual world. Originally conceived as a vehicle for actor Damon Wayans and actress Molly Shannon while Phaylen worked in Hollywood, she altered the lead characters and the setting but kept the colorful sense of humor. The first episode of DiVAS premiered on December 1st, 2007. The series garnered a lot of praise from both the community and the outside world from educators and spectators who had been watching the development of various types of content coming from Second Life. [http://community.filmsforlearning.org/blogs/peter_roe/default.aspx One Professor is quoted saying] &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;As for Machinima in Second Life it seems my experience is just the tip of the iceberg. A media company has produced a virtual comedy series using Second Life... 5 episodes so far called &amp;quot;Divas&amp;quot; sort of a cross between &#039;Desperate Housewives&#039; and the Film &#039;Death Becomes Her&#039;.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Extension of Time to Apply==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a large number of requests, we are re-opening applications for SL6B for 3 days. Starting now, (Friday June 12, 1PM SLT) you can submit a new proposal if your first was not accepted, or submit for the first time. Here are the rules for re-entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: DO make your exhibit anything you like - AS LONG AS YOU ATTEMPT TO ADAPT IT TO THE THEME. We&#039;re asking you to share with us your vision of the &amp;quot;Future Of Virtual Worlds&amp;quot; as you see it applied to you. If you make pet animals, that&#039;s fantastic, stick an astronauts helmet on them! Explore the concept of animals in the future, have fun with it. Don&#039;t be afraid to play the game. Use the theme as your springboard, make the future what you want it to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. DO explain what you intend to exhibit in your application. Not asking for a three page proposal justifying the necessity of every prim you rezz, but tell us what your vision is. Use the text space you&#039;ve got!  Don&#039;t simply say &amp;quot;Content I&#039;ve created...&amp;quot; what is the content? If you have trouble explaining in English, please supply links or slurls to examples of your work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. DON&#039;T utilize the Exhibit Info space to tell us all about YOU and nothing about your exhibit or your intentions. Your Exhibit info is not your bio. While we&#039;d love to hear your life story, there is a dedicated section for that. The Exhibit Information section is not that place... unless you&#039;re exhibiting you and you alone as some form of Life art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. DO make sure where it requests your name to put in the name of your Avatar - not your real name. We don&#039;t need that info because as much as we like you, you&#039;re not on our Christmas card list in real life. We cannot contact your virtual self with your real life name. We can&#039;t drop you relevant notecards or send you an IM when the name does not exist in Second Life. By the way, if per chance you&#039;re getting odd inventory offers on your real life avatar, see a doctor about that immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. DON&#039;T offer to put up a stage and invite musicians to sing. We have music coordinators who have gone to great lengths and invested great amounts of time to create a musical schedule on three stages for 24 hours of the day for the entire 7 day duration. If we let everyone have a stage to invite their favorite performers to sing, your neighbor with the Octo-Alien frog on his 512 beside you would be shooting death rays from his eyes at you and your 40 friends who have lagged the region to a standstill, and used up the entire allotment of avatars for the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. DON&#039;T tell us that the only space that will accommodate your vision is a half a sim. While bigger is always better honey, unfortunately the reality of this event and the magnitude of participation doesn&#039;t allow us the leisure of handing out full regions to anyone who asks - or anyone at all for that matter. We&#039;ve tried to give you a diverse selection of plot sizes to accommodate as many ideas and installations as possible. Feel free to request the largest we have to offer, but make sure you justify the necessity! If you request a 2048 and your tell us your exhibit is simply &amp;quot;Cats.&amp;quot; Well, that might not be a guaranteed sell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. If you choose to disregard these suggestions because you have to have a replication of Ma and Pa Kettle&#039;s cabin in the woods, I urge you to remember that a panel does review these applications and an application does not guarantee a parcel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. DO remember: This is ONLY a 3 day application extension in consideration of the many, many inquiries we&#039;ve received. There will NOT be another. This is your last chance to participate. No further extensions will be made this year, there simply isn&#039;t time. Rest assured we want you here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apply here: http://tr.im/sl6bform2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications will close for review on this date: Monday June 15, at 1pm SLT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the seemingly simple idea &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Policies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maturity Rating=== &lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure a comfortable experience for every Resident, the whole of the event will be accessible to general audiences. The Second Life 6th Birthday Celebration takes place on the main Second Life Grid and is for Adults 18 years and older. The following guidelines are in effect, and are the same PG guidelines we followed last year:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;PG Areas are designated to be free from sexually explicit language or behavior, swearing and other forms of aggressive language, violent behavior and/or imagery, including horror.

&lt;br /&gt;
Linden Lab and the Resident Organizers reserve the right to determine when an edge case is no longer appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Builder Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Builder Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Zero Tolerance for Drama. The volunteer staff of Second Life 6th Birthday are here to help you with reasonable requests for assistance with your build. They are not being paid to be abused, called names, or manipulated for your personal ends. Please be courteous to these fellow residents who are giving their time for the community. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any builders habitually harassing staff will be removed from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Donation Solicitations in any form be it verbally or by Kiosk are prohibited. While we appreciate the efforts residents make to inform, educate and encourage support of charitable causes, this Linden Sponsored Event cannot be used as a vehicle for the procurement of donations for charity. Allowance of such can be misconstrued as a public endorsement and involves a bunch of legalese. While within your exhibit you may provide external links and landmarks to locations that provide an avenue for donations to be made, they may not be made directly from the event fairgrounds in any respect. It is impossible for us to verify the legitimacy of every organization participating. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY &amp;amp; SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS are groups designed solely for the purpose of streamlining information between staff and the community. In either of those groups, questions can be asked, group invitations may be requested by exhibitors for their team, but idle chat is discouraged. For exhibitors who would like to discuss their exhibits, speak with other exhibitors, share ideas and tips or play games (Yes they even play games - currently the riddle is discerning the meaning of Dallier&#039;s Hope!) you can join SL6B Exhibitors if you don&#039;t mind general discussion. Remember that is a community channel and discussion should be expected if you join!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TOXIC MENGES&lt;br /&gt;
Aeon&lt;br /&gt;
Quantum&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
JEWELKICKER SPEARMANN&lt;br /&gt;
Futurist&lt;br /&gt;
Android&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Each plot allows you the standard allotment of prims. Please don&#039;t exceed your allotment under any circumstances!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you requested a booth space, a booth has been provided for you. If it does not meet your needs, you may have it deleted, but please respect the view of your neighbors when designing your own booths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your display may include a notecard and LM to another location. You may not sell your work here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You must be a member of the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in order to access The Rock. An effort has been made to group all exhibits by content type.  Exhibitor Assistants will have a list available to direct you to your assigned spaces. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR SIM COORDINATOR FOR A GROUP INVITE! They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you cannot use your space, please IM the group and request help from a Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistant will provide this information to your sim Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Exhibitors have 7 days to claim their land by putting a prim on. June 11th is the last day to claim your land. We will give your land to anther exhibitor on June 12th, if you have not claimed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Please do not ask for an invitation to the group if you are not an exhibitor or assisting an exhibitor. The assistants will be screening all request against a database of applicant names. If you have not been referred by a current exhibitor or have not placed an application that has been received an acceptance letter via email or in-world notecard, you will not be granted access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Staff==&lt;br /&gt;
If you are thinking of volunteering to work at SL6B, read this: The Second Life Birthday Production Team will be a no-drama zone. It&#039;s goal-oriented, get-&#039;er-done work, all accomplished behind the scenes. While it&#039;s very fun and satisfying, it is no place for a big ego or someone who needs to be the center of attention or in control. It&#039;s collaborative. &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; is a big word around here; be prepared to work with others and be good at reaching a goal, even if it&#039;s not the road you might have chosen if working alone!&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the seemingly simple idea &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Builder Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Builder Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Zero Tolerance for Drama. The volunteer staff of Second Life 6th Birthday are here to help you with reasonable requests for assistance with your build. They are not being paid to be abused, called names, or manipulated for your personal ends. Please be courteous to these fellow residents who are giving their time for the community. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any builders habitually harassing staff will be removed from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Donation Solicitations in any form be it verbally or by Kiosk are prohibited. While we appreciate the efforts residents make to inform, educate and encourage support of charitable causes, this Linden Sponsored Event cannot be used as a vehicle for the procurement of donations for charity. Allowance of such can be misconstrued as a public endorsement and involves a bunch of legalese. While within your exhibit you may provide external links and landmarks to locations that provide an avenue for donations to be made, they may not be made directly from the event fairgrounds in any respect. It is impossible for us to verify the legitimacy of every organization participating. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY &amp;amp; SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS are groups designed solely for the purpose of streamlining information between staff and the community. In either of those groups, questions can be asked, group invitations may be requested by exhibitors for their team, but idle chat is discouraged. For exhibitors who would like to discuss their exhibits, speak with other exhibitors, share ideas and tips or play games (Yes they even play games - currently the riddle is discerning the meaning of Dallier&#039;s Hope!) you can join SL6B Exhibitors if you don&#039;t mind general discussion. Remember that is a community channel and discussion should be expected if you join!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Each plot allows you the standard allotment of prims. Please don&#039;t exceed your allotment under any circumstances!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you requested a booth space, a booth has been provided for you. If it does not meet your needs, you may have it deleted, but please respect the view of your neighbors when designing your own booths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your display may include a notecard and LM to another location. You may not sell your work here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You must be a member of the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in order to access The Rock. An effort has been made to group all exhibits by content type.  Exhibitor Assistants will have a list available to direct you to your assigned spaces. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR SIM COORDINATOR FOR A GROUP INVITE! They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you cannot use your space, please IM the group and request help from a Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistant will provide this information to your sim Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Exhibitors have 7 days to claim their land by putting a prim on. June 11th is the last day to claim your land. We will give your land to anther exhibitor on June 12th, if you have not claimed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Please do not ask for an invitation to the group if you are not an exhibitor or assisting an exhibitor. The assistants will be screening all request against a database of applicant names. If you have not been referred by a current exhibitor or have not placed an application that has been received an acceptance letter via email or in-world notecard, you will not be granted access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Staff==&lt;br /&gt;
If you are thinking of volunteering to work at SL6B, read this: The Second Life Birthday Production Team will be a no-drama zone. It&#039;s goal-oriented, get-&#039;er-done work, all accomplished behind the scenes. While it&#039;s very fun and satisfying, it is no place for a big ego or someone who needs to be the center of attention or in control. It&#039;s collaborative. &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; is a big word around here; be prepared to work with others and be good at reaching a goal, even if it&#039;s not the road you might have chosen if working alone!&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the seemingly simple idea &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Donation Solicitations in any form be it verbally or by Kiosk are prohibited. While we appreciate the efforts residents make to inform, educate and encourage support of charitable causes, this Linden Sponsored Event cannot be used as a vehicle for the procurement of donations for charity. Allowance of such can be misconstrued as a public endorsement and involved a bunch of legalese. While within your exhibit you may provide external links and landmarks to locations that provide an avenue for donations to be made, they may not be made directly from the event fairgrounds in any form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY &amp;amp; SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS are groups designed solely for the purpose of streamlining information between staff and the community. In either of those groups, questions can be asked, group invitations may be requested by exhibitors for their team, but idle chat is discouraged. For exhibitors who would like to discuss their exhibits, speak with other exhibitors, share ideas and tips or play games (Yes they even play games - currently the riddle is discerning the meaning of Dallier&#039;s Hope!) you can join SL6B Exhibitors if you don&#039;t mind general discussion. Remember that is a community channel and discussion should be expected if you join!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;

==Event Staff==&lt;br /&gt;
If you are thinking of volunteering to work at SL6B, read this: The Second Life Birthday Production Team will be a no-drama zone. It&#039;s goal-oriented, get-&#039;er-done work, all accomplished behind the scenes. While it&#039;s very fun and satisfying, it is no place for a big ego or someone who needs to be the center of attention or in control. It&#039;s collaborative. &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; is a big word around here; be prepared to work with others and be good at reaching a goal, even if it&#039;s not the road you might have chosen if working alone!&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the seemingly simple idea &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Policies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maturity Rating=== &lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure a comfortable experience for every Resident, the whole of the event will be accessible to general audiences.

&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us, and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the ides &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Policies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maturity Rating=== &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Builder Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Builder Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Zero Tolerance for Drama. The volunteer staff of Second Life 6th Birthday are here to help you with reasonable requests for assistance with your build. They are not being paid to be abused, called names, or manipulated for your personal ends. Please be courteous to these fellow residents who are giving their time for the community. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any builders habitually harassing staff will be removed from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY &amp;amp; SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS are groups designed solely for the purpose of streamlining information between staff and the community. In either of those groups, questions can be asked, group invitations may be requested by exhibitors for their team, but idle chat is discouraged. For exhibitors who would like to discuss their exhibits, speak with other exhibitors, share ideas and tips or play games (Yes they even play games - currently the riddle is discerning the meaning of Dallier&#039;s Hope!) you can join SL6B Exhibitors if you don&#039;t mind general discussion. Remember that is a community channel and discussion should be expected if you join!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*If you requested a booth space, a booth has been provided for you. If it does not meet your needs, you may have it deleted, but please respect the view of your neighbors when designing your own booths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your display may include a notecard and LM to another location. You may not sell your work here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You must be a member of the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in order to access The Rock. An effort has been made to group all exhibits by content type.  Exhibitor Assistants will have a list available to direct you to your assigned spaces. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR SIM COORDINATOR FOR A GROUP INVITE! They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you cannot use your space, please IM the group and request help from a Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistant will provide this information to your sim Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Exhibitors have 7 days to claim their land by putting a prim on. June 11th is the last day to claim your land. We will give your land to anther exhibitor on June 12th, if you have not claimed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Please do not ask for an invitation to the group if you are not an exhibitor or assisting an exhibitor. The assistants will be screening all request against a database of applicant names. If you have not been referred by a current exhibitor or have not placed an application that has been received an acceptance letter via email or in-world notecard, you will not be granted access.&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us, and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the ides &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Policies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maturity Rating=== &lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure a comfortable experience for every Resident, the whole of the event will be accessible to general audiences. The Second Life 6th Birthday Celebration takes place on the main Second Life Grid and is for Adults 18 years and older. The following guidelines are in effect, and are the same PG guidelines we followed last year:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;PG Areas are designated to be free from sexually explicit language or behavior, swearing and other forms of aggressive language, violent behavior and/or imagery, including horror.

&lt;br /&gt;
Linden Lab and the Resident Organizers reserve the right to determine when an edge case is no longer appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Builder Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Builder Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Zero Tolerance for Drama. The volunteer staff of Second Life 6th Birthday are here to help you with reasonable requests for assistance with your build. They are not being paid to be abused, called names, or manipulated for your personal ends. Please be courteous to these fellow residents who are giving their time for the community. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any builders habitually harassing staff will be removed from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY &amp;amp; SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS are groups designed solely for the purpose of streamlining information between staff and the community. In either of those groups, questions can be asked, group invitations may be requested by exhibitors for their team, but idle chat is discouraged. For exhibitors who would like to discuss their exhibits, speak with other exhibitors, share ideas and tips or play games (Yes they even play games - currently the riddle is discerning the meaning of Dallier&#039;s Hope!) you can join SL6B Exhibitors if you don&#039;t mind general discussion. Remember that is a community channel and discussion should be expected if you join!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Each plot allows you the standard allotment of prims. Please don&#039;t exceed your allotment under any circumstances!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you requested a booth space, a booth has been provided for you. If it does not meet your needs, you may have it deleted, but please respect the view of your neighbors when designing your own booths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your display may include a notecard and LM to another location. You may not sell your work here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You must be a member of the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in order to access The Rock. An effort has been made to group all exhibits by content type.  Exhibitor Assistants will have a list available to direct you to your assigned spaces. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR SIM COORDINATOR FOR A GROUP INVITE! They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you cannot use your space, please IM the group and request help from a Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistant will provide this information to your sim Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Exhibitors have 7 days to claim their land by putting a prim on. June 11th is the last day to claim your land. We will give your land to anther exhibitor on June 12th, if you have not claimed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Please do not ask for an invitation to the group if you are not an exhibitor or assisting an exhibitor. The assistants will be screening all request against a database of applicant names. If you have not been referred by a current exhibitor or have not placed an application that has been received an acceptance letter via email or in-world notecard, you will not be granted access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Staff==&lt;br /&gt;
If you are thinking of volunteering to work at SL6B, read this: The Second Life Birthday Production Team will be a no-drama zone. It&#039;s goal-oriented, get-&#039;er-done work, all accomplished behind the scenes. While it&#039;s very fun and satisfying, it is no place for a big ego or someone who needs to be the center of attention or in control. It&#039;s collaborative. &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; is a big word around here; be prepared to work with others and be good at reaching a goal, even if it&#039;s not the road you might have chosen if working alone!&lt;br /&gt;

Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us, and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the ides &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;

==Builder Information==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Builder Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Zero Tolerance for Drama. The volunteer staff of Second Life 6th Birthday are here to help you with reasonable requests for assistance with your build. They are not being paid to be abused, called names, or manipulated for your personal ends. Please be courteous to these fellow residents who are giving their time for the community. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any builders habitually harassing staff will be removed from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You will need to set all items to SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY EXHIBITORS Group or they will auto return after 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you do not receive an invitation to the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in a timely fashion, please leave a message in the general SECOND LIFE BIRTHDAY group requesting help from an Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistants are here to help get you acclimated, as well as make sure you and your building team have invites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your Exhibitor Assistant will also remind you of the policies and protocols and inform you who your Region Coordinator is in the instance you need help with other, more elaborate issues. The Exhibitor Assistants will be able to answer all of your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By building at SL6B you are agreeing to keep your displays PG. Of course, that means things like Nudity or violence are not acceptable. Linden Lab reserves the right to determine the limits of nudity or violence, and may ask you to adjust your entries accordingly.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Selling is prohibited, however, freebies are fine. Additionally, displays should have actual content, not just look like advertisements. This is a non-commercial zone intended to showcase the best ideas, solutions, craftsmanship and community that Second Life residents have to offer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Megaprims are prohibited at Linden-Sponsored events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have needs that an Exhibitor Assistant cannot take care of - such as terraform issues or land options customization, please refer to your Sim Coordinator for further assistance with such tasks. A list of Sim Coordinators are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*If you requested a booth space, a booth has been provided for you. If it does not meet your needs, you may have it deleted, but please respect the view of your neighbors when designing your own booths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Your display may include a notecard and LM to another location. You may not sell your work here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You must be a member of the Second Life Birthday Exhibitors group in order to access The Rock. An effort has been made to group all exhibits by content type.  Exhibitor Assistants will have a list available to direct you to your assigned spaces. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR SIM COORDINATOR FOR A GROUP INVITE! They are extremely busy working on other things in an effort to ensure you have the most positive experience possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If you cannot use your space, please IM the group and request help from a Exhibitor Assistant. The Exhibitor Assistant will provide this information to your sim Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Exhibitors have 7 days to claim their land by putting a prim on. June 11th is the last day to claim your land. We will give your land to anther exhibitor on June 12th, if you have not claimed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Please do not ask for an invitation to the group if you are not an exhibitor or assisting an exhibitor. The assistants will be screening all request against a database of applicant names. If you have not been referred by a current exhibitor or have not placed an application that has been received an acceptance letter via email or in-world notecard, you will not be granted access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Staff==&lt;br /&gt;
If you are thinking of volunteering to work at SL6B, read this: The Second Life Birthday Production Team will be a no-drama zone. It&#039;s goal-oriented, get-&#039;er-done work, all accomplished behind the scenes. While it&#039;s very fun and satisfying, it is no place for a big ego or someone who needs to be the center of attention or in control. It&#039;s collaborative. &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; is a big word around here; be prepared to work with others and be good at reaching a goal, even if it&#039;s not the road you might have chosen if working alone!&lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us, and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the ides &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing as they share their personal visions of what they believe the future holds.  &lt;br /&gt;

==June 23 — June 29, 2009==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2009, Second Life turns 6 years old. Hey! This is your second half-decade! Now you&#039;re *so* much more sophisticated than 5, but still hovering near the oven, anxious to devour the cake, and wondering what 6 has in store for you. Or, for that matter, what about 7? 10? 15? Where do the years go, anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since you&#039;re never content with things as they are, the event this year is a challenge to Residents: show how you intend to make things in 5, 10 or 100 years. The Birthday theme this year is &#039;&#039;&#039;The Future of Virtual Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; and we&#039;re betting you have some pretty awesome visions to share of the future you&#039;re building here. How will Virtual Worlds work? How will they look? How will they be part of everyday life? How will we learn, socialize and evolve in them? How will they affect your beliefs, and be affected by your actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SL6BFINALLOGOcr.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again, Linden Lab has set aside 20 regions for the Birthday celebration, and Residents are building their particular future to share with you. The event infrastructure is nearly complete, and it looks great. It&#039;s a little dark, and a little shiny. It&#039;s a little inspiring, and a little dystopian. It&#039;s decidedly 3- dimensional. Think in light. Think in concept. Look up. Look under. Look in and listen closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications to build an exhibit are now closed. We will be reviewing all submitted applications next, and hope to have announcements going out to accepted exhibitors by June 1. Exhibitors will have a full 2 or 3 weeks on-site to build. The event will open June 23, and officially run for a week, (though we will keep the gates open for a week beyond that so that plenty of people can come by for a visit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==About The Theme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 We are LIVE from Dallier&#039;s Hope, 800 Light Years away we are spiraling through outer space on a Meteor disovered by Space Explorer Ghorman Dallier in 2499 while searching for new worlds to inhabit! Although we&#039;re too far away from the sun to see it and any flora has to be kept in an AEC (Artificial Environment Chamber.) we still know how to throw a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The future is open to all sorts of interpretation, and to encompass the future, we looked to the past. In the beginning of Second Life, pioneering residents looked over this vast, empty landscape that was full of potential and promise. Everything was new to everyone, the concept of virtual worlds, the way we would adapt to custom content, how we would use the tools provided to us, and incorporate our own vision was all still yet to be discovered. It all began with an great open space, and the inspiration provided by the ides &amp;quot;Your World, Your Imagination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Six years later that world is merely a memory as time has moved at warp speed with the advancements of technology and adaptability of the platform. A few hundred users quickly became over a million. It has become a staple in education and commerce on a global scale. Never could have those early residents of that vast open world predict how Second Life would evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 With that in Mind, we took our Exhibitors far away from the green grasses and sandy beaches of their Second Life Grid and sent sent them into the stratosphere as the first colony of Dallier&#039;s Hope. A vast, open landscape waiting to be developed by the first new residents of the future of Virtual Worlds. What becomes of this great &amp;quot;Rock&amp;quot; remains entirely up to them, how they adapt and harness the power of their imagination to make something from next to nothing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event Policies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maturity Rating=== &lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure a comfortable experience for every Resident, the whole of the event will be accessible to general audiences.
