WHAT FIRST INTERESTED YOU IN BEING A GREETER?
I enjoy helping people ,teaching them the basics and encouraging them to stay. I like to explain all the interesting things they can find in Sl and the utility which often it brings. When first i joined second life i had to learn alone feeling lost sometimes.So i decided to join greeters to give a hand if some one experiences difficulties .Moreover is a good way to socialize.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE INTERESTING THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN OR HEARD WHILE GREETING?

It takes a book to tell .I have often seen people mistaking second life for a love- sex site .I came across people who wrongly have been told that second is a marriage killer and that people use it as a real life substitution.I always make my best to prove they are wrong showing them the sane and genuine side of second life.

WHAT FIRST INTERESTED YOU IN BEING A GREETER?

I was born in Hyde Park London and loved the helpful and friendly environment , explored sl but always returned to the community there , so as I am there a lot decided I may as well help others arriving into sl and meet even more exciting and mainly friendly people. Plus share the things I’ve learned with them to make there SL experience good too.  Learn as I go some days which is fantastic even after over 2 years SL can amaze me.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE INTERESTING THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN OR HEARD WHILE GREETING?

I think every day is interesting you never know what is going to happen, if it’s going to be busy or quiet. I’ve heard things good and bad, as many are on their first visit to sl they sometimes become abusive and scared by it luckily most with some help and time get past that , the ones who don’t are generally  alts that like to grief for pleasure and there’s a place for them I’m sure but not in Hyde Park we like to keep it fun there :) a lot of people are regulars to the park so  we have a good atmosphere and generally relaxed so on arrival new residents feel homely and regularly return which is great you get to see them grow in sl , buy a house , buy a shop, get land , married etc , etc . To me that makes it worthwhile I’ve helped someone make their way in sl and I end up being like a aunty who listens to their problems, whatever it maybe or helps when they lose their hair , there shape, there house  .for a new  resident to im me and say I’ve done this and I’ve don’t that and be excited about  it just makes my greeting day all the better :) love the positive side of greeting hate the dark side the grief the abuse the fact that people actually come to sl to be nasty for fun can be annoying and tense some days but luckily the good always wins over the bad.
