What's Fraud got to do with this?
Ok, many of you might know about the whole situation going on with the new Terms of Service, but honestly, I feel there is a couple of reasoning behind it. Why the privacy intrusions we need to continue? It's definitely making us feel more unwelcome towards expressing all kinds of new styles of creativity or any other type of communication?
Here in RL, I might be 21 years old, but I have something many people cannot have a RL job,due to this. It's really unfair that we are subject to these kind of things due to disabilities that are created not by creativity. I consider this as a job in a way, since I have a talent far few people have.. but why should WE get hurt by this kind of things over unfair regulation?
Applying for a job here where I live is almost impossible.The fact I have a tougher time to also finish my college due to limitations in RL (plus not much money to work with) really makes this a lot more difficult. Then, greed and fraud also play another role. With a virtual world generating over $500 million USD in transactions (2nd highest in the world)
Ok, here is a couple of changes SOME PEOPLE SHOULD CONSIDER should 3rd Party Exchanges are not allowed anymore.
1) Faster cash rates (and cheaper L$ exchanges). 5+ business days is unacceptable to many people. I'm for one for someone who actually can wait, but there would be times where I can't wait (like taking advantage of sales). Cause the sales I've actually used L$ to purchase the titles I needed it instant or at least within 3 business days (most sales start Wednesdays).
2) European transaction fees - At current transaction fees this is killer to our fellow European supporters. If the exchange allows acceptance of Euro / Pounds, the transactions would be more fair... already Europeans must pay VAT (Value Added Tax) and the transaction fee, and VAT can range anywhere from 5% - 25%.
Survival of certain people relies on talents and expertise.
Why make it tougher then it already does? This is just going to really impact many people's talents. I might not be a graduate, but I'm trying as hard as I can to ensure I can survive. While its lower then minimum wage, its "enough" to survive... and as I posted in my previous post, I don't expect $4,000+ USD a month, all I expect is an amount which is enough to survive. And I am for one, that only needs enough to help... but soon, it will be impossible to survive. I've made "some" money, but I've lost a lot more then gained overall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Star Fishing's beta has been finally announced to the public, it is set to begin officially on June 7th, 2013 and we are aiming for a major hype over this game because we've been working on it for many months (almost a year) and we are trying to see that we are a great group of people in the Rise Star Social group! Look to the right for a countdown timer!
I can't wait to see what people's reactions will be when they see the game in its full light. I have spent over hundreds of hours to make this become a reality. Please buy a Star Hunting package (if you are reading this) and see how great our product support is as well as the purpose of the product. We want to hear your feedback!

Rise Star Gaming Report: Early December 2012
Welcome to the Rise Star Gaming Report
Early December 2012 Edition
Lately there has been various attacks and reports I have received about some "other game" that has attacked me because I have been a threat to their growth. Now, if their greed did not take over, I would be willing to grow that and forget that, but nope. Instead, their "greed" has forced us to spawn Rise Star Gaming, which already has over 3,400 registered players and many of them are pretty happy with the way we have been treating players.
I have paid over L$500,000 to avatars over the close 5 month span and we are still growing at a moderately high pace then ever, because of all our rewards. The loot bags have been a hit with players (over 10,000 total loot bags opened) as well as the fun, and everlasting Star Destiny Wheel, now with over 2,200 spins used as of this report. Over L$150,000 of my own earnings have been paid towards these fun rewards.
Many people are getting upset or concerned also about the attacks as well. It is causing a shift between games. The fact is, I do not care or endorse anyone who does try other things (Because I honestly do not care about that.) but if people get banned for sneezing the wrong way, or by trying to defend against people, is beyond me.
People have enjoyed the Star Hunting, and with Star Fishing I will be continuing the trend of making sure people grow as happy as they can be. Landowners will receive love as I introduce a very interesting way on how we will host events in sims.
Unlike being forced to do a x2 payout event with the funds of "other people" I will be using my own personal funds (some of which go towards the reopening of White Spade Gaming) to host events for other people. But, the question is: How will we decide what multiplier payout will we set? Well, let me answer that!
It seems many people already enjoyed spinning our prize wheel. So, I've created one for fish event hosting. Very special players will get the honor of spinning our event wheel when I feel like funding one owner's buoy (does not matter what fee rate!) and what it lands on, if the owner sets it to that, I'll fund that buoy with my OWN MONEY. (something no other game has ever done before)
The point of this is to get landowners recognized. Without the landowners, players will not have places to play or collect lindens for. Since the start of Rise Star Gaming, we've been intent towards helping landowners by providing dedicated support and making sure people get what they want. The fact that our free package is 65% fee is good, because some people tend to upgrade to as low as 10% over time, thanks to the game helping them make money towards upgrading.
And, to top that off you have owners who don't just watch over the game, but also if you pay attention to the Rise Social Group, you could win various prizes depending on the challenge through Rise Challenges. Those usually consist of silly tasks like "Collect an item" or "Guess what Warden does" type situations. Players have enjoyed these Challenges I host, because it is something different then Star Trivia, which will make a comeback in the December months. I continue to bring new ways to win Rise Star Prizes daily, and will not give up ever. (always dependent on Real Life.)
There are many things out there in Second Life.
What will you do with Rise Star Fishing comes out?
Will you be prepared for the most legendary game out there?
Will you finally learn the truth?
Only time will tell.
