[21:44] Phoebe Isenia: oh ic
[21:44] Harlo Juliesse: thank you
[21:45] Phoebe Isenia: i thought it's a rule of vampires in SL
[21:45] Phoebe Isenia: won't you die of the lach of blood?
[21:45] Harlo Juliesse: you can, if you do not hunt..but nowadays you can buy a tank of blood or get forever protection so you cant die..like myself
[21:45] Phoebe Isenia: oh~got it
[21:46] Harlo Juliesse: hunting is about growth...
[21:46] Phoebe Isenia: hunt for blood?
[21:46] Harlo Juliesse: you dont just take souls to take souls..
[21:46] Phoebe Isenia: oh~
[21:46] Phoebe Isenia: ic hunt for souls
[21:46] Harlo Juliesse: if a person wants to be a vampire...they hav eto be certified
[21:47] Harlo Juliesse: no you dont hunt for souls
[21:47] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[21:47] Phoebe Isenia: so what will you do with the souls?
[21:47] Harlo Juliesse: its like recruitment...these ppl become your friends..some even your best friends and you are in charge of keeping their blood leevls high and protecting them as well as mentoring them about bloodlines and hunting themseves
[21:48] Harlo Juliesse: for themselves
[21:49] Harlo Juliesse: i dont really pay much attention to rank..which many ppl do..all my minions are my true best friends in sl..i only have 9 friends who are lieged to me...some ppl have 1000 or more
(A Moral Vampire for Charlotte)
[21:49] Phoebe Isenia: u mean those people who were bitten by you (whose souls are taken by you) will become your responsibility? u have to protect them and even become their friends?
[21:49] Harlo Juliesse: its your duty as their mentor to make sure that they understand how bloodlines runs and also the rules of which the clan they join
[21:50] Harlo Juliesse: everyone of my minions knows i am there for them whenever they need me
[21:51] Phoebe Isenia: oh~ i c
[21:51] Phoebe Isenia: so whenever the avatar is bitten by a vampire, then they'll have to care about their bloodline?
[21:51] Phoebe Isenia: and also join your clan?
[21:52] Harlo Juliesse: when a person chooses to be bitten...they should be knowledgeable about bloodlines and want to join the clan by whom they are being bitten by
[21:53] Harlo Juliesse: i always tell potential new minions or friends that are not vampires..to do their research on clans and find the best one that suits them
[21:54] Phoebe Isenia: because i was once received a window which shows that a person wants to animate my avatar
[21:54] Phoebe Isenia: and I did not know what it was at that time
[21:54] Harlo Juliesse: so they asked to bite you without asking for your permission?
[21:54] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[21:54] Harlo Juliesse: that is bad..that is consider a spammer
[21:54] Phoebe Isenia: and i alomost click accept
[21:55] Phoebe Isenia: oh~
[21:55] Harlo Juliesse: those type of vampires are collectors of souls..usually to sell them to other vampires or imporve their rank
[21:55] Phoebe Isenia: but i refused~ thank god XD
[21:55] Phoebe Isenia: oh!! ic
[21:55] Harlo Juliesse: good as you should of
[21:56] Phoebe Isenia: so moral vampires will ask before they bite? i suppose
[21:56] Phoebe Isenia: lol
[21:56] Harlo Juliesse: the good ones always do
[21:56] Phoebe Isenia: and what kind of avatars will you bite
[21:56] Harlo Juliesse: besides it is not right to take someone soul if they do not want to play the game nor be a aprt of it
[21:57] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[21:57] Harlo Juliesse: well you can be a vampire, a lycan or both which is a hybrid
[21:57] Phoebe Isenia: they'll become victims
[21:57] Harlo Juliesse: any avatar is acceptable..no discrimination
[21:58] Phoebe Isenia: but what kind of avatars do you like to bite :p
[21:58] Harlo Juliesse: no not victims lol..most of them become redeemers or blood dolls..usually letting vamps bit ethem and recieveing an apple or 14L
[21:58] Phoebe Isenia: because once an avatar is bitten by you, then you should pay attention to them, right
[21:58] Harlo Juliesse: um i have no specific avatar desire..i am open to anyone
[21:59] Harlo Juliesse: i will mentor them yes
[21:59] Phoebe Isenia: anyone as long as they agree to be bitten by u? lol
[21:59] Harlo Juliesse: usually before i ever bite someone i get to know them first..feel them out, I dont bite just anyone
[21:59] Phoebe Isenia: oh ic~ sorry
[22:00] Harlo Juliesse: i never bring it up until they say..oh hey your a vampire..then i start to explain that i am and how it works
[22:00] Harlo Juliesse: some want to join..others do not..and i respect that
[22:00] Phoebe Isenia: u r a very considerate vampire!!!~
[22:01] Phoebe Isenia: is there any pros and cons for those avatars if they are bitten by you?
[22:01] Harlo Juliesse: thank you, i try to stem away from the stereotype because well i am awesome..and i love being a vampire
[22:01] Phoebe Isenia: cool
[22:02] Phoebe Isenia: so i think the stereotype for vampires in SL is that most of people will think that vampires will bite people at will
[22:02] Harlo Juliesse: the only con i have is...I cant fix everyones drama...i do my best to resolve their issues but they have to leanr how to do it on their own
[22:02] Harlo Juliesse: the stereotype is ALL vampires just want souls to gain rank
[22:03] Phoebe Isenia: u mean when you are role playing? the con?
[22:03] Phoebe Isenia: oh i can see
[22:03] Harlo Juliesse: no ppl bring in their rl drama lol
[22:03] Phoebe Isenia: oh!!~ lol
[22:03] Phoebe Isenia: u mean the issues in their real life?
[22:03] Harlo Juliesse: it gets tough ..especially when your minion is having an sl relationship but they bring it to rl
[22:03] Harlo Juliesse: gets comlicated
[22:04] Phoebe Isenia: so you are also like a ummm it's hard to understand...
[22:04] Harlo Juliesse: yea most ppl in sl tie in rl
[22:04] Phoebe Isenia: so you have to be a mental tutor as well?
[22:04] Harlo Juliesse: im like the mediator...i have to be like DR. Harlo
[22:04] Harlo Juliesse: haha
[22:04] Phoebe Isenia: oh~ i haven't confronted such problem yet...i'm a newie in SL
[22:04] Phoebe Isenia: hahaha
[22:05] Phoebe Isenia: u deserve it XD
[22:05] Harlo Juliesse: well when you get as old as me..you will encounter it
[22:05] Phoebe Isenia: ic
[22:05] Phoebe Isenia: can you tell me some probelms they meet?
[22:05] Harlo Juliesse: i actually got bitten without my consent
[22:05] Phoebe Isenia: and those u hardly solve?
[22:06] Phoebe Isenia: u mean before u are a vampire?
[22:06] Harlo Juliesse: problems would be having relationships both in rl and sl
[22:06] Harlo Juliesse: people lying about themselves
[22:06] Harlo Juliesse: mmm...stalkers
[22:06] Phoebe Isenia: relationships... u mean love affairs?
[22:07] Harlo Juliesse: no im takling full on relationships
[22:07] Harlo Juliesse: talking*
[22:07] Phoebe Isenia: ic
[22:07] Phoebe Isenia: i guess it one of the difficulties of being a good vampire
[22:08] Phoebe Isenia: but what pleasure do you attain from being a vampire?
[22:09] Harlo Juliesse: welll...seeing your minions participate in the clan..friends..good times..networking especially....my family is like my home away from home
[22:09] Harlo Juliesse: i have had so much fune
[22:09] Harlo Juliesse: fun*
[22:10] Phoebe Isenia: it really gives u a sense of connection
[22:10] Phoebe Isenia: i see
[22:10] Harlo Juliesse: yes
[22:10] Phoebe Isenia: is there any disavantage or advantage as a vampire?
[22:11] Phoebe Isenia: umm besides that you will confront some stereotype
[22:11] Harlo Juliesse: if you arent really motivated then being in a clan could be boring
[22:11] Harlo Juliesse: if you stay active and contribute..its more enjoyable
[22:11] Phoebe Isenia: umm i see
[22:12] Phoebe Isenia: it''s similar to what we do in rl
[22:12] Harlo Juliesse: yes
[22:12] Phoebe Isenia: everything can be fun as long as we are enthusiastic
[22:12] Harlo Juliesse: yes of course
[22:12] Phoebe Isenia: is there any benefit as a vampire?
[22:13] Harlo Juliesse: in terms of what

[22:13] Phoebe Isenia: let me see
[22:13] Phoebe Isenia: i don't know~ will u have some priviledge when doing or participating something?
[22:14] Harlo Juliesse: usually in a family you have a king and queen and then the royal family
[22:14] Harlo Juliesse: for instance i am a Baroness
[22:14] Harlo Juliesse: so the more you do in a clan..you can be offereda title
[22:15] Phoebe Isenia: wow
[22:15] Phoebe Isenia: so the rank is very clear
[22:15] Harlo Juliesse: it has to be voted on and usually you have to be recommended
[22:16] Harlo Juliesse: then Royal council determines if your ready for such a title
[22:16] Phoebe Isenia: o so the family of vampires is democratic, too!
[22:16] Harlo Juliesse: hehe
[22:16] Phoebe Isenia: cool

Progressive Report I

The Motivation of our Final Project Topic

Vampires has long been a mystery for people. Therefore, we were very curious about the vampires in Second Life. We wondered not only their life style but motivation of being vampires.

Before we decided our topic, we had different experiences of meeting vampires. It was really interesting. One of the members in our group has talked to the vampire directly. As for me, I had an experience of nearly biting by a vampire when I was in a beach. There was a window showed up and asked me whether I could let somebody animate my avatar or not. I was confused at that time, so I refused the request. Later on, a friendly man came to chat with me, and I opened up a conversation about vampires. He had little understanding of vampires, and told me that the request of animating my avatar was a request of biting me. Thank god I didn't accept the request.
After I shared the experience with my group members, all of us were curious about the consequence of being bitten by vampires. As a result, we made up our mind to discover the mystery of vampires. and entered the unknown world of being a vampires!

Progressive Report II

Firstly, we divide our questions into two parts.
One is related to personal experiences, and the other the basic knowledge of being a vampire.

Personal experiences:

1.Why do you want to be a vampire?
2.What pleasure do you attain from being a vampire?
3.Do you believe in the existence of vampires in reality?
4.Is being a vampire the same as your imagination?
5.What are the pros and cons of being a vampire?
6.Have you confronted any stereotype on vampires in SL?

Basic Knowledge of vampires:

1.Do they have regular activities in some sites?
2.How to be a vampire?
3.What are the rules of being a vampire?
4.After becoming a vampire, will they have a tutor or guide to teach them something? And what’s “something” all about?
5.How to get enough blood for the whole vampire family? Is blood the necessary for maintaining the life or you have the substitute?

By the way, we'll keep updating and adding our questions to the list!!

And the following is the transcript when we were discussing what questions should we ask to the vampires:

[18:47] Phoebe Isenia: let's have some questions
[18:47] Charlotte Mohegan: Ｄo they have regular activities in some sites
[18:47] Phoebe Isenia: hey i just interview with a nice man last time
[18:47] Phoebe Isenia: and when i at the beach i received an invitation that someone wants to animate my avatar
[18:48] Phoebe Isenia: hey do u hear me
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: yes
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: go on
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: and what do u get
[18:48] Phoebe Isenia: and the nice man told me that it was an invitation from the vampire. he wants to bite me
[18:49] Phoebe Isenia: and the nice man explain to me that why those vampires need to bite people
[18:49] Charlotte Mohegan: waht
[18:49] Phoebe Isenia: he said he isn't clear of the activities of the vampires
[18:49] Charlotte Mohegan: so the nice man is a vampire?
[18:49] Phoebe Isenia: but he knew they have some kind of contest
[18:49] Phoebe Isenia: nope
[18:49] Phoebe Isenia: he's a passerby
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: what is "animate my avatar"
[18:50] Phoebe Isenia: and so they have to bite as more people as they could
[18:50] Phoebe Isenia: means be bitten
[18:50] Phoebe Isenia: you'll have a window on your right corner
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: oh
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: ic
[18:50] Phoebe Isenia: and says XXX would like to animate your avatar
[18:50] Phoebe Isenia: then you have to choose yes or no
[18:51] Charlotte Mohegan: so the vampire has a contest ?
[18:51] Charlotte Mohegan: that is weird
[18:51] Phoebe Isenia: if you choose yes, when you don't know what does that mean
[18:51] Phoebe Isenia: then you'll be bitten
[18:51] Phoebe Isenia: and the nice man also tell me what are the features of the vampires
[18:51] Phoebe Isenia: cool
[18:51] Charlotte Mohegan: I know , our topic can be the representation of the vampire in SL
[18:51] Phoebe Isenia: or
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: they create their own tradition of vampire
[18:52] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[18:52] Phoebe Isenia: just as u said before
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: but who know whether that are the real tradition or not
[18:52] Phoebe Isenia: the mystery of vampires
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: yes
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: or the truth of the vampire
[18:52] Phoebe Isenia: so we discover the mystery of vampires in SL
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: you said that the nice man told u where are those vampires gather?
[18:53] Phoebe Isenia: umm
[18:53] Phoebe Isenia: he wants to tell me more
[18:53] Phoebe Isenia: but i was going to have lunch
[18:53] Phoebe Isenia: so i said good bye with him
[18:53] Phoebe Isenia: but he added me as his friend!!~
[18:54] Charlotte Mohegan: I think they create their tradition on purpose , so they can have things to do in SL
[18:55] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[18:55] Charlotte Mohegan: yes why did he knows so much?
[18:55] Phoebe Isenia: and i figure out a question
[18:55] Phoebe Isenia: maybe it's common sense in sl
[18:55] Phoebe Isenia: why being a vampire in sl? hahahahaha
[18:55] Phoebe Isenia: and my second question
[18:56] Phoebe Isenia: what kind of pleasure do you attain when being a vampire?
[18:56] Charlotte Mohegan: yes
[18:56] Charlotte Mohegan: the second one can be the pros and cons of being a vampire
[18:56] Charlotte Mohegan: that would help us to get more information
[18:57] Charlotte Mohegan: I want to ask what's the difference between them and the vampires in the movies
[18:57] Charlotte Mohegan: or in the reality
[18:57] Charlotte Mohegan: second one: Do they have regular activities in some sites
[18:57] Phoebe Isenia: and do they believe in the existence of vampires in reality?
[18:57] Phoebe Isenia: i got three questions~~~
[18:58] Charlotte Mohegan: and this can extend to the tradition of the vampire culture
[18:58] Phoebe Isenia: your second question is like a 有標準答案的問題
[18:58] Phoebe Isenia: maybe that question we can find out ansers together
[18:58] Phoebe Isenia: i mean we don't have to ask this question seperately
[18:58] Charlotte Mohegan: yes but we still need some information
[18:59] Phoebe Isenia: only a person takes charge of this question
[18:59] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[18:59] Charlotte Mohegan: but I think when we are chatting that is helpful and it does not matter
[18:59] Phoebe Isenia: we can figure out some basic knowledge questions
[18:59] Phoebe Isenia: and your second question would be the first one
[18:59] Phoebe Isenia: and the second: how to be a vampire in sl
[19:00] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe different gruops of vampires has different activity
[19:00] Charlotte Mohegan: the first one?
[19:00] Phoebe Isenia: the one you said
[19:00] Phoebe Isenia: so i think you should think about another question as the questionaire

[19:01] Charlotte Mohegan: I forgat about first one!!XD
[19:01] Phoebe Isenia: you can see our history conversation

[19:05] Charlotte Mohegan: until 10:30 Emma would ask us about the subtopic and the question
[19:05] Charlotte Mohegan: yes

[19:06] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe they think they are doing this , but in fact they don't
[19:06] Phoebe Isenia: ok
[19:06] Phoebe Isenia: or we change the style of the question...

[19:09] Phoebe Isenia: as for the basic knowledge questions
[19:09] Phoebe Isenia: we don't need to interview with our vampires and seperately ask them
[19:10] Phoebe Isenia: it's a waste of time
[19:10] Roxanne Kristan: so
[19:10] Roxanne Kristan: we focus on personal questions?
[19:11] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[19:11] Charlotte Mohegan: thanks for your explanation
