This week we just continued working on our group project. The deadline is appraching fast, and we still have alot of work to do. This week i spent alot of time in Second Life, going to places that had people who would probably be interested in a laser tag tournament. I became friends with them and they told me that as i got more details to tell them, becuase they were really interested in coming to our event. They also said that they would tell their friends about it, so i guess word of mouth will help spread the word about our laser tag tournament.
My group needs to start finalizing our plans and then we need to move onto the next step of our event. WHich is probably finding the location and starting to build the building and obstacles needed to host our tournament. We also need to talk to some real life laster tag companies, manufacturers of laser tag equipment, or laser tag hosts within second life to see if they can be of any assistance to our project. Most people will be willing t o help if they know that we are students that are working on a project. This event wont cost them anything and it will probably be free advertising for them, so they should be willing to help. The main problem is finding these people and actually talking to them about it. Right now its hard to tell if our group is ahead of schedule, behind schedule or even on time at all. Im hoping that all the other members of the group are working on the project when they have the time.
I thinkour group is planning on meeting sometime early this week to start on the next stages of our event. I think the planning stages are finalyl over, and its time to start working on the actual event. Hopefully, our event will be a success and not a second life flop. I think if we all work together and actually use all the resources available to us people will actually come to our tournament and have a good time.

Good job on getting started on the project – I personally think it’s a good idea to get a head start, because then if problems arise you have time to adapt.
Like Joe said, having the project management plan will help you to know if you’re ahead or behind. It sounds as if you’re thinking and working already, though, which is excellent. Thank you for the blog post!
