Well we just finished hosting our event! it is such a relief now that its over and knowing that we did a pretty good job. Im very pleased with the way everything turned out. At first i was worried that alot of people werentr goona show up and that our entire event was goign to be a flop, but it wasnt 
. We did our publicizing and marketing well i think. Passing out notecards to people throughout second life emailing SLED and by telling out friends through word of mouth worked well and we had wayyy more people that i had originally expcted. The neginning of our event was a litle rough. id say like the first 30 minutes. THis is becuase people just kept filing in one by one eveyr couple of minutes, so there were some people who were set and ready to go and then some people who hadnt gotten the equipment yet. i guess this was our mistake. Once we had a good emount inside we should have kept everyone else outside until the start of then next game. If we held this event again, we would definately fix that problem.
The distribution of the laser tag itself was a little confusing. This was the first time that i was doing somethign like this so i dont know of any other solutions to make it easier. maybe the system itself was too complex. Im assuming it was made for experienced people who combat in second life alot. Our ever consisted mainly of newbies and people who had nevr played virtual laser tag before.
Once we started the first game (which was preeety good) it seemed like smooth sailing from there. It was easier to get the game started and integrate the new people who had showed up to the game. ALex had made a note card that he kept distributing to the new people, so that they would know what to do. I think that was a good idea on his part. Overall i think we did a good job, cuz no one from the event got bored and just left.
Ill be making another post about our evet later, i just wanted to post this one now since the event just ended. Im glad our event was a success
