I have always wanted the sims to be an online world (like second life, I guess). However, they haven’t done that. Although I am pretty sure it would be a huge hit if they did. They would probably charge our eyes out because I bet every piece of furniture would cost us money (although I think in the sims 1 online you were allowed to work in game and make money). Anyways, I still think it would be cool. You could get married to other people online and have kids and stuff. Here’s my idea of how it could work out:

1-You wouldn’t be just one Sim, you’d be a family, or a max of 8 sims per household and lets say you are only allowed one household (or you can buy more households for a fee). While you play with one the other ones are npc controlled (like in the regular game). Something like a plumbob over a sim would let you know if there is someone controlling other sims you’d find in the online world.
2- If you wanted to get married and have kids – You could, just like in the sims 3. If you marry someone else you both gain control of the household and can play as either character. If they want to get a divorce they get to pick who keeps what (house, furniture, etc)
3- interactions would have to be approved by both parties (if someone wants to kiss me, I have to approve it) things like that.
4- When your sim dies of old age, you can continue to play as his/her child. If all your household dies out, then you get a choice to start all over (but you’d lose your previous house).
5- You age per real day of game play (say, you have to log in 10 different days to age up, if you don’t log in, the day doesn’t count. It doesn’t have to be 10 days, that was an example).

What other things would you add?

I’ve already had an online business that was pretty successful, though it was a “partnering” type business, in which they were responsible for advertising, which at 1st was GREAT for several yrs.–Long story short-changed hands, so I got out of it a few yrs. ago. ANYWAY, I haven’t given up on my idea[s] & would love to learn anything I can pertaining to the game plan in ads, marketing, global marketing.
I SAW THIS AWESOME CLASS [expensive though] offered at Columbia University Business School called, “Creative Strategy: The Key to Innovation.” Would you ever want to take a class like this, &/or do you think it would be helpful to me with what I am striving to achieve?
Well they are teaching strategy–or how to incorporate this w/your creative ideas. Get the idea?

I am creating some sales on eBay.de and I need to translate the following:

All Merchandise is 100% Authentic – We’ll Prove It To You (And Customs)

-All Products Are Purchased From Mall At Millenia Abercrombie/Hollister Orlando, Florida or Abercrombie.com/Hollister.com.

NOTE: English is my primary language, but I speak a little German and I can translate messages online. Please excuse any typos or grammatical mistakes.
I tried translating it on Google and it comes out with parts untranslated.
I also speak a little German: enough to know that it was translating a lot of stuff wrong or in a manner that would read very strangely to a native speaker.

Okay. So I am a Freshman in high school right now. We are about to get out and start the summer. We are about half way through the second semester. I have been currently talking to my mom about online high school. When we went out at lunch a few days ago she brought up the subject (I did not) about home-schooling me. Not like being with me and home-schooling me, but getting me with this program we have here in Washington called Insight School of Washington. It is a free online high school. They send you a free laptop, a free printer, ink cartridges for the printer, textbooks, etc. Of course, I will have to give this all back when I am done with school. But, they also pay part of your Internet bill because it requires wireless Internet, which we already have. Anyways, sorry if I am rambling on. But, I think it sounds like a good idea. I get distracted in public school anyways and I love to work independently and this sounds almost too good to be true. The online school also has a lot more choices for courses than public high school. Anyways, I have recently been researching about college. Like the cost of college and which college I would like to attend. I will not be living in Washington after I graduate high school. I do not like living here and plan on taking my life somewhere else. I had a deep passion about going to college in southern California, but I don’t really know anymore. I would love to attend college in Canada or Australia. Right now that is what I have my mind set to. I think my mom wants me to do a year of high school in another country. You know, the foreign exchange student program?? I thought that would be really cool! If I did that I would most likely want to do it in Australia. Then go to college in Canada. After I am done with college I am moving back to the US and going to live in the LA area with hopefully a great job. I want to major in Journalism. I love to write and I am really good at it. I want to be either a newspaper writer/journalist or a talk show host/radio host. That is my dream/goal in life. I am so excited! Anyways, I have a few questions…
1-How much do you think it would cost to do some college in Canada and would it be a hassle since I am a US citizen?
2-What is the foreign exchange student program and does it cost money? Who do you live with when you are in the different country doing school?
3-What University for Journalism/Mass Communications do you recommend in Canada? America?
4-Can I still receive scholarships and grants if I attend a college outside of the US?
5-How hard is it really to get your own talk show or radio show?
Thanks so much for the answers and thanks for taking your time out of your day for answering my questions. I will give 10 points to the best answer.

I’m not so sure it’ll be exactly that [borrowing $]~but will def ask via email what all the class entails.
I believe I worded this incorrectly~it’s not really a motivational class but more of a class on strategy and how to incorporate this with your creative ideas.
{I just think it feeling a bit motivational will be a big plus}.
