Crew Meeting

Last Saturday, February 1, the Newser crew held a staff meeting at our office in HV Community to swap ideas for events. Attending from left to right were Gemma Cleanstlate, Bixyl Shuftan (myself), Penny (Deaflegacy), new reporter Angel Fencer (Ender Leven), and Cyfir (Cyfiremmerich Resident). My friend Velani was also there.

January was a month that allowed us a slight breather after the Christmas season, which allowed us to write about things such as "Top Stories of the 2010s" and "Bus Tour Across Second Life." February has always been a bit more active with Valentines Day, then One Billion Rising. But with the start of the Relay for Life fundraising season moved up from March to February, well, it makes things interesting.

Get ready for more exciting news stories.

Our new writer Angel Fencer (Ender Leven) recently got a job as one at a club. So what is it like and how did she end up there?

Reader Submitted: My Story at Virsino

Today's reader submission was sent by Angel Fencer (Ender Leven). In her story, she describes her experience at a gaming hall, Virsino. Although she found the experience rewarding, both entertainment and financial-wise, she cautioned residents about just going up and gambling. This goes double in real life in which the risks are much greater.
