This document discusses strategies for virtual world projects and entertainment/relaxation. It notes that novelty, variety in conversations and people, and learning new things can help provide relaxation. An effective theme can unite the design, activities, and experience in a venue. For entertainment and relaxation, venues need to provide novelty, detail, other people, safety, and ways to think about something different to relax people's minds and bodies. When done well with courtesy and logistics, venues can attract regular visitors and create conditions where people relax and grow.

8. Entertainment and Relaxation
Principles
● People entertain people best.
● Theme is, in the best sense of the word, an excuse to get
people to come together at a scheduled time and place.
● The theme has to be good, to get people to come there the
first time.
● The courtesy, activities, and logistics have to be
impeccable, to keep people willingly coming back.
● When people relax, they grow (absorb new knowledge,
network)
● It is possible to create the conditions for relaxation
