For a while now I have been living with a secret that is not mine to tell, yet a humble burden to undertake. turn of recent events leads me to reveal some of the mystery behind one of Second Life’s most popular faces in culture. this post is not a joke, or a prank. Although the content of the post fits very well for the day.
This secret involves the twitter account SecondLie. for the uninitiated, SecondLie is a parody account that makes fun of Second Life. SecondLie is a mystery to many, and very few know the real entity behind it. Today I shall expose what SecondLie really is.
To start out SecondLie is a shared account between many users, Aiken to the basic idea of the Internet group Anonymous, although much more mild and with big contributing names in Second Life community. SecondLie is more of the accumulation of what users feel is wrong with Second Life. Everything is in good humor and fun, but also to let off much accumulated steam.
SecondLie’s account info is spread from user to user, and not from a single source. making it very hard to find the original account holder. There has been no leads for me to even consider who started it.
I am friends with a person who is part of SecondLie, but I will not reveal there name to honor an agreement we had previously made. There are at least 5-10 people part of SecondLie, and the creator is unknown to me and many of the collective. there have been suspicion to believe that several large bloggers & known content creators are part of SecondLie, I will refrain from naming them as I have no real facts to base it on, just strong suspicion.
[EDIT] I will not reveal whomever I find out to be part of SecondLie. I love the humor, and do not want to discourage anyone from doing it. [/edit]

I have been able to confirm my friend is part of SecondLie, we even joked about it when she / he stole my line “We don’t make sense so you don’t have to!” in Second Life, and posted it to the twitter account of SecondLie. my sources are reliable.
