Third party control over virtual world characters

A system comprising:

• circuitry configured for establishing at least one oversight procedure of a real world supervisory non-player entity, the at least one oversight procedure providing (i) at least one requirement of participation by a virtual world character with respect to at least one first activity in at least one virtual world environment and (ii) at least one limitation on participation by the virtual world character with respect to at least one second activity in the at least one virtual world environment;
• circuitry configured for obtaining real world school class grade information of a real world individual associated with the virtual world character;
• and
• circuitry configured for, if the real world school class grade information of the real world individual associated with the virtual world character indicates that at least one real world school class grade is below at least one specified standard, implementing the at least one oversight procedure including (i) requiring at least some participation by the virtual world character with respect to the at least one first activity in the at least one virtual world environment and (ii) at least partially limiting participation by the virtual world character with respect to the at least one second activity in the at least one virtual world environment.

A system comprising:

• at least one article of manufacture bearing one or more instructions for facilitating operations including at least:
• establishing at least one oversight procedure of a real world supervisory non-player entity, the at least one oversight procedure providing (i) at least one requirement of participation by a virtual world character with respect to at least one first activity in at least one virtual world environment and (ii) at least one limitation on participation by the virtual world character with respect to at least one second activity in the at least one virtual world environment;
• obtaining real world school class grade information of a real world individual associated with the virtual world character;
• and
• if the real world school class grade information of the real world individual associated with the virtual world character indicates that at least one real world school class grade is below at least one specified standard, implementing the at least one oversight procedure including (i) requiring at least some participation by the virtual world character with respect to the at least one first activity in the at least one virtual world environment and (ii) at least partially limiting participation by the virtual world character with respect to the at least one second activity in the at least one virtual world environment.
