Reminds me of when I was joking around at the gate area 2 months ago, and in
a sarcastic comment said "Everyone here tonight is an idiot". Some person
who doesn't know me or my sense of humor (however bad it may be) suddenly
started cussing at me in whisper, telling me I was mean, and how dare I say
that to the nice people at the gate, etc, etc. This "idiot" dragged me over
the coals for more than an hour, using language I dare not repeat here, no
matter how much I tried to explain myself. My friends at the Gate tried to
explain to him that I was only joking around, but he would not let up on the
4 and 5 letter word barrage of insults he hurled at me. All because I said
in jest that someone was an "idiot". I have NEVER known that word to be
racially connected, nor THAT much of an insult to ANYONE. I wonder....are
you asking because someone in AW gave you a hard time also for using that
word???? I wonder if it's the same person. I'm ready to start up a
collection to buy that man some Valium. Let me know sometime who it was so
we can rally to get this guy some professional help. ;-"D

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dontchya love it???? Happens to me all the time. A new
builder asks ya to look at his/her "creation" and asks for yer opinion or
help. And when you offer the suggestions/advice they take offense. Never
fails. That's why I stopped offering my advice/suggestions/opinions on most
amateur builds. Cause the builders simply are not mature enough to be open
to suggestions or new ideas, or to take constructive criticism. ;-"D

I totally agree hon. Not to mention that we blondes are restricted to using
only 1, maybe 2 avs in any given world that most closely resembles us in
real life. No offense intended, but I prefer not going as a red head, or
dark hair if possible. I also prefer not having to choose those awful
looking older avs with the elongated faces and toothpick shaped bodies. If a
world is going to offer those older avs, they could at least offer the bird
av too since this will be what most women would wear in that particular
world. I also don't like the business attire either. I don't wear a business
dress in real life and I prefer not to wear one in virtual reality if I can
help it. I could go on and on. I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the
female choices. ;-"D

I whole heartedly agree with you hon. It is considered sexist. I like to
think of myself as independent. I like to remain neutral on both issues. You
are correct though. If a world was designed for men only and didn't allow
women, the owner(s) would be called sexist(s). If a world was called KKK,
and it was restricted to only allowing white people, the owner(s) would be
considered prejudiced. If a world was reserved only for mosquitoes, the
butterflies would complain of bias. However, no matter what is right or
wrong morally or otherwise, (sad to say) the owner(s) have the right to who
they want in their world and who they don't. In this age of violence and
fear, the last thing any of us need is prejudice or hate or nontolerance. It
would be nice for public world owners to recognize this and disallow
segregation of any kind. If women don't want to be bothered by men, they
have thousands of acres of land throughout most of the public worlds to go
and "men-bash" or live in harmony without the hassle of dealing with
testosterone. If heteros don't want to be bothered by the gay community,
they can use the mute function. If the green people don't wanna be near the
purple people cus they have big noses they can go somewhere out in the
boonies. Nice thing about humans....we can adapt better than any other
creature on earth. (cept the cockroach) ~ ;-"D

I like your way of thinking hon. AW certainly needs to get "out there" and
publicize more. I'm sure there are many forms of advertising just waiting to
be utilized, all over the world, including the internet. How often do we
surf the web and see those annoying flashing banners advertising online
casinos?? Or website hostings?? I think the idea of getting some reward for
referring a paying customer is not only a great idea, but it is a
competitive one. I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that in
other universes. Then again, I've only visited a handful. LOL. I do hope
AWCom considers this idea, and if they implement it I hope they acknowledge
the clever person who suggested it with some kind of discount. ~ ;-"D

I'm sure there are some of you who didn't know Honeydukes was sick. I hate
telling people like this, but this medium has a broader audience than my

For those of you that knew her and loved her Honeydukes has passed away due

Right on hon!! Before anyone reads any further, I want to make it clear
that this is NOT directed at any particular person. It's getting to be a
flame fest in here anymore. I sit here and read all this and wonder to
myself, ...Are all these people that unhappy that they feel the need to
criticize each other "every" time someone makes a post? It makes me sad to
think of all the hatred in the world today and there seems to be not only
impatience here on the AW ngs, but in almost all the ngs I read these days.
Doesn't anybody have any tolerance for humanity anymore? To me, there is no
difference tween a ng and a message board. When someone would post in here
about how unhappy they were with the AW price changes/tourist changes, they
were yelled at cus a few people on here were tired of reading about it. When
people make innocent mistakes and its posted in here, there are a few people
who waste no time jumping down their throats and virtually "hang them".
Since we've all pretty much given up on discussing the AW price changes,
everything posted in here seems to be about what someone did or didn't do.
Ok, if the guy is innocent, I think an apology is in order in public to
clear his name. Not necessarily from any particular person either. Look at
what happened with Gavroche for example. A concerned guy heard that someone
he respected was killed and felt the loss emotionally. He felt loss in his
heart. He thought others should know and reacted by posting on here to
notify anybody else who might care. But what did some people do?? They
yelled at him. Called him a liar. Dragged him over the coals for not getting
more proof. If one of my online buddies were seriously injured or possibly
killed, I would have no real way of finding out either. I don't have the
phone number or address of any of my online friends. (I don't want to impose
that kind of request on them. Nowadays its risky to give out that kind of
information). I would have no way of verifying the information I heard. But
that wouldn't stop my emotions from upsetting me. AW is an emotional place
and so are the ngs. There are many ways of looking at things. All I'm saying
is, think before you (anyone on here) react to a posting. Some people
innocently get misleading information and react to it. And then they are
criticized by other people for misspelling, expressing their own views, or
pointing out something that should be brought to the AW community's
attention, (which is what this ng should be about anyway). Nobody should be
made to feel that they are unwelcome to this ng. This ng is not for the use
of a small group of people, it belongs to the AW community at large whether
that person is new to ng's or not. It should not be a place for belittling
or bickering. That should be done either in AW, another chat program, or
personal emails. I have read all the posts in this ng going back to early
last year, even though I didn't begin this ng till Jan 02. It "used to be" a
great place to get updates on all kinds of information. Now folks seem
intimidated to post anything. Even opinions good or bad. I for one feel
intimidated anymore to make any comments on here. Several long time AW
citizens have told me they don't feel comfortable making posts on here
anymore cus a few individuals would only pick them apart and criticize them
on their grammar, values, or information being presented. And I'll bet
somebody will have something nasty to say about "this" post as well. Heck, I
don't mind a difference of opinion, but who will be the first one to pick it
apart and criticize what I'm saying...what I feel inside? There's nothing
wrong with a debate. But why let it get out of control in public? Why let a
simple difference in opinion turn ugly and nasty on a message board? Life is
short folks. Value other people's perspectives more often and you will be a
better person for it. Ok....let the critiques begin....who's gonna be the
first.....?

Let us not forget there were a total of 4 hijacked planes that crashed in
the US that sorrowful day. Two in NYC, one in Washington, DC and another in
Pennsylvania. And NOBODY should be criticized in this particular topic.
Nearly everyone around the world, especially here in the states felt the
anguish, the fear, and the loss. The world will remember not only those who
were killed in those attacks, but also their families and friends. There
were thousands of innocent lives lost that day. NOBODY should stoop so low
as to pick apart the way someone wrote a posting. ~ ;-"<

I'm a bit confused,...silly me. Here is Gandolf, reminding us to JUST
REMEMBER!! Why is everyone so intent on bending this thread??????? How did
this thread turn into a battlefield of words. How did this thread turn into
an ugly bantering of who's country contributes the most, or who's country is
better than the others????? That tragedy cost thousands of lives. A lot of
them were people from other countries, either visiting or working in the US
at the time. It wasn't only an American loss. It was a world wide loss and
regardless of which country it was in, it SHOULD be remembered as a
TRAGEDY!!! Not picked apart by people who "think" they know what happened.
That isn't the point here. The point is, and I repeat yet again, it is a
tragedy of world wide proportions. This particular thread shouldn't be about
who is giving how much relief to other countries or for what. It shouldn't
be about anything else going on in the world today. It is about grief, and
anger, and compassion for the surviving families struggling to meet
expenses, find new jobs, raise their kids who are now missing a parent due
to what happened on 9/11. And not just in America. There are families
affected from England, Germany, France, Africa, Japan, and many others. We
here in America need to recognize that they weren't all Americans. And you
in other countries need to recognize this isn't just about America being
attacked, or us losing a landmark. The world is now suffering from a loss of
innocence. We all are suffering from an overabundance of hatred and
violence. All of us are in this together. Let's stop picking apart mere
words and get back on this thread shall we????? Time to take stock in our
hearts, not in the comparing of one country to another or who's right vs
who's wrong. Let's grow up a little folks. Let's just take one small moment
this week to contemplate what happened. Let's "feel" something for once,
shall we?

Obviously you miss the point here. How DARE you tell me or anyone how to
feel about anything??!! I have every right to feel anger, sadness or joy
whenever I want. So do you. But you have NO right to insinuate to others
what they SHOULD feel. This thread was meant as an expression of emotion,
not some battleground for political ethics or moral ethics. I fully support
ANYONE who wants to make a memorial or to remember innocent lives lost. Now
let's cut the crap and stop all this nonsense.

some of them come true in whatever you do in life hon. God bless, and hope

I do hope my tribe-mates forgive me for not getting home in time for our
first meeting. I really had no control over it since I depend on my job to
pay rent and bills and feed my family. I wish I had been able to get off
work early enough to enjoy the excitement of being in NGS2002 for the
official start of Survivor. However the medical staff and patients in the
busy medical clinic where I work don't share the same enthusiasm or
understand how important it is to me to be there. My thoughts and my spirit
were definately with everyone during our first meeting and selection of
tribes. I kept looking at the clock thinking to myself, "Come on you guys,
I'm missing my first meeting in AW Survivor!!!!!!!!!!!!" , but alas, it was
not meant to be. However when I did return home finally, at 12:00 pm VRT, I
was able to catch up on the ngs and Nornny's posting of the chat from the
meeting. After reading the posting, I logged into AW and right away entered
NGS2002 to look at the GZ where all the excitement took place only 7 hours
earlier. My little girl and I had fun downloading all the different avs and
she wanted to try out each one. I added my team mates names to my contact
list and admired the beautiful sky and scenery surrounding me. I look
forward to meeting all my tribe-mates and Nornny on Saturday. And I hope to
prove myself to be a worthy team mate. I work hard, and will try, to the
best of my knowledge, to do the best job I possibly can to help my tribe
along. I have a great sense of humor ( some think), and since I'm an artist
in real life consider myself to be pretty creative when needed. I wish I
could say I've been fortunate at Bingo, but the luck of the Irish is not
with me at those times. hehehe. Will see ya'll soon. My tribe-mates can feel
free to add me to their contact list and gram me if they want. GO

Imagine my surprise upon entering NGS2002 late last night and discovering
that nobody did anything with the supplies we were given. It was not a
disappointed type of surprise, just a shock that I was the first one to
stumble upon all that fun stuff to play with. hehehe. After reading the
website and our borderline flaming profiles that Nornny put together for us,
I telegrammed Maki, since he was the only one besides myself who was logged
on. (I also grammed Builderz, but with those STUPID question marks now on
our contact lists, I can't tell anymore who is on and who is off) Maki soon
joined me and together we giggled over all the luxury items and supplies. It
took silly ole me a little while to figure out why there were 3 large X's on
the ground. I couldn't for the life of me think of anything we could
possibly make with 3 large X's. Then after right clicking on one, it dawned
upon me. I slapped myself on the forehead in real life when I realized they
were crossed poles and we have the blessed opportunity of being able to put
them upright!!!!!! (I don't have that luxury in building in alphaworld) Maki
thought I was off my rocker. I had a GREAT time playing with posts, turning
them this way and that, trying to put together a ramshackle shelter for our
tribe. After an hour or two of not making much progress we went exploring
and found a bunch of flower.rwx's and tree.rwx's. We read and reread the NG
post that Nornny was so kind to leave us with the building instructions we
must adhere to. I must admit, I was very hesitant to dup anything since I
got the impression the bot was recording every move the objects made. I was
perfectly satisfied moving trees and plants across the landscape to our
little camp. But Maki reassured me and soon he was planting a forest around
our camp while I was busy hanging vines and making a lean-to. The B.I.
wasn't too happy with me and it too some finagiling to reduce the object
limit. Before long I figured out a way of providing shelter with the wood we
were provided with. With some effort and some muscle pulls, I managed
somehow to pull together some boulders for a wall here, and some palm trees
for a roof there. Hard to believe I was building for 4 whole hours!!! (Just
like the old days ;-"D ) When I finally forced myself to log off at 4:45
am, my eyes felt like they were sagging down to my shoulders and as I lie in
bed I had a difficult time falling asleep. I couldnt' stop thinking about
what else I could do or build for our tribe. LOL. I can't wait to see what
my tribe mates have come up with and I hope they like what Maki and I did
already. ~ Lioness ;-"D

Jul 7, 2002, 7:33pm

Ahem......I'd like to get some things cleared up please. First of all, when
I got to our campsite and saw all those objects just laying around in no
particular order, I naturally assumed nobody was doing anything with them.
The couple of people from our camp who were logged on didn't answer my grams
(they have question marks in front of their names). Maki was the only brave
one to join me. I didn't bring my ESP.rwx with me, so I had no way of
knowing since nobody left any notes or anything on them. My first thought
was that we needed a shelter to protect Binary's flame and Builderz and
Gamecube's puters from the elements. So I set to work right away before any
stormclouds blew in. Again, it would have been nice if I had known someone
was already planning to do something. Imagine my shock and horror when I
came back and found the shelter I had worked so feverishly on for our whole
tribe, was dismantled. And other individual shelters were being made. So
much for team work and togetherness eh guys? Today when I arrived at our
campsite I noticed our sleeping bags and tent mysteriously disappeared.
Thank goodness Maki found them under our flagpole hill. Somebody is having a
lot of fun playing with our minds. We have to pull together as a team folks.
It's difficult enough that we all have real life obligations and can't
always be with our fellow tribe members for critical decision making. But
leaving notes to each other I think would help a lot, which is why i left a
few for my teamies to let them know what i did and why and to let them know
it was ok for them to move things around if they wanted. Maki and I rebuilt
our tribal shelter, and put the sleeping bags inside it. It is for all of
us, not just for me or for Maki.
Nornny hon.......you need to do some revision of the website. First
off,.......why am I the only target for the popularity poll for the past 5
days?????? We have 16 members. Time for someone else to get the negative
attention for once. Also ....the latest entry you made featured this
sentence:
"Thanks to Lioness, her luxury item has given Nebewi a single flame to
light their camp when it's dark."
Excuse me hon....but my luxury item was a lake, not a flame. And how can a
lake illuminate the other camp???? I belong to "Robego", not "Nebewi".
Binary is the one who chose a flame as a luxury item in our camp, "Robego".
Nuff said for now I think. ~ ;-"/

Dear Diary,
What an interesting adventure this Survivor game is. Some of us haven't
even met yet and already we're being made to look like we're conspiring
against one another. Being a big fan of the Survivor game on TV, I knew one
of the first things we would need would be a shelter for all of our tribe,
to protect us from the wind and weather. Little did I know some of our tribe
members had their own agenda and chose to build their own isolated shelters.
I was hoping we could work together as a team, but I suppose that is just a
pipe dream of mine. I had a feeling Nornny would be monitoring all
chat/whispers/ and possibly grams too. Funny, but when I read that copied
chat, it depicts something other than what I was trying to convey. The
meaning behind what I said was that as a team we need better communication.
I was truly grateful that Mod left us a note. We may have different
schedules but notes are very helpful to us all, even if they are written in
the sand. Telegrams work nicely too. I do hope my tribe mates don't take the
tribal shelter offensively. It was meant to bring us together, not rip us
apart. I want to thank Binary Bud for his luxury flame.rwx. Without that
item we wouldn't have been able to see anything in the dark or keep warm
when it got chilly. It came in real handy too for toasting marshmallows and
roasting hotdogs ;-"D . I tried out that new challenge "Protect the Fire".
After playing it for an hour, my right wrist got numb and I had to quit. I
have to admit, it might very well be my next addiction. hehehe. Needless to
say I didn't do as well as I thought, but I will keep practicing until I
beat my own high score. I hope to make my tribe proud.
(((((((((Hugz)))))))))))) to pixelot, who unfortunately couldn't make it to
his camp before they voted him off. Knowing how demanding real life can be,
I can sympathize with his angst. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting more
of my tribe-mates soon. Maki is very sweet, but its looking bad for us since
we seem to be on at the same time every day. It makes us look like we're an
alliance or plotting against everyone else when it really isn't that at all.
It would be nice having at least one or two more people around to share
their insights/input about the camp setup, etc. I wish I knew a better way
to get some of those lurkers to visit our camp more often. ~ Lioness
;-"D
