<Displaying Communication.>

Greetings from the USS Glory! We have rescently discovered a civilization,
named Scarabian Republic. According to Federation Doctrine, we observe
cultures near Warp Technology discovery, and upon reaching Warp Technology
establish a First Contact so that an outer space surprise does not occur.
Rescently there has been an increased power signature coming from a large
radio tower of a facility called Windeval Prison in SW City. The power
required for it was so massive that a 'MADCorp' developed a prototype engine
that is the early stages of a warp drive. Hence, we offer our greetings.

The USS Glory has been deployed over neighboring seas to offer a chance for
your culture to embrace our own. The ship itself represents the
multi-purpose function of the United Federation of Planets. Onboard, the
ship has full recreational, science, and medical facilities. In addition,
standard weapons, control, and engineering systems are available for
inspection. For a limited time, we are offering a 'buy one- get a dozen
free' offer from our on ship Phaser armory. Feel free to stock up in the
latest weaponry. Our medical facility is currently investigating irregular
lifeforms know as 'Nimbusians' in the vicinity. They are very courious in
design. We will have to abduct and prod a few for good measure.

I am ordering the Communications Officer to send you transport coordinates
now to visit our facility.

<Receiving Attachment. Attachment Available-
http://www.swcity.net/tport.php?aw_2645S_5530E .>

As is normal, make sure all your medical records and shots are up to date
before visiting. You will require a passport. We are an equal opportunity
employer (Except for Bolians... they freak us out). Please come visit today!

(Ferruccio and myself did quite the team effort in making the ship. Take a
look for yourself if you dare! Ohh... and 'Enterprise' is HORRIBLE. No true
Trek fan can like that show.)

I talked to LtBrenton, and we went over the chatlogs and figured things out.
LtBrenton has removed the ship, and may attempt the creation of his own. We
just both ask that you please don't take this error in judgement to
permenantly damage his credibility. I am eagerly awaiting to see what
LtBrenton is able to create on his own, with the motivation Ferr and myself
helped to foster. Please note, if you do want to make a ship to be included
in the 'fleet' or involves material directly from the USS Glory, please
contact both Ferruccio and myself first and make sure we are both okay with
it.

I am very surprised to be ever hearing something like this. That the
CyAwards ever could belong to an individual. The CyAwards have always been
about the 'CommunitY', and rightfully belong to the community. The
community has always been the one to vote, to nominate, and to work to make
the Cys possible. How can you so easily forget all the members of the Cy
team that you have worked so hard to thank?

However, I do agree the Cys can no longer exist. So far most of the
responses seem to be wanting to keep the Cys up, want to for personnal gain,
and the sense of what community is is very blurred. Community will always
exist, but not necissarily in the way people want it to be. I know SWCity
seems to be interested in creating a replacement for the Cys and quite
frankly I find the idea revolting, as it would most definitly limit and deny
the awards to be something for the entire community. From what I have seen,
the only people that could replace AlphaBit Phalpha have left the community,
with the exception of Elyk who is much to busy as is. If someone can clone
Elyk, let me know... it would be much appreciated.

In the truest essence, the Cy Awards represents the community, and it
doesn't really matter if you win or lose, yet rather you become part of this
force that has driven people to magnificant pieces of art and selflessness
for so long. The heart of the community indeed lays within the CyAwards and
what it represents. It doesn't belong to anyone, and should NEVER be
associated with a single user or corperation. I feel shamed to ever hear
the day when such association would be made.

Or have the Cys I remember from the past died long ago?

Why is the "f" word a bad word? Why is the "s" word a bad word? Why is the
underworld word a bad word? They all refer to issues that parents deem are
not something kids should be prevy to at their age of imcomprehension. The
same goes for your word (a description of a buttocks). It's classic usage
(like with the other offensive words listed) lays in references parents
don't want referenced too... even though they it is seldom used for it's
literal meaning.

Now if you are considering every person who doesn't agree with your opinion
on this issue as ignorant, I don't see what point you are making as you are
purposely trying to isolate those you are trying to appeal to?

You don't consider your word to be derived from a word with vulger meaning?
This is to say that you consider the slang version of the word to preclude
the literal meaning? I find that highly unbelievable.

From what I know, it is best to stay away from saying all questionable
vulger language. Even if you don't consider it to be in your meaning. In
science, you can sometimes get away from using the "f" word and whatnot if
it is in the correct literal context. However you are admitting that you
aren't even using the conjugated word in the context it should be used. You
have admitted that you are not using it to the dictionary definition. So
why are you even using the word at all? In accordance to what you are
saying, it is slang, and therefore not a proper form on the English
language.

You failed to address my second concern too, which I find interesting. Who
are you trying to talk to with your arguments? What is your purpose and
point? Are you purposely trying to disrespect a majority of the people out
there by calling them names and furthermore disrespecting their decisions?
People have said they are offended by the word. How do you hope to argue
such a thing? And supposing you do somehow find such a way... how do you
hope to argue without disrespecting their opinion (and hence destroying any
change you have)?

I don't see any point in your continued discussion here, as you seem intent
at upsetting people.

Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you... happy birthday ALPHAWORLD!

Yes... 10 years ago on this date was when things began for the little
program Alphaworld, that eventually became Activeworlds. According to Mauz'
history page, June 28th was the day things started for the public. This has
been the date that the AW Community has been using for past celebrations.

With Festival and Reunion still a month away, we are planning a little get
together tonight at 12 AM VRT (7 PM PST) at... where else but the AW GZ!
Bring your old... err... vintage... era Cy avatar and share your history
with the world, the program, the experience... whatever comes to mind! The
key to the history of AW are the experiences of the people who fill it!

Well... myself and several AWCC community leaders came together a few months
ago to start planning. It was eventually decided just to do it with the
reunion coming up, as that was what AWHS was hard at work on (And AWHS is
the primary group you want for any historic landmark). With that decided,
it sorta went unnoticed as to the real date. However, that date is today
and we might as well do something ;) (In addition to all the bigger events
coming up)
